Christmas Market Economies
Hello, I hope you’ve all suitably recovered from my exciting performance at the Blue Posts last week. Something that probably takes a bit of getting over I’m sure. Though if you fancy reliving the experience, you can videos of it here http://youtube.com/user/DerekFME (Thanks to Charlie Miller for filming it for me) (I would have embedded the videos but can’t work out how).
Anyway I’m mainly here to update you all with the final part of my A Christmas Carol Market Economy trilogy. Many of you at the party were eager to know how it all ended.
And if you need a recap, here’s the earlier parts:
Download part 2 here
Download part 1 here
And as a special Christmas bonus, here’s a couple of other Christmas related FME productions. The second one being a particular favourite of mine.

And remember any unwanted games I’ll be happy to take off your hands for free. Oh and to any of you who wanted details of buying CDs of my music just email me at derek at onelifeleft.com for details.
Merry christmas!

One Life Left — s05e20 — #116 — Bango
It’s the week of the OLL Christmas Party, which means it’s the last episode of the show before christmas. So no guest this week, just the team reflecting on a magical year of adventures, awards, and typical incompetence. Bango!
Also in #116:
++ Ste returns from 10 days of drinking, manages to just about hold things together
++ Simon loses it in the letters section
++ Ann comes up with a new catchphrase
Music in Episode 20 all comes from Overclocked Remix, who celebrated their 10th anniversary recently. Happy birthday!
Direct link to the episode mp3 here.
One last thing: come to the Christmas Party. You’ll regret it if you don’t.
love,
Team OLL

One Life Left — s05e19 — #115 — MCs Three
Look, it sounds a bit like MCV, which is where industry gatekeeper and this week’s superguest Michael French works. He’s editor-in-chief, no less: making him, literally, the man in charge of the games industry’s news. Marvel as we give him the customary OLL grilling, and manage to glean literally none of his secrets.
Elsewhere it’s business as usual. We’ve features, chat, a joke (of sorts), music and no Ste: he’s drinking in a holiday camp once again. We secretly suspect he’s a Redcoat . And when we say “secretly” we now mean publicly. No Ste means horrific desk errors, due to a the schoolboy one of not actually numbering the tracks on the CD. Our Twitter Poll encouraged us to leave the mistakes in. Blame the listeners, not the broadcasters. You know Chris Moyles records his shows a month in advance, don’t you?
Hey, write us: We love your letters. But if that’s not enough, we sometimes reward those who take the time to correspond with free things – this week, we have PSP Minis D-Cube Planet and Circles as prizes, thanks to the kindness of developer GameShastra. And as we – or Michael – call it: these can soon be enjoyed on the PS3. It would have been another One Life Left EX-EX-EX-excusive if the podcast had been up on time.
Next week: the team reunite, for our last show of the year. And most importantly, the last show before the OLL Christmas knees-up (Friday December 18th, from 5:00pm, with a live show at 8:00pm. The Blue Posts, Rupert Street, Soho). It will be literally unbroadcastable: hear it while you can.
See you soon.
Lots of love

One Life Left — s05e18 — #114 — Press Gang
Episode #114 of One Life Left brings the gang back together: Ste’s back from Venice and Simon’s back from a fact-finding mission to Gamespot. Ann hasn’t been anywhere, but that doesn’t stop her delivering a world exclusive from nowhere in the letters section…
This week they’re joined by another special guest. It’s one of the secret rulers of the games industry: Steve Owen from Gamespress. Press, you see? Press and gang. Press gang!
Right. Rather than spoiling the rest of the episode, which features a bonus Craig the Rage that wasn’t in the live show, here are three things you should remember to do in December:
1) Come to our Christmas party
2) Come to our Christmas party
3) Come to our Christmas party.
It’s on Friday 18th December, at The Blue Posts in Rupert St, Soho. It’ll be the last show of the year and we’ll see you there.
Music in #114 from the Depreciation Guild. Find us on Twitter / Facebook. Oh, and tell your friends! See you next week.
Here’s the direct link to the MP3.
