Monster Train 2 Demo, Marvel Snap, Urine Batteries & Tooth-in-Eye Surgery

I'm reading the title of this episode and just reflecting on the madness of this show that we make.

This episode of Game For Anything, Rad proves that a free demo can subsist your gaming needs by sinking 10 hours into the Monster Train 2 demo (now it's more like 20 hours). Plus, Paul gives us another update on Marvel Snap, and discovers new nightmares he never knew existed as Rad tells him about "tooth-in-eye surgery". That's right, a sight-restoring surgery that literally replaces an eyeball with a tooth.

Also, we announce the winner of our Logitech giveaway, and discuss all the different ways that urine can make batteries. I promise we're not taking the piss. Also, Paul had drunk his pee before. Ayiyiyi.

Marvel Rivals layoffs, Livestreamed Memecoin Suicide, Kmart Rice Cooker

In an episode covering the full gamut of human emotions, Paul fills us in on the well-publicised layoffs of the Marvel Rivals team in Seattle. But is it a matter of rampant capitalism gutting studios, or is Marvel Rivals' Chinese developer - NetEase - just keeping jobs more local? Plus, heartbreaking news has surfaced of a crypto trader who appears to have ended his own life by playing Russian roulette live streamed on X/Twitter. Disturbingly, memecoins named after him were then tokenised. And, to leave things on a more lighthearted note, Rad shares the joys of her new Polly Pocket sized Kmart rice cooker. Because $15 can buy happiness.

Switch 2 Patents, Samsung Freestyle & Music Frame, and a UFC gamer chokehold

Chokehold? More like troll-hold! We tell tale of UFC fighter Brian Ortega who flew across the country to choke out an online troll, because that's what planes and years of professional martial arts is for. Rad succumbs to the siren song of TV in bed - cinema style - with the Samsung Freestyle projector and Music Frame. Plus, Paul snuffles into the patent office like a truffle pig for a little conjecture on Nintendo's Switch 2, and we give you a quick update on generative AI model DeepSeek's back end.

Nintendo Switch 2, Samsung S25 & DeepSeek

The Switch 2 is coming! But it seems like Nintendo aren't switching it up this time, and Paul is maybe a little disappointed. Rad tries to perk him up with some news from Samsung's new S25 series launch - including an AI generated version of the cover art and a Crocs phone case - and they talk about the new Chinese-made ChatGPT competitor: DeepSeek R1.

Deepfake Lawsuit, Crypto-Banana, ReMarkable, EVERBOOM

Paul tries on a new suit. A new LAW suit, that is! Specifically, he discusses a new deepfake lawsuit fiasco, before chatting about the Crypto mogul who bought a six million dollar piece of art. Then, Rad puts pen to paper (sort of) with ReMarkable, which is, to be frank, kind of remarkable. Plus: EVERBOOM!

The Russo Brothers Riot, ECOVACS T30 OMNI

Did Riot ditch the Russo Brothers because their League of Legends script was MC-EW? Also, the You've Got Mail guy has died, prompting a delve into voice actors past. Also, Rad reckons the ECOVACS T30 OMNI doesn't suck - which seems like a design flaw, honestly.

RetroRealms Review, Life360, LG Tone T90S

Paul enjoys jumping from platform to platform as he does jumping topic to topic, which makes his review of RetroRealms new 16 bit multiversal horror platformer (featuring Ash Vs. The Evil Dead and Halloween) a tad ironic. And Rad has more stuff she tested whilst on holiday: Life360's new Tiles, and their super helpful app, which can call you an ambulance, unless you don't want to impose on anyone. Finally, the LG Tone t90's trigger a really gross talk about ear wax.

Silent Hill 2 Review, Fire TV Stick, July Bags

Silent Hill 2 is creepy as hell, so naturally, Paul ran into Team Bloober's superb new remake headfirst without any consideration for his personal safety. Rad, meanwhile, has returned from overseas, and she comes bearing the gift of fire! More specifically, Amazon's new Fire TV Stick, which she used for xbox cloud gaming. Also, she discusses the merits of July luggage.
