What? It’s Christmas again already? Impossible. And yet – here we are with a festival shambles episode, with all the audio dropouts and edits only a True Christmas Shambles Episode could provide.

In Episode 66, deKay, Kendrick, Zo, Toby and Luffer talk about the Evercade EXP Special Edition theft, Ash Ketchum finally retiring from the world of Pokémon, the exciting announcement trailer for Armoured Core VI, and a few games:

• FIFA 23
• Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal
• Bayonetta 3
• Pokémon Scarlet

And then! The main event! Luffer has created one of his legendary games for Christmas and we attempt to play it. Apologies in advance for your ears. Oh god.

Don’t panic everyone, we’re here after all! October was, er, holiday month or something. Yeah, that’ll excuse the delay. Phew, eh?

In Episode 65, deKay, Toby and Kendrick cover the new Evercade EXP’s delay  but can’t remember the details, the Mega Drive Mini 2 but can’t remember the games on it,  Embracer shutting down a recent studio purchase, R-Type Tactics, and holy hell there’s no way Metroid Prime is 20 years old already. That would make use all very old gentlemen indeed. And we talk about some games wot we are been playing, such as:

• Gaiares
• Elden Ring
• Animal Crossing
• Fallout 3
• Fallout New Vegas
• Playdate games
• Grand Theft Auto V
• Valorant

Plus, some expertly answered listener questions from our expert question answering experts.

If you like a bit of history in your podcast, then by all means listen but it’s not really quality history content and, frankly, the game chat is better than that’s bad enough as it is. Fair warning!

In Episode 64, deKay, Kendrick, Orrah and Zo celebrate the Nintendo 64 for approximately three minutes, then move on to more modern things like Stuff Wot Happened At Tokyo Game Show and Some JRPG Only Kendrick Has Heard Of That Is Coming Out. Plus, being ugvm, we couldn’t help but talk about Yakuza. Several times, in fact.  If you have the play-at-home ugvm Drinking Game sheet, you’re probably best locking the liquor cabinet. Oh yeah, and some games:

• Yakuza Kiwami
• FIFA 23 Even Though It Wasn’t Out At Time Of Recording
• Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
• Harvestella
• Subnautica: Below Zero
• Expeditions: Rome
• Total War: Warhammer 3
• Medieval Dynasty
• Xenoblade Chronicles 3
• Animal Crossing
• Scream Collector
• Blaster Master Zero 3

And questions and waffles and nonsense. Same as it ever was.

Your regular, too long, tedious video game chat podcast is back! Episode 63 comes to you right now in this actual post! Don’t mess yourself.

In this episode, deKay, Kendrick and Toby tell you all about Embracer Group buying All the Things, Nintendo being the latest in a sadly long line of games companies with abusive and misogynistic working conditions, Anti-Pride Spider-Man mods, One Dungeons and Dragons, and some actual GAMES:

• Grand Theft Auto V
• Yakuza 5 (take two shots)
• Monster Bass
• Animal Crossing
• Anarcute
• Lord Winklebottom Investigates
• Arcade Paradise

And! Exclusive content! Where we answer some questions and probably forget the purpose of the podcast and talk about other stuff instead for a bit. You know, because it wasn’t long enough already.

We were going to record this a week earlier but the Earth was hotter than the actual surface of the Sun so that was deemed impossible, impractical, and far too sweaty. Instead, we recorded a week or so later. You’d not notice if I hadn’t just told you. And mentioned it in the episode.
