Hello! And welcome to the first of four bite-size news features, crafted in celebration of Half-Minute Hero as we try to cram the week's news into 30 seconds. We fail. These podcasts are available on the Rising Star Games Hoshi website (http.//www.risingstargames.com/hoshi), but delivered to OLL iTunes subscribers as a special treat for the ears. Enjoy!
So this is it, then, the final episode of our award-winning fifth season. We all knew it was coming, especially Ann, who can count. Sing along to the theme, grab a handkerchief, say your goodbyes: it's going to be emotional, that's for sure.
In episode #120 of San Antonio's favourite videogame radio show:
++ Figuratively billions of features from all our favourite contributors, including special season-closing songs from Derek Williams and The Doyouinverts
++ Steven Poole reveals the three rules every good troll must follow
++ Season 5 ends :(
But don't worry, because we'll be back soon. There'll be bits and bobs on the podcast feed in the meantime, and do keep listening to Resonance because it's excellent. We'll see you in March. Bango!
Team OLL xx
PS: Music on #120 was from the brilliant little scale and Derris-Kharlan. Find them, like so much of the music we play, at 8bitcollective.com.
It's the penultimate episode of Season 5. That comes right before the Ultimate episode of Season 5, which means, as a warm-up act, this One Life Left has quite a lot to do. Does it do it? Find out inside.
Also in #119:
++ Two guests -- an OLL veteran, and an OLL newcomer
++ News on Ste's contribution to the Global Game Jam 2010
++ And Craig The Rage returns, albeit in a slightly muted form
In fact, sorry about the overall sound quality today, which is partly because we didn't soundcheck, but mostly down to a problem with the Resonance recording device thingy. And sorry for the delay. There was an actual power cut while I was uploading last night. I have never had a power cut before. Funny how these things happen just as Eurogamer start a podcast, isn't it?
Coming up on this week's description of this week's One Life Left: a hastily written paragraph describing the content of episode #118 of Africa's favourite gaming radio show*.
Apologies this is somewhat late. Will explain on the show next week (it's nothing really exciting, just something else Ste's been working on).
Episode one hundred and eighteen of One Life Left features the following content:
++ Reviews Editor Taliah, who recently turned nine, discussing boyfriends
++ Our consider response to Eurogamer's new podcast
++ Lots of framing, just like this
See you next week.
(Still looking for a web designer / webmaster. Enquiries to the show's address, please.)

*Possibly.
One Life Left returns! New episode! New decade! New resolutions, to be polite and professional and considerate to copresenters, broken straight away! Happy New Year!
It's 2010 and hey, we live in the future. A future where:
++ Halo appears on the PS3,
++ It's acceptable to discuss the abilities of Ron Jeremy on a videogame radio show,
++ and Music videos featuring rain are always the best.
The future, ladies and gentlemen, is now.
Apparently our shows are going to be in the national radio archives or some such now. Our ancestors are going to be mortified.
Music on #117: Spoon by Coda, Helium Stare by Downstate and The World Can't End Today, It's Already Tomorrow In Australia by Rhodo4.
See you next week!

It's the week of the OLL Christmas Party, which means it's the last episode of the show before christmas. So no guest this week, just the team reflecting on a magical year of adventures, awards, and typical incompetence. Bango!
Also in #116:
++ Ste returns from 10 days of drinking, manages to just about hold things together
++ Simon loses it in the letters section
++ Ann comes up with a new catchphrase
Music in Episode 20 (OMG, only four left for the season!) all comes from Overclocked Remix, who celebrated their 10th anniversary recently. Happy birthday!
One last thing: come to the Christmas Party. You'll regret it if you don't.
love,

Look, it
sounds a bit like MCV, which is where industry gatekeeper and this week’s superguest
Michael French works. He’s editor-in-chief, no less: making him, literally, the
man in charge of the games industry’s news. Marvel as we give him the customary
OLL grilling, and manage to glean literally none of his secrets.
Elsewhere
it’s business as usual. We’ve features, chat, a joke (of sorts), music and no
Ste: he’s drinking in a holiday camp once again. We secretly suspect he’s a
Redcoat . And when we say “secretly” we now mean publicly. No Ste means
horrific desk errors, due to a the schoolboy one of not actually numbering the
tracks on the CD. Our Twitter Poll (@OneLifeLeft) encouraged us to leave the mistakes in.
Blame the listeners, not the broadcasters. You know Chris Moyles records his
shows a month in advance, don’t you?
Hey, write
us: We love your letters. But if that’s not enough, we sometimes reward those
who take the time to correspond with free things – this week, we have PSP Minis
D-Cube Planet and Circles as prizes, thanks to the kindness of developer
GameShastra. And as we – or Michael – call it: these can soon be enjoyed on the
PS3. It would have been another One Life Left EX-EX-EX-excusive if the podcast
had been up on time.
Next week:
the team reunite, for our last show of the year. And most importantly, the last
show before the OLL Christmas knees-up (December 18th, from 5:00pm,
with a live show at 8:00pm. The Blue Posts, Rupert Street, Soho). It will be
literally unbroadcastable: hear it while you can.
Episode #118 of One Life Left brings the gang back together: Ste's back from Venice and Simon's back from a fact-finding mission to Gamespot. Ann hasn't been anywhere, but that doesn't stop her delivering a world exclusive from nowhere in the letters section...
This week they're joined by another special guest. It's one of the secret rulers of the games industry: Steve Owen from Gamespress. Press, you see? Press and gang. Press gang!
Right. Rather than spoiling the rest of the episode, which features a bonus Craig the Rage that wasn't in the live show, here are three things you should remember to do in December:
1) Come to our Christmas party
2) Come to our Christmas party
3) Come to our Christmas party.
We'll see you there.
Music in #114 from the Depreciation Guild. Find us on Twitter / Facebook. Oh, and tell your friends! See you next week.

Ann: check. Simon: check. Super-special-guest Neil Long,
editor Official Nintendo Magazine: c heck. Ste: ...
Yeah, dad’s away this week, so it’s happy fun party time at
OLL Towers, with a special celebration in aid of the 50th issue of
ONM, in “shops” now.
Bottles of Blue Nun are downed, cigarettes are smoked out
through the toilet window and a couple are discovered upstairs amongst the
coats. CALL YELLOW PAGES TO TIDY UP!
Aside from a record – and show – breaking two desk errors,
it’s actually business as usual at One Life Left. There are only two songs,
mind, so fans of The Killers will have to wait until next week, when we *think*
Ste is off again.
Lesser radio shows might think twice about podcasting an regretful hour of bickering, giggling and general idiocy (factual AND behavioural). But One Life Left sees it as an opportunity: this week’s mistake is next week’s hour long apology. Onwards!
Also :
++ First details of the Christmas Party, which is on Friday 18th December in London. PLEASE COME. We have a venue and booze and everything
++ Microsoft’s Dan Maher neatly dances past all kinds of journalistic traps set by the cocksure One Life Left ex-ex-exclusive hunting team
++ One Life Left, you’re stupid! Farmville wasn’t made by PlayFish. Please write in and tell us that some more. You know the address
Two covers for music this episode:
Hot ‘n Cold [Katy Perry] – Mudkipz
The Fear [Lily Allen] – Bit the Medusa
Ste is away for a week taking a partially-earned holiday , but Simon and Ann will be back next week, presumably with the apologies music on a loop. See you then!
