They're spooky and they're kooky, they're all obsessed with booty, video games and poopy, the Button (boy) Family... It's a Halloween special this week as the Boys discuss the scariest games they've ever played, from the unsettling to the outright terrifying.
Sarah's been finding ways to unwind and then wind right back up this week with their game choices, Pierre's frustrated by nonsensical lore and Glenn's discovered what can only be described as, "gamer's crack".
And as if you weren't scared enough already, Glenn reveals his pathological ability to not get scared and the only game that really got to him.

Unforgettable Sequences
Buckle up your buckles, it's another episode of Button Boys. This week the Boys discuss those jaw-dropping gaming moments that never leave you, for better or worse. From big bummed Bandicoots to the frozen tundra, we relive some of video games' best and most shocking sequences.
The adrenaline rush doesn't stop there as Pierre decapitates his enemies in his first Game Pass game, Sarah comes face to face with a real-life game developer and Glenn... well Glenn struggles to put one foot in front of the other.
This week also sees the big reveal, the moment you've all be waiting for. Which of the three candidates; Loch Ness, Pippa Funnel: The Stud Farm Inheritance and Hell Let Loose, has won our listener poll to be played next on Hidden Cache.
And if the episode weren't action packed enough we've managed to find time to squeeze in a little gripe and let's just say, Glenn's feeling a little less than sympathetic.

Now That's What I Call Button Boys Bangers!
Tune in and drop out to this week's celebration of gaming's greatest soundtracks. The music that seeps into your subconscious, the sweeping scores, the minimalist themes and the hardcore thrash metal that accompany some of our favourite in-game experiences.
Before the Button Boys wax lyrical about that, Sarah has a tale of woe and misfortune to tell, Pierre's thinking about throwing in the towel and Glenn is getting (far too) excited about the first game on his new Switch 2.
And finally, Glenn gets gripey about Mother Nature. Looks like he really doesn't care for the environment.

Greatest Gaming Hubs: You Don’t Need Plumbing to Have a Toilet
This week the Boys are holed up in their favourite gaming hubs. From safe rooms to menu screens and everything in between, they'll be restocking their supplies, chatting with NPCs and working out where they can sell their unsettling quantities of unregistered firearms.
Elsewhere, Sarah's got an apology to make about a previous episode, Pierre's been travelling back to the earliest access of them all, the birth of civilisation, and Glenn has an update on their Metacritic Prediction Game.
And then there's Pierre's reality-based gripe that I'm sure will light up the depths of our Discord channels.
