August Annals: What We've Been Playing 16.09.2026 55minI'll let you into a secret. We've been lying to you all this time. Every week, when you think you're listening to the latest video game content your podcast app of choice has to offer, we've been pulling the wool over your eyes. That's right, what you've been hearing is literally weeks old. But don't fear, because The Boys are back and fresh as hell. With a month off between recordings, they've created quite a backlog of games, so in this episode they're going to recap the heady days of August and early September. Pierre spills the tea on what actually happened on his gaming PC's Odyssean adventure, Sarah's returned to an old nemesis and finds themselves much better acquainted than they expected and Glenn's been suffering from the munchies when the sun goes down.

First Impressions: Tutorials and Intros that Stick 09.09.2026 47minThis week we're getting to grips with the age-old tutorial. Whether it's boot camp, prison or simply being born every game takes its time to show you the ropes. The Boys look at the seamless, the absurd and the downright clunky attempts at tutorials. But before that, we catch up with what they've been playing. Pierre's switched off his brain with a psychedelic throwback to impenetrable Japanese games, Glenn's having a religious experience with spooky puppets and Sarah's revisiting a game we all thought they'd given up on.

Getting the Ick: How to Ruin a Game 02.09.2026 49minHave you ever found yourself enjoying a game and then BAM... you hit an ick? Something so minor but so off-putting that you just have to put the controller down and walk away. This week's episode is all about those moments. The small things that games can do to really ruin your experience. From cringey box blurb and clunky dialogue to lame side quests and lewd camera angles, we've got ick covered. But before that, we catch up with what the Boys have been up to. Sarah's been revisiting an absolute classic with a whole new perspective, while Glenn's been going extremely deep on his latest wildly addictive game.

You've Got to Be F***ing Kidding Me 26.08.2026 50minWe've all had those moments. You put down the controller, take a long, measured breath and express your absolute shock/consternation/contempt/awe (delete as applicable) with the phrase, 'You've got to be f***ing kidding me!' This week the Boys relive their most jaw-dropping debacles. Whether it's realising they can't complete a game because of a terrible decision, treacherous save points, game-changing power-ups or the simple act of a bad throw, you'll find it hard not to feel their pain. Before all that though, we catch up on their weeks, Sarah's been saddened by a clear statement on the climate crisis through the eyes of James Bond, Pierre's increasingly frustrated by Heavy Rain and Glenn's found himself surrounded by dead bodies and armed only with a notebook and a time machine.

One and Done: Games We’d Never Play Again 19.08.2026 51minThe past is a foreign country: they do things differently there. And we don't like different. Or too much of the same. And that's why this week's episode is all about the games you play once and have absolutely no appetite to return to. Whether it's outdated mechanics, not wanting to spoil their nostalgia or just because the games were plain terrible, the Boys examine the games they've known and loved but won't go near again. But before that walk down memory lane, we catch up with what they've been playing this week. Pierre's been preparing for battle with the Button Boys Battalion, Sarah's taken a musical trip north of the border and Glenn's got into dentistry, or at least that's what I think he said.

Food, Glorious Food (and Drink) 12.08.2026 51minPop on a bib and bring out your best dinnerware, as this week's theme is food and drinks. From phone booth chicken to liquid burgers for two, the Boys discuss the entire range of video game F&B. Mouthwatering meals and stomach-churning sustenance are all on the menu for today. But before that, we catch up with what they've been playing, with Sarah's discovery of a delightful point-and-click, Pierre's hungover magical chess and Glenn's determination to play a game that's more broke than woke.

The Future is Now: Times When Our Minds Were Blown 05.08.2026 1tEvery person who plays video games has had a moment when their jaw drops, their eyes widen and they find themselves dribbling onto their laps the sheer effort of comprehending the paradigmatic shift in front of them. Ok, maybe not every person. Still, this episode is dedicated to those moments: the times when you just couldn’t believe what a leap forward games had taken; the times when you realised the future was now. From achingly beautiful vistas and hyper-realistic mechanics to dense world-building and the bits where your character, unprompted, scratches their bum, the Boys cover it all. But before all that, Glenn tells a tale of utter humiliation and we catch up with what everyone’s been playing this week. Sarah's had a slight change of heart since last episode's theatrical hatchet job, Pierre's finally on board with Bond, and Glenn, of course, has found an indie game where he can do two jobs at once.

From Rags to Rupees: Money in Games 29.07.2026 52minUnzip your wallets and loosen your coin pouches because this episode's all about the most filthy of lucre: money. From septims to souls, in-game currency has been integral to countless RPGs, platformers and Glenn's favourite shopkeeper games. But how do you spend yours? When does it work, and when does money lose all meaning? Why does Glenn like being poor so much? And what's the vendor doing with all my cheese? But before all that, the Boys catch up on what they've been playing this week. Glenn's wardrobe malfunction ruins a finale while Sarah's been longing for more skateboarding but has ended up at the theatre with a not-so-progressive Peach.

Good Boss, Bad Boss 22.07.2026 55minThis week's episode is all about bosses, from the good ones to the bad ones to the really, really old ones. The Boys recount the most annoying boss mechanics, challenging fights and memorable final encounters. Before they get too bossy, though, the Boys catch up on what they've been playing this week. While Pierre has been enjoying competing online in an old favourite, Sarah and Glenn have been surviving two different types of zombie apocalypse: one tense and thrilling, the other deeply problematic.

