Loads of laughs, loving and living in this month’s podcast, alongside an announcement at the end!

Merry Christmas to all of our pals, and to all of our enemies too.

Right, I know we don’t talk about the Wii U for like 20 minutes at the start, but please be patient!

Most sporadically released podcasts would do at least one feature about Halloween - not us though!

We recorded after Joe’s usual bedtime (8pm) to make sure that we could bring you the latest red hot video game #content. Please enjoy with a small beer, wine, juice or a glass of ice cold Scottish tap water.

After 100 episodes, it’s finally time to talk about mattresses.

Loads of shite for your delight.

The road to episode 100 starts now! Elden Ring, Scottish Poetry, Metacrockofshit, Is it Canon? and all of your pressing questions! Enjoy, share, care.

Welcome to another satisfying episode of the premier video game podcast from East Ayrshire!

Join as we talk at length about some games and films we enjoyed in 2021! Listen as Joe tries to play word game that’s already yesterday’s news. Thank you, as always, for listening and supporting us!

I’ll be honest - I’ve been pretty ill since we recorded this, and I can’t remember what we talk about. I’m pretty sure we talked about video games, but it’s hard to remember.

Chalk on your DS? That dug is getting snatched.

A triumph or just an umph? You decide.

High effort features are just as good as low effort ones, if you squint hard enough.

I guess we’re back? Well, let’s not make any promises we can’t keep.We answer loads of questions, and we have four 6/10 features. I mean, that’s not bad, right?

Questions, a small canon, and Joe's mouth sounds.

Apologies for the quality of the audio, but I recorded my side in a cupboard and Joe used his phone (???).We’re got two Canons, two daft features and, of course, your answers to our monthly question.See you all soon (or maybe later?)

What price fun, should it be free? How much would you pay, to fund the BBC?

We cheered. We shouted. We fist pumped the air. We cried. We stood and cheered. It’s a podcast.

Merry Christmas pals! Hope you have a great day and an even better 2020.

We go Yu Suzuki daft this month (although at the time of recording, we'd not played Shenmue 3).Two versions of Yu Suzuki Canon, Virtua Clucker and Casio or Classico and some of your worst work-based fuck ups.

A wee tipple and chat about Yakuza 7

Three new features and one that we’ve absolutely pounded into dust for our bread. Please enjoy and throw money away at patreon.com/bitsocket

The return of Hannah's game, we enter the Matrix and trudge our way through the swamp that is Amazon. Also Sinister Bottom and Is it Canon.

Features old and new, some video game chat and two Scottish men in a shed. Award-winning? You’d better believe it.

We know this podcast is a little quiet, but it was that or have loads of bloody hissing, and I don’t know about you, I don’t speak Parseltongue. Anyway, the video will be the best way to enjoy this, so I’m told!

It was a sweaty day for the Bit Socket Boys when we recorded this! Some new features (one good, one...well, you'll see). We'll be taking a break in May as Joe's off galavanting, but we should be announcing our next live show very, very soon!

Get ready to face the Canon (and the Canonette).May God have mercy on our souls.

Please forgive us, here’s some talk about video games and the Nintendo Direct from Feb 2019.

Honestly, one of the best, most focused and, importantly, the funniest podcast we’ve ever made.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll block us online and cancel your Patreon sub.

We talk about our games of 2018, read from the official novelisation of Metal Gear Solid 1 and generally bicker.

A few big laughs in here!

GOTY Chat, 2K17 style

Questions baby!

Definitely worth listening to 45, 50, 52 and 60 for this one!

Pretty sure this one was pretty funny.

Booze and battering

We didn't do a podcast for a bit because Joe had a baby. I mean, not Joe himself, but his wife. The boy is now nearly a year old.

Booze and (Clones of the) Boss

Uploading this approx a year on, no idea what it's about. This episode of Westworld is cracking though.

Booze and (ro)bots

Booze and Zelda

Our pal Graeme made some and it was amazing

The conclusion to the Tokyo Joe story arc!

Not a clue, I was a very new parent when we recorded this.

GOTY discussions from two years ago. Relevant as always.

There's no need to be afraid

Joe, Barry, Andy and occasionally Scott put the whole series in order from worst to best.

This is the one where we didn't win a GMA

I think we talked about Ridge Racer?

Joe was on holiday I think, so I invited Gavin Spence to my home and afterwards we had a lasagna

Recorded at Drygate, Glasgow, our second live show features Sonic Adventure Karaoke, blind drawing, Is It Canon and more!

Not a single clue. You tell me.

Long, hard to listen to and not universally loved. It's like a mid-90's Tom Waits album.

I think we recorded this on Arran, but I could be wrong.

I imagine it's full of good laughs and banter. No idea, can't remember. It's been two years.

No clue, we recorded it almost exactly two years ago and I'm uploading everything made in the Acast years back onto the website.

It's our first ever live show! On Saturday 26th of March an audience of 60 folk descended upon Sloan's in Glasgow to watch the Bit Socket boys talk about games, sing Yakuza Karaoke, listen to Jimmy Shand's Videogame Band. Enjoy!

Welcome to a world of mystery and excitement! We've got all your favourites and, in our longest feature to date, the beginning of the Bit Socket D&D Adventure!

Also, check out our t-shirts, designed to cover your filthy body. Find out more here!

Oh my! It's a new podcast! Firstly, sorry for my sore throat and the gentle echo of our voices. This episode sees the return of Bad-Libs, Sinister Bottom and Fire Emblem is fired out of the Bit Socket Canon!

Hello you beautiful human beings! Here's a special podcast dedicated to the most special of all consoles, the Playstation 2. We'll be talking about our memories, your memories, t-shirts, Metacritic, Shinobi and God Hand! Truly, this is The Third Place. Indulge, bulge and purge.

