The Video Games Show show

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.

Big show tonight.  The one and only ScottD joins the VGS crew, we hit up news, BT has another audio quiz, Email Question of the Week, and Keith's This Week in Gaming History!  Join in, lots of laugh.

 VGS Show 433 - We're Back!!! (1.13.14) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:43:07

We're back folks!  Yes, Kraft, Rich & Keith return to the VGS studio and do their thing.  Tons of fun with news, emails and a new quiz, thanks to BTTWS (aka Kevin) and Anivasion (aka Misty).  Come join us for the fun, as always.  NOTE: There will be no new show the week of 1/20/14 due to the studio being closed.  We will be back to weekly shows starting on 1/27/14.

 VGS Show 432 - VGS Unplugged (12.30.13) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 47:11

Hope you had a wonderful holiday and received loads of gaming goodies.  Kraft and Rich gather at the old home studio (aka Kraft's place) for a shortened episode of VGS.  The boys talk the holidays, get to news and have some good times.  I'm sure you are wondering what was going on with this episode if you didn't read the description before hand.  Basically, this is VGS Unplugged, which basically means we didn't have time to do post production work due to very hectic schedules this week.  So the options were either do what we did and get a show out at the usual time, or risk not having a show out until the end of the week, if not later.  I think you will agree we made the right call.  For now, have a fantastic New Year's and we'll see you back in the studio next week.

 VGS Presents "A Very Bombed Out Christmas Special 2" | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:14:38

ATTENTION!!!  PLEASE READ BEFORE LISTENING!!!  Okay, in case you didn't listen to last year's special, you need to go back and listen to that one first.  Second, and more importantly, this episode is a Bombed Out episode, which means it is uncensored and unedited, so it is very not appropriate for children that shouldn't be hearing profanity and that may still believe in Santa Claus.  You've been warned.  Now listen and enjoy.  Merry Christmas and Happy Bang Holidays from the crew at VGS!!!

 VGS Show 430 - MURDER!!! (12.9.13) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:34:54

MURDER!!!  Wanna know more?  You need to listened the whole way down.  So, the first 15 minutes are a cluster F of audio issues that are eventually fixed.  Then Kraft, Rich, Keith and Ben from Well Bred Rhino play a bunch of mulitplayer games while riffing them as well as random talk about games.  Rich then has a retro movie review that not only makes Kraft extremely happy, but sets off a powder keg in studio.  You just need to hear this to believe it.

 VGS Show 429 - We Got Lohan'd (12.2.13) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:49:52

Kraft and Keith are absent, Rich, Bongo and Big Josh are in as the VGS crew got...well...Lohan'd.  What does that mean?  You have to listen to find out.  In addition to news and emails, we are introduced to the new Random Fact of the Week segment, Rich reviews The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Bongo reviews Call of Duty: Ghosts, and we even get time for a bit of Would You Rather.  We apologize for the odd hum in in the background, which we will blame on poor studio wiring, but stick with it as this show gets a bit crazy in a good way.

 VGS Show 428 - Thankful to Be on the Road (to V-Stock) Again (11.25.13) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:00:03

First off, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  Please excuse the audio on this podcast as it was recorded on the Tascam in a moving car, so please don't freak out.  Also, big thanks to Vomitron for providing the new return and closing music for this and our future shows.  Now, onto the show itself.  Kraft and Keith pile into Rich's car as we the crew sets out looking for game gems while hitting up all three V-Stock locations in the STL.  Along the way they talk next (or now current) gen systems, retro gaming, Bongo interviews the folks at Asthree Studios, and we read out answers to the question of the week.  Yes, it is a bit shorter than usual, but at least we got a show up.  Again, Happy Thanksgiving and we will be back in studio next week.

 VGS Show 427 - Shirley Goes ATM (11.18.13) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:40:13

Who is Shirley?  Heck if I know.  Anyway, Kraft, Rich & Keith are back in studio for another big time fun show.  We hit up news, reviews, emails, Would You Rather, and everything in between.  Not much else to say, just listen.

 VGS Show 426 - Dragons, Grab Bags, and Trivia...Oh My! (11.11.13) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:44:45

Kraft, Rich & Keith are joined this week by the folks at Simutronics to talk about their new Kickstarter campaign for Dragons of Elanthia.  Be sure to go check out the page, which is linked at http://www.videogamesshow.com.  We also do news, a couple of games, and emails.  Be sure to check out the show and then check out Dragons of Elanthia on Kickstarter.

 VGS Show 425 - Midnight Launch of Call of Duty Ghost Nintendogs: Who Gives a Crap Edition (11.4.13) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:38:55

What can we say?  It's another remote episode where we do news, Keith plays a game, Keith does his first review, emails, and Would You Rather.  Oh yeah, and we had another amazing incident involving a moran that doesn't understand the concept of WE ARE RECORDING A F*ING SHOW YOU DOUCHE!!!  Seriously, this is why we are not doing anymore remotes for a while.  Anyway, listen and just keep saying "They're back in studio next week.  They're back in studio next week.  They're back in studio next week."

 VGS Show 424 - Halloween Special Live @ GameStop (10.28.13) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:21:53

I know this is a place for a description of the pod you're about to hear, but screw it, I'm using it for something else.  To the three idiots that kept trying to ask us questions and make song requests while we were recording a show...WTF are you doing.  It is painfully obvious we are doing a radio show and you should know enough not to bother people who are talking in a microphone.  The best was the drunk a-hole that actually jumped onto my laptop and started looking through songs.  If this happens next week, I'm gonna lay the Smackdown!  Oh yeah, WWE 2K14 came out, along with Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Battlefield 4.

 VGS Show 423 - Eye of the Glass Tiger (10.21.13) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:48:32

Wow, so there were five of us on the show, we had news, while we started the first ever Keith Plays Games bit.  How far did Keith get in Punch-Out and Cyber Stadium Base Wars?  You'll laugh and cry.  He clearly ate lightning and crapped himself.  We also had our question of the week segment and Would you Rather.  All those and we find the origin of Glass Joe's 1 victory by KO on this week's VGS.

 VGS Show 422 - Click, Click, Stop It!!! (10.14.13) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:38:56

Rich & Kraft are back for another week of VGS.  After discovering that someone literally screwed with the soundboard and Kraft yelled at Rich for playing Cookie Clicker during the show, we got around to doing news, emails and Would You Rather with Bongo.  Join us for another week with less whores and twerks than last week, but just as much fun.

 VGS Show 421 - Twerking with...Damn It Keith! What Did You Do? (10.7.13) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:39:47

It is just like old times and Rich, Kraft, and Keith return to the studio for good times.  Kraft and Rich keep screwing around with each others' news copies, we hit up emails, Would You Rather, and mock Keith.  And yes, Bongo appears on the show.

 VGS Show 420 - Alone on an Island Episode (9.30.13) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:55:24

The theme is being alone as Rich tries something new...he hosts solo.  Even though he nearly cries at one point, he manages to get through the news, Side Bar, emails and Would You Rather.  Email topic of the week returns and is a major success.  All this and more on this lonely man episode of VGS
