Another Fancy Pants Gangsters Production! Join the YAGS crew (Mike, Courtney, Ashley and Evan) as they talk about videogaming, with a bend toward gaming news and law, along with the standard game reviews, nonsensical asides, rambling diatribes, and outright lies you’ve come to expect from The Fancy Pants Gangsters.
Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 116 – iSuck
Thankfully the Midwestern heat is gone, but that doesn’t mean the heat from our hatred has abated! We can still complain about lacking lan support, iPhone games, and having to run while playing games. I can’t believe you thought we were done hating. It’s un-American, dangit!

YAGS Episode 115 fixed
I apparently forgot to carry the one when I updated yesterday’s episode of Yet Another Gaming Show. This has been fixed. Feel free to go here to get the new episode. Sorry about the confusion!
Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 115 – Easy Mode
Rather than bore you talking about what we have been playing (well we actually do cover that briefly), this week we decided to have a nice civilized chat about game accessibility. Prompted by this article by the lovely and talented Leigh Alexander of Sexy Videogame Land and Gamasutra, the YAGS crew talk about why games are as hard as they are, why motion control can be a gimmick and the next big thing at the same time, and why cheating is hardcore.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 114 – Serious Business
Gaming, like The Internet, is serious business.
I kinda wish that we were all wearing suits during this show, since most of what we cover relates to the boring stuffy side of video games than the side where we can jump on turtles with impunity. Granted business tycoons do seem like the kind of people that would do the Terrapin Hop gleefully if they thought it would save them money.
I’m off to save a turtle.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 113 – Munn Rage
Yet Another Gaming Show decides to blow off some steam in the first YAGS Rant Show. Even though we couldn’t get Courtney on (he’s naturally a lover anyway), we still stir up some juicy hate of nonsensical puzzles, female gamers, and G4.
For the record, this was recorded before the announcement of Olivia Munn’s upcoming role in Iron Man 2. That would not dull Evan’s critique, in fact it would only raise the froth level. Wear a bib.
