116: The Wiji
James is away again this week and Mat is absolutely gutted because he’s been playing Detroit: Become Human and has a few things to say about James’ opinions.

115: Balanced Opinion
All four of us are present for the first time in weeks, and we launch straight into an argument about why David's opinion on Yakuza 0 is an issue, whereas the opinion from "My Sean" is perfectly valid. Elsewhere the plate and whether things are technically on or off it is discussed again, plus Fortnite on Android, Nintendo's sales figures, and which TCGS member is most like one of the cast from Only Fools and Horses. Games discussed: Yakuza 0, Hollow Knight, No Man's Sky NEXT, Faeria, The Council: Episode 3, Pool Panic, Lego City Undercover, Gears of War 4, The Last of Us, Abzu, State of Anarchy: Master of Mayhem, Rocket League, Fortnite EGX 2018 Watch The Computer Game Show LIVE at EGX 2018 on Saturday 22nd September.

114: Editorialised
Sean returns but James ruins any chance we had of having a full cast by dropping out just hours before recording. We should be mad really but to be fair to him he’s put the effort in by pre-recording the news and mailing it in. He won’t editorialise it though, no way. Mat reacts to whether the listeners think Super Mario Odyssey is off of his plate or not and David struggles to get back into No Man’s Sky. Games discussed: Nintendo Labo, Mugsters, Fortnite, The Banner Saga 1 & 2, Hollow Knight, Bomber Crew, No Man's Sky NEXT, Yakuza 0, Warframe.

113: On Your Plate
This week's show is like one of those crime documentaries that you see on Netflix. We go live from the TCGS court where James Farley, who is definitely guilty, tries to defend ROM sites. Judge Turner is not convinced but is willing to hear what the defendant has to say. In a strange turn of events Prosecuting Lawyer Mat Murray has to take to the stands to defend himself over a claim that he has completed the Super Mario Odyssey 500 moon challenge and the Judge has a confession to make about playing football in a heatwave. All this and more on this week's episode of TCGS Court. Games discussed: Nintendo Labo, Mugsters, Celeste, Super Mario Odyssey, The Lion’s Song, Hollow Knight, The Last of Us, Pure / Electric Love “What do you want?” - Eri Kitami EGX 2018 Watch The Computer Game Show LIVE at EGX 2018 on Saturday 22nd September.

112: Excelling in Skills
Both James and Sean sit out this week so David and Mat call on an old friend to fill the gap. David finishes The Spectrum Retreat and reveals whether or not it lives up to last week's hype while Mat has to defend his lack of deodorant use. News is a bit thin on the ground this week, but the boys have some news of their own to keep things interesting. EGX 2018 Watch The Computer Game Show LIVE at EGX 2018 on Saturday 22nd September.

111: Please
It's coming home, It's coming home, It's coming, Football's coming home (x4). Everyone seems to know the score, they've seen it all before, they just know, they're so sure, that England's gonna throw it away gonna blow it away but I know they can play ‘cause I remember three Lions on a shirt. Jules Rimet still gleaming. Thirty years of hurt. Never stopped me dreaming. So many jokes, so many sneers but all those oh-so-nears wear you down through the years but I still see that tackle by Moore and when Lineker scored, bobby belting the ball and Nobby dancing. Three Lions on a shirt. Jules Rimet still gleaming. Thirty years of hurt. Never stopped me dreaming. EGX 2018 Watch The Computer Game Show LIVE at EGX 2018 on Saturday 22nd September.

110: Wine With Cage
With David being ill and Mat and James both nursing hangovers we were a little concerned that this week’s show might be a washout. Turns out that all we needed was more Life is Strange to talk about and an excuse to walk down memory lane. This ended up being a very fun one to record, so you’d better bloody like it.

109: Draxit
To close out our E3 coverage the boys go over the predictions they made before E3 had started and work out who out of the four has won. David finishes Detroit and is eager to talk to James about it, Sean wonders why his name is always read out last and Mat gets to confront the others on the lies they told him last week.

106: A Statement
It’s back to business this week as David has taken notes of the show’s output since he’s been away and within moments the show gets back to normal. There’s a statement that needs to be read out relating the future of the podcast, David has fallen in love with a game, James talks David Cage and Mat gets told some truths in a hope that it might put him back in his box.

105: Fair to Share
David and Jon are away AGAIN, so this week it’s a Mat and James special. It’s a serene affair, as the two friends calmly discuss topics such as last week’s Games Media Brit List awards and our EGX live show announcement. And there's other stuff to discuss; from pre-E3 news to questions about contraception. It’s all happening this week. Watch TCGS LIVE at EGX on Saturday 22nd September 2018.

104: Purple Dress
David's unwell and Jon's away, so Mat and James draft in podcast rivals Leon Cox and Darren Gargette from Cane and Rinse for this week's episode. There's a ton of news to get through, with everything from Nintendo's online offering to E3 leaks. Discussion then turns to God of War, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, Moss, Laser League and more. Oh and with David being away, Mat's back to edit this week's show. Funny how David said "Oh you'll never edit this show again!" a few weeks ago, and now look. What crap. Anyway, it's a great edit this week with absolutely no laughter removed. Mostly becsause there was very little to remove in the first place. We're nominated for a Mixcloud Online Radio Award!

103: Handing In Our Notice
James returns and although he was happy with the show last week, he’s furious with not getting credit for putting the news together. Mat continues to dream about being his favourite Ghostbuster, Gordon. Jon tries to convince everyone that he isn’t a competitive person and David gets put in his place by someone who isn’t on the show. All this and more on another breathtaking episode of The Computer Game Show.

102: TGCS
James has to miss out on the show this week as he had work commitments leaving David, Mat and Jon to wonder what his work life must be like. Mat is getting a little too excited for Season 4 of Fortnite while David and Jon make solid progress with God of War as well as coming up with an idea for a new YouTube channel.

101: Hierarchy
This week the lads have had to decide who the most important people on the show are and some members aren’t happy with the results. They also talk about performing the show live at Rezzed 2018 and the nightmare of a week that followed. There’s the usual chat about the games they’ve played and the answers they’ve got for listener’s questions but less face it, all you lot care about is the drama.

099: Edited
Tensions rise between all of the hosts as David has a thing or two to say about Mat’s editing. The show moves on to talk about why Steam Boxes failed, whether big budget games have to avoid political issues in order to not alienate an audience and despite A Way Out being disappointing, why they would still recommend you play it. But I’ll be honest, everyone is on tenterhooks throughout.

098: Bad Tattooist
This week's show is all about the games: disappointing games, co-op games, Grainger Games, political games and games awards. David's positive about a game with some negative press, Jon's still angry about a game with mixed press, Mat's largely positive about a game with disappointing press, and James is interested, mostly.
