ugvm Podcast

Well this is exciting! To celebrate 50 episodes of everyone’s favourite podcast with the letters u, g, v and m in it, we did a live video show! No, not that sort of live video show. Because of that, Episode 50 is a little different. deKay, Kendrick and Zo were actually there, in person, on […]

It's time for Episode 49 and oh boy do we have what can only be described as "two and bit hours of noise" for you!

In this episode, deKay, Tim, Toby and Kendrick delight you with outstanding (but somewhat truncated compared to previous years) not-late-at-all E3 hot facts, chat about how much Bobby Kotick is worth dead or alive, Tencent's investment in Yager and why this is an important step for Chinese culture promotion (no, really), Switch download issues, XCloud, and the real reason you tune in: ZX Vega+ news!

Episode 48 of what is probably the only Yakuza based podcast worth listening to contains scenes of a Yakuza nature and listener discretion is advised.

This time, deKay, Kendrick and Choobs are joined by long time listener (he says but we know it's not true) and first time podcaster Orrah to force noises into your tympanic membranes that your brain interprets as chat about the new Evercade VS, the handheld-that-never-was ZX Vega+, the return (sort of) of Virtua Fighter, Divinity Original Sin 2 and Shin Megami Tensei III, and more DLC for Final Fantasy XIV.

Episode 47 of our podcast is guaranteed to the ONLY place you can find discussion about both a giant turtle penis AND VR vignetting.

Yes, we are a special sort of podcast that covers the hard topics others shy away from. As well as that, deKay, Kendrick, Toby and Luffer talk at length (and girth) about other game and tangentally-game topics like the cancellation of Amazon's Lord of the Rings game, Rome: Total War: Rome Remake, How Lightguns Work On The Switch, and we break out the party supplies to celebrate 10 years since the Big PSN Hack.

And some games what we have done played.

Episode 46 is a deviation from our usual podcasting format, by which I mean it's exactly the same nonsense as it always is. At least we're consistant!

In this episode, deKay, Kendrick, Tim and Luffer expel sounds from their orifaces which gently coalesce into some entertaining chat on the subjects of digital game stores (including the impending closure, or not, of parts of PSN), games being banned from digital game stores, free things on digital game stores, digital game store usage agreements, and things you could potentially buy on digital game stores in the future as well as things you may have already bought on digital game stores in the past. Frankly, Kendrick not being around for the Game News section of the episode is probably for the best. Also, we talk about Actual Video Games.

今日は! That's right, Episode 45 of the ugvm Podcast is in Japanese! Really poor Japanese! For all of 20 seconds after which deKay runs out of vocab and reverts to The King's English!

In this episode, deKay, Jaimie, Kendrick and Luffer fill your ears with vocal splurts covering such topics as the recent and long-awaited Nintendo Direct, EA and Codemasters Sitting In A Tree, gaming birthdays, the no-news about PSVR2, MiSTer, Apple and Epic Shenanigans, and SNK games on the Switch. Plus more chat about the continued lack of PS5s, and these wonderful and not-so-wonderful video games...

Well hello there 2021 fans! Episode 44 is here to blow away those January blues. Or provide more of them.

In this episode, deKay, Kendrick, Luffer and Toby have some Big Talks about the general lack of consoles on store shelves, Steve Jackson's (no, not that one) plans for new old games, and probably the most important console release of 2020 (and actually available to buy), the Evercade. A lot about the Evercade. In fact, if you don't want to hear about the Evercade then boy is this episode not for you. But there is other stuff, like the Analogue Mega Sg and Lots of Games.

As it's actual Christmas, we decided to give you a special Christmas episode of the podcast. We're so very, very sorry.

In Episode 43, deKay, Kendrick, Luffer and James not only talk about some recent gaming news like CD Projekt Red and the 32Blit handheld, but they also play An Actual Game in the form of a quiz devised by Luffer which we're definitely not calling Luffer's Bluffers. It's an utter shambles, rather like that time your dad forgot to turn the oven on and the turkey didn't get eaten until 3am on Boxing Day. As well as that aural horrorshow, we delight you with Game Chat.

Don't let the title of this episode fool you - we're all about the New Exciting Gaming Devices. All three of them! Yes, three. Count them if you don't believe us.

In Episode 42, deKay, Zo, Kendrick and Niaz completely fail to discuss Life, the Universe and Everything despite all being massive nerds, but instead talk all about the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 - the hardware, the news, the difficulty in finding one, and oh yeah, the games and why playing Geometry Wars and Sonic Adventure is The Thing To Do on the world's most powerful games console. There's some other bits of news too but honestly, it's mostly that. They did talk games though!

With more than three years of episodes in the bag, you'd have thought we'd have said all of the words about games by now, but apparently not as here is Episode 41 to prove it.

This time round, deKay (who is suffering from Man Flu or something, so please excuse his unusual voice), Jaimie, Toby and Luffer throw words about on subjects like the PS5 teardown and digital game transfers, Oculus and Facebook and how Bad Things Happen should you try to separate the two, and The State of Stadia. And some games, because that's the point of the podcast, I suppose.
