ugvm Podcast
Four (usually) old men from Great Britain (mostly) talk about video games! They've been playing since the 1970s and most of them are wrong about everything! Thrill to the excitement of the Usenet newsgroup known as uk.games.video.misc, from the early days of the Internet before social media! With your host deKay and a rotating cast of thousands! (Presenters subject to change without notice.)

98: There Were No Ramekins 22.12.2025 1:20:06
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? Of course not. You don't listen to the podcast so why would some random jangling entertain you, eh? But do listen, because it's only bloody Christmas again! In Episode 98, deKay and Kendrick chat about some The Game Awards stuff, Half Life 3 (or not), and games!
97: I’m Feeling A Bit Squiffy 27.11.2025 2:08:28
G'morrow beautiful friends! Here to waft away the damp, darkened skies of the season (or maybe make them damper and darker), it's Episode 97 of the ugvm Podcast. The podcast you love to subscribe to but hit skip when it comes up on the playlist. Yeah, we know. It's OK. We don't get paid either way. In this episode, deKay, Kendrick and Toby "entertain" you with fun game related news and chat, which...
96: Magic Beans 10.10.2025 2:06:34
What is this word "late" which you are saying? I do not recognise it and I do not understand it and I do not wish to believe it exists! Episode 96 cannot be late, for it was never scheduled. Sir, you embarrass yourself. Arguments about timetabling aside, we would like to invite you to enjoy this most recent (at time of typing) episode of your favourite podcast! deKay, Kendrick and Orrah huddled ro...
95: Bother Me Anatomically 29.08.2025 1:38:20
Unforeseen circumstances, and definitely not Podcast Apathy, resulted in just deKay and Kendrick bringing you this episode, but don't worry! As a bonus to make up for the cast shortfall, Episode 95 is slightly shorter, so you've less to endure! Rejoice. This time around, your heroes discuss the general meh-ness of recent gaming news, the Switch 2 having no games, a new Lego Batman (and Batman in g...
94: Secrete Yellow Ooze From Their Knees 16.07.2025 2:09:07
Another period of time has passed, bringing with it news of both digital wonders and corporate woes! Join us as the ugvm podcast team unpacks the latest in gaming, from unexpected purchases to industry shake-ups. That was a terrible pair of inaccurate sentences brought to you by an AI analysis of our podcast and we're very sorry. In this episode, deKay, Toby, and Orrah are on hand to guide you thr...
93: A Playdate In The Back Room of Ann Summers 28.05.2025 2:11:29
Blood is the unintentional theme of this episode, not just in the titles and contents of the games but also in that it'll make your ears bleed. Maybe? Frankly, I wouldn't risk it. All that mess for no real benefit, and we wouldn't want a lawsuit on our hands anyway. However, should you decide to listen against our strong advice not to, you will find that deKay, Toby, Kendrick and (Fresh Blood) Har...
92: You Do Realise You Can Take The Discs Out 25.04.2025 2:13:47
Look, March was a bad month, OK? We didn't do an episode and we know that made you all sad but it can't be helped. What's done is done. Water under the bridge. A delicious chocolate river slurped up by a fat German child while a man in a silly suit watches in glee. We just can't do anything about it. Except press on with another episode and some lickable wallpaper. In Episode 92 dem mans deKay, Or...
91: Slippers Go Under Defeat 26.02.2025 2:10:37
It's time for Episode 91, so get yourself some warm cocoa, wrap yourself in a woolly slanket and sit by the fireplace to listen to the wireless. Then realise that the Temu slanket you bought isn't made of actual wool, is melting, and you've just made yourself a hot plastic coffin. Ah well. In this most episodey of episodes, deKay, Toby and Kendrick chat about The Recertification of Balatro (one of...
90: One Lukewarm Pant 29.01.2025 1:54:21
Everyone hates January, don't they? All that nasty weather and month-long mince-pie hangover and constantly writing the previous year by mistake on anything you have to date. So, here comes one more thing about January for you to despise and detest - Episode 90 of the ugvm Podcast! In this episode, deKay, Toby and Kendrick talk about the earth-shaking revelations that Nintendo's Switch 2 reveal br...
89: Take a Shilling 20.12.2024 1:29:21
It's only ruddy Christmas again! That means we've done something a bit different to usual, deciding to not tell you what we've been playing! Instead, deKay, Kendrick and Orrah will regale you with tales of Christmasseseses past interspersed with stories from other members of the EUU (Extended ugvm Universe).
88: Glorious Banana Portal 27.11.2024 1:51:14
Quake with fear as the most fearsome video gaming podcast that you fear comes to fear you right up in your (f)ears! Fear the words! Fear the sounds! Fear everything. Fear Fear Fear: It's in the Fear. Oh wait, we're a month late for Halloween. Ignore all that then, and sit back and enjoy Episode 88 where deKay, Toby and Orrah have a lovely wee chat about the usual sort of things we have lovely wee...
87: Harvest Dune 30.10.2024 2:03:57
Did you miss us? Because we sure missed you -insert-heart-emoji-! But you can dry your -insert-eyes-emoji- because we're back with Episode 87 and oh what a lovely time we had -insert-microphone-emoji- recording it for you. You'd think after a break we'd have more game -insert-newspaper-emoji- to tell you but actually all we've got is An Actual Show Report From ComicCon (And the ghost of EGX), and...
