It's Friday, which means the IGN UK Podcast team have once again roused themselves from a collective stupor to shower you with bants, reflection and insight. Mainly the first one, if we're honest.

This week sees Luke, Daniel, Chris and Rich get the trusty mics out in order to discuss everything from the rumoured Star Wars: Episode VII plot, to the official Doom 4 details, all via Marvel's proposed release schedule. We also have a good old chinwag about whether Comic-Con has evolved so much that it's no longer fulfilling its original purpose as a fan festival.

We tie it all up by advising you what games and films you should be looking out for, and answering your feedback. Although at this point I'd like to make it abundantly clear that I can grow facial hair. Lots of lovely, long facial hair. I'm like Gandalf in that respect. The fact I'm magical and also possess my own staff is a happy coincidence, however.
