Watch: Johnny plays Shadow of the Colossus for the first time

And Aoife nearly murders him.

I have done many disappointing things and disappointed many people during my time on this earth. My GCSE results weren't great, I flaked on my close friend's 21st birthday party, and the less said about my sex life the better.

Throughout this long, rich history of letting people down, however, I don't think I've ever disappointed anybody as much as I disappointed Aoife while playing Shadow of the Colossus. This episode of Late to the Party isn't so much about introducing me to a seminal video game for the first time as it is about testing the limits of endurance and friendship. Watch the video below for exasperated sighs, conversations about butt hair, Taylor Swift, and more than a few choice swear words. Not all in the same sentence, naturally, but it's pretty close.
