One Life Left

Definitely the UK's favourite radio show (sort of) about videogames.


Commissioned by London’s award-winning Resonance 104.4 FM in early 2006, One Life Left was only meant to run for six episodes.

Take that, The Man because now, somewhere around one hundred and fifty episodes later, it’s in its seventh season and grown from humbling, terrified, fumbling beginnings into one of the station’s most valued shows.

Take THAT, The Man. Also take that, British radio standards.

Play

No Continues is One Life Left’s off-season weekly book / game club. Each week the team discuss three different games that incorporate a single theme. Last week’s theme was ‘Platforms’. You can listen to Episode 4 here.

Next week’s theme is ‘Physics’. The three games chosen for dissection by NC this week are:

1. Thrust (Jeremy Smith, 1986)

Play it here.

2. Peggle (Sukhbir Sidhu / Brian Rothstein, 2007)

You can find this on most formats now — the PC version is here but the iPod version comes recommended too.

3. GIRP (and QWOP) (Dr. Bennett Foddy, 2011)

Play it here.

Play, listen and contribute to the show live on Resonance 104.4FM at 7pm on Monday evening, or we’ll see you back here for the podcast.

    Hello!

    It’s probably my terrible eyesight, but I can’t work out how to download the show. I’m sure there used to be links on here to the files.

    Do I have to use iTunes now or something? Does it come with instructions?

    Ok, fine. The big, red, bold “You can listen to Episode 4 here” bit. I get it. Fine.

    But in my defence, you have moved it from where it used to be for the One Life Left podcasts.

    *slopes off quietly, hoping nobody will notice*