86: Roblox Social Engineering and Other Pursuits 19.08.2024 41:57
A new challenger approaches! In this special episode of the ugvm podcast, Hazel and Toby discuss Roblox's Berry Avenue, the perfect hangout spot when you're tired of reality and just want to vibe with some oblong people. They've both been playing Dress to Impress, where fashion isn’t just about looking good—it’s about winning. And if you've ever dreamed of leading a clan of fierce felines, Warrior...
85: My First Brand New Chainsaw 31.07.2024 1:59:38
Sneaking in just before the tail of the month like some sort of ninja in audio form, it's time for Episode 85 of that podcast you subscribed to that time and you keep intending on listening to it but you're a busy person and other podcasts keep filling your app and it's OK, we know you love us anyway even without your ears. This time, deKay, Kendrick and Toby tell each other, and you, our listener...
84: Old Men Who Repeat Themselves 28.06.2024 1:49:03
Exciting news this episode as one of us has played a game that only came out in the last few weeks. See if you can guess who, and which game it was! Also, don't forget to play the Official ugvm Drinking Game (if it is safe and legal to do so) as you listen, and try to beat our high scores! In Episode 84, deKay, Toby and Kendrick somehow manage to convene despite technical and Real Life issues doin...
83: I Don’t Need Your Stinkin’ Uncharted Games 22.05.2024 2:05:00
Oh my. What is that smell? Can you smell it? Where is it coming from? Such a stench. A smell you don't want to smell because it smells so bad, but you can't help smelling it because it feels so good to smell. One of those smells. What is it? It's Episode 83, of course! A smell but for your ears, if such a thing can be imagined. In this episode, deKay, Toby and Kendrick discuss recent gaming news e...
82: Push Me Pull You 23.04.2024 1:53:19
Early philosophers noted that podcasts about video games were important sources of soul energy. They discussed at length about how this may be the case, and conducted many thought experiments to attempt to determine how best to profit from this information. Until the fall of Pompeii, at least, after which nobody cared because everything was on fire. All this is by way of providing a paragraph of w...
81: Please Be Good Please Be Good Please Be Good 27.03.2024 2:06:47
In the Dark Place, there was a Light. A small Light, but a Light that shone brightly, excitedly, erratically. A Podcast Light, to bring Video Game Chat Joy to all the Listeners. And, behind that Light, somehow hiding in its own shadow in the darkest of the Dark Place, was Episode 81 of the ugvm Podcast. In this episode, deKay, Toby, Kendrick and Choobs eventually get round to talking about video g...
80: That’s Called Cabbaging Them 28.02.2024 1:53:21
Fire up the ROFLCopter (that's still what the cool kids say, right?) because it's time for Episode 80 of the best podcast hosted by these specific people! Probably! In this episode, deKay, Kendrick and Toby stroke their variously hirsute chins and ponder Games, The Multiplatformverse and Everything, including such topics as Microsoft releasing games for the PS5 and Switch (or not), Microsoft aband...
79: How Many Polygons Do You Need For A Cloaca? 24.01.2024 2:14:51
With Christmas a distant memory, the "gang" reconvene to talk about very important things from the world of Video Gaming and, well, other things too. Welcome, to Episode 79. In this episode, deKay, Kendrick, Choobs and Toby complain about money-grabbing Sega, talk about yet more game development studios letting staff go, YAJTTWG (Yet Another Journey To The West Game - Black Myth Wukong), the myste...
78.5: A New Year History Lesson 31.12.2023 5:53
With the stars unable to align for the production of an episode this December, Kendrick has recorded a little something for you all about ugvm, usenet, the universe and everything.
78: A Very Gamey Game 21.11.2023 2:05:02
What the listener didn't expect, was to discover that most of the podcast seemed to be about things that had nothing to do with the games mentioned in the usual list of topics. "How queer," they said. "How very, very queer". Episode 78 brings together the talking force of deKay, Kendrick, Orrah and Toby and they use their powers to speak words on subjects such as Embracer's employee cull, Creative...
77: Boot Soup 20.10.2023 1:33:36
It is with great pleasure that we present to you our most newest edition (until the next one, anyway) of the world-beloved ugvm Podcast! Warm your toes by the fire of Episode 77. For it is indeed a fire. In a bin. In this exciting episode, deKay, Kendrick and Luffer try very hard to fill the required number of minutes with such diverse topics as Formula E's foray into the NFT/blockchain game, an u...
76: Truth of Poo 28.09.2023 2:01:26
There are very few certainties in this world, but one of them is guaranteed disappointment in your ears when you listen to a new episode of the ugvm Podcast. Like this one, Episode 76! This time, deKay, Toby and Kendrick break with established norms and talk about games. Oh, wait, no. That's what they usually do. OK, have some Action Man chat instead - that's not been covered before. Plus, news ab...
75: Anime as Butts 24.08.2023 1:45:42
Kerpow! It's Episode 75 slapping you in the ears like a slappy thing slapping things! In this episode, deKay, Kendrick and Toby talk about Exciting Things At Gamescom, or rather, lack of them, Major Nelson Major Rumours, the PlayStation Portal (neé Q) handheld thing, YABOABH (Yet Another Bit of Atari Branded Hardware), or the Atari 2600+ and who exactly it is for, Sega buying Rovio, dad of Angry B...
