Arrggh! A Video Game Podcast from The Waffling Taylors
A fun and silly discussion about video games (both retro and contemporary), video game movies, and pretty much anything related to video games. It is hosted by brothers Jay and Squidge (who may or may not be a cartoon wolf), and featuring the best guests around - including some real video game development legends. Whether it's an in-depth discussion about video games, films surrounding video games, or light-hearted nonsense and tangents, this may be the pod for you.

A Note from Jay
Hey all,
I promise that I'll update the website with the show notes for these episodes some day. Life has gotten super hectic recently.
But, on thing has happened: I now have an internet connection! Like, a proper, high-speed one, with a router that has blinky lights on it and everything.
— Jay
Squidge, Alyxa, and Nomad (of the amazing Retro Wildlands) got together to discuss Metal Gear Solid 3. In this episode,...
A Note from Jay
Hey all,
So I now have four episode's worth of full show notes to create and add to the website. It's a good thing that I have a bot which detects all of the games mentioned, huh?
This is the second in a four -part discussion on Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. In order to tackle this game, Squidge drafted both Alyxa the Kitsune and Nomad. By the way, the original recordings for this four-part series have a co...
A Note from Jay
Hey all,
Happy birthday to me... 🥹
So I've now been without an internet connection since the end of 2024... that's three months of tethering to my phone in order to do my day-to-day work, web-browsing, and ... well, that's about it. I haven't had the bandwidth to do any YouTube, Netflix, or gaming.
My issues to one side: this is the first in a four part discussion on Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. In order t...
A Note from Jay
Hey all,
Would you Adam and Eve-it, I still don't have an internet connection (I'm using up my mobile data at a rate of knots at the moment), and life is still... well, life is doing life things right now.
Anyway, this is the second half of the second set of episodes (why didn't I just write "part four"?) on what defined gaming in 2024 for our guests. The ever amazing Squidge continued to emcee this episode, a...
A Note from Jay
Hey all,
So I should explain a few things. Firstly, this episode was supposed to go out in January 2025, but ... well... life happened and I wasn't able to focus on anything but me for a while. Secondly, I've been without an internet connection since before Christmas 2024; as you can imagine, this causes a few issues on the whole "releasing podcast episodes" side of things.
I still don't have an internet conne...

Mo (who was last on the show before summer 2024 talking about Starwdew Valley) had recorded an episode with Mo, but spent almost 25 minutes recording complete tangents before getting to the episode proper. This episode is a collection of those tangents, provided as a piece of behind-the-scenes fun.
