      <title>O Captain! My Captain Price: What We've Learned from Gaming</title>
      <description>Take out your textbooks and turn to Button Boys. It's officially the Winnie-the-Pooh episode (because of the bingo call, not because the Boys have no clothes on from the waist down).

This week, it's time for a spot of revision as Glenn, Pierre and Sarah look back at what they've learned from video games. From the Byzantines to sashimi, the Boys discover that their countless hours of gaming haven't all been for nothing.

But before that, we catch up on what they've been playing. Pierre's come to the end of an epic journey, Sarah's been sharing their horrifying experiences and Glenn's come to grips with the state of humanity in a post-apocalyptic world.



To follow along with the Button Boys outside the podcast:

Pierre - ⁠You Sit There, I'll Stand Here⁠

⁠Sarah's New York show



If you can't get enough Button Boys content, head over to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where you can find our weekly Hidden Cache bonus episode featuring more gripes, game recommendations and our Hitman: World of Assassination playthrough, and Player 4, where we interview a different comedian every month about their gaming lives.

Follow along with the Button Boys on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for highlights, behind-the-scenes content and future podcast announcements.

      <title>The Great Game Pitch-Off</title>
      <description>Say bye-bye April and hi-hi to this week's episode of Button Boys, not to be confused with the global smash-hit podcast Bunting Boys, who claim to "put the bants in bunts".

Back from the far reaches of the globe the Boys have been set the task of pitching their dream games. Each host takes it in turns to talk you through their vision and win your hearts. Head over to Discord to vote on what you think could be the Button Boys' first billion-dollar franchise.

But before they go all Jordan Belfort on you, the Boys catch up on what they've been playing over the last few weeks. Sarah's found themself straddling the old and new, Pierre's got his hands on an early access code for one of his favourite franchises and Glenn's been hanging out with an underage android. Press play to find out why that's not problematic.

      <title>Unfinished Business: Browsing the Backlog</title>
      <description>Fling wide your windows and turn your stereos up to ten because it's a brand-spanking-new episode of Button Boys and everyone needs to know about it.

We live in the busiest era in human history*, constantly distracted by work, love life, eating, sleeping and breathing with no time for what matters: gaming. Steam sales, recommendations, gifts and impulse purchases have left us with an intimidatingly large pile of games that get buried over time.

This week, Sarah, Pierre and Glenn are tasked with painstakingly excavating this hoard like a crack team of archaeologists to reveal whether it's a Sutton Hoo or Sutton Poo they've been sitting on all these years.

But first, the Boys catch up on what they've been playing this week as Sarah's been scared sick, Glenn's cringing through an old classic and Pierre's struggling to get a word in edgeways.

Pierre - ⁠You Sit There, I'll Stand Here⁠

Glenn - ⁠Please Sir, Glenn I Have Some Moore

Glenn and Producer Ben - ⁠The Audience VS⁠

      <description>It's another episode of Button Boys, kicking down your door, fist-pumping, screaming "woo" in your face and celebrating its own release.

From saving the planet to skin-of the-teeth boss battles, we'll be discussing those unforgettable moments that only other gamers can really understand.

But not before a check-in on what the Boys have been playing. Sarah's plodding along, Glenn's trying to extract himself from a potential flop and Pierre's left unimpressed by a medieval facsimile.

      <title>Yes Please Moments: Volume 2</title>
      <description>It's Button Boy time, gather round. This week the Boys are returning to their favourite topic, not poo, but "yes please" moments: satisfying game design, thoughtful additions and quirky bonuses that just do it for you. From ladders to levelling up, the Boys, with the help of your contributions, shine a light on gaming moments that rarely get the praise they deserve.

Pierre's been all alone with his thoughts this week as he struggles to find time to game on the road, Sarah's been tricked again in the bargain basement and Glenn's left entertained but unspooked by his latest horror foray.

To follow along with the Button Boys outside the podcast:

Pierre - ⁠You Sit There, I’ll Stand Here⁠

Glenn - ⁠Please Sir, Glenn I Have Some Moore

Glenn and Producer Ben - ⁠The Audience VS⁠

⁠Sarah's Melbourne Show⁠

This week the Boys are returning to their favourite topic, not poo, but "yes please" moments: satisfying game design, thoughtful additions and quirky bonuses that just do it for you. From ladders to levelling up, the Boys, with the help of your contributions, shine a light on gaming moments that rarely get the praise they deserve.

