The Video Games Show

Summary: The Video Games Show (or VGS for short) is a weekly gaming industry news podcast hosted by Rich Bergin, Nick Kraftor and Greg the Engineer. While there are plenty of podcasts out there that deal with games themselves we take a closer look at the companies and people behind those games and what they are doing. News isn't the only thing we do though, we bring you reviews of the latest games, interviews with industry hot-shots and take special care to interact with our audience via email and our website. Rich and Kraft have over 50 years of gaming experience between them and VGS itself is over 8 years old! Tune in every Thursday when new episodes hit the net.

 VGS Post MO Game Con Special (8.16.16) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:12:55

Now that MO Game Con has occurred and some days have past, it is time to reflect on all the awesomeness.  Join four of the five members of the con planning crew (Chad Hager, Chuck Shaw, Jake Friedel & Rich Bergin) along with Matt Gurley as the guys discuss everything about the con, from the planning phase, hanging out with Adam Koralik, the con itself, what they saw, what they got, all the con wonder, and how they took a grand total of eight hours off before starting to plan next year's MO Game Con II: The Wrath of Con!

 VGS Show 500 - Con-Tastic (8.13.16) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:02:03

WARNING: Podcast contains explicit language. VGS Show 500 is finally here and was recorded live from the MO Game Con.  Join Rich, Addy, Ron, Kevin & Matt R from VGS Overclocked, as well as appearances by Matt G, Jake, Kurt and Chuck from the new VGS cast as we breakdown the MO Game Con.  The show is broken into three segments, pre-show, live con update, and post con report.  Also joining them is a special appearance by YouTuber Adam Koralik, Keith Robinson (via phone) and others.  You've heard us talk about the MO Game Con for months, now join us at the con.  Also be sure to watch the videos posted on the VGS Facebook page (facebook.com/thevideogamesshow) for live footage from the con.

 VGS Show 512 - Con Gone Wild (8.9.16) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:32:02

WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE!!! With MO Game Con less than five days way (August 13, www.mogamecon.com), the team of Rich, Matt, Jake, Bob & Chuck are a bit over excited/over stressed and this episode is a reflection of their mental states.  Besides talking the con, the guys talk about Pokemon GO changes and getting banned in Iran, Nintendo dropping the price of the New 3DS and including some additional goodies, Matt discusses betting Uncharted 4 and looking ahead to No Man Sky, and then we discuss some stuff later that gets kinda blurry.  Again, please forgive us and our lack of focus.  This ends up becoming an OVERCLOCKED episode towards the end.

 VGS OVERCLOCKED EPISODE VIII - Guess Who's Coming to Town? (8.3.16) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 02:13:08

WARNING: EXPLICIT!!! After a break in episodes, the crew of Overclocked return.  We talk a bunch about MO Game Con, including who will be there, the show that will be recorded, and what we will be doing.  We mock those trying to take RottenTomatoes.com offline, we find a buried recording, talk about crappy movies, and round everything out with some good ole fashion "Would You Rather" questions.

 VGS Show 511 - NO HAGGLING!!! (7.26.16) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:36:42

Welcome to the Mo Game Con special episode of VGS.  Don't worry, that isn't all that is discussed.  Besides the con Rich confides in his co-hosts a costly pledge on Kickstarter, Jake talks about the insides of the SNES Playstation, Nintendo releases true numbers behind Pokemon Go profits, Mini NES vs. Mini Genesis, Xbox One S bundles, and Matt forgets his $2 to give to special guest Bob Friedel for his 2 cents.
