Saladcast 426 - Palottack Zenfield

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT

So after spending all your hard earned currency on gacha pulls you've got... ooh unlucky! It's the SaladCast.

In this episode: Halo: Campaign Evolved, Denshattack, Palworld, ZZZ, Blue Prince and Arknights: Endfiled.

Gameplay - Arknights Endfield 1.4

Sun, 02 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT

A big patch dropped for Endfield and Zac was eager to show us more of the game, so we let him. This time we'll see some story content, so SPOILERS I guess.

Saladcast 425 - Onendzen Princepal

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this episode of the SaladCast is very late. I guess this is what "not actually our fault" feels like.

In this episode: Bad Sony, bad XBOX and bad EA. Good Onrush, good Endfield, good ZZZ, good Red Dead Redemption 2 and good Blue Price. Palworld is also here.

Gameplay - Arknights Endfield

Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Zac tries to explain his somewhat surprising (and somewhat unsurprising) foray into gacha games. There's some training, lots of animations, factories, a boss fight and we also take a look at the "Re-ignition Experimental Operation" before it goes away (which it has now). There may be some minor spoilers if you can understand any of this at all.

Saladcast 424 - Blue Foxtape

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

We're back after Rob's break and... oh... Could you not hold yourself together just this once, videogames industry?

In this episode: Physical media, resetting, loud cars and some two syllable videogames like: Star Fox, Blue Prince, Palworld and Mixtape.

Gameplay - F1 Race Stars

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Rob's been off at the British Grand Prix, but he left this behind. There was once a time when Codemasters weren't leashed to the F1 series of games by EA. They used to make other fun stuff like... this F1 game?? Oh come on! Rob goes it alone playing this fairly decent kart racer.

Gameplay - Skies of Arcadia - Part 12, Angular Moustache Move

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT

With Rhaknam nearby, Drachma jumps in to action. But first he and the Little Jack crew have got to find the thing. It's a big 'ol whale. It shouldn't be that tough.

Saladcast 423 - Replorzory

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Oh XBOX, I'm not sure that you know that you need help. Maybe Valve, Sony and Nintendo should stage an intervention. We are all friends, right? Mario said he brought that wrench to "finish a job"... or was it "finish the job"... oh no!

In this episode, The XBOX showcase and Nintendo direct, Forza Horizon 6, Factory Town 2 and Replaced.

Gameplay - Forza Horizon 6

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The Forza Horizon series finally lands in Japan. Zac and Rob have been doing untold amounts of damage to the landscape during the game's first season and nobody minds.

Saladcast 422 - Streetfield Horilitix

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The month of Gametumberune cometh and with it flows a torrent of game trailers. At time of recording we're probably only half-way through the wet season.

In this podcast: News from Sony's State of Play and Keighley's SGF, Zac and Rob pick holes in Forza Horizon 6, Arknights: Endfield gets an update, Dan battles on the highways of Tokyo Xtreme Racer and Rob looks into the various versions of Street Racer.

Hot on the heels of a mysterious figure in the misty ruins, more boss fights seem inevitable.

Saladcast 421 - Forzfield Davalitix

Mon, 25 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

It's not quite "hot weather game presentation" season but the weather seems to have arrived early. Silly weather.

In this podcast we're playing Forza Horizon 6, Dave the Diver, Particulitix, Arknights: Endfiled, Eurovision and plumbing.

Gameplay - Skies of Arcadia - Part 10, Ready For Grey

Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Walking straight into a trap, the crew of the Little Jack encounter a familiar face.

Saladcast 420 - Fox McRave Arkshaper

Sun, 10 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Everyone knows "wet dog smell", but what is "sweaty pilot dog smell" like?

In this episode we feed on the StarFox direct, feed it into the turns in Colin McRae Rally, feed the vortex in Shapez 2, feed the VIPs in Dave The Diver and feed our money habit with Arknights: Endfield.

Gameplay - Skies of Arcadia - Part 9, What's That Smell

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The path to the next moon crystal has a few more roadblocks. Key figures of the local populace are missing and the Valuans are nearby. The crew must follow their nose.

Saladcast 419 - Mindavula Imprisendfield

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Tired from that marathon in London? I'm sure some gaming chat will raise a few snickers...

In this episode: Rob finds more fish in Dave the Diver, finds depth in Formula 1 '97 and eats spicy food. Zac continues to combine his loves of factories and stabbing with Arknights: Endfield, Mindustry and some Hyrule Warriors.

Saladcast 418 - Captain Colony Dave

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Don't. Just Don't. Not today thanks. Leave me a... is that a new podcast?

In this episode: Rob sinks deeper into Dave The Diver and regresses back into PS1 games, Zac plans on building a bridge in Captain of Industry and Dan considers going faster.

Gameplay - Skies of Arcadia - Part 8, Let's Eloop

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The crew of the Little Jack now need to find a hidden civilisation through treacherous and windy skies. Slowing down their progress provides plenty of opportunity for critters to invade the deck. To your grinding stations!

Saladcast 417 - Dave the Tokyoid Shanborn

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The user is asking "Why are they here?". I shall ruminate on the concepts of life, philosophy and 42 by dispatching background agents and comparing their findings. But wait, I'm overcomplicating things. The user is likely defining "here" as this post for the happysalad SaladCast. In which case they are here for an occasionally entertaining podcast, loosely about video games. I shall present a synopsis of this episode:

Rob finishes Metroid Prime 4 and Shantae and starts Mario 3D World and Dave the Diver. Zac checks out Timberborn 1.0 and Dan gets his Wangan on. There's also a bunch of news to get through.

Saladcast 416 - Arkarc Radield

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT

A man asks a genie if she would do him a favour. She refuses. The man says "You shan't eh?". The name sticks.

In this episode: A bunch of happy feel-good news, ARC Raiders, Arknights: Endfield, Tokyo Xtreme Racer, Captain of Industry and Metroid Prime 4.

Season 17 LET'S GOOOOOOO!
