You know the drill by now. We talk about games for a while and then we stop talking about games for a while. It’s not complicated. And we’ve now done that 37 times. You’d think someone would make us stop, but no!

In this episode, deKay, Luffer, Choobs and DrunkZo do the video game talking. Which just so happens to cover the PS5 reveal we cleverly avoided last time round, the Sega Astro-City Mini arcade thingy, Nintendo’s decision to stop shops selling first party digital game codes, and for some reason playing games on Linux and because we just didn’t know how to not do so, chat about Apple’s new hardware. And! Video! Games!

• The Last of Us
• The Last of Us 2: Last Harder
• The Outer Worlds
• Yakuza 0
• Behold the Kickmen
• Batman Arkham Asylum
• Elite Dangerous
• Dwarf Fortress
• Animal Crossing
• Doki Doki Literature Club
• Mr Driller DrillLand
• XCOM: Enemy Unknown

And some questions! From you! And you! And bah-bah-bah! (Sorry, Zo mentioned Jimmy Saville at one point).

Well hello there! It is time for Episode 36 of your least favourite podcast! We timed it specially so that it was impossible for us to watch the PlayStation 5 reveal, so if you’re expecting two hours of hot chat on that, jog on!

In this episode, deKay, Luffer, Kendrick and in his podcasting debut, Mal, talk about video games. Specifically, recent Sega announcements such as Fog Gaming and the Game Gear Micro, EA releasing source code, rumours around Persona and the Atari VCS, Intel’s stance on benchmarking, upcoming games, and all these:

• Animal Crossing
• Wulverblade
• Flowlines VS
• Island Saver
• Deliver Us The Moon
• The Outer Worlds
• The Room VR: A Dark Matter
• Picross Luna 2
• God Eater 3
• Daggerfall
• Moero Chronicles H
• Va-11 Hall-A
• Grim Dawn
• Final Fantasy XIV
• Minecraft Dungeons
• Left 4 Dead 2

And if that wasn’t enough, we answer some listener questions! And barely even mention Shenmue or Yakuza.

Just in case being locked down wasn’t driving you mad already, the ugvm Podcasting Team(TM) have only gone and done Episode 35 to assist with your decline. Lucky you!

In this non-infectious episode, deKay, Toby, Zo and Kendrick discuss the Actual Gameplay Footage (or lack of it) in the Xbox X Series SX X S stream, Things Happening In China (no, not that thing), more cancelled (and uncancelled) things, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, and Zombie Microprose. And other stuff of variable interest. Plus! Games! Including these!

• Animal Crossing: New Horizons
• Picross S2
• Flashback
• Skyrim
• Beat Saber
• Half-Life Alyx
• Carly and the Reaperman

In addition we have some terrible banter and your questions! Well, not your questions as you didn’t submit any even though we asked nicely. But there are questions from other people.

We had nothing else to do so we decided to record a podcast earlier than usual. So that’s great or terrible news for you, The Listener, depending on your opinions on us. Anyway – here’s Episode 34.

This episode, deKay, Luffer, Kendrick and Zo avoid the end of everything by chatting about the end of only certain things like The Last of Us 2 and Official Xbox Magazine (and games magazines in general). There’s more news about the Atari VCS (the new one that doesn’t exist), all of the PS5 specs (and that incredible… event), more sports going virtual, and all of these games:

• Animal Crossing: New Horizons
• Yakuza 0
• Yakuza 4
• Driveclub
• Family Tree
• Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
• Half-Life Alyx
• Elite Dangerous
• Star Trek: Bridge Crew

As well as chat about VR in general, the Neo Geo Mini, the RetroBit Retro Duo, and all the usual general waffle. Mmmm, waffles.

Everything is pretty grim, isn’t it? So adding something terrible to the pile is barely going to make a difference, right? In completely unrelated news, here’s Episode 33!

In this episode, deKay, Kendrick, Toby and Luffer try not to mention, but obviously end up having to mention because it’s EVERYWHERE, the coronavirus and its effects on gaming. There’s talk of Doom Eternal not quite impressing on Stadia, news of several remastered Westwood games getting releases soon, more chat about VR stuff because of course there is when Luffer and Toby are both on, and football. Yes, actual football. Or rather, lack of it. Who says we’re a video games podcast. Oh yeah, we do.

All that, and these games! Excite:

• Yakuza 0
• Yakuza 3
• Shenmue III
• A Short Hike
• Steam Home
• Eleven: Table Tennis
• Riverbond
• Ori and the Blind Forest
• Yoshi’s Wooly World
• Langrisser I + II
• Last Rebellion
• Lair of the Clockwork God
• Murder By Numbers

There’s also an unusually high amount of topic drift, as well as Important Listener Questions.

This episode’s intro music is from Murder by Numbers, composed by Masakazu Sugimori.
