  • This week on Thumb Cramps, we are so sad to report that the rules of No More Guests ‘Til September Ends are broken as Joel and Jackson are joined by their tour mate, friend and huge gamer James Clement (Mr Sunday Movies) to look at Thank Goodness You’re Here for the Nintendo Switch, Mad Max for the PS4 and Deadly Premonition Origins for the Nintendo Switch. This episode was recorded live from a hotel room in Edinburgh so the sound quality isn’t perfect but you can all pretend you’re on tour with them. That’s the magic of podcasting.

  • This week on Thumb Cramps, it’s the final week of Pile of Shamegust and unfortunately host Joel Duscher has been struck down with an illness so it’s up to co-host Jackson Baly to team up with his good friends/gamers Adam Carnevale and Hayden Bleechmore to look at Penny’s Big Breakaway for the PC, Little Kitty, Big City for the PC and Luigi’s Mansion 3 for the Nintendo Switch. Also cucking. This goes as well as you’d expect a host-less episode of Thumb Cramps to go.

  • This week on Thumb Cramps, it’s time to optimize results as they celebrate SEOuly (Search Engine Juloptimization) with Ian Shelton from the band Militarie Gun to look at the video game that has it all, Fortnite. Is it smart to bring in a successful musician who is friends with Post Malone, has had songs featured in multiple video games, played arena shows all around Australia and only talk to them about the video game Fortnite? We think yes. Consider these SEOs Juloptimized.
