VGBS Gaming Podcast

We would like to welcome Coffin to the show! In this episode we go over our last couple weeks, including Midwest Gaming Classic 2023 with lots of stories from that weekend. We also go over our experiences with watching the Super Mario Bros Movie. How did we all do on the BS Homework and what else have we been up to? Tune in to find out!

This week the main topic is flea market stories, growing up with them as well as some more recent stories. Along the way Tristan and Jeff go over their thoughts on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, their progress with Metroid Prime: Remastered, some classic Midwest Gaming Classic Stories, an indie title called Boneraiser Minions, and even the history of Paprium by Watermelon Team. Come down the Bullsh!t River with us!

VGBS is back to bullsh!t about games with the best of them. We have some new cohosts, will have guests, and are recording live. Find out what we've been up to and what's been going on since Episode 100. Plus we have a new Bullsh!t Homework game for the VGBS Community to play!

Jeff also does a tribute to Kyle the VGBS Original, hats off to the legend himself. He was and is the best of us all!

Jeffrey was with 8Bit Steve at Virtual Nerd Con 2020 which is a convention in a video game-style program! They talk about what's going on with Hagen's Alley Books, the Summer Sale, and Friday the 13th: The Easy Way. 8Bit Steve also beats Friday the 13th on the NES while they both do commentary!

After a bit of a retro holiday...VGBS Gaming Podcast is back and with a new adventure for everyone to join us on! In this episode we jump into the amazing world of Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest, but the way it should be played.
With this new direction, Kyle and Jeff are taking classic games and playing them the way we wished we could have back in the day. From versions that fix inherent problems with a game, to tips and tricks that we now know that make a classically difficult game beatable... this should be fun!

Jeffrey gets together with Adam and Jav from Second Dimension to talk about The Curse of Illmoore Bay, a new and original 16 bit game heavily inspired by Saturday morning cartoons from the 90s fueled by a deep love for the SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive Console.

This time around we talk about Make Trax, nominated by the legendary Walter Day. Did we like it or does this Pacman clone miss the mark? We also talk about a new direction for how we are handling the homework from now on and go into depth on some classic DOS games! Join us and let us know your thoughts in the comments. 

This is VGBS.

For our fourth annual VGBS Live Panel at Midwest Gaming Classic, we are talking about collecting for the Nintendo Switch and this time we aren't alone!

We have the perfect episode for 100, a special interview with the AVGN himself James Rolfe. Not only do we catch up on everything that's going in his crazy world, but we also go back to our very first episode that was focused on him. Coming full circle, this is a perfect bow on VGBS, will we continue on from here? You let us know! Without further ado, let's get the show on the road.

For VGBS 99, we wanted to do something really special...This is a complementary episode to our previous Super Mario Memories installment. So let's see what the Extended Edition hack of Mario 3 entails and what we think of it as a whole package. Also covered are tips for farming lives, the Anchor/White Toad Houses, the origin of Yoshi, and even a tidbit on Mario is Missing. Finally, we delve into some online reviews to see how others feel about this hack.
