The Video Games Show
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, Nick, and Greg have over 50 years of gaming experience between them and VGS itself is over 7 years old! Tune in every Thursday when new episodes hit the net.

Again, it was totally our intention to record our live broadcast from yesterday, but the cards weren't in our favor.  In fact, the cards were so out of our favor we accidentally fried about 1000 dollars worth of audio equipment and couldn't even broadcast.  We do hope you enjoy our follow-up as Rich, Kraft, and Keith recap the events of last night and cover a bit of the news you've missed out on.

Kraft, while present, takes a backseat this week as he studies for finals giving Brandon his first true chance to shine.  Of course by "shine" we mean almost start a race war.  News comes secondary to this bit of awesomeness on this week's Video Games Show!

Somehow we accidentally spliced the end of 360 onto the last episode rather than the end of 362... a big thanks to Matt C. for giving us the heads up!  Here is the final part of show 362 (hopefully).

I have a vague recollection of talking about news...  Yeah, we probably did that.  Only one way to be sure, and that is by listening to this week's all new Video Games Show!

Come join us as we celebrate our 8th anniversary in style!  By style I mean Brandon shows back up and Kraft brings in an auto-tuner.  We also issue challenges to PETA and inform bystanders how horrible Crocs are.  We even find some time to talk about news!  Come join us on this week's all new Video Games Show!

For our 360th show we talk very little about the Xbox...  But make up for it by chatting with BongoParty and learning about all the changes that have happened to the VGS minecraft server!  We also cover some news because that's apparently what you all expect.  Here's to another quasi-predictable Video Games Show!

While it may be a slow news week, Kraft and Rich are already listing reasons to not buy the next generation of Microsoft consoles.  We also watch as Capcom miraculously puts their foot in their mouth while lodging their head up their rectum (no small feat).  Dont' worry, though, as there is some good news to round out the day, plus our first review of a console hardware mod, the Titan Triggers!  Come for all this and more on the world-famous Video Games Show!

Diablo 3 has a street date.  Someone hacked all the "bonus content" off Capcom's game disk.  Phil Harrison goes to Microsoft.  Not a ton of news this week, but definitely some bombshells worth discussing.  Join in as Rich and Kraft give their first, second, and mostly unwanted impression on all this week's news on the world-famous Video Games Show!

Normally we don't include much UMSL talk on the radio show, but as Kraft nearly blows multiple gaskets, it seemed worth including.  We also take the time to talk to ThisTeamsCorpse and DarkLight13 about what a relationship between two hardcore gamers is like.  We also talk with Logan about Mass Effect 3, Nicky B about Android tablets, and Big Josh comes on to talk about... lots of different stuff.  There is some news, but if that is what you are looking for you can skip the first hour and 55 minutes.  That's how we roll on the world-famous Video Games Show!

What an odd episode this turned out to be.  We did a live broadcast from the Maplewood Gamestop last night for the release of Mass Effect 3.  Good news:  we gave away a ton of stuff and had a blast.  Bad news:  We had a bad audio cable and didn't realize it until the event was over.  Long story short:  Kraft gives a summation of the news and we combine it with Rich's solo music episode from last week.  We really hope you enjoy this... eclectic episode of the World Famous Video Games Show!