Pierre's been all alone with his thoughts this week as he struggles to find time to game on the road, Sarah's been tricked again in the bargain basement and Glenn's left entertained but unspooked by his latest horror foray.

To follow along with the Button Boys outside the podcast:

Pierre - ⁠You Sit There, I’ll Stand Here⁠

Glenn - ⁠Please Sir, Glenn I Have Some Moore

Glenn and Producer Ben - ⁠The Audience VS⁠

⁠Sarah's Melbourne Show⁠

      <description>It's canapé and sparkling wine time here at La Gallerie Bouton, as we unveil our latest episode to audible gasps.

To follow along with the Button Boys outside the podcast:

Pierre - ⁠You Sit There, I’ll Stand Here⁠

Glenn - ⁠Please Sir, Glenn I Have Some Moore

Glenn and Producer Ben - ⁠The Audience VS⁠

      <title>Invite to Party: Group Gaming</title>
      <description>From house parties to hen dos, weddings to wakes, there's never an inappropriate time for gaming, but good lord how the experience differs. This week the Boys are coiffing their hair and drenching themselves in perfume because... it's party time.

If you've embarrassed yourself in front of your friends, shouted at your grandma for being a complete noob or felt like a god clacking away at a plastic peripheral to the mellifluous tones of AC/DC, then you'll feel right at home. Glenn relays a traumatic experience, Sarah stretches their vocal cords and Pierre shares a potential sleeper hit from back in 2009.

But before that, we catch up on the week's gaming. Sarah's started an absolute classic, Pierre's frustrated with some mech-anics and Glenn's creeping everyone out with his freakish little obsession.

We should also say a big thank you to Oscar this week for our absolutely banging theme tune. It's already spreading through the seediest clubs of London town.

To follow along with the Button Boys outside the podcast:

Pierre - ⁠You Sit There, I’ll Stand Here⁠

Glenn - ⁠Please Sir, Glenn I Have Some Moore

Glenn and Producer Ben - ⁠The Audience VS⁠

⁠Sarah's Melbourne Show⁠

      <title>Press to Unpause: Getting Back into Gaming</title>
      <description>If my eyes don't deceive me, I do declare it's another episode of the slowest-starting true crime podcast ever released. What's the crime? Keep listening for the reveal.

In the meantime though, the Boys have been playing with themselves. Pierre's finally made a galactic breakthrough, Glenn's got hold of a very recent release and is discovering his undying love for it and Sarah's overcome the gloom in the most rad way possible (gnarly).

Do you find sometimes it all gets a bit much? Life coming at you fast, nowhere to turn, nowhere to hide? You find yourself putting down the controller, stepping back from the keyboard and mouse and just... stopping.  Well, this episode is about those gaming breaks and how you find your way back in. From new formats to friends and family, there's always a way to get hooked back on the good stuff.

To follow along with the Button Boys outside the podcast:

Pierre - ⁠You Sit There, I’ll Stand Here⁠

Glenn - ⁠Please Sir, Glenn I Have Some Moore

      <itunes:summary>If my eyes don't deceive me, I do declare it's another episode of the slowest-starting true crime podcast ever released. What's the crime? Keep listening for the reveal.

In the meantime though, the Boys have been playing with themselves. Pierre's finally made a galactic breakthrough, Glenn's got hold of a very recent release and is discovering his undying love for it and Sarah's overcome the gloom in the most rad way possible (gnarly).

Do you find sometimes it all gets a bit much? Life coming at you fast, nowhere to turn, nowhere to hide? You find yourself putting down the controller, stepping back from the keyboard and mouse and just... stopping.  Well, this episode is about those gaming breaks and how you find your way back in. From new formats to friends and family, there's always a way to get hooked back on the good stuff.

      <title>Weak Spots: Games You Suck At</title>
      <description>Stop what you're doing and pay attention, because it's Button Boys time, capeesh?

This week's episode is all about the games we're inexplicably terrible at. Crap at CoD? Feeble at FIFA? Deplorable at Dark Souls? The Boys take a long hard look in the mirror as they confront their, and the audience's, gaming flaws.

