OOOOooooOOO! It's the spookyist Scotch N' Games yet! Not content to simply let the most hallowed of eves pass us by like a couple of drunk nerds, we get down and dirty with some our past favourite scary games like Silent Hill and Resident Evil. Well, mostly Graham. Will is too scared. Later on we get in depth with Alien: Isolation. This episode's scotch, the Glenkinchie, is brought to you by scotch. Scotch! It's good. 

Have you ever wondered if you are doomed to simply repeat the past indefinitely? Well, the distinguished gentlemen of Scotch N' Games return with a classic attempt at remaining coherent through drinking. We re-up on the Tomatin 12 year and jam on our recent Destiny exploits, God of War Ascension and Wasteland 2. Hilarity ensues. 

The distinguished gentlemen of Scotch N' Games get right down with it with our own version of the Pepsi Challenge, this time with scotch! We put our hopefully experienced palettes to the test with four returning champions, Auchentashen, Tomatin, Glenrothes and Glen Garioch and see if we can pinpoint the tasting notes in a blind taste test! Then, after 20 years, a seminal game of great importance gets the Scotch N' Games treatment; and that game is Warcraft 2. Take a trip down memory lane in our very special 21st episode! Work complete! 

With the release of Destiny, the distinguished gentlemen of scotch games dropped everything to play as much of the game as humanly possible in a week. We update our opinions and thinkings on Destiny from our previous episode on the beta. We are accompanied this episode by the Deanston, a 46.5% scotch that'll surely whet your whistle. Enjoy episode 20 folks! 

In a way, podcasts are like time machines. We record in the past and you listen in the present! Trippy. This classic SnG episodes opens with a scotch tasting of a 12 year old Glenfiddich, a quick retrospective on FTL and a review of the desert golfing game, Desert Golfing! Later in the episode, we feature the newly released Super Time Force. And inspired by Super Time Force's epic time travelling gameplay, we then reminisce on other games that feature time travel as a central mechanic! 

The distinguished gentlemen of Scotch N' Games bravely played some bad games and then embued ourselves with some bad scotch in an episode we are bravely calling: Bad. Get ready for some hilarity as we drink the Cutty Sark, a blend that produces some interesting effects on the human body, and talk about some recent poor attempts at interactive software: Ride to Hell Retribution, Air Conflicts: Vietnam and our feature game, Aliens: Colonial Marines - a game that is, at its very best, incomplete. Enjoy! 

The Destiny Beta enchanted both Will and Graham so much they devoted most of the episode 17 to it's deep discussion! Make sure to stay tuned to the end of the show for a interview with Bluish Green Productions, a Toronto game developer with a kickstarter for their upcoming game, "Robo's World: The Zarnok Fortress"! Grab a wee dram and enjoy the episode, folks! 

After beating around the bush for a few episodes, Graham and Will finally sit down for a true Scotch N' Games breakdown of Irrational Games' Bioshock series. We hope Ken Levine listens to this one! We are joined this episode by the Glenrothes, a very light 12 year old single malt that is deceptively tasty. Grab a seat and enjoy our sweet, sweet sixteenth episode. 

Now that the dust is well and settled on E3 2014, Will and Graham dissect the multitude of teaser trailers, tech demos and lofty promises that the convention always delivers - hilarity ensues. Scotch-wise, we re-visit the Aberfeldy 12 year to see if our pallettes have improved from Episode 2. We also jam on the certifiably classic Bioshock and the completely bonkers The Stanley Parable. Pour a wee dram for this one folks, it's a good one! 

Will makes his triumphant return in an episode we're calling 14! Your humbled co-hosts enjoy a dram or two (or three) of Auchentoshan, a 12 year scotch not for the feint of heart. Episode 14 demonstrates what happens when you get two nerds in a room.. they talk about video games! Megaman X, Risk of Rain, Dark Souls, Watch Dogs, Wolfenstein, Bastion, Transistor... this episode is chalk full of it folks. Enjoy! 

Graham is all by himself this week while Will galavants south of the border! Graham welcomes some old friends, family, co-workers and scientists on the show to talk all we really ever want to talk about, scotch and games!

The dozenth episode brings you the Cardhu, a fruity, mild but still rather good 12 year single malt. This episode features the results of our “We don’t want to play that game very much” challenge! Will and Graham then get down to the nitty gritty of modern 2D platformers and, like the warm embrace of a wee dram, revel in the brilliance of Guacamelee, Braid, Super Meat Boy, Cave Story and even more! Hilarity ensues. Music: Melimontant by Latche Swing, Evidence Song by the Good Lawdz.

Scotch N' Games returns with more scotch and games! This episode features a 12 year old Speyside single malt which leads both Will and Graham to make an unexpected scotch-discovery. Game discussion abounds with the newly released expansion for FTL, the mind bending yet super pleasant Monument Valley and an extended discussion on the surprisingly cerebral third person shooter, Spec Ops: The Line. 

In celebration of the release of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, Will and Graham bring you a hilarious breakdown of the history of the MGS series. Before that though, we jam on the Oculus purchase and the Threes/2048 controversy. Featured scotch is Tomatin, a 12 year single malt. Music: A Something Something and Evidence Song, both by: The Good Lawdz.

Will and Graham are joined by Aldis Sipolins, a graduate student focussing on using video games to train the brain to get smarter. Also, the SNG team talk about Will’s TitanFall launch party adventure and laugh about South Park: The Stick of Truth.

Your humble co-hosts take to the streets and drink a scotch flight and check out a Fancy Video Game Party. We then jam on Brothers, Hearthstone and Threes! Will also hoards The Last of Us. 

In this special Valentine’s Day edition of Scotch N’ Games, Will gives Graham a Valentine, Graham rambles about Jazzpunk and we tell people to leave Flappy Bird alone. We also wax poetic about the politics of DLC.

Scotch and games go great together. This episode marries the brilliant game, The Banner Saga with the rather passable McClelland Speyside single malt. Listen as both Will and Graham settle in for a saga of their own in the sixth episode of what iTunes is calling... New and Noteworthy.

This episode is a battle! We drink 3 different Bowmore scotches and break down a Humble Bundle. We also give a shout out to Awesome Games Done Quick and preview a few games we are excited about.

A modern classic, Will and Graham get serious with a bottle of Laphroaig. We talk Will’s newfound FTL obsession and, inspired by Doom’s 20th birthday, breakdown a hilariously simplified version of FPS history through the games that affected us most. Will also calls Newman from Seinfeld Nelson, and Graham invents a new gun in Halo called the BMR.

Making it a charm, Will and Graham relax with a 12 year Glenlivet in the third, yet very special “questions we made up” episode. Graham gets confused about narrative dissonance and forgets to reference Tom Bissel. Will decides to answer every question twice.
