Total Playtime: Anniversary Sausage Mailbag
Total Playtime is a Patreon-supported podcast about videogames, hosted by Alice Bell, Jon Hicks, Brendan Caldwell and Nate Crowley. Jank has partnered with them and we'll be posting new episodes each week.
It has been a whole year of Total Playtime! Plus like six weeks of Text Adventure and one week where we just bailed for scheduling reasons, all of which means that the “one year anniversary” ep arrives around the sixteen-month mark. At no point did we promise to be organised or mathematically sound, and we remain very thankful to our Patreons (and the fine backers of Jank) for funding an entire year-and-a-bit of barely-focused rambling about PC games and things pertaining to them.
With this instalment we finally hit Episode Z and with it, the final inch of runway before we have to come up with a new naming convention for the 27th Patreon episode. If you come back here in two weeks we might have done so; or we'll have just moved on to A1 or Cyrillic characters or something.
To mark this momentous occasion, we opened the sausage mailbag to answer questions from our listeners, on topics including how I would murder all the other hosts, Alice’s Age of Sigmar paintings and our favourite games beginning with Z. Plus: the Alice Bell she tells you not to worry about (turns out this is just Alice Bell), a tiny picture of Phil Mithchell’s face, and the debut of Games Metatron.
You can listen to the episode right here, and it's also available on Patreon and Spotify.
Our music is by God Ribbon, our art is by Marsh Davies, and our editing is by Alix Attenborough. Send us your pet photos at totalplaytimepod@gmail.com or share them in the Discord.

For those who were not there in the Before Times, here is Heroes of the Brinelands. Jonty lost the link he was talking about but here’s one of the creators talking about Z’s move to PC and here’s the opening cinematic. Panera discontinued the lemonade that killed people. Brian David Gilbert read all the Halo books. It does not feel appropriate to put Barry’s photo on the public internet so I have put it on Patreon.