But what have the Boys been up to? Pierre's providing the last line of defence for a planet via touch controls, Glenn's been let down by a flat attempt at a series spin-off, and Sarah's found a holiday game that they simply cannot win. All in all a busy week.

      <title>The Sound Effect: The Best and Worst Game Audio</title>
      <description>Banging on your eardrums and vibrating your vestibular nerves, it's this week's episode of Button Boys so listen closely, as the topic is sounds. Sounds good, sounds bad, sounds you'll never forget. There are squelches, pings and rattles aplenty, and for the detectives amongst you, a little quiz at the end.

But first, we catch up on what the gang are up to: Sarah's a little lost in the weeds with Expedition 33, Pierre's experiencing life as a mum through the medium of sci-fi grand strategy and Glenn has never watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Ever. Like, not once.

To follow along with the Button Boys outside the podcast:

      <title>Mobile Ports: Phoning It In</title>
      <description>Take your phone off silent and pump up the volume on those tinny speakers, it's another episode of Button Boys, the only podcast that guarantees you 10,000 crystals within the next three years.

This week the Boys are putting down their controllers and picking up their phones as they discuss the world of mobile gaming, from fat-fingered frustration to seamless, singular experiences. Pierre freshens up but finds himself unwanted, Sarah gets into ritual sacrifice and Glenn plays a game where you can literally blink and you'll miss it.

Elsewhere, Sarah's finally completed the final instalment of the Uncharted series and has some thoughts and Glenn's been clinging on to his pick of the week for dear life. Shame that can't be said about his bannister.

      <title>Valentine’s Special: Eat, Play, Love</title>
      <description>Slipped into your podcast inbox like a letter from a secret lover, it's Button Boys Valentine's Special.

This one's for the lovers, not the fighters, as the Boys tackle the topic of romance in video games. From wet kiss noises and star-jump yippees, to deeply complex paramours, they work out which options melt their hearts and which give them a serious ick.

Elsewhere, Sarah's fallen off the quaint, provincial wagon, Pierre's melted his mind with intergalactic meddling, and Glenn's been playing a game so disgusting it's been banned from multiple platforms. It's a neigh from me.

Pierre - ⁠You Sit There, I’ll Stand Here⁠

Glenn - ⁠Please Sir, Glenn I Have Some Moore

Glenn and Producer Ben - ⁠The Audience VS⁠

⁠Sarah's Melbourne Show⁠

If you can't get enough Button Boys content, head over to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where you can find our weekly Hidden Cache bonus episode featuring more gripes, game recommendations and our Hitman: World of Assassination playthrough, and our brand new Player 4 show where we interview a different comedian every month about their gaming lives.

      <title>The Things In Games You’ve Never Done IRL</title>
      <description>Dumped surreptitiously into your podcast app, it's another episode of Button Boys, the world's only gaming podcast hosted by Glenn Moore, Sarah Keyworth and Pierre Novellie.

This week the Boys are on the hunt for game mechanics and tropes that feel completely normal in games, but they've never actually done themselves, questioning the very fabric of the digital worlds we all inhabit.

In slightly less of an existential manner, Glenn's been dwelling in a dank cathedral basement this week, frantically inputting numbers; Sarah's tried out a game they so nearly picked as a ‘one to watch’; and Pierre's signed up for planetary defence, perhaps at the cost of his own sanity.

Any game developers out there should listen closely, too, as Pierre pitches what may be the first $10m-grossing Button Boys game. We're open for business...

If you can't get enough Button Boys content, head over to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where you can find our weekly Hidden Cache bonus episode featuring more gripes, game recommendations and our Hitman: World of Assassination playthrough, and our brand new Player 4 show where we interview a different comedian every month about their gaming lives.

      <title>Cheats and Cheeses: Are They Ever Justified?</title>
      <description>Back once again by semi-popular demand, it's Button Boys, one of the top alliterative gaming shows of 2026. This week it's all about cheats and cheeses. Ever been stuck on a level and typed in a quick console command? Taken advantage of a game glitch to take out a hard boss? Ever felt bad, even once? In this episode, the Boys discuss the ins and outs of cheating and cheesing their way through games, work out whether it can ever be justified and hark back to the good old days of cheat codes.

We also catch up with the gang's latest gaming fancies, with Glenn stuck in culinary purgatory, Pierre turning his troops into popsicles and Sarah getting physical this week as they step away from the screen.

