Hark! A podcast! Verily, the ugvm gentlemen have returned with dulcet voices and witty repartee in Episode 74.

In this episode, deKay, Kendrick and Toby partake in discussion of such things as Ubisoft deleting accounts, Valorant Premier Season 2, Baten Kaitos, Super Pocket – the Evercade that isn’t an Evercade, and for some reason, Skibidi Toilet. Well why not. Naturally, we talk about the fun, and not so fun, games we’ve been playing which include:

• Code Vein
• Yakuza 3 (drink!)
• Phantasy Star Online 2
• Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
• Kimono Friends
• Project-X Special Edition
• Alien Breed Special Edition ’92
• Advance Wars 1+2
• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
• Halo Infinite

Plus! More! You know how this goes down, as we get sidetracked more than once. Why aren’t there good single-player story-based FPS games any more? What game lets you urinate on people? Answers and more inside!

In a faraway land, in a shady wooded glade, the Podcast Pixies live. Their existence is a simple, peaceful one. Or was. Because here comes Episode 73 like a Rat King of chainsaws to take down their forest and build condos (whatever they are) or something.

In this episode, deKay, Kendrick and Toby talk about the recent EA Games split news, the Real Actual Olympics doing eSports, and Nintendo’s Not-E3 Direct. There are also tangents galore with Steam Box and Steam Deck chat (if you’re a fan of game installers and Linux, you might want to sit on a towel) and only a handful of references to submarines. Plus, the real meat: Games. Like these games!

• Barotrauma
• Moo Moo Move
• The Legend of Zelda: Tears/Tears of the Kingdom
• Bus Simulator ’21
• Wheel of Fortune
• Daggerfall Unity
• Code Vein

We can guarantee no other podcast has this selection of quality, modern, mainstream titles in their show notes.

And there’s more! Soil yourself with pleasure over video convertor discussion, and other questions from our listener.

“Dammit, Link” cursed Zelda, “Just jump! You’ve got a bloody parachute!”. Link didn’t answer. He never did. Zelda kicked him over the edge. “Father was right”, she said.

Episode 72! This time, deKay, Kendrick and Zo discuss the fortuitously timed (for once) Sony Not-E3 Presentation and the games therein, Kendrick’s new telephone (look, we’re short of content), and Nintendo being sued because of lootboxes in Mario Kart Tour. And we played some games! Including these ones:

• Doctor Who: An Unlikely Heist/Hidden Mysteries
• Advance Wars 1+2
• The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
• Control
• Lyrica and Lyrica 2 Stars Align
• Afterimage
• Fantasy Zone Complete Collection
• Tales of Zestiria

And, for some reason, we talk about food in video games which naturally, of course, leads to books and videos about countries that no longer exist and abortion rights. We don’t make the rules. (We do make the rules).

“Welcome to Episode 71”, said the creepy man at the gate in the torn and dirty mouse suit, between puffs on his dogeared cigarette. “Enjoy your stay”.

Another episode already? Who thought that would be a good idea?

In this episode, deKay, Kendrick and Toby put their lips to their microphones and aurally kiss them with such delicious topics as Starfield being exclusive to Microsoft-related Gaming Platforms, Call of Duty on the Switch, Counterstrike 2 (already? Only seems like weeks since the last one), the Evercade EXP and! Startling observations from and/or about these actual video games! It’s like we almost know what we’re doing.

• Animal Crossing (with some BIG NEWS)
• Ori and the Blind Forest
• Metroid Fusion
• Vostok Inc
• Pikmin Bloom
• The C64 Mini
• Procession to Calvary
• Like a Dragon: Ishin

Plus other stuff like what we normally do. Listen, yes?
