Really, what did you expect? F1 2020 has been released and we wouldn't do a podcast about it? C'mon! Matt and Ali can't resist the chance to talk about Formula 1, wheel setups and tyre feel on a race track. Don't switch off if you're a casual race fan though, there's some new options in this year's iteration that might appeal.
Listen to this episode of the Codec Moments podcast to hear all about:
- Tyre differentials
- Downforce settings
- Oil pressure regulation
- The degree of flex on the winglets
- Whether the Gurney flap has been updated
- If the above is a load of nonsense and they just like going fast in F1 2020.

With Sony's press conference on the 11th June 2020 showcasing a huge number of upcoming next generation games, the new DualSense controller, and the all important looks of the PS5, we decided to sit down and capture our thoughts (good and bad) on what we'd seen. Well, we being Ali and Matt... Andy was too busy to watch the event so had to receive all the info via live text message, then sift through what was true, and what we'd made up. There was a lot of great things on show, and a few bits that are telling from what was not said about the new hardware, but largely it started to really build the excitement for a new machine. We also thought we could get away with creating a new word in a Kojima fashion with revealations... might need some more work there.
Listen to this episode of the Codec Moments Podcast to hear:
- What we thought of the PS5 games and whether we'll be playing them at launch
- When we think GT7 will release
- Why kick off with GTAV... again?!
- How out of date our Mixer references are
- When the first Hitman conversation will be
- If Andy can compare the PS5 to a router more than 3 times
- What the leaked price and release date has come out as
- Whether Matt will buy into an Xbox Series X
- and more!

In this episode of the Codec Moments podcast which should really have been called "You won't believe the stuff the PS5 and Series X can do!", the team get together to have a chat about everything they know about the next generation of consoles. It turns out that's not a lot, but they do manage to avoid fanboy baiting each other and starting a fight. Of course, with Matt and Ali on the mics there's bound to be some racing game talk, and given the DiRT 5 announcement recently it's no surprise that they head down that track. There's specs, speculation and made up stuff galore - come and have a listen!
If you want to know the following then, you know, crack on...
- Are the team going to get the new consoles at launch?
- Do they care about 8k capability? Comes with bonus resolution effectivity discussion!

We're back in to the rhythm of never having time to get everyone together to record and failing to put out content. In a vague effort to do at least one thing for the Codec Moments podcast in March, Matt and Ali got together to talk about what they've played through February. It turned out to be a very busy month with more games than they realised. Andy's still lost in the depths of his man cave rebuild...
Listen to this episode of the Codec Moments podcast to find out:
- if Two Point Hospital features
- what's Andy up to
- is Overpass any good
- who's bought hardware
- whether Sea of Thieves has improved
- what Dreams is like
- why Matt's been back to GRID
- whether Ali has quelled his looter shooter hunger
- and more!

With it recently being the festive period, it's a time when traditionally the capitalist market goes into overdrive and consumerism dominates. This means usually we here at Codec Moments have been bought something fabulously techie, or have used the season of goodwill to cheer ourselves up with a fancy piece of kit. So it's a bit strange then that only one of us has been on any type of spending spree and treated themselves to new peripherals... like a HOTAS flightstick.
Listen to this episode of the Codec Moments podcast to find out:
- Who's been buying stuff
- Which games we were looking forward to have been delayed
- What a load cell does
- How much we know about the price of peripherals (not much it turns out)
- What the latest Fossil smartwatch is like
- If Andy broke free from his Apple shackles
- The correct way of pronouncing HOTAS

It's a scant 10 days into January and we're putting out our second podcast of year... officially more than the last 3 months of 2019. Woo! What's more, it was actually a live broadcast on our own internet radio channel. Oooh, get us catching up with the early Naught-ies. For those that missed the delight of hearing us screw up in real time, here's an edited version that makes us sound ever-so-slightly more professional when we're talking about the games of 2020 that we're interested in. If that's not enough, you can have around the clock noise right here.
In this episode of the Codec Moments Podcast, you'll hear:
- Which games each of us looking forward to in the first half of 2020
- Some random tenuously linked CES gadget announcements
- A bit of a filthy quiz that neither Ali or Matt felt clean after
- Live jingles
- Late additions to the running order
- Mis-pronunciations
- GAME store news (and a bit of ranting)
- and more!

It's been a long year in gaming, and we're about to make it even longer with our quiz that not only features things from 2019, but from the whole of the last decade. There's also the final roundup of Codec Momentum for the year, and news on what we'll be doing with it in 2020. Join Matt, Andy and Ali for a trip down memory forgetful lane...
In this episode of the Codec Moments Podcast, you'll hear:
- What gingerbread beer tastes like
- Whether starting a quiz after 10pm is a good idea
- Why the buzzers sound so familiar
- What it takes for Andy to lose his cool... and that he really doesn't like answering quiz questions
- Who finished where in the last leaderboard update for Codec Momentum
- If it was really worth all the time and effort to research the last decade and pose questions to Ali and Andy who couldn't give a f&*% about taking part
- How Codec Momentum is changing in 2020
- and not much thinking time because that was boring and got chopped in the edit
