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 Show 596 - All Comes Back to Tim & Eric (8.8.20) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:44:55

How to describe this show?  Kinda of difficult to put into words.  Here it goes.  It has Rich, Matt, Bob and Kurt in it.  They start off discussing what they've been playing/watching lately.  After that they go deep into the Adult Swim rabbit hole.  Then I seem to remember a bunch of cross searches with imdb.com and Wikipedia.  It just got weird after that.  A strange, but fun journey.  Enjoy.

Also, if you are interested in more information or to make an offer on the "Mario" NWC cart, please look up James Lee on Facebook and contact him direct for details.

Apologies for the popping sound during the podcast.  We did not notice until after recording and couldn't edit it out.  We will fix before next episode.

Despite a massive storm rolling through the STL, that won't stop the crew from recording a new episode.  Join Rich, Kurt, Matt and Bob as we provide personal updates, talk the latest gaming news (what there is to discuss), WWE lay offs, new movies in the new world, Rich's new toy obsession, Disney/theme parks, and Joey. Also, didn't realize as we were recording, but pretty incredible to be posting up show 590 thinking back to the days of recording out of KFNS, 590 The Fan and how far we have come since those early days in 2004.  Oh memories...oh how I got old. -Rich

Please excuse any audio issues that may occur as we are still getting used to the new remote set up system and doing this over Skype instead of all together in the same room.

After the holiday break, the crew of Rich, Addy, Kurt and Matt are ready to storm the world of video games once again!  This episode we discuss our top 10 games of the decade, which generates a number of "oh yeah, that was in the last 10 years..." moments. Apologies that the audio is slightly off compared to the norm.  Our main recorder failed during recording and we had to use the secondary recorder to still have a show this week.  Thank you, and enjoy.
