Welcome to Episode 266 – now featuring blurst of music!

We kick off by discussing the remaster of Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Reminiscing about the original, with Ram admitting he never quite finished the main quest, while Skazz bemoans his vampirism issues, a glitch fixable only through paid DLC. we also discuss the power of console commands and share thoughts on other Bethesda titles.Ram then talks about his new gaming PC.

Although he can’t recall all the specs, and has issue with the overcooling RGB fans. But it at least has an abundance of USB ports. We then take a nostalgic look at The Animals of Farthing Wood. For those in the UK who grew up in the ’90s, this classic prepared us for Game of Thrones, and Skazz does still insists that badgers do not exist.

Ram brings back the great empire of Nicktopia with his current gaming obsession, Stranded: Alien Dawn. In this survival game, he talks about managing a group of survivors on an alien planet. Finding a way to balance farming, researching, base building, tower defense and staring at plants and animal

We also discuss: USB-powered milking machines, the debate over turning off excessive RGB lighting, the merits of weekly episode releases versus binge-watching and a bird-watching detective.
