With all the uncertainty in world politics these days Tom and Ruairidh decided to elect their own “fantasy cabinet” to represent the UK.

The full cabinet is hidden below the “read more” break, so only read if you want spoiled!

Tom and Ruairidh finally provide a comprehensive look at Mass Effect Andromeda. Was it worth all the mentions? The Hype? The Backlash?

This week Tom and Ruairidh reminisce, discuss and predict Game of Thrones. 


*SPOILER WARNING* If you have not watched up to the end of Season 6 of A Game of Thrones there will be spoilers throughout.


Tom has read the books, Ruairidh hasn’t. Tom has been a fan from the early days, Ruairidh hasn’t.


The guys briefly talk about other HBO shows towards the end, and of course there’s even a very brief mention of Andromeda. They can’t help themselves!

After a break from recording Tom and Ruairidh are back, this time to talk about how they want to review the games which they play.
They’re tired of tried and tested basic reviews on websites which tend to be incredibly subjective and place mobile games in the same tier as AAA games of an objectively much higher calibre.
