Blood is the unintentional theme of this episode, not just in the titles and contents of the games but also in that it’ll make your ears bleed. Maybe? Frankly, I wouldn’t risk it. All that mess for no real benefit, and we wouldn’t want a lawsuit on our hands anyway.

However, should you decide to listen against our strong advice not to, you will find that deKay, Toby, Kendrick and (Fresh Blood) Harry have prepared some tasty meats to sate you. Discussion about the coming Season 2 of Playdate games, rumours about the new PlayStation handheld console (and, relatedly, the PS6), Ys/Trails in the Sky crossover remake shenanigans, and the death of PS+ Stars, the rewards scheme you’ve never heard of until just now. Plus, additional snacks in the form of these games:

• Cannonball
• Lode Runner
• Capcom Fighting Collection 2
• Lunar Remastered
• Bloodborne: The Old Hunters
• Natsu-Mon: 20th Century Summer Kid
• Blue Prince
• Famicom Detective Club
• Prey
• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
• RoboCop: Rogue City

And all that before we even treat you to Our Vast Collective Knowledge when answering your questions!

Look, March was a bad month, OK? We didn’t do an episode and we know that made you all sad but it can’t be helped. What’s done is done. Water under the bridge. A delicious chocolate river slurped up by a fat German child while a man in a silly suit watches in glee. We just can’t do anything about it. Except press on with another episode and some lickable wallpaper.

In Episode 92 dem mans deKay, Orrah and the unlikely-y named “Kendrick” have Switch 2 Real Actual Facts to tell you about, the surprise everyone expected release of Oblivion: We Made It Pretty Edition, a new Star Wars game, and one of us has bought a new console. Who and what? You have to listen to find out! While you’re listening, you should also hear words about these games and more!

It’s time for Episode 91, so get yourself some warm cocoa, wrap yourself in a woolly slanket and sit by the fireplace to listen to the wireless. Then realise that the Temu slanket you bought isn’t made of actual wool, is melting, and you’ve just made yourself a hot plastic coffin. Ah well.

In this most episodey of episodes, deKay, Toby and Kendrick chat about The Recertification of Balatro (one of Mariah Carey’s lesser known albums), Netease oozing staff, Warner Brothers, er, also oozing staff, and putting David Cage in a box.

Everyone hates January, don’t they? All that nasty weather and month-long mince-pie hangover and constantly writing the previous year by mistake on anything you have to date. So, here comes one more thing about January for you to despise and detest – Episode 90 of the ugvm Podcast!

In this episode, deKay, Toby and Kendrick talk about the earth-shaking revelations that Nintendo’s Switch 2 reveal brought, the excitement of Moar Doom and the rest of the Xbox Developer Event Thing, Sega being Ubisoft and letting you give all your data to them in return for… well, not much, and Dan Tedium (or something) having a radio show. For our younger listener, a radio show is like a podcast but it’s on at a specific time. PLUS! We talk about GAMES! Including:

• Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi
• Wizardry Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord
• Freedom Wars Remastered
• Phogs
• Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Torna: The Golden Country
• Miss Rosen’s Wowtastic! Marching Band
• Elite Dangerous
• Indiana Jones and Metal Gear Solid V: The Great Circle
• Hi-fi Rush

And other things. Plenty for you to hate, eh?

It’s only ruddy Christmas again! That means we’ve done something a bit different to usual, deciding to not tell you what we’ve been playing!

Instead, deKay, Kendrick and Orrah will regale you with tales of Christmasseseses past interspersed with stories from other members of the EUU (Extended ugvm Universe).

We also chat a bit about the Switch 2, the Video Game Awards, and Yuletide Job Losses, just so we can tick a few other boxes.
