Button Boys

Welcome to our inaugural Ask Button Boys Anything episode, where we take gaming-related questions, and I cannot stress enough, *gaming-related questions* from you, the listener. Questions we won't be answering: What's your recommendation for the best Thai food south of the river? What are your bank details? Fold or scrunch? Does Italy actually exist? To find out the questions we will be answering, alongside what the Boys have been up to over the past week and Taylor Swift's deleted track, press play now!

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. *Citation needed 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 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.

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.

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.

It's canapé and sparkling wine time here at La Gallerie Bouton, as we unveil our latest episode to audible gasps. This week's theme is visual design, from standout box art to beautiful backgrounds: the Boys don their berets, stroke their chins and pick apart what wows them and what leaves them cold. Elsewhere, Pierre's finally cleaned up his neighbourhood, Sarah's set off on an avian stroll and Glenn's getting to grips with his strengths and weaknesses in what may be his favourite game of the year so far.
