Draw Attention - Aches & Games

By Jamesyboy78 November 1, 2026

Aches and Games

A relaxed monthly chat between two *slightly older* British friends – talking life, gaming (and basically whatever other nonsense comes to mind).

We’re currently playing on Xbox, PlayStation 5 plus a bit of PC and Nintendo Switch action.

Our regular episodes drop every first Friday of the month.

In this month’s episode:

We hear if the latest Plague Tale game err “resonated” for either of us.

Giles responds to the Call of the Elder Gods with Hannah and goes fast, maybe too fast with Sonic x Shadow Generations; and
James sets up a bowling alley, a classic arcade and a car wash because he loves a good side hustle.

plus:

everything else we’ve been doing and playing – all on October’s Aches & Games.

Cheers!
