On this week’s TMA, Mat has been playing all things Yakuza (again)! Starting with some more of the Yakuza 6 Demo, before he got his greasy mitts on Hotoku Ga Gotoku and played that to death! Other than Ni No Kuni 2, (spoiler warning in the podcast!), Tom gets down to some Tekken 7 and embraced his life as a ‘casual gamer’ by buying a Kinect!
TMA 189 – You had me at ‘Akuma’
On yet another TMA, the boys get down to what you’ve all been waiting for, Yakuza 6 Demo talk! We go a little further by recommending our favourite Beat Takeshi movies, Tom trying to remember the plot based off of Mat’s endless rambling about the series and a lot more besides! Tom’s also found himself in the loving arms of The Witcher 3, Tomb Raider and Assault Gunners HD. Mat on the other hand has yet again been cheating the ‘no new games’ rule, as well as playing the Kirby Star Allies demo! It’s a lot to get on with, so let’s get on with it!
TMA 188 – Story Time With Tom And Mat!
On this week’s TMA, the boy’s talk in depth about story! Mat is tired with Triple A experiences and has brought along an essay to support his claim. Tom spoils the new Tomb Raider (and rates it a 6…) and the boys discuss the art of FMV games after Mat got stuck into Late Shift. Temperamental PAL SNES’s aside, it’s all about that narrative!
TMA 187 – Time to get Direct!
On yet another TMA, the boys dive straight into the recent Nintendo direct as alas, Mat has played 0 games this week! He’s not bought any either! Besides this shocking revelation, Tom’s been picking up a new SNES to enable his dirty Tetris Attack addiction, as well as playing some Tank!Tank!Tank! on the Wii U. Remember that thing? You know, the console all the Switch games came from…
TMA 186 – CEXy Packaging
On this week’s TMA, Mat has been battling the flu and the urge to stop playing HAL Lab’s excellent new Part Time UFO. Tom on the other hand has been playing a little of Dragon Age 2, Kirby Star Allies and missing free copies of Yakuza 6. Besides that, the boys get on their soap boxes about photocopied covers and ‘GOTY’ editions (well, in this case ‘Arcade Editions’). It’s a funny old world!
TMA 185 – Update City
Tom’s been given a platform! He chooses to use it as place to voice his grievances not with global political issues, but naturally, the state of the current generation of consoles. Besides this long debate (and unfortunately un-editable background cat noises), Mat’s been on Monster Hunter World again, picking up some PS1 games and getting a first class ticket to Update City!
TMA 184 – Bill Murray’s Golf Extravaganza
After a week away, the boys are back to tempt your ears with another episode of Boyographic! Apart from the usual bought and played games, the boys discuss life, the Duke Nukem movie as well as celebrity sport titles. Standard!
TMA 183 – The Lost Episode
A TMA we recorded a few weeks back before we’d worked out the technical kinks! A little hard to listen to, but bear with us! Tom and Mat catch up, talk video games and all the good stuff you’f expect of such a reunion!
TMA 182 – Tom And Mat Repack
There’s sadness in the shack this week. Sure, we talk about games, but it’s the last time for a while Tom Parry will sit opposite Mat Boyle at a table. It’s been 5 years of weekly podcasts but now it’s time for Tom to head on home to the UK. He will be missed and the podcast will lumber on. Until we figure out how to set up Skype for podcasting purposes though, let’s just take a moment to appreciate the man, the myth, the legend…
TMA 181 – Energy Drink Experimentation
It’s said that all good podcasts must at some point dabble with drinking exotic beverages on air. This is that time for Tom and Mat Attack. Between sips of Thai Red Bull, here Mat talk about Tobu Tobu Girl, Pyre and Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, while Tom retells tails on Sonic, both Forces and Mania, as well as what he’s been buying and playing besides that!
TMA 180 – Xbox S X Tricky
Cor! The boys have many things to talk about on this, the 180th episode of TMA cast! Apart from Mat Finally starting Night in the Woods, Tom’s been getting into Sonic Forces… But that’s not where the fun ends. The boys are getting into the weeds on real issues. Upgrade Consoles – Yay or Nay? Net Neutrality – No Thank You. Sonic Forces vs. Sonic Mania…? Well, that would be telling now, wouldn’t it…
Listen here.
TMA 179 – Juicy Gaming Gossip!
The hottest news! The most sensation gossip! Who has been seeing who, what, where and how will all not be answered, in this very special, completely regular Tom and Mat Attack. The boy’s discuss the usual ‘buying and playings’, while taking a little time to reflect on whether it’s better to play an original game or their HD counterparts!
Listen here.
TMA 178 – Our Favourite Game…
Illness is a funny thing. It can make a man question to it’s core not only how great a single game is in itself, but further more games in general. Join the sick mind of Mat Boyle as he talks Wolfenstein 2, Super Mario Odyssey and Mario _ Rabbids Kingdom Battle, while the healthy and vibrant Tom Parry also chucks in his two cents on single player experiences, particularly in fighting games and confesses to the most heinous of acts: He’s finally caved and bought a Switch!
Listen here.
TMA 177 – So Nier, Yet So Far…
It’s another pre-gap week podcast so the boys talk Halloween with talk of scary games, Star Wars and a load more besides. Mat finally beat Nier Automata and is still coming to terms with it, while Tom’s been indulging in the current PS4 sale and buying Power Ranger Fighting Games…

TMA 176 – The Dark Side of 3D Podcasting
The boys messed up a recording, so this is officially a do-over! Listen to Tom and Mat quote each other as they tell you tales of Mat’s Trip to a flea market and the wonders he found there in. Tom’s been playing Hell Blade, Mat almost Beat Nier:Automata and a few surprises aside! We look at the upcoming releases for the month of October, talk in length about our piles of shame and as always, have a good old natter!

TMA 175 – Debbie Parry
On yet another TMA, the boys discuss all the games! By all the games, we mean Cuphead, Nier:Automata, Battlefront II and many more! Tom’s been buying all the puzzle games, Mat can’t remember the covers of video games he owns and how podcasts need a visual component…

TMA 172 – Nostalgic, Innit?
On another TMA, Mat Talks Yakuza! But not just any Yakuza, it’s time for 0! Tom’s also played it, so there’s discussion to be had! Other than that, Mat’s been into some Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, while Tom’s been playing a literal smorgasbord of Multiplayer delights!
Listen here.
TMA 171 – Philosophical Sonic
On this week’s TMA, Mat’s back to talking about Yakuza 5, while Tom’s soldiered on with Sonic Mania. The boys recount their purchases, as well as looking over the news, wanting that Secret of Mana update and more importantly, getting deeply reflective with a blue Japanese hedgehog…
