In the concluding second half of this special show, Sinan Kubba resumes his place in Jeremy Paxman’s chair, with special guests Richard Naik, Chi Kong Lui, and Brad Gallaway of GameCritics taking on the roles of nervous students alongside regular guest Joe DeLia.

In this first part of this two-part special show, Sinan Kubba takes the quizmaster’s seat to grill Gekkoukan University (special guests Brad Gallaway and Richard Naik from GameCritics) and Billy Lee Memorial College (special guest Chi Kong Lui of GameCritics and regular guest Joe DeLia) on their gaming knowledge to find out once and for all who are the Big Red University Challenge Champions of 2011.

Sinan Kubba hosts this QI-themed special which pits Xantiriad against special guests Tony Atkins and Alex Shaw of The Digital Cowboys. The guests try to answer nefarious and unfair questions, all while trying to be interesting enough to win points.

In this, the last Big Red Potion of 2009, Sinan Kubba and Joe DeLia have called upon 11 terrific podcasts and sites to contribute to the biggest Very Important Podcast of the year. The topic: the most overrated games of 2009. Featuring: Gamers with Jobs, Digital Cowboys, The Gamer Scene, Pink & Deadly, Sonic’s Ring, Cheat Code Central, Ninja Fat Pigeons, GamerNode, TheGameReviews, Dangerous Kids, and the SuperHappyFunTimeShow.

The UGN VIP special returns. This time Sinan Kubba and Joe DeLia are joined by UGN friends Ninja Fat Pigeon Xantiriad, GamerDork‘s Leon ‘Ratso’ Cox, and The Gamer Scene‘s Fly, as well as by special guest Jennifer Allen, games journo extraordinaire. The subject of contention: the best console evar made. Apologies for Sinan’s audio quality; he was forced into using a landline phone.  

Sinan Kubba and Joe DeLia are joined by returning Ninja Fat Pigeon Xantiriad and also by two special guests in the form of Frugal Gaming‘s Nory Smith and Darren Sinderby to talk about game economics from both an industry and consumer perspective.

In this, the second Big Red Potion special, Sinan Kubba chairs a not-so-serious debate between Joe DeLia, Ninja Fat Pigeon Xantiriad, Cranky Gamer Dits Symeou, Frugal Gaming‘s Lee, and WiiDS host James Batchelor on what is the very best Mario game of all time.

Joe DeLia chairs a podcast recorded live at this year’s E3. He’s joined by the core of the TheGameReviews team, including editorial director Eddie Inzauto, editor-in-chief John Laster, and site owner Ben Fisher to talk about the relevance of the expo.
