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.

And if those games weren’t enough, we talked about Even More Games:

• Hellpoint
• Phantasy Star Online 2
• Animal Crossing
• Star Trek Online
• Yakuza Kiwami 2
• Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
• Tales of Vesperia
• Subnautica: Below Zero
• Mass Effect Legendary Edition
• Elite Dangerous: Odyssey
• Monster Hunter Rise

And, as an added pre-order bonus, some listener questions and the usual derailing!

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:

• Bard’s Tale IV
• Hellpoint
• Sid Meier’s Civilization series (and book)
• Kids
• Animal Crossing
• Kunai
• Immortals: Fenyx Rising
• There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension
• Syberia
• Wreckfest
• Circuit Superstars
• Pixel Puzzle

And! Other stuff! Because we can’t stay on topic even if we try! That, and we answer YOUR questions.

*Guarantee void in Tennessee

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:

• Red Dead Redemption 2
• Hexceed
• Yakuza 4 (drink!)
• Yakuza Kiwami 2 (drink!)
• Super Monaco GP I and II
• Darkest Dungeon
• Vaporum
• 50 Cent Blood on the Sand
• Uniracers
• Nintendoland
• Shenmue 2 (drink!)
• Mr Driller Drill Land
• Wreckfest
• Fire ‘n Ice
• One Piece Pirate Warriors 3

Plus some deviancy to offset the digital game store stuff with talk about physical game media stores and, well, it’s mostly about postage costs again. Sorry. But we then answer all the questions from you, kind and caring listener. Oh, and we won’t tell you about the hours of setup necessary to get Tim’s microphone working for this episode, but we hope you appreciate the effort.

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:

• Ni No Kuni 2
• Immortals Fenyx Rising
• Syberia 2
• Syberia 3
• Animal Crossing
• River City Ransom
• The Witcher 3
• Red Dead Redemption 2
• Hexceed
• Yakuza 4 Remastered
• Yakuza Like a Dragon
• Golden Axe Beast Rider

Plus some random stuff including an in-depth explanation about how to squeeze up to 7 Raspberry Pis into a Commodore Amiga. I mean, it’s why you tune in, right?

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 All These Games:

• Yakuza Kiwami
• Yakuza Like a Dragon
• Among Us
• Picross Luna 2
• Pixel Puzzle
• Destiny 2
• Half Life Alyx
• Monster Hunter Rise
• Deadly Premonition 2
• Animal Crossing
• Shantae and the Seven Sirens
• Syberia

Deviations come in the form of general Wayforward chat, whether China still has an emperor or not, and how to fix your broken sticks of RAM in an oven. No, really. Oh, and the lady who did the singings on River City Girls was very talented Megan McDuffee – deKay forgot it in the moment.
