ugvm Podcast

With nothing better to do, it was time for another Chat About Games. With a slightly retro feel this episode!

In Episode 59, deKay, Toby, Kendrick and Luffer reminisce about the ZX Spectrum to celebrate its 40th birthday. Then, imagine the hilarity when deKay gets failed product Amico mixed up with failed product Atari VCS! Except you don't have to as it's right here! More retro "fun" with Dungeons and Dragons and Sonic Origins, as well as exciting future tech Looking Glass and how Coachella (however you pronounce that) are using AR because COVID. And web browser chat! No, really.

Oh, and some games. It is a game podcast, after all.

We're sorry but yes we made another podcast. Actually we're not sorry. You probably deserve it after that thing you did. Yeah, we know. And we're going to tell your parents.

In this, Episode 58 of the ugvm Podcast, the Men With Mouths That Speak are deKay, Kendrick and Toby and they do all the speaking about Sony's new PlayStation Plus/Now hybrid, the Intellivision Unboxing Video, and VR NFL. Plus, you ain't going to get any chat about the incredible Sega MegaCD title that is Slam City with Scottie Pippen anywhere else. All that, and some actual gaaaaaames.

Two episodes in one months? You lucky, lucky people! You're even more lucky because this episode has no singing in it. Yes, I know it's only because we missed January by a day. Shush.

In Episode 57 of Your Least Favourite Video Game Podcast, deKay, Toby, Luffer and Tim expel lexiconic blather from their phizogial orifii on the subjects of, but not limited to, the closure of the 3DS and Wii U digital stores, people not buying PS4 versions of games that have free upgrades to PS5 versions when that's cheaper than buying the PS5 version, Fun NFT Discussion, Sony's PSVR2 announcement, the recent Nintendo Direct, and some Steam Deck stuff. And! Some! Games!

Yes, we're late. Sorry. Nobody could be bothered last week so we've blundered into February without a January episode. Even though this was recorded in January (just about). We're here now and that's all that matters, yes yes? Apart from the content of course, and oh boy, what content.

This episode, deKay, Kendrick, Orrah and Toby provide mouth trumpeting disguised as bafflement at the large sums of money both Microsoft and Sony have been throwing around, Six Days in Fallujah being delayed yet again, Chinese opera, and despite it not being Black History Month, it seems it actually is Black History Month for us as Kendrick explains. Look, it's what you get with this podcast you know what you signed up for you can't complain now, Karen.

Joyeux Noël to our listener! As a special present, this episode features us playing a game which definitely isn't anything like No More Jockeys at all because of course Luffer can come up with his own game format, right? Right.

We apologise unreservedly for this rare lapse in our standards of quality and entertainment.

With the crew back up to full power, Episode 54 is easily the best episode we've had in at least four weeks.

In Episode 54, deKay, Kendrick, Luffer and Toby spit bars on such topics as Gamesmaster, Epic buying Harmonix, The Elder Scrolls VI (that's "vee eye" not "eye vee", Kendrick) being PC and Xbox exclusive, more Bugsnax incoming, and racism. No, not providing racism (well, not three of us anyway), but discussing it. Big chats, boys. And! Some! Games!

Three (count 'em!) presenters this month. That's 50% more than last time, so does it translate to 50% better quality? Of course not.

In Episode 53, deKay, Kendrick and Toby outdo last month's Traffic Cone Chat with discussion about AI tanks and how that relates to Roombas dealing with dog poo. Come on, you don't get this with TCGS. Also, more on Activision Blizzard, the new Animal Crossing expansions, the Xbox Mini Fridge, and games.

It's just the OG lads this episode, because everyone else is sick, on holiday, sick and on holiday, or lazy. Or lazy and sick.

deKay and Kendrick attempt to make the best of the situation with Hot Facts about the Nintendo Direct, Victoria III, Activision Blizzard and Thatcher's Techbase (trigger warning: little bit of politics), discuss Chris Pratt and why he would be a better Luigi than a Mario, and spoke all the words about many of the games.

Back to boring old noises-only podcasting, here's Episode 51! Probably for the best you can't see our fat greasy faces anyway.

In this episode, deKay, Kendrick, Luffer and Toby talk about Serious Things like war and stuff with some discussion about Six Days in Fallujah, Moderately Less Serious Things like how Among Us is now in Fortnite and how naughty that is, and some Very Much Less Serious Things like some upcoming remasters of GTA III and Exhumed. And hardly any mention of Yakuza at all, sorry.
