Podcast: Episode 110 – Flashback, Alpha Papa and The Bureau

A little later than usual your weekly look into the minds of Peter, Lewis, Kev and myself has arrived. The highlight this week is the passing of Peter’s embargoes, meaning he can actually talk about Flashback and The Bureau. Here’s a clue as to his opinion: he liked one and was enraged by the other. Guess which one was which, and then listen to see if you got it right.

As well as that I’ve been playing Spec Ops: The Line, courtesy of PlayStation Plus, and Lewis has seen Alpha Papa, the new Alan Partridge film. Lewis and I have also been playing DiscBord, the new game from TSA founder Michael.

Talking of games developed by people we know, Kev has been making progress with his js13kgames challenge to create a JavaScript based game that fits in just 13KB. Hopefully his updates will become a semi-regular feature until he completes the game in mid-September. He’s actually got a playable build now, so things are progressing nicely.

Then of course there’s your weekly news, quiz (in Pointless form this week) and listener questions.

  • Please send us questions via email to podcasts[at]thesixthaxis.com.
  • You can also tag your questions on Twitter with #tsacast and, provided you’re not on a private account, we’ll see them in our search each week. Finally, as usual, there’s a questions thread in the forum.

This podcast features strong language, jokes in poor taste and adult themes, if you’re offended by that then we recommend that you don’t listen to it at all.

  • As usual, you can grab the MP3 file here (right click to download).
  • You might want to get it (when the RSS catches us) on the RSS feed, here.
  • Or we’re on iTunes, when iTunes feels like updating. You can also leave us a review and subscribe there, if you want to be particularly lovely.

  1. Recently started listening to the podcasts and they’re really entertaining. I only listen to 3 podcasts regularly and the TSA podcast is now one of them :-)
    The inclusion of a general knowledge quiz is nice as well… Even though I can rarely think of an answer for the questions asked.
    Keep up the good work!

    • This is one of my favorite podcasts. I often respond to and laugh with with the guys like i’m talking directly to them. I’ve been listening to the podcast since around episode 10 and never once have I stopped doing so out of boredom.

      • Awesome! Well I’m sure I’ll be a long time fan like you someday :P

      • It’s really nice to see such comments guys, I think we’re all often baffled as to why people enjoy hearing us ramble on, but I for one am bloody pleased you do :)

      • yeah, really lovely to see comments like this. Thanks guys :)

    • I’m still surprised people put up with the show, let alone enjoy it! Glad you like it though :)

  2. I’ve got to agree with the previous comments, I really look forward to the podcast every week as it’s so damn entertaining (and I’ve been listening since episode 1). Even if you’re discussing stuff I’m not necessarily interested in, just the fact that it’s a far more casual approach to podcasting makes it a much more enjoyable listen.

    Keep up the good work, it’s very much appreciated.

  3. Long time listener and sporadic question thrower. Forcing my companions to listen to you lot during long road trips. Keep going!

    I buy games and see films based upon what is discussed. I even bought toe-shoes (thanks Teflon)!
