ugvm Podcast

Childish schoolboy sniggers abound, it's Episode 69 of your favourite[citation needed] viddyo games podcast!

This episode, the old men that are deKay, Luffer and Kendrick and the slightly less old man that is Zo, navigate carefully around the choppy waters of the number 69, discuss the new toys Luffer has bought (he got a Pico 4 VR headset to go with his other 54124 VR headsets), Nintendo's Nintendo Direct direct, Goodbye Volcano High, and important other topics like Bill and Ted and how you just don't see waggling joysticks these days. Additionally, games!

Yes, yes. We know the last episode was a mere shadow of a proper show. A snifter. A tease. Well, we're back with a Real One, you lucky, lucky people.

In Episode 68, which somehow unexpectedly became a Chinese New Year Special, deKay, Toby, Orrah and Kendrick do chats about How To Speak Chinese Proper Like, Wo (like "oh-woah") Long Fallen Dynasty (and related Chinese history), the death of Stadia, tech layoffs, AND! Games!

Thanks to some wonderful audio issues from our resident audio engineer, last episode left us with a lot of "material" which got cut as it was mainly chat while we waited for stuff to get fixed temporarily. It seemed a shame to lose this Classic ugvm Bants to the dark recesses of deKay's hard drive, so we've collected together all these not-for-air outtakes for a cheaply made, very short, Episode 67. Think of it as audio bubble and squeak.

Which is ironic because we suffered from plenty of bubbling and squeaking.

What? It's Christmas again already? Impossible. And yet - here we are with a festival shambles episode, with all the audio dropouts and edits only a True Christmas Shambles Episode could provide.

In Episode 66, deKay, Kendrick, Zo, Toby and Luffer talk about the Evercade EXP Special Edition theft, Ash Ketchum finally retiring from the world of Pokémon, the exciting announcement trailer for Armoured Core VI, and a few games

Don't panic everyone, we're here after all! October was, er, holiday month or something. Yeah, that'll excuse the delay. Phew, eh?

In Episode 65, deKay, Toby and Kendrick cover the new Evercade EXP's delay  but can't remember the details, the Mega Drive Mini 2 but can't remember the games on it,  Embracer shutting down a recent studio purchase, R-Type Tactics, and holy hell there's no way Metroid Prime is 20 years old already. That would make use all very old gentlemen indeed. And we talk about some games wot we are been playing.

If you like a bit of history in your podcast, then by all means listen but it's not really quality history content and, frankly, the game chat is better than that's bad enough as it is. Fair warning!

In Episode 64, deKay, Kendrick, Orrah and Zo celebrate the Nintendo 64 for approximately three minutes, then move on to more modern things like Stuff Wot Happened At Tokyo Game Show and Some JRPG Only Kendrick Has Heard Of That Is Coming Out. Plus, being ugvm, we couldn't help but talk about Yakuza. Several times, in fact.  If you have the play-at-home ugvm Drinking Game sheet, you're probably best locking the liquor cabinet.

Your regular, too long, tedious video game chat podcast is back! Episode 63 comes to you right now in this actual post! Don't mess yourself.

In this episode, deKay, Kendrick and Toby tell you all about Embracer Group buying All the Things, Nintendo being the latest in a sadly long line of games companies with abusive and misogynistic working conditions, Anti-Pride Spider-Man mods, One Dungeons and Dragons, and some actual GAMES.

We were going to record this a week earlier but the Earth was hotter than the actual surface of the Sun so that was deemed impossible, impractical, and far too sweaty. Instead, we recorded a week or so later. You'd not notice if I hadn't just told you. And mentioned it in the episode.

Episode 62 features The deKay, The Kendrick and The Luffer discussing The Intellivision Amico, The Steam Deck, The Mega Drive Mini 2, The Implosion of CD Projekt Red shares, The Ability to Buy Actual Consoles, The New Monkey Island, and The Release of Lord Winklebottom Investigates. But mainly The Steam Deck. A lot of that. And games!

The ugvm Podcast returns, a little earlier than advertised in some listings magazines, with this, Episode 61.

Not that there's anything specifically noteworthy about Episode 61, but it does feature The Return of the Zo, who joins deKay, Luffer and Kendrick in Chat Mode, and we talk about Not-E3, games at Not-E3, the future of E3 and/or Not-E3, Saudis Buying Stuff, Starfield, aaaaaand... games we have played such as these ones what are listed here.

60 episodes of... this. What is wrong with you all.

This time round, deKay, Toby and Kendrick talk about the launch problems with Sony's new PlayStation Plus tiers, Steve Jackson (no, not that one) bringing OGRE to consoles, Nintendo and/or GameFreak taking away the Pokémon music they only gave us a few months ago, and Important News about Pac-in-Time.
