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 182 – They Don’t Have Read
Alternate title: No Mike Left Behind.
No Courtney this week, in clear violation of the terms of his parole. Next week we’ll be broadcasting from the Leo Laporte Minimum Security Netcasters Prison. Nevertheless, Mike lets down his gender, Ashley lets down 3-D lovers, and Evan lets down his hair. I think. It’s hard to tell, really, without some sort of aided viewing.
Cuz he’s bald.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 181 – Better Living Through Achievements
It’s hard to argue that Achievements (and their weird little brother Trophies) have a remarkable affect on how people play games. I mean how do you explain the fact that anyone bought Avatar: The Burning Earth?
But what if someone tried to harness Achievements for good and not sorta-evil? One person is trying, and we talk about them. Aren’t we good citizens? We also talk about Steambirds and crazy geeky graphics talk related to Final Fantasy 13. Can you stand the citizenship?

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 180 – Gays In Toyland
Yeah it’s not the best title ever, but it does cover some of the topics and I have FF13 to play.
In a world full of hate and anger and turmoil, it is nice to have an island of sanity in a sea of chaos. And we hear it’s a lovely island. We can see it from our boat.
Ashley doesn’t care about games, Mike doesn’t care about car games, Courtney doesn’t care for demo extortion, and Evan doesn’t care about basic hygene. Thank goodness we are on the internet, where no one can here you smell.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 179 – The Beasts Of The Fathers
Alternate title: The Sins Within (but that sounds like a 30 Seconds To Mars album).
Another bizarrely scrambled show, since some of us can’t get which Gabriel Knight game we are talking about. Admittedly Evan didn’t make it easy for anyone, even if they were paying attention. For those of you confused: Gabriel Knight 1 = Tim Curry, Gabriel Knight 2 = Crazy FMV.
Courtney plays some modern games, Ashley tortures her cat, and Mike hates the troops. As always, another exciting episode of Yet Another Gaming Show.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 178 – Mad World
The title of this show brings to mind not only the underappreciated Wii game and the fact that the video game world seems extra insane this week. It also happens to be tangentially related to the greatest videogame commercial of all time. The title as it pertains to the focus level of the YAGS crew this week is only implied, however.