Come over here and cut me a slice of that thick Boaby's Pizza. We're back with our first podcast of 2016 and it's a belter.

It's nearly Christmas and we've pretty much ignored that for a whole 58 minutes. Anyway, we talk about Star Wars games, Sonic the Hedgehog and Champagne Jam. We've had a great year making the podcast, and a massive thanks to everyone who has downloaded and enjoyed the show this year. Also, here's the link from @VS_Affro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4wgFy7CWHY (NSFW) See you in 2016, Keeeeeeep Bit Socketin'! Feed/iTunes

Hello and welcome to a pretty short podcast! I'd like to apologise for any background noise and table bumps you might hear, this was a pretty rushed affair! But it's still an absolute peach. A juicy, delicious peach of a podcast, all about games (mostly Xenoblade Chronicles X), Joe's Bad-libs and Animal Crossing features in Is it Canon? As always, enjoy, share and procreate.

He's everyone's favourite character from the Star Wars series, George Binks, the loan advisor. This time around we talk about games, have features about games and Joe talks about his first sexual experience. Enjoy and share! Feed/iTunes

The first in our new series of award-winning podcasts starts as it means to go on, by drawing #content from a swiftly drying well. We have all our usual gubbins plus a cameo from the very funny Holly and Kate from Toku Podcast in our headline feature, Is it Canon? and, of course, we talk about winning the video game equivalent of a goddamn Oscar. Enjoy, share and live forever.

Five years ago this October, we started Bit Socket. It's been a long half-decade, with many ups and downs and we're now going to laugh about our failures and turn them into pure #content. All your favourites and many more, including our first proper audience interaction which is definitely something we'll be doing again! As always, please rate, share and enjoy the podcast, and thanks for all the support you've all given us over the last five years.

We've got all your favourites and that's all, no more and certainly no less.

In the last days before the release of Metal Gear Solid V, we look back over some of our most loved games by making some pretty awful features and laughing at our own jokes. We've got a 5 Minute Challenge, a true CYOA available on our website, Is it Canon, Snake Charmer and your MGS memories. We hope you enjoy the podcast, and feel free to rate and review us on iTunes and talk about us in your sleep.

A wee taste of our flavoursome #content as we prepare for next weeks MGS Special, which will be off the hook. In the here and now though, we have 5 Minutes with Sound Shapes, Shotgun Top 5, Is it Canon? and a stolen quiz. As always and unto the end of time, enjoy, share and rate this little old podcast.

You read right, dear listener, it's our Yakuza Special! We've packed it full, FULL, of features including 5 Minutes in Heaven with Yakuza 5, Shogun Top 5, Karaoke, Is it Canon and a choose your own adventure! In fact, that's pretty much all the features.

Believe me when I say that Joe's new feature came at me so hard and fast that I was stunned by it's nature. Listen and you'll understand why. Alongside the most shocking feature Joe's devised are all your usual pals including Is it Canon and 5 Minutes in Heaven. I also whip up a new feature called Alternate Title all about alternate titles. Remember to give us a rating on iTunes and share this with your most special Uncle.

Bit Socket is a video game show all about two of the sleepiest boys. This week we talk about the ghost of E3 past, riddles, and the fabulous F-Zero canon. We also talk about lighting the Advent candle. Remember to rate and subscribe to the show and get it on your Dad's phone as a wee pre-Father's day gift.

Joe returns to the podcast with our most x-rated feature yet, so if you've made the mistake of listening to this with children, you've been warned.

Hello dear friends, it's time for another podcast! While Joe is away on his honeymoon, joining me on the podcast this time around is my wife Ali. We talk about games, have some of our usual features and talk about our impending divorce. What fun!

The Prodigal Son has returned. Joe has rushed back to the Bit Socket recording studio to try and wipe the taste of Richie Morgan from your delicate ears. This week we have some of the features we presume are your favourites, including 5 Minutes in Heaven, this time around with Titan Souls, Shotgun top 5, Is it Canon? and a new feature which doesn't get the chance to outstay it's welcome. As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast, and feel free to share it and enjoy it with your God of choice.

It's that time again! It's episode 25. Now, sadly Joe was out of the country when we recorded this podcast, so we had Richie Morgan of Gamewank and The Fillums attempt to fill Joe's massive size 11s. We've got some of your favourite features, including what I think is a career best Is it Canon? Remember to rate and subscribe to the podcast if you haven't already and keep Bitsocketin'!

It's our birthday! Two episodes a month for a full year and yet we're still doing pretty much the same features month in and month out. This time around we have 5 minutes in Heaven with Valiant Hearts, a very self-referential Shotgun Top 5, Joe's idea of a Birthday-themed Is it Canon? and a smooth Sinister Bottom. A massive thanks to everyone that's been listening and talking about the podcast over this last year, we love you all.

What an action-packed episode we have for you today, I'm jealous that I can't listen to it anew. We have plenty of our regular features, including 5 Minutes in Heaven with OlliOlli 2 on PS4, Is it Canon? and the return of Metacrockofshit. Joe also has a vibrant and exciting musical feature! Say Your Bit this week is all about what shocks our listeners about the videogame industry. Enjoy and share with your elderly family and friends.

Nothing says Christmas more to us than Shenmue, right? Well here's our last podcast of 2014 and it's all about Shenmue and Christmas, in a roundabout sort of way. We hope you've enjoyed the podcasts so far and we have plenty planned for the future. Thank you for listening and sharing, we love you all.

It's our spooooky Hallowe'en special and we have at least three terrifying features. Maybe two at a push. Anyway, we have the return of Is it Canon?, a new feature from Joe and a mishap that turned into something we hope will actually be funny.
