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...

VGS Show 424 - Halloween Special Live @ GameStop (10.28.13) 29.10.2013

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...

VGS Show 423 - Eye of the Glass Tiger (10.21.13) 22.10.2013

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) 15.10.2013

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) 08.10.2013

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) 01.10.2013

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

VGS Show 419 - Feeling You Deep Inside...Your Ear (9.23.13) 24.09.2013

No time for a deep description here.  Rich, Bongo & Big Josh do news, reviews, a new audio game, Would You Rather, and all kinds of fun.  Plus Kraft supplies audio from the Game Jam.  Listen now...right now!!!

VGS Show 418 - Scotch, Basketball, Count Chocula, & GTAV Live (9.16.13) 17.09.2013

Another VGS live remote from GameStop has come and gone, mercifully no was left behind.  Literally, everyone in the STL crew was there, including Rich, Kraft, Keith, Matt, and a special appearance by TSFSS' own Tiffany Axton.  Join us as we countdown to the midnight hour and the launch of Grand Theft Auto V.  Enjoy.

VGS Show 417 - Guess Who's Here?!? (9.9.13) 10.09.2013

Rants, reviews, special guests, insane news...words can do no justice.  Just listen now.

VGS Show 416 - Private Helicopters & Nipple Cake Alarms (8.26.13) 27.08.2013

Rich is joined by Matt, The Nintendo Junkie, for a week of VGS craziness.  We have a ton of news to cover thanks to Gamescom, we review 3 movies during the Side Bar, Rich has mutiple angry man rants (from a lack of mustard/ketchup to stupid practices of a business once praised, now damned), and Nick Kraftor (via the Chatroom) proclaims his super hero persona.  Enjoy all the VGS goodness.

VGS Show 415 - Technical Difficulties Live (8.19.13) 20.08.2013

Yeah, it was a rough night.  I won't get into too many details except the sound board we used for the GameStop midnight launch had mulitple issues.  That being said, a new board will be purchased before the next remote for the GTAV launch.  I apologize for the audio quality as it is not up to par, but I felt it wouldn't be right to scrap the show, both for you the listeners and for special guest h...

VGS Show 414 - 180's & Backpedaling, Geeked Out Style (8.12.13) 13.08.2013

Rich is joined by the one and only Big Josh Dick for another week of VGS greatness.  Microsoft keeps flip-flopping, Sony brags, the ducks come home early, Rich & Josh fancy the same New Girl, and we wax poetically on the missing Kraft.  All this, plus an extended Side Bar on this week's VGS.

VGS Show 413 - Aussies Say No to Alien Narcotics, Yes to Anal Prob Gun (8.5.13) 06.08.2013

After a short break, VGS host Rich Bergin returns to the VGS studio for another episode of VGS.  Joining Rich this week is guest host Bongo (Ron Brock) for all the madness.  Listen in for what has to be the oddest story concerning Australia Ratings Board, along with all the major gaming headlines, a special review from Bongo, the intruction of the VGS Side Bar segment, emails, and Would You Rather...

VGS Show 412 - What It Sounds Like When Douches Cry (7.25.13) 26.07.2013

Last in studio episode before Kraft goes off to Austin.  It's a great episode, just listen to it!   Special thanks to Mr. Kraftor for everything.  I know this isn't the last time he'll be on VGS, but it is still really hard to realize the man that has caused so much comedy inspiration and joy in my life won't be around in person anymore.  Thank you for everything and best of luck in Austin. - Rich

VGS Show 411 - The Burger King Got Fingered By a Pimp Dressed as a Hobbit (7.15.13) 16.07.2013

Back in full form tonight as Kraft and Rich rip through the news, take phone calls o-plenty, and still have time for emails and Would You Rather.  BTW, we drop a potential bombshell on this week's episode.  No hints, you'll have to listen.

VGS Show 410 - Spoiler Alert, Not a JRPG (7.8.13) 09.07.2013

Shortened show this week due to a lack of news, lack of calls, lack of energy, and...oh yeah...It's National Play a Video Game Day today, so we cut out early.  We'll be back for a full show next week.  For now, enjoy this tiny episode of VGS.

VGS Show 409 - Wrasslin' Canadian Bacon (7.1.13) 02.07.2013

Wow, a VGS recorded on Canada Day and the chatroom was all a buzz about pro wrestling...hence the title.  We had it all tonight, from news, emails, Would You Rather, listener calls, games, and a cross-over with The Geeked Out Podcast.  Big shout out to Matt Roussin (Dumpstermonkey) for telling us all about SGC 2013 and Dave L for his listener review!  Enjoy some back bacon, hosers!!!

VGS Show 408 (6.24.13) 25.06.2013

It's VGS Fight Night 2!!!  Yes, the great debate between Team VGS vs. Team Geeked Out Podcast on the next-gen systems is on!!!  Listen now...right now!!!

VGS Show 407 (6.17.13) 18.06.2013

Okay, so we took some heat for not properly covering E3, so this week we make up for that.  Listen to our full E3 coverage, VGS style.  Listen now, repent later.

VGS Show 406 (6.10.13) 11.06.2013

What can we say, we compain a whole lot on this episode.  Microsoft continues to upset us with the Xbox One and their E3 press conference didn't make up for it.  We talk a bit about E3 with our callers and review the OUYA.  All this and the usual biz on this week's VGS.  Note: This is part one of our E3 coverage, part two to follow next week.

VGS Show 404 (6.3.13) 04.06.2013

We're back at The U this week, which is great becauase we've had bad luck lately.  Anyway, we hit you all up with news, Ask Big Josh, Would You Rather, and all the usual fun.  Plus, we get heavy into Plants Vs. Zombies 2.  Spoiler alert: It isn't what you expect.

VGS Show 403 - On the Bombed Out Road (5.27.13) 27.05.2013

WARNING: This episode of VGS is UNCENSORED, do not play it around kids and those sensitive to profanity.  You've been warned. You read it right, it is another On the Road episode of VGS, as well as a Bombed Out episode of VGS wrapped up in one.  Since The U is closed for Memorial Day, Kraft & Rich hit the road and visit all three STL area V-Stocks because there is a sale and you know how much the...

VGS Show 402 (5.13.13) 14.05.2013

Short episode this week due to Kraft being sick and having finals this week, but an episode nonetheless.  Listen in for News, Emails, Would You Rather, and how Rich renders Kraft speechless.  All this and more on this week's VGS.  Listen now, repent later.

VGS Show 401 (5.6.13) 07.05.2013

Fill in the blank:  This week's VGS can only be described as __________.  We talked about latest pile of _____ Microsoft had to offer, as well as EA's latest _____ Sims game and other ________.  We had reviews, Would You Rather, Emails and creamy ________.  All this and more ______ on this week's VGS.  Listen now ________, repent later.

VGS 400 After Party (4.29.13) 30.04.2013

Well, after leaving it all on the ice with VGS 400, Rich, Kraft and Doc Brown throw a good ole fashion after party that has nothing to do with games.  Seriously, the Would You Rather is the only regular segment on this show.  Oh yeah, the gong died.  Listen now, repent later.

VGS Show 400 (4.22.13) 23.04.2013

It's freakin' VGS 400!!!  No description needed, just listen!!!
