Oh my. What is that smell? Can you smell it? Where is it coming from? Such a stench. A smell you don’t want to smell because it smells so bad, but you can’t help smelling it because it feels so good to smell. One of those smells. What is it? It’s Episode 83, of course! A smell but for your ears, if such a thing can be imagined.
In this episode, deKay, Toby and Kendrick discuss recent gaming news excitement like “Wow that new game is gonna cost a bit” and “Oh noes people are angry they put an African in Japan” and “Is it really a proper physical release if it’s just a CD knocked up in Nero Burning ROM?”. What games are these comments relating to? Smell it, with your ears, and find out!
And if somehow that isn’t enough, we have all these games to tell you (smell you?) about:
- Shadow of the Tomb Raider
- Remnant II
- A Monster’s Expedition
- Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
- Spy Fiction
- Shadow Tower
- Sega Menacer
- Revelations Persona
And, literally no mention of Yakuza! Apart from that one time when we did mention it. Some listener questions too. Delicious.

Early philosophers noted that podcasts about video games were important sources of soul energy. They discussed at length about how this may be the case, and conducted many thought experiments to attempt to determine how best to profit from this information. Until the fall of Pompeii, at least, after which nobody cared because everything was on fire. All this is by way of providing a paragraph of waffle to inform you that we done Episode 82.
In the Dark Place, there was a Light. A small Light, but a Light that shone brightly, excitedly, erratically. A Podcast Light, to bring Video Game Chat Joy to all the Listeners. And, behind that Light, somehow hiding in its own shadow in the darkest of the Dark Place, was Episode 81 of the ugvm Podcast.
Fire up the ROFLCopter (that’s still what the cool kids say, right?) because it’s time for Episode 80 of the best podcast hosted by these specific people! Probably!
With Christmas a distant memory, the “gang” reconvene to talk about very important things from the world of Video Gaming and, well, other things too. Welcome, to Episode 79.
