The Waypoint UK Podcast

The VICE Gaming Podcast is no more. Since we moved over to our own website proper, the one you’re looking at now, we thought we’d best rename what we’re doing over here. So here we are: the debut Waypoint UK Podcast. Makes sense, right?   This episode of the UK podcast—a monthly affair for the time being, although we’d love to make it more regular if you guys want it more often—focuses on the newly released Football Manager 2017, the latest entry in the hugely successful boss sim franchise from London-based Sports Interactive.   On the podcast this month, beside Waypoint senior editor Mike Diver, is Grant Appleyard, senior producer on Football Manager 2017 and a Sports Interactive veteran having joined the studio in 2001. Also joining us is VICE Sports UK editor Jim Weeks. We talk about our own Football Manager memories, the game’s amazing depth, and just how recent political events—Brexit, the election of Trump—could be simulated in this and future...  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

VICE Gaming's UK editor Mike Diver is joined by Steve Burns, deputy editor at Videogamer.com, and VICE's own Joel Golby to talk about PES vs FIFA and all things virtual kicking, No Man's Sky and whether or not we're quite ready for it - we recorded this just before it came out - and also if we're into the Amazon-thrashing Nintendo Classic Mini. (We are, a bit.) Expect some swearing because sometimes grown men do that sort of thing (sorry).  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
