Episode 10

Thumb Bandits launches with anarchic flair as the team throws an unofficial UK party for the next generation of consoles, previewing the Xbox and GameCube while Brits wait for their turn. There’s hands-on chaos with explosive shooters like Max Payne, extreme sports showdowns featuring SSX Tricky and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, and a gleefully violent deep dive into Grand Theft Auto III. Add mobile gaming madness, online office distractions, strategy game obsessives, and a look ahead to trippy curios like Pikmin and Rez, and you’ve got a loud, rude, and proudly irreverent celebration of gaming culture.
