Off Piste Podcast

Every nerd worth their salt has fantasised about being in a video game on occasion. So have Off Piste. But what would a video game starring each of the Off Piste boys look like? Two of the group plan the other third's video game! But does it turn into a big roast? Naturally. Tull tries to avoid suspicion, Neil puts his life on display and Luck mysteriously disappears. Meanwhile, Virgo gets more than he bargained for when going after Principal Black and Randall Jnr. finally makes to decision to help Shigeru escape Wyatt's compound.

Halloween is upon us mortal souls once again. Before we get drafted into the Skeleton War, the Off Piste crew discuss which non-horror characters would make great horror monsters. Strap yourselves in for spooky tales... and a lot of chat tangibly related to the question at hand as usual, of course. Tull believes in fairy body-horror, Neil tries to outrun the horror and Luck instills fear of lime-green men emerging from dark alleyways. Meanwhile, Wyatt crosses the line with Randall Jnr. and Emiko calls Flint about her concerns for Principal Black’s safety.

After 4 months away that feel more like 5 weeks, Luck returns to the original Off Piste trio to discuss everyone's third or fourth (at least) favourite pink blob - Kirby. Despite Kirby's love for ingesting things whole to gain their powers, there are some things and people he perhaps shouldn't absorb. But what/who? Find out as Neil starts creeping, Luck starts a glorious new regime and Tull displays an immense dislike for a California girl. Meanwhile, a grounded Emiko warns Principal Black at school to watch out for danger and Flint presses Isla for her partially-remembered information about her captivity.

Everyone loves a great meal out at their favourite restaurant. Great food, great atmosphere, great service - these are all important things when it comes to the restaurant experience. But what if we had some fictional characters team up with the Off Piste crew to open up some restaurants? That'll end well... right? Tull sources seafood from the stars, Neil obtains censoring from Michelin stars and returning guest Maddie has a social misfit serve customers cocktails until they're seeing stars. Meanwhile, Wyatt orders Virgo to take care of Principal Black and Isla suddenly experiences some vital memories returning to her.

The Grand Theft Auto series of video games has brought countless hours of fun needlessly slaughtering people and ignoring bowling requests from relatives to millions of players around the world. But with such a violent, insane setting, some characters from other media would surely thrive there, but which ones? Off Piste aims to find out. Returning guest Marcus goes in hard on the criminal underworld, Neil spreads darkness through the police forces and Tull drops a confused, fur-clad bastard into heat of the baking Los Santos sun. Meanwhile, Axel offers the olive branch to Kazuhiro and after days of frustration over his relatively unsuccessful house visit, Flint learns of Capricorn’s apparent suicide in his cell.

This week on Off Piste, the ladies take over! ...well, for a bit. Rebecca, Steph and new guest Maddie take the wheel to invent new movies by adding or removing a letter from their titles, but Neil, Tull and returning guest Marcus may have something to say about that. Meanwhile, Kazuhiro and Lisa catch Emiko sneaking out after dark to find clues and Axel reports back to Wyatt about Principal Black's suspicious visit.

What's a house party or drunken get-together at some godforsaken cabin in the middle of rural West Virginia without a solid game of beer pong? The beloved game has captured the hearts and livers of countless drinkers across the world, but who would be the most valuable addition to a beer pong team? Rebecca makes sure there's no slacking, Neil takes a left turn at Albuquerque and Tull takes aim. Meanwhile, Axel receives a visit from Principal Black at the steakhouse and Emiko tries to find clues as to her brother's whereabouts.

There have been many atrocities over the course of human history – with few like World War 1. War isn’t for everyone (obviously), but which characters would fare the worst through the horrors of WW1? Neil ensures ACME profits continue to rise, Tull throws an alcoholic onto the frontlines and new guest Marcus curbs his enthusiasm. Meanwhile, Isla tries to settle in to her new home under Flint’s care and Randall Jnr. begins to have his doubts.

Sure, some might say it’s more fun to be a villain than a hero, but when you’re a villain you’ve got to choose your battles carefully. Mess with the wrong hero, and you’ll be paste before your evil schemes can even get off the ground. So in which hero’s domain would the Off Piste crew try their hand at being villains in? Luck oppresses some mushrooms, Neil causes widespread damage with a golf ball and Tull messes with an entity whose powers he couldn’t even begin to fully comprehend. Meanwhile, Virgo has a heart-to-heart with Randall Jnr. about Wyatt’s methods and Deputy Flint pays Kazuhiro, Lisa and Emiko a visit.

Space. The final frontier. But also, as it happens, a great opportunity for employment. Who’d have thought it? Some Earth-based jobs frankly could do with some relocation. So Off Piste were wondering: which jobs would be improved by being in space? Neil seeks to rule the stars, Luck relocates the world’s most accident-prone theme park to a space station and Tull looks to deliver some packages before being offset by… L O N G P I P E S. Meanwhile, Virgo and Frost report back to Wyatt that their targets have been eliminated and Emiko begs Principal Black not to tell anyone what she and Shigeru found out about the steakhouse to keep Shigeru from further harm.

