Gamescom special! Chris, Tom S and Graham cozy up in a German hotel room to discuss their experiences at the worlds largest, loudest, sweatiest celebration of free t-shirts and also videogames sometimes.

Discussed: the maths-based magic of No Man’s Sky, procedural Death Star runs in Galak-Z, stepping out of your own body in Elite: Dangerous, the joys of LEGO Batman 3, and further encounters with acid-blooded space Columbo in Alien: Isolation. Then, Tom turns into a big rock monster and tries to kill everybody.

You can email us at questions@crateandcrowbar.com (puns optional) or follow us on Twitter at @crateandcrowbar. If you’d like to tweet us individually, here’s Tom Senior, Chris, and Graham.

Our intro music is by The Mandibles from their track Clambake. Many of the band members now tour as Count Bobo And The Bullion.