If you're interested in what the Boys are up to, below are some links to find out more:

Pierre - You Sit There, I’ll Stand Here

Glenn - Please Sir, Glenn I Have Some Moore

Glenn and Producer Ben - The Audience VS

Sarah's Melbourne Show

      <title>The Prediction Game: 2026 Edition</title>
      <description>Welcome back and Happy New Year to all the Buttons out there. The Boys are back with a vengeance after their Christmas break. And what better way to kick things off than by looking back at how their Metacritic predictions  went last year and looking ahead to pick their three most anticipated games (and backup) of 2026. From massive movie franchise tie-ins to indie arm-based adventures, we've got you covered.

But before that, of course, we start with what the Boys have been playing over the festive season. Sarah eats humble bum with an apology, Pierre attempts to teach his nephews automotive physics and Glenn self-inflicts stress during the most relaxed time of the year.

      <title>Hidden Cache - The Butties Afterparty</title>
      <description>As we're away this week we'd thought we'd put out a normally Patreon-exclusive episode of Hidden Cache. We'll be back next week with brand-new, box-fresh content.

After the excessive blowout of the main awards show, it’s time for the Boys to kick back and relax in a Patreon-exclusive VIP area of the Hidden Cache nightclub.

If you thought the awards were done, think again, as Pierre, Sarah and Glenn keep dishing them out left, right and centre. Sarah reveals their true feelings about Split Fiction, Glenn fesses up to his addiction and Pierre tries to get to the bottom of Glenn’s RNG aflussy.

And that’s not it: the results are in from our Stud Farm substitute playthrough poll, so make sure to tune in to find out which game the Boys will be taking on next!y

Remember, the conversation continues over on our Discord! You can find the video of each week's main podcast on ⁠YouTube⁠.

Follow along with the Button Boys on ⁠Instagram⁠ or ⁠TikTok⁠ for highlights, behind-the-scenes and future podcast announcements.

If you have any suggestions of topics to cover please let us know either here on Patreon, via our social media above or by emailing buttonboyspod@gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you!

      <title>Resurrect, Reboot and Remaster: The Series Crying Out for a Revival</title>
      <description>We gather here today to pay respect to the game series of yore, that thrilled, entertained and moved us, and to shout at the top of our lungs, "I WANT MORE."

That's right, Button Boys is back, and this week it's all about the series we want to see return, from cult-classic cartoons to mega movie tie-ins, the Boys lament the games that never were.

And that's unsurprisingly not all! Sarah's dredging up old recommendations, Pierre's reached a stage of acceptance and Glenn's been left bitterly disappointed with an old friend in their weekly gaming recap.

If you can't get enough Button Boys content, head over to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where you can find our weekly Hidden Cache bonus episode featuring more gripes, game recommendations and soon a Pippa Funnell Playthrough.

Follow along with the Button Boys on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for highlights, behind-the-scenes content and future podcast announcements.

        <![CDATA[<p>We gather here today to pay respect to the game series of yore, that thrilled, entertained and moved us, and to shout at the top of our lungs, "I WANT MORE."</p>
<p>That's right, Button Boys is back, and this week it's all about the series we want to see return, from cult-classic cartoons to mega movie tie-ins, the Boys lament the games that never were.</p>
<p>And that's unsurprisingly not all! Sarah's dredging up old recommendations, Pierre's reached a stage of acceptance and Glenn's been left bitterly disappointed with an old friend in their weekly gaming recap.</p>

      <title>Virtually in Love: Our Biggest Gaming Crushes</title>
      <description>It's time to get all hot under the collar, red in the face, heart a-fluttering and delve into the sauciest episode of Button Boys to date. This week it's all about the video game characters the Boys crush hardest for. From Pokémon to The Sims to a giant alien turtle, the content of this episode would leave Freud foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog.

Speaking of the psychology, Pierre's been locked into the heads of battle-hardened veterans this week as he's struggled his way through the latest Call of Duty offering; Glenn's been doing his best for the Japanese mascot industry; and Sarah's stumbled across a game that couldn't be more out of their comfort zone.

And we get our first letter to the show from none other than Simon Podcast with a genuinely fascinating fact from way back in 2011.

