Under Consoletation: The Video Game Television Podcast

Ash and Cliff go to the younger side of Good Game to check out what the spawnlings are into. They're taking a deep dive into the spin-off show aimed at younger gamers SPAWN POINT. Cliff will vent about Paper Mario, defend the Wii U, and gain another game to add to his 'to play pile'. Ash will end the episode still wondering what Pocket Planes are. It's a trip.

Greeetings!
Welcome to a new month of UCP fun as we dive back into a show that is one of our favourites, Good Game. We revisit Bajo and Hex, as they battle Hex's sugar zoomies, and Bajo's urge to find a game that is the perfect level of discovery, gameplay and storyline (SPOILERS: Nothing meets Goldie Locks needs).
The episode consists of arty explorer Proteus, epic JRPG Persona 4 Golden and FPS Crysis 3. As well as Goose taking Cliff and Ash to school to teach them what a Reboot is... Cliff Rant Incoming!

We're going back to GamesMaster! Kind of!

Ash and Cliff dive into Issue 2 of the magazine of the TV show from all the way back in January 1993. Cliff goes off schedule, Ash compares Ducks to Cheese, and some letter writers have strong feelings on Atari vs Commodore. It's all there in a standard magazine episode that should have been a nice gentle start to 2026, but really really wasn't.
