Oh my. What is that smell? Can you smell it? Where is it coming from? Such a stench. A smell you don't want to smell because it smells so bad, but you can't help smelling it because it feels so good to smell. One of those smells. What is it? It's Episode 83, of course! A smell but for your ears, if such a thing can be imagined.

In this episode, deKay, Toby and Kendrick discuss recent gaming news excitement like "Wow that new game is gonna cost a bit" and "Oh noes people are angry they put an African in Japan" and "Is it really a proper physical release if it's just a CD knocked up in Nero Burning ROM?". What games are these comments relating to? Smell it, with your ears, and find out!

Early philosophers noted that podcasts about video games were important sources of soul energy. They discussed at length about how this may be the case, and conducted many thought experiments to attempt to determine how best to profit from this information. Until the fall of Pompeii, at least, after which nobody cared because everything was on fire. All this is by way of providing a paragraph of waffle to inform you that we done Episode 82.

In this episode, deKay, Toby and Kendrick talk about goats. There's also some video game chat in there, notably to do with Embracer's de-coupling, Blaze's new Evercade hardware and software, Front Mission (not a euphemism) 2, and Fallout (the TV show, not the game, but also the game). Mostly, it's goats. And sheep. And some games.

In the Dark Place, there was a Light. A small Light, but a Light that shone brightly, excitedly, erratically. A Podcast Light, to bring Video Game Chat Joy to all the Listeners. And, behind that Light, somehow hiding in its own shadow in the darkest of the Dark Place, was Episode 81 of the ugvm Podcast.

In this episode, deKay, Toby, Kendrick and Choobs eventually get round to talking about video games, including a number of titles that Kendrick has almost certainly made up because lets be honest, nobody is going to check, are they? Those, and new on the new Fallout TV show, Simon the Sorcerer is BACK, Kien for the Game Boy Advance in the Year of Our $deity 2024, Apex Legends hacking shenanigans, and The Haunting of Stardew Valley 1.6. And if you're a fan of sidetracking, then do we have some sidetracking for you!

Fire up the ROFLCopter (that's still what the cool kids say, right?) because it's time for Episode 80 of the best podcast hosted by these specific people! Probably!

In this episode, deKay, Kendrick and Toby stroke their variously hirsute chins and ponder Games, The Multiplatformverse and Everything, including such topics as Microsoft releasing games for the PS5 and Switch (or not), Microsoft abandoning hardware (or not), and Why Are So Many Games Set In Shibuya? If that isn't enough for you, what about this impressive array of viddy yoh games

With Christmas a distant memory, the "gang" reconvene to talk about very important things from the world of Video Gaming and, well, other things too. Welcome, to Episode 79.

In this episode, deKay, Kendrick, Choobs and Toby complain about money-grabbing Sega, talk about yet more game development studios letting staff go, YAJTTWG (Yet Another Journey To The West Game - Black Myth Wukong), the mysterious "ake 6", and many, many games.

With the stars unable to align for the production of an episode this December, Kendrick has recorded a little something for you all about ugvm, usenet, the universe and everything.

What the listener didn't expect, was to discover that most of the podcast seemed to be about things that had nothing to do with the games mentioned in the usual list of topics. "How queer," they said. "How very, very queer".

Episode 78 brings together the talking force of deKay, Kendrick, Orrah and Toby and they use their powers to speak words on subjects such as Embracer's employee cull, Creative Assembly's employee (and game line-up) cull, Why Creative Assembly Lost Their Way With The Total War Series, What Ben Croshaw Did Next, and mountains of games.

It is with great pleasure that we present to you our most newest edition (until the next one, anyway) of the world-beloved ugvm Podcast! Warm your toes by the fire of Episode 77. For it is indeed a fire. In a bin.

In this exciting episode, deKay, Kendrick and Luffer try very hard to fill the required number of minutes with such diverse topics as Formula E's foray into the NFT/blockchain game, an upcoming Kickstarter title called Night Stones, and why the Quest 3 both proves and disproves why VR is and isn't dead. Plus, bonus chat about edible leather footwear for some reason, and words and noises about these games and more.

There are very few certainties in this world, but one of them is guaranteed disappointment in your ears when you listen to a new episode of the ugvm Podcast. Like this one, Episode 76!

This time, deKay, Toby and Kendrick break with established norms and talk about games. Oh, wait, no. That's what they usually do. OK, have some Action Man chat instead - that's not been covered before. Plus, news about Xbox Leaks, Unity, Toby's Attempt To Coax You Into Youtube Hell, Amazon Luna, Nexus Mods and how the US entertainment strikes have moved on to games now. There's also a show report (apparently this is a thing we do semi-regularly now) of the Insomnia Gaming Festival and the ALGS Championship final hosted therein.

Kerpow! It's Episode 75 slapping you in the ears like a slappy thing slapping things!

In this episode, deKay, Kendrick and Toby talk about Exciting Things At Gamescom, or rather, lack of them, Major Nelson Major Rumours, the PlayStation Portal (neé Q) handheld thing, YABOABH (Yet Another Bit of Atari Branded Hardware), or the Atari 2600+ and who exactly it is for, Sega buying Rovio, dad of Angry Birds (and therefore the chances of a Sonic/Angry Birds shared cinematic universe) and some other Stuff. You know, like normal. Plus some games, many of which are Quite Good, and at least one of which is Pretty Meh. Place your bets!
