The third episode of Spam Spam Spam Humbug, the Ultima Codex podcast, is now live, and is also available here for download. In this episode, we take a look at the fact that reducing something to raw numbers isn’t necessarily the best way to appreciate its beauty. Or, to put it another way, Kotaku commits journalism with a grand article about the Homeworld Remastered soundtrack. Also discussed are useful Windows applications, encryption software, and sundry other gaming topics.

Always remember: if you’d like to recommend anyone for a shout-out, send an email my way…which you can also do to suggest podcast topics, offer commentary or criticism about podcast episodes, and/or to volunteer your time as either an occasional or regular contributor to podcast sessions.

As well, if you haven’t already, you should totally sign on with the Ultima Dragons group on Facebook, or with the Ultima Dragons community on Google+. The Facebook group is easily the larger and more lively, but that just means that the Google+ one needs a few more members posting content there on a more regular basis.

Finally, there’s the Ultima Codex Patreon. A $10 pledge will get you access to Spam Spam Spam Humbug episodes the day before they go live here on the site, and you’ll be helping me both maintain and — with sufficient funding — expand the server infrastructure of the Codex to better deliver all the things you come looking for thereat.
