Well this is exciting! To celebrate 50 episodes of everyone’s favourite podcast with the letters u, g, v and m in it, we did a live video show! No, not that sort of live video show.

Because of that, Episode 50 is a little different. deKay, Kendrick and Zo were actually there, in person, on camera to natter about games, but in case you prefer to listen to us rather than look at us (which is very likely because, my word have you seen us?) we’ve made an audio only version available too.

In this episode, we talk about the Switch Pro, the Steam Deck, the Playdate, Denuvo, the Activision Blizzard stuff in the news, and Zo got an Xbox headset and wants to tell you all about it. As well as all that, we also spoke about these games:

• Animal Crossing New Horizons
• One Piece Pirate Warriors 4
• Alwa’s Legacy
• Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World
• Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart
• Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
• Tetris Effect
• Sonic Adventure
• Yakuza 0
• Phantasy Star Online 2 New Genesis
• Phantasy Star Online
• Sega Rally Revo

And, some LIVE QUESTIONS that came in as we recorded! Fresh. Oh, and Toby was an absolute legend being the buttons-and-knobs man behind the scenes.

It’s time for Episode 49 and oh boy do we have what can only be described as “two and bit hours of noise” for you!

In this episode, deKay, Tim, Toby and Kendrick delight you with outstanding (but somewhat truncated compared to previous years) not-late-at-all E3 hot facts, chat about how much Bobby Kotick is worth dead or alive, Tencent’s investment in Yager and why this is an important step for Chinese culture promotion (no, really), Switch download issues, XCloud, and the real reason you tune in: ZX Vega+ news! Oh, and these games:

• Forza Horizon 3
• Cities Skylines
• Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World
• LOVE – A Puzzle Box Filled with Stories
• Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
• Animal Crossing
• Alwa’s Awakening
• Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise
• Star Trek Online
• Dungeons and Dragons Dark Alliance
• Shin Megami Tensei III HD

Plus your questions answered, including the longest discussion on deKay’s favourite topic (toilets in video games) you’re likely to hear on a podcast any time soon.

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.