Apologies this week to our video audience, as we're having quite major technical difficulties with Pierre's camera. We hope the fix is not too distracting...

If you can't get enough Button Boys content, head over to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where you can find our weekly Hidden Cache bonus episode featuring more gripes, game recommendations and the Button Boys Dark Souls playthrough.

Follow along with the Button Boys on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for highlights, behind-the-scenes content and future podcast announcements.

      <title>Gateway Games: How to Wololo</title>
      <description>After revealing their deepest gaming insecurities last week, the Boys are back and they're here to convert. This week they'll be discussing the games they use to get the uninitiated through the door, and what not to do when it comes to recruiting non-gamers.

But before they get into it, the Boys have been busy playing new games this week with Sarah stuck in the brain of a teenager, Glenn caught in a loop and Pierre lost in a Lovecraftian world, there's a lot to dissect.

Download, press play and leave any cousin energy at the door.

      <title>Game Shame: How it Feels and What to Do About It</title>
      <description>Come one, come all to the latest Button Boy offering. This week the Boys are opening up about a deeply personal feeling: game shame. Ever had your flatmate, partner or work colleague stumble in on you in the throes of defeating a boss and just felt plain silly? Well, don't worry, you're amongst friends here. They discuss how it hits and what to do about it.

Elsewhere, Pierre's gone back to emulate his childhood, romping around Macro World, Glenn's playing a literal smash hit and Sarah's up to no good in a wholly grocery-based environment.

And just when you thought you were done, Glenn has a real déjà-vu gripe to hit you with.

If you liked the sound of The Audience Versus mentioned by Glenn in the episode, please go to The Pleasance Theatre website and book your tickets!

If you can't get enough Button Boys content, head over to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where you can find our weekly Hidden Cache bonus episode featuring more gripes, game recommendations and the Button Boys Dark Souls playthrough.

Follow along with the Button Boys on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for highlights, behind-the-scenes content and future podcast announcements.

      <description>This week, the Button Boys are tearing up the rulebook and heading off-road in our first-ever non-themed episode. They can say and do whatever the heck they want and there's nothing you or I, their producer, can do about it.

Sarah gets a Greek blast from the past, Pierre's happy the kids have gone and Glenn's been playing a contender for his game of the year before the lot of them tackle VR, COVID, The Traitors and hotel Wi-Fi in what some people are describing as one of the most 'urgent' and 'pressing' podcast episodes of the year.

For those who fear this topical lawlessness don't worry, Glenn's still got a slippery gripe for you right at the end.

If you can't get enough Button Boys content, head over to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where you can find our weekly Hidden Cache bonus episode featuring more gripes, game recommendations and the Button Boys Dark Souls playthrough.

Follow along with the Button Boys on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for highlights, behind-the-scenes content and future podcast announcements.

      <description>Listening instructions:


  Dim the lights

  Make yourself a cup of tea

  Slip into some PJs 

  Press play on this week's cosy episode of Button Boys.


That's right, it's all things comfortable as the Boys discuss the games they turn to when they want to feel snug as proverbial bugs. From age-old favourites to weather-beaten inns, there's something for everyone.

Elsewhere, Sarah's recommendation gets its satisfying hooks into Pierre, who finds himself wanting more and more, while Sarah has moved on to an equally relaxing and beautiful game. Meanwhile Glenn's been playing cartoons and has suffered perhaps the most humiliating gaming moment of his life.

      <title>The Biggest Spooks: A Halloween Special</title>
      <description>They're spooky and they're kooky, they're all obsessed with booty, video games and poopy, the Button (boy) Family... It's a Halloween special this week as the Boys discuss the scariest games they've ever played, from the unsettling to the outright terrifying.

Sarah's been finding ways to unwind and then wind right back up this week with their game choices, Pierre's frustrated by nonsensical lore and Glenn's discovered what can only be described as, "gamer's crack".

And as if you weren't scared enough already, Glenn reveals his pathological ability to not get scared and the only game that really got to him.

      <title>Unforgettable Sequences</title>
      <description>Buckle up your buckles, it's another episode of Button Boys. This week the Boys discuss those jaw-dropping gaming moments that never leave you, for better or worse. From big bummed Bandicoots to the frozen tundra, we relive some of video games' best and most shocking sequences.

