97Welcome back to the Club! Hope you enjoyed the GotY podcasts because the proper show is back on! Emmett is back with Al and Graydon, and we are all looking forward to the new year of 2025 and asking…Is Gaming Cooked? Everyone has their hopes resting in the games of Grand Theft Auto VI and Switch 2, but will they be enough to stop layoffs and corporate greed running rampant in the games industry? We’ll ask that and more in this week's episode. In the Watcha Playin segment, Emmett talks about his time with Eternal Strands and Alien Rage, Al talks about their time with Avowed and Halo: The Master Cheif Collection, and Graydon talks about his time with Epic Mickey. • Timestamps • Start 00:00 • TotS: Is Gaming Cooked? 11:12 • Sony in 2025 (State of Play Recap) 11:41 • Nintendo (Switch 2) 54:27 • Microsoft (Xbox AI) 1:14:00 • Games Were Looking forward to in 2025 1:40:07 • Al Bought Too Many Games Again (ft.

99Episode 3 – Char’s Counterattack (‘88) & Hathaway (‘21) | O Say Can UC? A Beginner’s Guide to Gundam
Welcome to VGU Gaiden! Hosted by Graydon Webb and DJ Risio, this retrospective film podcast follows two best friends as they share their favorite films with each other and revisit what makes them special (or in some cases, really weird). This month, the lads are diving into the original Gundam series - its compilation films - and even some newer works in the franchise! Join Gundam expert DJ as he informs Graydon of everything Newtype to Neo Zeon. Can he make a fan out of this newbie? On today's episode, we’re back where we started: Char’s Counterattack! DJ committed heresy and showed Graydon CCA way before any of these other films. But now, with some more knowledge under both their belts, the boys are revisiting this timeless classic! Also included: Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway, the latest installment in the UC timeline. How does modern Gundam compare to the OG’s? Let’s find out! As always, SPOILERS AHEAD!
