@SKC_Diamond: That's a great idea! We'll ask you lot alongside our reach out for questions - thanks!

@BenTarrant: So where's the Destiny article you had stolen? I would love to read that.

@themcnoisy: Looking into getting it on the site, stop it going to waste.

My vice article explaining what went down regarding it for those that are interested can be read here: http://www.vice.com/en_uk/tag/Ben%20Tarrant

That's already an interesting read, now I'm even more interested in that masterpiece you wrote. Tragic story though, but at least it got you published on Vice. The world is a strange place.

@BenTarrant: Tough lines, Its tough getting a paid gig, in many ways games journalism is the new rock and roll. You are faced with a lot of the same issues bands have faced previously with work being stolen.

I never skyped anyone with ever changing names though, very odd.

Hey hey hey!

We'll be recording a new episode tomorrow and it would be great if you guys could fire us a few questions!

Cheers,
Ben

What are your thoughts on the Pokémon Go phenomenon, and have either of you played it?

What's been your favourite game of 2016 so far, and are there any upcoming games that you predict will be your GOTY?

If you could change your name to a game character what would you be called?

Do you think Sony will ever release a new handheld? Do you think there is still a market for them?

Also, paper or plastic?

New episode is live! Short hiatus inbound due to holidays/moving cities etc.

We'll be back.

Great episode again. Hope you're back soon, it's a great addition to the site.

Oh, and I'm trying to get the Benevolent Leader trophy too. Wish me luck...

EDIT: Yes, I got it!

@Kidfried: HOW?!

TEACH ME!

@BenTarrant: I used a Reddit thread which worked a treat for me:

When you've got all of your settlers, another thing you need to do is save your game and then kill them all. Check they've not got synth parts on their person, because if you have a synth among your settlers, you'll never get the Trophy. Assuming they're all human, reload your save and just wait for happiness to increase.

@get2sammyb: The plot thickens. Thanks Sammy, going to give this a whirl over the weekend - wish me luck!

@BenTarrant I did almost exactly what @get2sammyb did!

• Go to Red Rocket, delete everything there including all supply routes, but leave the workshops (don't build tv's or anything else).
• Dismiss your companion and send it to another settlement.
• Place about 12 mutfruits and 12 purified water in your workshop.
• Setup: 6 settlers (checked for synths), 6 mutfruits, 7 beds, 2 water pumps, 5 clinics.
• Build paintings and other decorations instead of crates. This will improve happiness even faster. Fill up your settlement until your size meter is yellow.
• Daily routine: 1) wait until its between 7am and 8am 2) sleep 2 * 24 hours 3) do nothing until your happiness increases (will take about 2-3 in-game hours).

But I hear there are a lot of other variables that can mess up your game. So it's in no way a guarantee, as settlements are really messed up. :/

@Kidfried: Christ, that sounds like a right faff.

Thanks for the tips though! One day, maybe. Will keep you all posted. Very jealous you were successful.

@BenTarrant I had to look up the word 'faff', but it sounds like the right word to describe achieving this trophy. I combined it with some household task as it is a pretty boring endavour on its own.

OK, question for you guys!

With Crash Bandicoot, Final Fantasy 7 and System Shock all being remade from scratch for PS4, if you had to choose a classic game from over 15 years ago to get the same treatment, what would it be?
