VGU.TV Podcasts

It's the holiday season again! So we at VGU are giving you 12 days of content across our Youtube, website, and podcast feed.

On the third day of VGU, the crew gave to you: a new VGU Jeopardy episode entirely about Spongebob!

Of course, because of some problems recording, it also became a side game where we get to know Emmett a little better too! So grab some hot chocolate, a krabby patty, and sit by the fire and enjoy this F.U.N. episode!

You ready for this, playa?

Welcome back to the club! This episode has Emmett and Al joined by Graydon to discuss our predictions for the 2023 Game Awards. Will Zelda or Baulder’s Gate 3 sweep the whole show? Was 2023 even a good year for video games? Is Dave the Diver even an indie game? Well, no, but the answers to those first 2 questions will be given in this show!

Well, it sure as hell has been long enough, so you better get ready! We have returned with another episode of the Player’s Club Podcast and this time we’re celebrating 4 years of VGU.TV! This means we got the gang back together, which means Al and Emmett are joined again by Josh and Graydon! They're all reunited to revisit their promise to each play through a different video game franchise. Have we played all the games we said we would? Find out in this episode!

Also, we give some recommendations of games from 2023 that we want to highlight that haven’t been discussed as much as the Spider-Man 2’s and Zelda’s of the world. Come here about our favorite indies and AA games that few are talking about!

As of August 31, 2023, the creators of Red Faction, Saints Row, and more, Volition, has closed after 20 years of service. The company and the developers that worked there were responsible for some of our favorate games here at VGU.TV, so we wanted to stop and talk about thier legacy a bit.

They had pretty humble beginings and some fascinating stops along there road to sucess, but ultimately, factors outside of their control led to their demise. But what were those factors? What were our favorate games from Volition? Ans how do we thing it could have gone differently? Well, Graydon, Al, and Emmett are here to talk about all that and more in this special episode.

What better way to end Hypertime to Podcast than with a legend. George Perez is synonymous with comics whether it his work on books like Crisis on Infinite Earths or Future Imperfect. His characters he helped create whether it the Titans or White Tiger. But the thing he should most be remembered for, is who he was as a person.

So join Josh in the Hypertime, one more time, as he discusses the late and great, George Perez.