The world of hypotheticals can really get the old cogs whirring sometimes. So this week, the Off Piste crew are quite simply putting forward some ‘would you rather’ questions for each other to get to the bottom of! Luck proposes a choice between lovers, Neil looks to populate the Batcave and Tull puts forward a tale of two cities. Meanwhile, a distraught Emiko accidentally spills what she knows to Principal Black in his office after an uncharacteristic altercation with another student and Capricorn feels the sting of betrayal from Frost and his cronies.

We all gotta bite the dust sometime. That’s the sad fact of it all. Death and taxes and all that. But what if there is an afterlife somewhere? You’d want it to be a good one, obviously. So if the Off Piste crew were to kick the old bucket, where do they think would make the best afterlife? Neil experiences a duck blur, Tull opens the community chest and Luck becomes bad (and that’s good). Meanwhile, Lisa panics that what happened to Little Billy is happening all over again and Dr Cueto begs Virgo for his life.

Some figures are so charismatic that people can’t help throwing themselves at their feet. Yep, we’re talking cults on this week’s Off Piste. But most real life cults are a bit creepy and sometimes just straight up murdery. So who in fiction would the Off Piste crew form a cult around? Luck embraces his fears, Neil revisits his original Marvel man-crush and Tull allies with the white wizard. Meanwhile, Flint is informed about Shigeru’s finger being delivered to his family’s home and Virgo attempts to thwart Dr Cueto’s getaway.

Laser tag! All the fun of paintball with none of the pain and bruises! But sometimes team games happen and it only takes a couple of people with Stormtrooper accuracy on your team to throw the whole game for you. So who would the Off Piste crew have on their laser tag teams instead? Tull gives a captain a welcome recreational break, Neil gets some red on him and Luck reconfigures a sentry. Meanwhile, Emiko realises what fate could befoul her brother if she tells Kazuhiro and Lisa what she knows and Wyatt orders his prison informant, Frost, to tie up a loose end in the prison.

Summer’s in full swing and it’s time to hit the open road. That’s right, it’s time for an Off Piste road trip! They say that it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. But really, arguably both are important. So where would the Off Piste crew travel to and through on a fictional road trip? Neil goes monster hunting across the States, Tull traverses the Bifrost Bridge and Luck goes far, far away for some sightseeing. Meanwhile, Randall Jnr. starts to feel guilty in the wake of Shigeru’s torture and Kazuhiro, Lisa and Emiko receive a horrifying parcel with a cryptic note.

Okay, so maybe when Off Piste ran the Ministry of Magic, things may have gotten a little… extreme. But that’s alright, the universe is all about second chances! So maybe it’s time to be in charge of a slightly different organisation. One tasked with the protection of good and defence against evil, S.H.I.E.L.D.! There’s no way that can go wrong, right? …Right? The crew work together on this one, but there are some… conflicts of interest. Can the Off Piste boys keep the helicarrier on the straight and narrow? Meanwhile, Flint fails to bring himself to inform Isla of her entire family’s fate and Wyatt tells Virgo to break out the pliers after thwarting Shigeru’s latest escape attempt.

Ahh, the pub. A place for bonding and good times for hundreds of years. There’s nothing better than catching up with good friends over a good drink and the pub is often a great place to get to know someone you’ve not really met before. So which fictional characters would the Off Piste crew take to the pub for a good time? Neil talks to the animals, Luck hangs out with a regular father and Tull enjoys a chat about chaos theory over a pint. Meanwhile, a now nine-fingered Shigeru breaks and tells Wyatt that his sister Emiko also knows about the steakhouse and Dr Cueto starts packing his bags.

Let’s be honest: the wizarding world is an absolute shambles. An inept Ministry of Magic only causes more and more problems for Harry Potter and his wizarding pals. But have no fear, Potter. Off Piste are stepping in as the new administration. So what big plans to Off Piste have for the wizarding community now that they are the Ministry of Magic? Neil opens the mines, Luck brings the wizarding world into the 21st century and Tull heads up an elite taskforce. But one thing IS for certain… get in the mines. Meanwhile, Lisa sobs to Kazuhiro over her misplaced trust in Virgo as a friend and Flint learns of Thin Eric’s fate.

For those of us that like to indulge in a tipple now and again, sometimes it’s all too easy for one drink to turn into seven (drink responsibly). And when that happens, all signs point to you having many regrets when the head is pounding the following morning. But for some, it must surely be worse than others. So which fictional characters would be the absolute worst on a hangover? Off Piste investigates. Luck explores a contamination in the jungle, Neil reaches for that acorn on the horizon and Tull goes off the rails. Meanwhile, Wyatt instructs Axel to step up production and Capricorn makes Thin Eric’s decision about telling Flint what he knows for him – permanently.

Technology has come a long way across the last couple of decades. And the Off Piste crew are nothing if not philanthropists, of course. So generous. So caring. Always thinking about the common man. So if they could pick a fictional technology to make our world a better place, which would it be? Neil gets fully charged, Luck puts a ring on it and Tull C-137 helps some key figures dimension hop. Meanwhile, Kazuhiro bursts in on Virgo’s attempted aggressive advances on Lisa and Dr Cueto weighs up his lose-lose situation.
