Hey! Look! Listen!

Episode 20: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

For the third time we take a look at the Metal Gear Solid series, delving into the 1960s-set prequel, Snake Eater. We talk about topics that range from eating frogs, to Bond theme songs, to killing old men by changing the clocks on our Playstation 2s. This is our 20th episode (kind of) and we'd like to thank everyone who's been listening to Hey! Look! Listen! and who have allowed us to chat about video games to such a silly degree. Go raibh míle maith agaibth! 

The Capcom Five

In late 2002, Capcom announced that they would be releasing a collection of five games with the goal of boosting sales for the Nintendo Gamecube. Each of these five games were wildly different from each other, and varied in overall quality, but all ended up being at the very least really interesting, weird games. One even ended up being an absolute masterpiece. Gather 'round for some good old reminiscing about this little pocket of gaming history.    

Episode 19: The Last of Us: Part II

We continue our examination of the horrible world of The Last of Us by moving on to its much anticipated but eventually divisive sequel. We talk about the controversial narrative choices that Naughty Dog made with this next chapter, as well as the evolution of its brutally violent gameplay. And, from a safe distance and while wearing safety goggles, we ponder the reasons why a certain percentage of the fanbase just plain hated this game.     

Episode 18: The Last of Us

Welcome to the 18th episode of Hey! Look! Listen!, which is all about the feel-good romp that is Naughty Dog's The Last of Us! So join us as we discuss this merry tale, which begins with a tender moment between a father and daughter, and ends with a heart-warming promise being made.   

The Path to the Playstation

Gather 'round and hear a vague and meandering telling of how the Sony Playstation came about in the mid 90s, and how it changed the gaming landscape forever. 

Episode 17: Player Select: Our Favourite Games

On this week's episode, we each wax lyrical about our favourite games. Liam talks about the melancholic N64 classic The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Jon reminisces about the high adventure of Skyrim. And Owen gets all fuzzy over Final Fantasy IX, the cutest of all Final Fantasies.

Episode 16: Conker's Bad Fur Day

On this week's episode, we reflect on our time with the greedy, hard-drinking, red squirrel, Conker; who controversially made waves with his cult classic on the N64. 

Episode 15: Rockstar Games

From the wild west to the streets of Vice City, on this week's episode, we deep-dive into the rich history of games from the universally lauded developer Rockstar Games. 

Episode 14: The Nintendo Switch

A new Nintendo Switch appears! This week we discuss the first 4 years of the Nintendo Switch and the recent announcement of the Switch OLED Model. And of course, no Nintendo conversation would be complete without a walk down Wii U memory lane.

Episode 13: A Celebration of E3 Past and Present

But before we leave, we have one more thing. This week, we sit down and chat about E3 events of yesteryear, our favourite gaming and non-gaming moments, and the future of the gaming industry's most celebrated yearly trade show.
