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 376 (9.24.12) 25.09.2012

It is a short show, but a fun one none the less.  We tackles some interesting news on the WiiU front that actually has Kraft excited, marvel at Rich Bergin's on-drugs-antics, and discover that our own Playtex Keith has had an Xbox 360 for years without us knowing about it!  Don't forget next week will be a remote broadcast from the Maplewood Gamestop!

VGS Show 375 (9.17.12) 18.09.2012

Well, it finally happened:  we had a live event that actually recorded!  Thanks to the valiant efforts by Mr. Rich Bergin we are now equipped with our own remote rig which we tested out at the Borderlands 2 midnight launch.  Come join us for a ton of news about the WiiU, some news about other stuff, and watch us redub Station Manager Keith to Playtex Keith.  Check out this rain-filled edition of t...

VGS Show 373 (8.28.12) 28.08.2012

This week's news brings about the end of a legacy that has probably affected all of us at some point or another.  Join Rich and Kraft as we revel in our past experiences with Nintendo Power as the dynasty draws to a close.  We also discuss a very possible WiiU release date, upcoming holiday season discounts and bundles, and grill Big Josh with hard-hitting questions about genitalia!  Check out all...

VGS Show 372 (8.20.12) 21.08.2012

After a hiatus of non-functioning studio equipment and lost episodes, the new semester at The U has started and we are back in action!  Feel free to join us LIVE every Monday night from 9-11pm CST at umslradio.com  This week we catch up on some news from the past couple shows and relish in our late-night slot with some poiniant conversations about syphillis and more.  Come join us for a good ol-fa...

VGS Show 371 (7.23.12) 24.07.2012

We're back to cover the fallout of the Steam Summer Sale, update you on the status of our new favorite kickstarter (OUYA) and sing the praises of Spider Jesus!  Come join us for another action-packed* episode of the world famouse Video Games Show!  (*Warning:  Contains no action.)

VGS Show 370 (7.10.12) 11.07.2012

So there is a new game system that gained financing in one day, we discuss the intricacies of Jesus getting bit by a radioactive spider, and Keith brings what he considers "the funny"... we begged to differ.  Please enjoy this on-time world famous Video Games Show!

VGS Show 369 (7.2.12) 11.07.2012

News, reviews, etc.  All this and more on this week's Video Games Show!

VGS 368 (6.18.12) 28.06.2012

We apologize for the lateness of this show and the lack of a show this week.  Just FYI, summer class is about to end which will add a WHOLE lot of extra time into the schedule and hopefully allow for more consistency with the show.  We thank everyone for their patience as we do try to put out a fairly consistent free product.  This week we cover the remainder of the e3 news scraps, talk a little m...

VGS Show 367 (6.11.12) 11.06.2012

E3 has come and gone.  We have what little news hit the airwaves from that, and Rich tells everyone why he hates you and you shouldn't listen to us...  Kraft still loves you, though.  Who thought something like that would have been typed into show notes?  Check out this extended edition of the World Famous Video Games Show!

VGS Show 366 (5.29.12) 30.05.2012

Short news show as we near E3 next week.  We run into more drama concerning Diablo 3, games begin having their release dates pushed back, and we chat with BongoParty about the new computer that the VGS Minecraft server will be heading towards.  Check out all this and more on this week's all new Video Games Show!

VGS Show 365 (5.21.12) 25.05.2012

We take a trip to VStock to introduce Station Manager Keith to the nerd-vana that it is.  We talk quite a bit about Blizzard and Diablo 3 amongst other things.  This episode, though, devolves into a music talk show.  Still pretty fun though.  Join us next Tuesday for a new show as the station will be closed for Memorial Day.

VGS Show 364 (5.15.12) 15.05.2012

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.

VGS Show 363 (5.07.12) 09.05.2012

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!

VGS Show 362 Part 2 09.05.2012

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).

VGS Show 362 (4.30.12) 05.05.2012

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!

VGS Show 361 (4.23.12) 24.04.2012

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!

VGS Show 360 (4.9.11) 18.04.2012

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!

VGS Show 359 (4.2.12) 04.04.2012

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!  C...

VGS Show 358 (3.19.12) 21.03.2012

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!

VGS Show 357 (3.12.12) 14.03.2012

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....

VGS Show 356 (3.5.12) 06.03.2012

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 w...

VGS Show 355 (2.20.12) 23.02.2012

It's Vita-licious!  Vita-tacular!  Vita-rific!  All right, that's enough of that.  This week we have our normal buffet of news and reviews, plus a first-hand look at the new Playstation Vita as we have one in the studio to play with!  Come join us for our first impressions of the newest system to hit the market on this week's all new Video Games Show!6

VGS Show 354 (2.13.12) 14.02.2012

A very happy Valentine's Day from the Video Games Show!  The Vita is finally here, Psychonauts 2 may be a reality now... it has definitely been a good week.  Come Join Rich, Kraft, and Brandon for plenty of great news, reviews, and emails on this week's all new Video Games Show!

VGS Show 353 (2.6.12) 08.02.2012

What do Capcom, Impulse, Twisted Metal, and Brandon all have in common?  They are things we make fun of on this week's show!  Come join us for another round of Vita news, PSN news, and Kraft getting a little too excited about things on an all new Video Games Show!
