Beardexit

Christi & Ian campaign for a better life in gaming escapism than the one voted for in the General Election 2017. This episode we delve into the murky depths of dirty rally mud pools, vampiric vanquishings and windy wipeout waverings! Poke fun at us for our glistening pre-E3 rambling predictions, and then return to Overwatch for a lootbox or two!

A Bit of a Stooshie

Awakening the Bear, teleporting the Vulcan

Christi returns from his ursine winter hibernation, whilst Ian drops out of Temporal Warp from the 23rd Century to mould a new episode of Laserbeards for 2017.

The Mirror Universe

Christi and Ian make a comeback, and tackle the phase shift that has taken place since our last episode. We see a darker side to the future of civilisation and then waffle on about games as a distraction.

We wipeout, hack, drone and mech our way through the hordes of the zombie apocalypse, leaving you agog with awe at the virtual immersion. Finally we push an @ symbol around some corridors and search for the lost amulet of Yendor. Rounding off with Christi’s new found love for comic artistry.

We are the cyber-technopriests, they will come…

I am a little teapot. Short and stout.
