FKS #77 – MVD – What Makes You Stop Playing Video Games
Inspired by an ARS Technica article. An FKS Massive Videogame Discussion about what makes you quit certain games? Whether it be bad checkpoint placement, bad game design, glitches, difficulty, cheating AI, etc…
Matt has the week off, so Knee, Bryan, Sniper, and Mark are in on this discussion. Later on we also discuss the video game body count, as compared to other things, ie. religion that don’t get called for a ban but video games do. We’re still trying to figure out if falling vending machines have killed more people than the media blames video games for. To wrap up we take a look at upcoming titles we’re looking forward to.

Podcast #24 – The Massive Arcade Videogame Discussion
It’s finally here! Show 24, our Massive Arcade Video Game Discussion, and you’ve been warned it’s certainly massive at 10 minutes shy of 3 hours.
This puppy is all about the arcade. We cover general arcade memories, our favorite arcades, favorite arcade games, then it gets a little depressing when we bring up the arcades we used to go to and if they’re still there. We then discuss what killed the arcade on a personal level, then as a whole. Then talk about the arcades of today and finally arcade preservation, either old school classic arcades like Ground Kontrol or through emulation like MAME.
We finish this one up with the Video Game Audio Challenge, where game audio is played and the rest of the crew has to guess the game for a point value. We did this in such a way that you can play at home. You’ll just have to listen. Send us your scores!
