Movie Magic or Awful Adaptations: The Best and Worst Movie Tie-Ins
Movie Magic or Awful Adaptations: The Best and Worst Movie Tie-Ins Nov 5, 2026 57:33 This week we're headed to Tinseltown, doll. That's right, the dream factory has come a-knockin' and it's time to talk about the best and worst movie tie-in games. From scantily clad babes performing kung fu moves to top-down tactical thrillers, the Boys dissect the mainly terrible, but sometimes great, film forays into gaming, as well as which films are absolutely ripe for adaptation. But before
Halloween Spooktacula Special
Halloween Spooktacula Special Oct 29, 2026 56:59 It was a dark and stormy night, the wind howled against the rain-speckled windows of Pierre's shed. Inside, three hooded figures gathered around a tea-stained table, pushed aside their podcast microphones and began an unholy chant. Lightning crackled through the brooding sky as, within the walls of the haunted chamber, the spookiest games were summoned forth. That's right, it's Halloween week, an
Terrible Times: Who’s Got it the Worst?
Terrible Times: Who’s Got it the Worst? Oct 21, 2026 59:24 We've all had one of those days: just missing the bus, stepping in a deep puddle, pissing ourselves a little bit. But none of us have had the kinds of days that gaming protagonists routinely face. From severed limbs to shipwrecks, we subject our digital avatars to the worst possible experiences. This week the Boys discuss the absolute worst of it. Crawling through sewers, being flayed alive, catc
Side Quests Vol. 1
Side Quests Vol. 1 Oct 14, 2026 50:25 Much like side streets, side arms, side tables, side dishes and sidemen, can provoke surprisingly strong feelings. This week we're going off the beaten track, ignoring the main objective and tackling the good, the bad and the ugly of secondary storylines. We've got drunken foolery, farting pigs and complete letdowns. But enough about the hosts, on with the podcast! As always, the Boys catch up on
The Eras Tour: Best Historical or Futuristic Setting
The Eras Tour: Best Historical or Futuristic Setting Oct 7, 2026 51:54 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? From early symbolic thought through to space travel across the outer reaches of the universe, gaming covers every era, but which one suits it best? 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 59:46 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 1:04:12 If you missed out on the first ever Button Boys LIVE, don't worry, we remembered to record it! This week, the Boys had to pitch their worst-ever game ideas to an audience at Leicester Square Theatre. After a few minor technical hitches, Sarah came straight out of the gates with an avian-themed game for the gerontophiles among us, Pierre set out his vision for a drone-controlled dating sim and Glen
August Annals: What We've Been Playing
August Annals: What We've Been Playing Sep 16, 2026 55:47 I'll let you into a secret. We've been lying to you all this time. Every week, when you think you're listening to the latest video game content your podcast app of choice has to offer, we've been pulling the wool over your eyes. 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 47:51 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
Getting the Ick: How to Ruin a Game
Getting the Ick: How to Ruin a Game Sep 2, 2026 49:07 Have you ever found yourself enjoying a game and then BAM... you hit an ick? Something so minor but so off-putting that you just have to put the controller down and walk away. This week's episode is all about those moments. The small things that games can do to really ruin your experience. From cringey box blurb and clunky dialogue to lame side quests and lewd camera angles, we've got ick covered
You've Got to Be F***ing Kidding Me
You've Got to Be F***ing Kidding Me Aug 26, 2026 50:25 We've all had those moments. You put down the controller, take a long, measured breath and express your absolute shock/consternation/contempt/awe (delete as applicable) with the phrase, 'You've got to be f***ing kidding me!' 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
