Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? To an era of history where life was pure drudgery for the masses? And there was no such thing as medicine? And everything was dirty all the time probably? And there was no air conditioning. Or clean water fit for reliable consumption? But they had sword fights? US TOO.

If you - like us - would trade all of your modern comforts just for a chance to earn an honorable death by blade in combat, you might be interested in taking Swordsman for a swing. But does all that historical fencing equate to a great workout? Tune in to find out! Okay - no. No it doesn’t. Sorry to get your hopes up there. But tune in anyway. Never forget. The journey is the reward.

No one cared anymore after they knew who killed Laura Palmer.

The point is you don’t come here just for the answer. You come for the company. And we’ll be here. Whenever you need us.

We are proud of you. 

Video gains.

We're back! And on this episode you are in for a frantic, head-exploding, bullet hell cacophany of violence, techno music and cardio! PISTOL WHIP (WARNING: no actual pistol whips were used in the course of playing this game). Tune in to hear Freddy and Ross discuss how much of a workout you can get and how much fun you'll have. 

We also touch on the topics of navigating mixed messages of toxic food culture, maintaining a balance of nutrious foods in our diets and the eating urges we all get. 

Listen to the episode and decide if you want to add Pistol Whip to your library and GET SOME SWEAT!

Wow! Video games! What if they were attached to your face?? And what if you moved your body while playing them? I don't know about you, but I think that sounds novel! But not like a book. It's like a novel you play with your body. And you just SWING and SWEAT. And that's video games and VIDEO GAINS PODCAST!

Boom boom beepoo beep beep mmtz mmtz. You know what that sound is? That's right - Synth Riders. Get out of your seats and get ready to touch balls of light to musical accompaniment. On this episode Freddy and Ross will tell you how Synth Riders measures up to the Video Gains Review Metrics™. How much sweat will you get? Come find out! And while we're talking about sweat, this episode brings you some subtly sweet bonus content. We know you listeners are getting lots of sweat after our last 2 game reviews...so were we! That's why we decided to try out some different varieties of coconut water FOR MAXIMUM HYDRATION. Thought all coconut water was the same? Think again! Click play to quench your thirst for another episode of the VIDEO GAINS PODCAST!

WE ARE BUSTING THROUGH THE SOPHMORE SLUMP LIKE THE KOOL AID MAN! OH YEAH

If you loved listening to Ross and Freddy last time, you really lucked out with an extra long episode. Think of it is a director's cut - bonus content - for no extra charge! 

Come check out our review of Until You Fall! Until You Fall is a 2020 roguelike video game developed and published by Schell Games. Ross and Freddy put this game through the paces and we will tell you if it's worth adding to your game library and your workout routine. 

Glad to have you back, now get listening, Video Gainers. 

Do you love video games? Us too. Do you hate going to the gym? The first question makes the second almost redundant.

1 - Sweat Get (How sweaty do you get playing this game?)

2 - Accessibility (How simple is it to get into this game and get your sweat?)

3 - Fun (How fun is the game?)

4 - Drive to Continue (How bad do you want to keep going?)
