Gamewank: The Next Generation

Jim Trinca, Richie Morgan

It's back, and it's not even pretending to be about games. Returning for a new generation of consoles, Jim and Ric are a bit older and a bit more knackered, but they still love video games, Star Trek, and being a pair of daft auld rides. read less

Episode Ten or 54: Oaxtershed (Community Episode)
This in an episode of Gamewank starring... everyone! Well, not everyone, but a bunch of people from the Exclusive Gamewank Discord got together with Jim to record Community Gamewank, a mad experiment that actually worked! In this we discussed:   Trekkies and Trekkies 2: the most tragic documentaries of all time Why are Square Enix betting the farm on crypto? Who are Embracer and why are they buying everything? Who cares, as long as we get new Deus Ex and Tomb Raider? What Marvel Midnight Suns reviews got wrong! Also: does Richie really hate Jim's cat? And the SHOCKING truth about the infamous "Star Trek t-shirt and a hot girl in a lift" story. Thank you so much to Victoria! Bickmore! Fish Balloon! El Raginho! Gregamiah! PJams! Kyun! Truls B! And all of you for listening! We'll be back again for easter.

Episode Seven or 51: Dransfield
Gamewank is back! Join Jim and guest host Ian for a big Chat Sandwich about Ghostwire Tokyo, PlayStation Plus Extra, Halo The TV Show, Elder Scrolls The TV Show and Judge Dredd The TV Show, as well as the usual crap. Jim and Richie will return later, and Ian will too because he's basically a regular now. Fine. Ian Dransfield has had the sort of career in games media that's long and varied enough for him to be referred to as a 'veteran' despite having never been in a war. He's written for such illustrious publications as the complaints form for his local council, someone else's MySpace page, and LiveJournal. He's also done loads of other things that are frankly none of your business.

Richie is joined by Owen, Sean, and Gav to lust after Vienetta and/or Irish Ice Creams, fighting bots in Fortnite, the Eurogamer Expo (mind that?), their earliest memories of, uh, wanking, and of course the seminal PS2 title Tak and the Power of Joo Joo. Jim's no in it because he had an argument with Richie about rice cookers. He's also moving house, but he'll be back next month. Thanks to Owen of The Infinite Review, Gav of Geshcast and Sean of Paperbag Animator for making sure Richie didn't have to do this on his own (god, can you imagine?)

Ric and Jim resurrect Gamewank, the gaming podcast that's mostly about Riker and bums. Nobody asked them to do it and they don't know why they did it. To kick off a new gen we discuss what's great about the PS5 and Xbox Series X, Game Pass, Spider-Man in 60fps, Riker, bums, Riker's bum, willies, forecourts, being old,
