Welcome back to the club! There are…a lot of reasons to feel overwhelmed right now. Probably least of which is the boatload of demos that were available during this summer’s Steam Next Fest. With over 2000 demos, it can be hard to know which games are worth being hype for, but that’s why you’re here! This week, Jesse Guarascia (https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:3dmrezf3ydcxcs62of6ict2b) and Dominic Tarason (https://bsky.app/profile/dominictarason.com) join the show to discuss the overwhelming nature of Steam Next Fest and point out some of our favorite games from the show. We have musical brawlers, turn-based dice games, and cursed antiques, so listen and fill that wishlist! Also, in the Whatcha Playin? Segment, Dominic talks about his time with Broken Arrow and The Hundred Line, Jessie talks about his time with The Alters, and Emmett talks about his time with Jump the Track and Resistance: Fall of Man.

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 season, 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 check out the latest Netflix Gundam product: Requiem for Vengeance. This computer-generated miniseries serves as a great starting point for those new to Gundam, and delivers a fairly suspenseful look at just how terrifying mobile suits can be! As always, SPOILERS AHEAD! Editor’s Note: We recorded this BEFORE episode 4, even. Like, I wanna say in March? So sorry for the dated references. Time gets away from us with recording and editing and posting. But thank you so much for listening! You can find us on BlueSky: Graydon - https://bsky.app/profile/graytlo777.b...
