Upland Down Under Podcast: No.030 - A FROSTY FLOP! [29th Feb 2024]
Thursday Feb 29, 2024
Thursday Feb 29, 2024
On tonight’s show, we caught up on the Upland market floors, checked in on the Neighborhood Ratings for February one last time, Upland's Official Racing Series has kicked off, and we’ve had the Frost Season Pass Week Four drops come through. The main topic for tonight's show was ‘The ice-cold frosty flop’, unpacking the potential what and why of Upland's first-ever exclusive ornament shop owner's sale failing so spectacularly. I also had a Metaverse Spotlight on details surrounding reaching my goals for aggressively downsizing my account, without destroying it. But wait, that’s not all! We had a QIPS about the current map assets market, and another about Vehicle transportation. And of course we took a look at another Upland community member Spotlight care of the Dynamic Node Builders team, and I gave away 30,000UPX, a Samurai Aquatics Map Asset, and four awesome Rustic Well map assets from the sponsor of tonight’s show, Kushal089 and his metaventure Rustic Arts at 7754 Jellico Avenue, in Los Angeles. All that and more on this week's Upland Down Under Podcast! L8R.

On this week’s show, cryptocurrency markets embrace a huge surge, a $80 million crypto war chest targets US politics, the latest Upland sale gets terminated, concerns raised over AI surveillance and potential election-rigging deepfakes, China's crackdown on blockchain and metaverse crimes, massive NBA Top Shot NFT scam, and five unique Web3 games set to revolutionize online gaming in 2024. Plus, as always, we ground ourselves with some real-world insights with a few doses of reality from the Meatsuitaverse.

Upland Down Under Podcast: No.029 - HASTA LA VISTA! [22nd Feb 2024]
Thursday Feb 22, 2024
Thursday Feb 22, 2024
On tonight’s show, we caught up on the Upland market floors, checked in on the Neighborhood Ratings for February, went over the announcement about private transportation and tomorrow morning's MV Motors Car Sale, and this weekend’s first-ever exclusive Ornament Shop Owners Sale! The main topic for tonight was a very self-indulgent rant, addressing the rumor that I’m cashing out of Upland. To wind down and away from all that we had a QIPS about potential bull runs, we took a look at another Upland community member Spotlight care of the Dynamic Node Builders team, and I gave away 20,000UPX, a Samurai Aquatics Map Asset, and four awesome Rustic Well map assets from the sponsor of tonight’s show, Kushal089 and his metaventure Rustic Arts at 7754 Jellico Avenue, in Los Angeles.

In this week's episode, we navigated through the twists and turns of the cryptocurrency landscape, highlighting Justin Sun's Ethereum spree and Lark Davis's bullish Bitcoin forecast. The metaverse realm is expanding with Upland's innovative social hubs and Forbes' leap into The Sandbox. AI's role in reshaping the workforce echoes the transformation brought by the internet, NFT domain has a landmark sale, and Japan's gaming industry is on the brink of a Web3 renaissance, merging tradition with cutting-edge technology. Plus, we provided some real-world context with our usual doses of reality from the Meatsuitaverse.

Upland Metaverse: THE VULGAR UPLANDER!
Saturday Feb 17, 2024
Saturday Feb 17, 2024
In this episode, I had an awesome time chatting with Upland community member L_Slack, who is also an Upland content creator via his YouTube channel THE VULGAR UPLANDER. Although our Upland experience and journeys to date are quite different, L_slack and I share an interesting variety of traits and interests, one of which should be pretty obvious straight off the bat is enjoying speaking our minds freely and having a natural inclination to incorporate lots of four-letter words into our dialogue.
Between that description, the thumbnail, and the standard disclaimer, you should now understand that the following conversation is probably not safe for work, etc. L_slack and I dived into a wide variety of Upland-related topics, including, of course, his journey into Upland, what he’s most passionate about in the game, his related frustrations, and hopes and plans for his future in the space, and some contemporary Upland events and features. We also discuss his content creation process and focus, speaking of which, make sure you click the link to his YouTube channel in the description, like and subscribe, and all that good stuff.
Anyhow, with all that being said, it’s great to kick this particular podcast series off again on my new laptop with such a fun chat, hopefully, I managed to get the previous audio issues fixed up for this one. So sit the hell down and shut the fuck up as L_Slack and I explore getting vulgar in ‘The Metaverse and Fucking Beyond!’.

In this week's episode, we observed Bitcoin's significant ascent over $50K and Upland's strategic exposure in a Forbes article. The metaverse has taken a thrilling turn with Fortnite's collaborative venture with Disney, and OpenAI presented a groundbreaking $7 trillion AI funding project. Meanwhile, Ethereum's NFT market rebounded with vigor, and the Web3 gaming platform PlayDapp faced a substantial security exploit. Plus, we provided some real-world context with our usual doses of reality from the Meatsuitaverse.

In this week's episode, we took a pulse check on the crypto market as it weathered a cooldown. We focused on Upland's imminent expansion, which is set to welcome two new cities into its community. Apple's venture into the VR metaverse ignited enthusiasm, while satellites got an upgrade with AI integration and Gala Games' introduction of VGX-infused gaming ventures marked a new chapter in the Web3 domain. Plus, we provided some real-world context with our usual doses of reality from the Meatsuitaverse.

Saturday Feb 03, 2024
Saturday Feb 03, 2024
In this impromptu episode of the UDU Podcast, I dove into the MASSIVE NEWS of Upland offering the first-ever ETH Bundle sale. I gabbed off through my first thoughts, dove into the sale details, what to watch out for if you're taking part, why I'm excited about this sale even though I won't be taking part, and my final thoughts.
