Do you hear that sound? Can you feel it? The cool ocean breeze in your hair, the salt on your tongue. It’s the smooth crash of KVGM “The Last Wave”, with your host, Hammock.

Welcome to the first show of 2025, as we enter our seventh year of broadcasting the smoothest video game jams on the planet. We got everything from clubhouse coffee breaks to boring flight simulators to soccer to TMI (if you know, you know). Thanks again for all the support of the show over the years and here’s to another great one full of memories and dirty visual novels.

We close out the year with some maxing and relaxing jams from the PC but also the PC and an extra special PC track. Oh yeah, and a PC jam that will leave you needing a fresh pair of panties. Plus something from the Wii, a lost N64 game, and the Super Family Computer. Happy holidays! Happy new year! Good luck!
