What exactly is The Fluxcast? The Fluxcast might be about video games why not, right? Isn’t every podcast about video games nowadays? It’s a major form of media and a viable example of how we all enjoy wasting our free time. In fact the hosts of this show consume media in the same way you probably do and love to discuss it for your amusement. So does that mean this show is about everything and anything? You could assume as much but we like to think of it as friends across both sides of the pond just chatting. With the occasional euphemism misunderstood by one another due to geographic locations it makes for a fun time. We do love a good e-mail when they’re sent to flux@ninjapancake.com though. Feel free to write in!
Fluxcast E18 – Fiery. Fisting. Frenzy.
The most inconsistent podcast on Ninja Pancake returns! Your hosts may not exactly be the most professional but that doesn’t stop the fun. The trio have teamed up to discuss all things Overwatch, Rainbow Six and San Diego Comic-Con. If that isn’t exciting enough for you though then prepare to hear some of the world’s finest schmoozing and far too many uses of the word fisting.

Fluxcast E17 – The One With All The Pokemon
The terrific trio is GO! That’s right your hosts are hopping on the latest craze in an attempt to shamelessly boost ratings. Join us for a one week Pokémon special: we have thoughts on PokemonGO, Paul potentially purchasing, oh baby that alliteration, every single Pokémon game currently available and a charger because Nintendo don’t think that is a vital piece of hardware, Thomas’ first ever Pokemon game and how arrows confused him. Although the episode is a Pokémon Special the group couldn’t resist going slightly off topic, leading to some words on Project Scorpio, Rockstar Games and Red Dead Redemption.

No prizes for guessing who. Your hosts decide to go in depth on life this this week and reveal there regular working days. Well work is probably the wrong word. One party central day and one getting paid to sit around day. Again no prizes for guessing here. We’re super cas’ this week.

Fluxcast E15 – Weapons for a Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland
So If Warden, Blizzard’s Anti-Cheating AI, gets purchased by Google and decides that all humans are evil and creates a Post-Apocalyptic wasteland what is the most suitable weapon? Crossbow or a rifle? But before we get into that the Cast has Fluctuated once again. That’s right we have reached that stage everybody! But in all honesty your hosts have changed for this episode. Well apart from Paul, for better or for worse, he will always be here. Who has replaced James you ask? Daricus, aka Papa D, DareBear, Blue and many more names which are all revealed in this episode. It’s not all names and crossbows though, an old FluxCast classic also returns. How differently can two people say one word? For this week we have the title of a popular Blizzard game! Whilst bringing back an old FluxCast classic, we also start a new segment. Guess that game? In this fantastic piece Daricus gives a very vague hint about a game and then leaves it up to Paul to try and decipher what he means! Sound confusing? At least you didn’t have to take part! See you all next week, different words, same arguments!

Fluxcast E14 – Spoilers Redux!
Public Safety Announcement: The Dynamic Duo are back once again and due to some sort of International trickery we have managed to see Ratchet & Clank already! So if you do not want to have that ruined for you or another film, we want to say it is called something like Sergeant Australia: Polite Battle, then don’t listen to the back part of this episode. Spoilers Redux! The back part of the episode you say? Does this mean there is still some non-spoiler filled content that we can listen to? Well yes there is! We are going to let you in on a little secret this episode, we do vocal warmups, it helps to get us loose and once you have listened to this episode you will have the tricks of the trade to get yourself loose also. However while we may be vocally loose this episode Paul is definitely not mentally sharp. How we let him host this show we are not at all sure. We may do something this about next week, we may not that is a cliffhanger and a reason to see you all next week. Different group of people, same channel!

Fluxcast E13 – Britain! Britain! BRITAIN!
Seriously. Britain. Did you know that we are fifty percent British? If not then you are in for a treat. Lothric, New York City and Boston may have consumed most of the group/gaming world at large but James and Paul are still here this week to give you an insight in to Britain. The Queen? Check. Mary Berry? Check. Cockney London? Check. All we need to complete this episode? A good old British cuppa’. Not a fan of Britain? How about getting famous? Wait did we say famous? Now we have your attention! This week James is on hand to give a quick rundown about what he would/will do when he makes it. Long and short, being unnecessarily particular about which premieres and mixers he would attend. Speaking of films the Dynamic Duo do an in-depth breakdown of all of the recent trailers, we would say it rivals Empire magazine for analysis. However it is not all good news in this episode the Half Life 3 enigma gets cracked but it is not good news, please don’t hate us though we are just the messengers. One last little thing, we promise Paul is not as bad a boyfriend as this episode makes it out. See you all next week, different video game cities, same channel.

Fluxcast E12 – Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to who…? Wait what’s that? A dramatic pause and now you are hooked and you need to know whose birthday it is, how old they are and what are their plans? Well we implore you to press play and find out the answer to this and a whole host of other questions ranging from what a Carbuncle is? Can we buy a Carbuncle? Do we know anybody who is good enough to make a Carbuncle? We shall elaborate, Final Fantasy XV was announced this week leading to much fanfare within both the gaming and our little community. Not only that but the developers were also kind enough to release a demo for all to play. It’s a good time all around this week. Unless, like Paul, you are looking to fly to Ohio from London on a Sunday evening. That is unfortunately quite the struggle. See you all next week, different age and time, same channel.
