This in an episode of Gamewank starring... everyone! Well, not everyone, but a bunch of people from the Exclusive Gamewank Discord got together with Jim to record Community Gamewank, a mad experiment that actually worked!

It's Gamewank! We're back for Xmas! Inside we discuss, I dunno, a bunch of stuff. Star Trek, obviously. Video games. Being a pair of decrepit auld guys who have to do this just to socialise now. After almost a decade and two remasters, Richie finally discovers GTA V. After over a decade and about 600 re-releases, Richie finally discovers Skyrim. Merry Christmas! Stay tuned for Community Gamewank next week!!!

***MILD PICARD SPOILERS FROM 20:00 - 30:30*** Joining us this week, Owen O'Donnell of The Infinite Review! We talk about Picard, Sonic 2, Chinatown Detective Agency, Karl Urban's Dredd, and Elden Ring. Also, Richie is very rude about Jim's cat.

Gamewank is back! Join Jim and guest host Ian for a big Chat Sandwich about Ghostwire Tokyo, PlayStation Plus Extra, Halo The TV Show, Elder Scrolls The TV Show and Judge Dredd The TV Show, as well as the usual crap. Jim and Richie will return later, and Ian will too because he's basically a regular now.

Ric & Jim get together for a new episode and decide ten minutes in that it's the Christmas one.

E3 is back, but the Gamewank guys are going to spend more time on ZZ Top and holodecks. Obviously.

Richie is joined by Owen, Sean, and Gav to lust after Vienetta and/or Irish Ice Creams, fighting bots in fortnite, the Eurogamer Expo (mind that?), their earliest memories of, uh, wanking, and of course the seminal PS2 title Tak and the Power of Joo Joo. Jim's no in it because he had an argument with Richie about rice cookers.

Powering through a lack of sleep, Ric and Jim find themselves unable to talk about video games for fear of triggering a thematic calamity for the show. An attempt is made to consult Chris Bratt about Dune II on the Amiga. Richie is psychologically outplayed by his girlfriend while Jim's home life is plunged into crisis by a custard cream-based misunderstanding.

Jim is joined by long-time friend of Gamewank Danny Eccles to talk about things that aren't videogames or Star Trek; like jobbie vapours, Batman Forever, and several unrelated guys called Kev.

Ric and Jim resurrect Gamewank, the gaming podcast that's mostly about Riker and bums. Nobody asked them to do it and they don't know why they did it. To kick off a new gen we discuss what's great about the PS5 and Xbox Series X, Game Pass, Spider-Man in 60fps, Riker, bums, Riker's bum, willies, forecourts, being old,
