Under Consoletation: The Video Game Television Podcast

Ash digs into the engine shed containing the past of Densha De GO! Digging up vodka, peanuts and communism! Cliff drops in to talk Densha De GO! 64, and then there's a transfer back to the Ash Express for information on the series up until the present day, how to play it, and a valid reason for visiting Croydon.

Shuppatsu Shinkou!

Join Cliff and Ash as we rejoin a favourite of UCP, GameCenter CX.

This time The Chief... sorry... The Conductor is revisiting a game he failed on in series 17, Densha De GO!, but this time the greatest videogame challenge TV show of all time meets the greatest computer game console of all time, as Arino has to complete the N64 version of the game.
Apart from some Moon Cakes and a little visit of some early Super Famicom games, this is one big challenge episode. Why? Because Arino has made a movie... WHICH HE NEVER BRINGS UP IN THE EPISODE!

WHO'S. ON. BOARD?!?

Mortal Kombat has been a series steeped in kontroversy, both with its third game, the kontroversies became less about the violence, and more about the changes to the game itself. No Scorpion? No Raiden? Animalities? How many ribcages? Ultimate what-now?

Join Ash Versus as he takes a solo dive into some of the kontroversies that dogged the series for its third outing in this months UCP Focus.

Ash and Cliff are back with Princess Terra in the post-apocalyptic Portugal for another visit to CyberMaster! But this is a younger Terra, and she's in her Velour phase and has a pet cyborg called Kronos. Beyond that it's the same mixture of challenges, shouting, 90s editing, borderline fetishwear, and a creepy disembodied head threatening children.
Perfectly normal light entertainment.

DISCLAIMER: The Floppies this year should have been less of a technical nightmare, what with us being sat in the same room... and yet. And still. So this audio release represents the best effort to clean it up, remove the echo/reverb, and make it at least palatable to listen to. Cheers!

it's The Floppies 2026! Myself and Cliff get together in person to reveal the winners and the almost winners, discuss some of your feedback, and generally try and remember what it actually was we did during 2025.
