Every week, on Rock Paper Shotgun's Electronic Wireless Show, listen to a few friends dive into a topic that revolves around PC gaming. Also, you'll hear them go off-topic and chat about fish tanks and traffic cones, too.

Electronic Wireless Show Ep 50 - Who are our favourite NPCs?
Non-player characters! Whether they’re annoying companions, side characters, or disembodied human heads, let’s talk about some of our favourites. John likes nice people, like Nicole Collard from Broken Sword, or Alyx Vance from Half-Life 2. Brendan likes the plucky passport forger in Papers Please who won’t take no for an answer. And Alice wants to carry around Murray the skull from Curse of Monkey Island. We’ve also played things. John has been smashing his car up in The Crew 2. Brendan has been kickflipping and faceplanting in OlliOlli 2. Whereas Alice has been puzzling through the calm architecture of Starman: Tale of Light.
