We'll probably do another Patreon post later this year (lol), we never know what type when it comes to this promo stuff, we just prefer to talk into the mic. Thanks though, we're makin' stuff and we ...

Hi everyone,
It's been a while since the last Patreon post. I think it was at the very end of last year actually...
Honestly, we never know what to type here; so we just keep things simple and leave any relevant information on social media or on the actual podcast itself. You know we're good for it.
Don't worry, we're all doing fine. We'll be recording a new episode soon, but in the meantime we've put out a best of super deluxe bonus special....

Hi everyone, we've survived the whole year and we're ready to take on the next one.
This post was meant to go out like a week ago and be more 'Ho Ho Happy Holidays!' focused, but we forgot... So, apologies for neglecting these Patreon updates. The main hassle with them, is not knowing what to type, nothing interesting is really happening, hope that's okay. We usually do 6 - 8 of these posts a year, in relation to any specific bits of LFAB news, etc. But the consistent release...

We recorded Episode 148 the other night and we had a very special guest, that's right you guessed it, please welcome John!
No, actually it was our dear friend Woolie (way better).
Back at the very start of 2020 when we were kickin' it at MAGFest, we had plans to get Woolie on the show when he mentioned it was a goal of his to travel to Ireland. Unfortunately due to what happened a few weeks later, we had to postpone those plans for almost two years... But eve...

Hello, it's Bryan. I made a video for the internet and it's an EARLY ACCESS PATREON EXCLUSIVE! Please give it a watch.
I ordered a bunch of retro video game stuff from the internet and thought it might be fun if I recorded myself going through the haul.
This is an early access video for all you supportive patrons, so know that you are very specia...

The lockdown restrictions here in Ireland are improving every few weeks and we were finally able to go out and partake in a normal human social occasion. It was mad stuff altogether.
We're in the early vaccine phase for our age group now, the registration is updating again this month, but also some of us have got the first dose by sheer luck!? Anyways it's happening... Whi...

Hey, it's been a while since we've done one of these updates.
There hasn't been any exciting changes here in Ireland worth sharing to be honest. We're still not vaccinated lol, but you know... We're still going strong, so it doesn't matter? No it does matter, we want them vaccines!
But with our combined muscles piloting that shredded mecha in the picture above, we can keep fighting ~
As we go from spring into summer, we thought we'd give you ...

Hi all,
This will just be quick one -
Occasionally we'll get a notification from a patron asking for links to our $3 + rewards, as it seems they don't get the official email sent out... So hopefully you get this post update in your inbox!
If you're a Boss Rush Party Member and you're saying to yourself, "Hey I've never listened to the Black Tapes or checked out that rad Discord and golly gosh I'd love a digital hug right now". Well guess what...

We've reached the spring season and there's a grand ol' stretch in the evenings now ~
For this 'Patreon Exclusive Post', we thought we'd try something different, so we'd like to introduce you to our LFAB GAME CLUB! This isn't gonna be a regular thing or some podcast lore gimmick, rather it's just a small and occasional space for us to highlight three video games (one from each of us). If you listen to the podcast, which I'm sure you do, you'll have heard us talk about theses ...

Hi everyone,
Unfortunately we've had a real setback with COVID-19 cases here in Ireland this winter season, so we're keeping our social contact to a minimum for the next few weeks. We're still able to record the podcast with relatively safe precautions (no hugging allowed), but we're going to hold off on the Shenmue II Let's Play until at least spring. We had a great home setup when we recorded the first session together in December last year and we'd like to keep that going....

Hey everyone, just a quick update for the month of August.
Episode 129 is out a few days now and we hope you're enjoying it! We are delaying Episode 130 by about a week, so it'll be out around mid-August. Don't worry, we'll still be releasing two episodes that month, but they'll be in the later half of the month. That cool?
In the short term, there'll be something sweet and special coming out on our YouTube channel before the next episode. You'll know it when...

