Under Consoletation: The Video Game Television Podcast

Hi-Def Hi-5! We're back with the VGN Crew for February as we look at the freshly launched New New 3DS New XL New and Majora's Mask 3D (also new). Does Cliff have a nubbin? Is Ash ready to talk about Escape from Camp Deadly? Is Cliff going to give himself a hernia over incomplete Ocarina songs? The answers are no, no and yes, but don't let that put you off listening as Cliff and Ash re-join the Vid...

For our first Focus episode, we pick up from where we left off with GB Genjin/Bonks Adventure on the Gameboy and expand our focus to the entire PC Genjin/Bonk oeuvre. From his debut titles on the PC Engine to his cancelled titles for the 7th generation of console hardware, we look back at the little mascot who almost could. Join the conversation on Discord !

Happy New Year from 2024 and 2010! Season 2 of Under Consoletation kicks off with a trip to the other side of the world as we look at the long running Japanese videogame challenge tv show GAMECENTER CX, and their January 2010 episode on STREET FIGHTER 2010: THE FINAL FIGHT. Is it Ken or Kevin? How badly will we pronounce names? Has Cliff watched Avatar? Can Chief Arino stuff his balls in a pigs mo...

Ash & Cliff are in Crinkley Bottom, Luke got lost somewhere near Dangley End, Uri Gellar is bending spoons, the Spice Girls are being menaces, and oh look; Cricket. For Christmas 2023 we go back to 1996 and the 'Christmas?' episode of Noels House Party, looking at a show trying to hold on to its place at the top of Saturday nights. Can it succeed? Well.... Watch the episode being discussed HER...

One from the vaults, as Luke and Ash have some Sonic Baja Mountain Dew Christmas Blast shoved violently into their eye sockets: Merry Christmas one and all! And we hope you have an EXTREMELY special Christmas, or should that be BLASTLY special Christmas? Either way, we're sorry you have to listen to this. Hosted on Acast.

We could have covered The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, Silver Nemesis, Scream of the Shalka OR The Day of the Doctor to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of a television legend... BUT NO! Suffering is Art and Art is Suffering so Ash made Cliff watch the 1993 Children in Need Eastenders X Doctor Who mashup 'Dimensions in Time'. 5 Doctors, 12 Companions, 13 EastEnders... 0 coherent plot. Help us bu...

Back in the summer of 2022, Ash invited Cliff to record an episode of UCP Extra in the midst of an insane heatwave. The sweaty, sweary and chaotic mess is now available for the first time in public:  Whilst Luke is away, Ash will play... Nintendo! Except not Nintendo, because that would be product placement and that's a big no-no now.  So whilst covering this piece of entertainment that...

As a Halloween treat, lets revisit one from the crypts, when Ash & Luke have a right old Knightmare of a time at Castle Dunhelm, and a fresh trio of dungeoneers find themselves in a bit of a pickle. The storm is raging outside, but the fire is warm and adventure is in the air... Spellcasting; L I S T E N (Preferably in Stereo) And don't forget to lend an ear to Temporal Discussion, who are see...

To celebrate SPOOKY SEASON (and to keep this RSS feed alive during the downtime between the end of Under Consoletation and the launch of UCP next year), here is a previously Patreon-exclusive episode where Luke and Ash - happy as can be - review The Raggy Dolls episode "The Dark Wood. Which features animals being hanged and a guy getting killed by a bear trap. FOR KIDS. Help us build future 'UCP L...
