S07E07 – On Safari

Archaeon 06/09/2013

Working with animals isn’t an easy job, but when the creatures also play a part in a movie, game, or even animation then the problems faced reach a whole new level. Who can forget classic TV moments like the Blue Peter elephant, numerous news bloopers involving journalists and animals, or […]

S07E02 – ONECon Preview

Archaeon 23/08/2013

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE COMPETITION ANNOUNCED IN THIS EPISODE HAS CLOSED. With the North-East’s newest anime and manga convention looming just around the corner we thought it would be a good idea to get some of the lovely folks from the organising committee in the studio to talk about their […]

S06E24 – Fadsploitation

Archaeon 20/08/2013

When it comes to entertainment media the influence that fads hold is undeniable. They have the power to make or shelve movies, turn mediocre games into cash-cows, and alter the public perception of good and bad – in terms of taste and decency anyway. Join us as we explore the strange […]

Archaeon 06/07/2013

On this week’s episode we decide to explore those strange little realities that are just a little bit off-normal. Join us as we take a journey into a pocket universe (that’s not a euphemism!), where people are strange even when you’re not a stranger. This week’s news wishes it was […]

S06E12 – Parodies & Stereotypes

S06E10 – From The New World

Archaeon 23/05/2013

On this week’s episode we take a look at the idea of exploration in media, decide which TV character would make the best partner on a journey of discovery, and wonder if survival exploration really is a new sub-genre in games. This week’s news went somewhere over the rainbow. The […]

S06E06 – Past Versus Present

Archaeon 08/04/2013

On this slightly nostalgic episode we take a look at the way that media has changed over the last few decades. Join us as we discover what makes something a classic or timeless, whether newer really is better, and find out if everyone really is a collector of something. This […]