Heartbreak 15.07.2026 54minThe rage, the desperation, the cries of "Why, God, why did you do this to my beautiful boy?" This week's episode is all about gaming heartbreak. Hundreds of thousands of hours of gaming time are lost every year to power cuts, faulty chips and malevolent cousins. We all know that pain. Was it all for nothing? Well, this week, the Boys, in the safe space of the shed, share stories of anguish from their gaming lives. But first, we catch up with what they've been playing. Sarah's commanding a horde of minions, Pierre's old habits have come back to haunt him and Glenn's trying his absolute hardest to stick to the beat. This is our 52nd episode: a whole year of Button Boys. And what a year it’s been. From pubic maintenance and mayor gorillas to sewer assassins, incredible guests and amazing contributions, we’ve loved every minute of it. We couldn’t have done it without you, so thank you, and here’s to the next 52! To follow along with the Button Boys outside the podcast: BUTTON BOYS LIVE!

Time Enough at Last: Games to Play When the World Stops 08.07.2026 46minThere is never, ever enough time to game. This week's episode dares to dream of a world in which we have nothing to do: no obligations, no commuting, no structure. Basically, 2020. If the world were to shut down again, what are the games that you'd finally love to play? Is there an epic RPG you just can't see yourself completing, or an open-world multiplayer game that requires too much commitment? If time were no object, how would you spend it (assuming it's video game-related)? But before those big questions, the Boys catch up on what they've been playing. Pierre's taken counsel on a dungeon crawler, Sarah finds themselves in a power struggle in Downing Street and Glenn's getting scarily interactive with his TV.

Slop Til You Drop: Shovelware, Clones and Cash Grabs 01.07.2026 54minIn this week's episode, the Boys scrape up the fetid sludge from the bottom of the barrel to see what absolute slop they can find. From clones to cash grabs, smut to even smuttier smut, they've braved the worst so you don't have to. But, much like their mudlarking counterparts, they've managed to find a few glistening trinkets amongst the detritus. Elsewhere, the new Patreon Age of Empires playalong has begun, with one of the Boys being left out in the cold. Pierre's been going deep simulation on his favourite WWII game, Glenn's experienced the worst day in Australia that you can imagine and Sarah's been suffering from a bout of morality caused by our future Player 4 guest, Alasdair Beckett-King.

The Prediction Game: Half-Time Report 24.06.2026 52minCast your minds back to the start of the year, in the dank, dark depths of winter, when our intrepid hosts, full of hope and joy, set out their stalls with their most hotly anticipated games of the year and risked it all to be crowned Best Boy 2026. Fast forward to late June: sweltering heat, the world in a state of turmoil, the perfect time to check in on how they're getting on. What are their scores so far? Any delays? Has Novellie's Curse struck again? The Boys will have a chance to change course by swapping out a game, but will they waver?

And who better to join us than the award-winning journalist, author, host of My Perfect Console and friend of the show, Simon 'Podcast' Parkin. Simon edited the recently announced Look for the Light: The Last of Us Anthology, which contains interviews, essays and critical dispatches. While putting it together he caught up with Neil Druckmann himself to reflect on the making of the games and their cultural impact. We'll also catch up with what they've been playing, with World Cup mashups, addictive dice games and real-life robberies, and Simon reveals his dream podcast guest (excluding the Button Boys of course).

Empty Calorie Gaming 03.06.2026 52minThis week's topic, as kindly suggested by BirdsNest on the Discord, is the vacuous, time-wasting, mind-numbing empty-calorie games that we just can't get enough of. As always, we catch up with what the Boys have been up to. Pierre's headed into training against the hard-as-nails CPU in a quarter-of-a-century old game, and Glenn, Sarah and Producer Ben have been off to a very swanky event for a little sneak peek (and sausages).

Or talk about games they thought they didn't like and now they do, whichever's easiest. This week on the gaming road to Damascus it's all about U-turns. Pierre has done an about-face on story games, Sarah's done a 180 on wacky gunslingers and Glenn's completely Lego of his prejudices with the blocky franchise. But first, the Boys catch up with what they've been playing. Sarah's immediately broken the rules from last week's podcast, Pierre's embraced it with both hands and Glenn's got a sneak peek at a sequel of one of his all-time favourites.

CEX Appeal: The Gift Game 20.05.2026 1t 1minFresh episode, come get your fresh episode! You'll pay how much? Practically robbing me at that price. Go on then, fill yer boots. If you hadn't guessed already, this week the Boys have headed off to the market on the hunt for the best cheap games they can get their hands on. Armed with £15, they've been haggling and bartering to find the most appealing game. Will they strike gold in the bargain bins or be fleeced like fools? Before all that though, we're due a big catch-up. Sarah's gone as far Inside as they can go, Pierre's not playing a war OR strategy game and Glenn's stuck deciding between an early access blockbuster and a game about someone being stuck making decisions.

This week we're rummaging around the gaming arsenal to find our most beloved weapons. From battle axes to bazookas, howitzers to holy hand grenades, we've got it covered. As always, we catch up on what the Boys have been playing, with Pierre beguiled by kingly fortunes, Sarah borrowing a stone-cold classic puzzle-platformer and Glenn splitting his time between a handsome roguelite and gas station customers in gastric distress. Stay tuned to the end as we reveal the winner of last week's game pitch competition. Will Glenn's bartender, Pierre's Benedictine monk or Sarah's brain-starved zombies win out?
