The Eras Tour: Best Historical or Futuristic Setting
The Eras Tour: Best Historical or Futuristic Setting Oct 7, 2026 3114 This week the Boys try to settle the debate raging across the country: which historical or futuristic period makes the best setting for a game?

Before all that, we check in on Glenn to see how he's dealing with the social media backlash to his Crimson
Non-Fatal Flaws: Bad Bits in Good Games
Non-Fatal Flaws: Bad Bits in Good Games Sep 30, 2026 3586 This week's topic is all about the maggot in the apple, the flaw in the diamond, the suspicious stain on the clean-smelling underwear. That's right, it's the parts of otherwise great games that we hate. Disgusting sound effects, tedious intros, impossible tasks and unfamiliar mechanics have all weaselled their way in to the Boys' all-time favourites. But before that, they catch up on what they've
The Worst Game Pitch-Off
The Worst Game Pitch-Off Sep 23, 2026 3852 If you missed out on the first ever Button Boys LIVE, don't worry, we remembered to record it!

August Annals: What We've Been Playing Sep 16, 2026 3347 I'll let you into a secret. We've been lying to you all this time.

That's right, what you've been hearing is literally weeks old. But don't fear, because The Boys are back and fresh as hell. With a month off between recordings, they've c
First Impressions: Tutorials and Intros that Stick
First Impressions: Tutorials and Intros that Stick Sep 9, 2026 2871 This week we're getting to grips with the age-old tutorial. Whether it's boot camp, prison or simply being born every game takes its time to show you the ropes. The Boys look at the seamless, the absurd and the downright clunky attempts at tutorials. But before that, we catch up with what they've been playing. Pierre's switched off his brain with a psychedelic throwback to impenetrable Japanese g

You've Got to Be F***ing Kidding Me
You've Got to Be F***ing Kidding Me Aug 26, 2026 3025 We've all had those moments.

This week the Boys relive their most jaw-dropping debacles. Whether it's realising they can't complete a game because of a terrible decision, treacherous save points, game-ch

One and Done: Games We’d Never Play Again
One and Done: Games We’d Never Play Again Aug 19, 2026 3071 The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there. And we don't like different. Or too much of the same. And that's why this week's episode is all about the games you play once and have absolutely no appetite to return to. Whether it's outdated mechanics, not wanting to spoil their nostalgia or just because the games were plain terrible, the Boys examine the games they've known and
Food, Glorious Food (and Drink)
Food, Glorious Food (and Drink) Aug 12, 2026 3070 Pop on a bib and bring out your best dinnerware, as this week's theme is food and drinks.

From Rags to Rupees: Money in Games Jul 29, 2026 3125 Unzip your wallets and loosen your coin pouches because this episode's all about the most filthy of lucre: money. From septims to souls, in-game currency has been integral to countless RPGs, platformers and Glenn's favourite shopkeeper games. But how do you spend yours? When does it work, and when does money lose all meaning? Why does Glenn like being poor so much? And what's the vendor doing wit
