Playing Catch-up

Playing Catch-up is a podcast and Twitch channel dedicated to playing older games as we plough through an ever-increasing pile of shame.

@BalatroGame continues to delight. Many hours in and it’s still revealing nuance as I tweak my approach with different builds and strategies.

Managed my first winning run last night, and that’s only made me hungry for more. Just magnificent stuff! Roll on lunchtime.

[Playing Catch-up @catchuppod]

I'm going live on Twitch right now with Balatro!

Huge thanks to @TheHashtag0nist for the key, which means I get to play a day early ahead of tomorrow's release.

Very, very hyped for this game. Come join us!

@TheHashtag0nist Hey Wout, I made a key request last night - thanks for the opportunity! I don’t have my email address public on my Twitch account, so I just wanted to say that, if selected, I’m happy to verify identity any other suitable way if needed. Thanks again!

[Playing Catch-up @catchuppod]

All sorted! Spotify version is now correct and should also be rolling out to other platforms shortly.

40: Playdate Special #1

We’re back!

We finally get our hands on the @playdate and give our thoughts on the handheld console itself and the first couple of games: Whitewater Wipeout and Casual Birder.

Hmmm. Looks like the last few minutes have been chopped off the upload. What a seamless return!

I’ll look at re-uploading it once I get home. Apologies to anybody who has already downloaded or started listening!

I was lucky enough to interview @mrsambarlow on the podcast just as Her Story came out on 2015, and he was just the most engaging guest.

It’s been great to watch how things have grown from there. Two new games from @HalfMermaid teased on Steam too today. Exciting stuff!

[Playing Catch-up @catchuppod]

Man alive, this looks like a beautiful set. More of this kind of thing, please.

@schillingc This looks absolutely stunning, Chris. Huge congrats and good luck with the campaign!

[Playing Catch-up @catchuppod]

Podcast listeners. It's been a while.

[Playing Catch-up @catchuppod]

@TCGSco Ever so slightly late to the party. But I made it. #mittsc

[Playing Catch-up @catchuppod]

@CaptainToss Brilliant stuff!

[Playing Catch-up @catchuppod]

@CaptainToss Did you see that Joe Pera is doing some UK shows in April / May? You're probably all over this already, but I am limited in who I can share my excitement with. https://t.co/DPs7pGdFLt

[Playing Catch-up @catchuppod]

Maybe everything will be okay after all.

[Netflix Is A Joke @NetflixIsAJoke]

Production for season 3 of I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE with Tim Robinson has officially started!!!! 🎉

[Playing Catch-up @catchuppod]

@MackaRyuu Thank you so much!

[Playing Catch-up @catchuppod]

@currys PS5 copy, please! #CurrysGodofWar

[Playing Catch-up @catchuppod]

@playdate Perfect, thank you! I will do that now.

[Playing Catch-up @catchuppod]

@playdate Hi there. Is it still possible to reset season progress for games delivery? I would like to experience the weekly games at the same time as my friend, who has just had his Playdate delivered. I turned mine on to test it was weeks ago, so have been receiving the games.

[Playing Catch-up @catchuppod]

@SnakeyDavid @CaptainToss Seconded. Dead Eyes is very, very good.
