It’s 6.15pm, in the studio and we’re all set up, missing one
guest. Ste makes the call. Hey Ellie Gibson of Eurogamer Dot Net! Where are
you? “Hey Ste! I’m in Soho!” Are you still on
for the show tonight? “Yes, totally. It’s an 8pm start isn’t it?” Uh oh. No,
Ellie, you’ve got 45 minutes. Pause. “It’s OK, I’ll be there!”
So begins Ellie’s sprint across town which, just like Ste’s
in episode #81, is perfectly timed and finishes with ten seconds remaining the show’s
30-second theme tune. That’s why we’re a bit giggly at the start of the very
festive #87 and that’s why her mic doesn’t work. We deal! We absolutely deal. We
would not have been able to deal with that last week.
Oh, last week.
On to this week, and the last episode of this year. It’s the
most feature-packed episode of One Life Left this season with very special
Christmas editions of Free Market Economy, Best Worst Games, and a new,
exclusive doyouinverts Christmas single. There’s also the return of a classic One
Life Left feature that hasn’t appeared for at least a season and some brilliant
Christmas music, including:
SNOBLIND – Receptors
Unironic Christmas Medley – Savestates
Last Christmas (hot digi remix) – Goto80 (a brilliant but
essentially emergency choice that I think we played last year)
We’ll see you next year. Do email us in the meantime and
keep watching the site for Christmas blogs and things. Happy Christmas, Happy
New Year, Happy everything.
Ste, Simon and Ann
