The Staying In Podcast - four pals talk video games, board games, and movies

00:12 - How to make homemade mud (with Milliput, for Burrows & Badgers miniatures).

03:26 - Things get Napoleonic with Sails of Glory from Ares Games.

17:06 - Mission: Impossible - Fallout is the sixth outing for the film series. Weirdly put together, apparently, but still great, it turns out.

25:31 - Our fantasy football league is going well, but weirdly, so here's a Game Week 1 update.

31:01 - Dan's gone and bought his first graphic novel, which is The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins.

36:35 - Kris and Sam have been on their holidays and they will not shut up about it.

48:09 - Great holiday games? Survive: Escape from Atlantis!, Cobra Paw, Carcassonne, and The Mind, so sayeth Kris and Sam.

51:29 - The Exit: The Game series is great, we've said as much on previous episodes, but Sam's just taken on The Sunken Treasure and Dead Man on the Orient Express, and they come thoroughly recommended.

53:32 - Barbie Horse Adventures or Britney's Dance Beat? That's the question you've asked us, and by gosh that's the question we're going to answer. Got another one for us? Mail us on stayinginpod@gmail.com or DM us on Twitter or Facebook.

All that, plus interspersed sounds of tea being brewed, with Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Peter (@XeroXeroXero), and Sam (@MrSamTurner) in a somewhat topsy-turvy episode of our silly little podcast.

0:00 - Dan's going to be running a fantasy football league, and is hoping you'll take part! Prove him right by heading to fantasy.premierleague.com, nabbing an account, and entering 1089139-244175 as the code to get involved!

5:00 - Kris has gotten himself into a pickle with a christening card. No, we didn't think it was possible either.

13:35 - Should The Mind have won the Spieles des Jahres for 2018? Maybe! Sam certainly makes a good case for it.

22:17 - Yorkshire puddings and toffee sauce, the concept of “post-modern snacking”, and why you need to think like a child to truly appreciate genius.

28:15 - Look, yes, sure, we talk about Civilization V AGAIN in this episode, but it's a good game! Unless you're a complete beginner, which is one of the subjects around that title that we try and tackle.

37:30 - Another subject is how games can encourage you to learn through failure, and why that can work if done well, like in Cities: Skylines. Sam and Peter have been hard at work managing their citizens needs and wants in a manner that's got them thinking about whether a game can ever truly escape being “political”.

45:33 - “What would you dive into a pool of?” That's the question posed to us by @Adamski_UK via Twitter, and the answers are... well... you'll hear soon enough. And if you've got a question for the chaps then please DM them to us on Twitter or Facebook, or mail them via stayinginpod@gmail.com

That, plus the story of two prawn cocktails, with Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Peter (@XeroXeroXero), and Sam (@MrSamTurner).

Warning! We use Amazon Affiliate links where it makes sense in our podcast description. If you click one, then buy something on the store, then we get a tiny fraction of a kickback from that store. So only do that if you like the idea of the big retailer sending us some cash.
