The GRcade Twitchcast Episode 25 - Chilled Christmas Cha


This week the hosts of the GRcade Twitchcast are Jazzem, Mattking85, Pedz and The Doom Spoon.

This week Doom and Pedz start the Twitchcast to talk about Christmas. Well, it's more about what Christmases in the past have really stuck in their memory. The stories that are told are generally very happy stories. Though Doom does have a saddening story about him and his Grandfather.

The chat turns to Game of the Year. Booth Doom and Pedz are sort of at a loss. While both have played a fair few games, most have been from previous years. They did narrow it down in the end, though.

Doom then Asks Pedz the question, what if anything in the gaming space left an impression on you? Pedz has a think and both Doom and Pedz discuss what had left impressions on them, both positive and negative.

Unfortunately, Doom has to leave, but Matt and soon after Jazzem joins to talk about their happy Christmas game memories. They also talk about their Games of the Year and again the question s asked if anything left an impression on you. There are actually quite a few things talked about between Matt, Jazzem and Pedz.

It was a little different this week in that Pedz suggested playing some games while doing the Twitchcast in hope that it would have a different feel to the normal as while no Christmas games played it was thought that having a slightly different feel to the Twitchcast would be nice when talking about Christmas experiences.

The GRcade Twitchcast Episode 24


This week, only The Doom Spoon is available to take part in the Twitchcast.

Doom has a lot to talk about too. First off there's the State of Play, which had Sony show a few new games.

Afterwards, there was the Nindies, or as it's fairly recently changed to Indie World. Which again shows a fair few new titles and gives date s for some already announced things.

Lastly, there are the Game Awards. Doom goes through the announcements and then goes through the awards. Doom seems to be very angry at Disco Elysium, for some reason.

The GRcade Twitchcast Episode 23: Playing Games and Singing


This week Jenuall, Pedz, The Doom Spoon and Victor Mildew are your wonderful hosts.

The conversations start with Half-Life: Alyx, and reminiscing about Half-Life in general and some VR chat too.

We then have Victor Mildews Debut of his second Christmas song. The opening song was his first.

Victor has to leave us again here as he is unwell, has work the next and has to walk his doggo. The guys continue to talk games though and they move onto Poké... No, no Pokémon this week, the chat is actually about Sonic the Hedgehog. There have been a fair few things unearthed by people when it comes to Sonic Prototypes and the guys like Sonic and are all interested in looking at things that 'may have been but did not come to pass'.

Lastly, when the topic changes again, its focus is not on a particular game or series, but it goes back to a subject from a previous week and that is talking about game streaming, Stadia, Xcloud are Amazon coming into the fray? What do the guys think? Are they getting paid for the things they are saying about Amazon?
