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 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.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 177 – F You, Christian Bale
It’s funny how quickly Terminator: Salvation turned Christian Bale’s profile from “That hot guy from Newsies” to “That angry ranting guy from the internet”. All it took was facilitating the demise of the one of the best sci-fi franchises of all time. Granted that was also McG’s fault. Personally I don’t trust anyone who is can’t afford a whole name.
Giant killer robots, altered beasts, grevious bodily harm, zombie cricket, and Danzig. I don’t think I need to need to say much more about this week’s Yet Another Gaming Show. Oh, and Sushi Cat.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 176 – Hide The Children
Not only is this netcast rated M for Mature (due to rampant swearing, adult situations, brief nudity, and occasional Communistic teachings), but parents are warned to keep the actual hosts from any children that may be present. It’s for the good of the country.
An unusually PC heavy show this week, as we cover major non-console franchises like Starcraft, Civilization, and…well, there aren’t any other major non-console franchises left, is there. We also briefly cover Nintendo’s press event, various legal wranglings, and Mike threatens children. A full show, to be sure.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 175 – Equal Opportunity Offender
Definitely earning the mature tag this week. Pretty much if you have any great positions on anything, or were raised in any culture or are from any particular race or creed, there is something here to offend the ear. And much like chocolate makes the miracle pill go down easier, we coat all that offensiveness in a deep discussion of the growing problem of Internet addiction and the equally terrifying concern that any of the YAGS crew will ever breed. Plus Evan promises to stop talking about Mass Effect 2. For real this time.

Yet Another Gaming Show Episode 174 – PCs, Pads, And Poor Reviews
If only we could have worked in pachyderms, penguins and popinjays, we would be the leader in microphones slick with saliva. A noble goal, to be sure.
Not to compare ourselves to Jesus, but the YAGS crew did some serious loaves-and-fishes action on these stories. Detailed analysis, informed debate, and erudite banter abound on this edition of Yet Another Gaming Show, now in Spectrovision!