The adrenaline rush doesn't stop there as Pierre decapitates his enemies in his first Game Pass game, Sarah comes face to face with a real-life game developer and Glenn... well Glenn struggles to put one foot in front of the other.

This week also sees the big reveal, the moment you've all be waiting for. Which of the three candidates; Loch Ness, Pippa Funnel: The Stud Farm Inheritance and Hell Let Loose, has won our listener poll to be played next on Hidden Cache.

And if the episode weren't action packed enough we've managed to find time to squeeze in a little gripe and let's just say, Glenn's feeling a little less than sympathetic.

If you can't get enough Button Boys content, head over to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where you can find our weekly Hidden Cache bonus episode featuring more gripes, game recommendations and the Button Boys Dark Souls playthrough.

      <title>Now That's What I Call Button Boys Bangers!</title>
      <description>Tune in and drop out to this week's celebration of gaming's greatest soundtracks. The music that seeps into your subconscious, the sweeping scores, the minimalist themes and the hardcore thrash metal that accompany some of our favourite in-game experiences.

Before the Button Boys wax lyrical about that, Sarah has a tale of woe and misfortune to tell, Pierre's thinking about throwing in the towel and Glenn is getting (far too) excited about the first game on his new Switch 2.

And finally, Glenn gets gripey about Mother Nature. Looks like he really doesn't care for the environment.

If you can't get enough Button Boys content, head over to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where you can find our weekly Hidden Cache bonus episode featuring more gripes, game recommendations and the Button Boys Dark Souls playthrough.

Follow along with the Button Boys on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for highlights, behind-the-scenes content and future podcast announcements.

      <title>Greatest Gaming Hubs: You Don’t Need Plumbing to Have a Toilet</title>
      <description>This week the Boys are holed up in their favourite gaming hubs. From safe rooms to menu screens and everything in between, they'll be restocking their supplies, chatting with NPCs and working out where they can sell their unsettling quantities of unregistered firearms.

Elsewhere, Sarah's got an apology to make about a previous episode, Pierre's been travelling back to the earliest access of them all, the birth of civilisation, and Glenn has an update on their Metacritic Prediction Game.

And then there's Pierre's reality-based gripe that I'm sure will light up the depths of our Discord channels.

      <title>Introduction to Gaming: The Early Years</title>
      <description>Another week passes, another deluxe episode of Button Boys landing on your doormat. Tear the cardboard box open, peel the cellophane wrapper off and pop it into your console of choice (ears).

This week the Boys reach deep into the crannies of their minds as they take a look back to their gaming origins. A time before controller mastery, when games were unfathomably hard and indescribably exciting.

We also catch up with what everyone's been playing from Glenn's Sicilian getaway to Pierre's housebound adventures.

It's not all sweetness and smiles here at Button Boy HQ though as the three of them get down and gripey with Glenn finding that it's often too little, too late.

      <title>Boarding the Hype Train: The Highs and Lows</title>
      <description>This week's episode is all about the hype so set your expectations astronomically high and strap in. We've all felt it; the excitement coursing through our gaming veins, the buzz barely containable and then... the game comes out. Sarah, Pierre and Glenn are here to console you, to pick up the pieces and let you know you're not alone. Whether the game met those lofty hopes or whether it all came crashing down around you, they know the feeling.

The Boys will also be chatting about the games they've played this week. Pierre's getting lost in every sense of the word in Blue Prince, Sarah's getting lost in one specific sense in Zelda and Glenn's losing his mind over one of the most anticipated games of the year.

If you can't get enough Button Boys content, head over to ⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠ where you can find our weekly Hidden Cache bonus episode, featuring more gripes, game recommendations and the Button Boys Dark Souls playthrough.

      <title>Self-Imposed Rules: Love is a Mistake</title>
      <description>Another week, another jam-packed episode of Button Boys for you and boy have we packed some jam in for you. This time it's all about the arbitrary rules we like to set ourselves, from stalking NPCs to Sims bed etiquette, we share your maddest video game self-restrictions.

Meanwhile, Sarah's been on the hunt for a seemingly mythical game about a seemingly mythical Scottish monster, Pierre shares his fears about bouncing enemies and Glenn's finding it hard to shake the latest game he's been playing.

And to finish it all off, the gripe this week has all of the Button Boys yelling at their TV 'I Know!', but do they? Tune in to find out.