Oof... Now we gotta play Shenmue II.
Nah, in all seriousness, thank you all so very much ❤
Honestly, we were genuinely shocked that we hit this milestone, we all assumed we'd get there by the end of the year, but we're halfway through and it's already happened. Time to move that gear stick out of neutral and drive clunky martial arts boy Ryo around the streets of 1987 Hong Kong.
We won't be starting the full Let's Play of Shenmue II just ye...

When did that happen? What is time? All we know for sure is that we need to record a podcast every two weeks.
No big updates from us unfortunately. But we are slowly reaching our $1,500 goal to do a full let's play of Shenmue II, which is something to look forward to when things are better!? To any fresh patrons, welcome and thank you! To any old-school patrons, thank you again!
❤ It means so much that you're willing to support us right now ❤

Times are tough and we really are in the deep of it now, but rest assured we'll still keep podcasting.
Working remotely, we've made two episodes now and our main revelation is how adaptable we've gotten with our personal lives and the show itself. The first episode - Ep121 was a bit rough around the edges, definitely felt like one of our early ones... But the second episode - Ep122 is over three hours long and it's one of our favourites! There's only so much time you can spen...

Hello everybody,
It was St. Patrick's Day yesterday, but honestly it's kinda hard to tell what day of the week it is at the moment. So it feels more like a month-long stay-at-home-fest, with the current outlook lasting much further into the future... I'm sure a lot of you are in the same situation as us, stuck at home or going about your daily routine with a lot of limitations, but we're sure you'll stay STRONG through these times.

"Hi Everyone. This is John. This is the only way I can convince Bryan and Niamh to play Shenmue II. Please understand."
This is what John wrote before we scolded him and changed the password.
Yes, we are planning another FULL Let's Play. That's right, a multi-episode Let's Play of a game from beginning to end. To continue this hellscape narrative, we're delving further into Yu Suzuki's ridiculous career timeline with the follow up to Shenmue; the ...

It's a NEW year! It's a NEW decade!! It's a NEW whatever you want it to be!!!
Have you listened to our Game of the Year 2019 episode? It's divided into a one hour pre-show happy time and then a three hour fist fight. As always, it's available on all the usual platforms, but just in case, below are the SoundCloud links.
Have you? It's not gone missing or anything, don't worry. We just want to know if you've seen it?
We've been uploading a lot more stuff to it in recent weeks, with a variety of let's plays, best ofs and of course our regular podcast episodes. We've also organised it all into playlists to help suit your hungry media consumption routine.
Let's Play Shenmue
Part 01 of our first full Let's Play is out. No, it's not Death Stranding, it's Shenmue!
It seemed only right to revisit this game after the emotional experience of trying it out earlier this year. But now we're gonna complete from start to finish. The aim is to release a new part every Friday until either we die or Shenmue dies.

As the title says, we have picked a game for our full let's play. No, we can't tell you what it is. That is all.

Like it says above, we gotta say first and foremost - THANK YOU
It is straight up crazy to think you all are willing to support us to this level. We are but a humble video game podcast from Dublin, who record at home after our day jobs. But we got big ambitions ~
Now we've gotta do a FULL LET'S PLAY of a video game. We will beat that game from start to finish. We're gonna put a hurtin' on it so bad. With you all by our side, we can do it!

To nobody's surprise, we play one of Bryan's favourite video games. It's Kirby Super Star!
First we hung out with Ryo, then we chilled with Lara and now we've hit up Kirby. We're getting the hang of this whole Let's Play thing. Are you enjoying them so far? Here's some behind the scenes photos of us having a cute and pure time.

At the end of June we celebrate our podcast anniversary. This year we turn FOUR!
Our first episode was released on June 26th 2015 as an E3 2015 Review Roundup. It was awkward and confusing to record, but we liked the energy and conversations we had. So that summer we recorded a couple more episodes and started calling ourselves 'Let's Fight a Boss'!
Back then we all worked in the same animation studio in Dublin, Ireland. So gathering together after hours in the even...
