#31 – Do Video Games Cause Violence?

By | Video Game Podcast | No Comments

do video games cause violence podcastWe’re taking a more serious note on this episode of the HYVG gaming podcast. In light of the recent news, we wanted to take a dive into the question “Do Video Games Cause Violence?” It’s a debate that seems to flare up every now and then, and we wanted to see if their was any merit to it.

Here’s a general outline of the episode.

  • In light of the Florida shooting, certain republicans are blaming violent video games and movies to divert from the gun control conversation. Do they have a point?
  • Are we more or less desensitized to violence in the modern world versus other times in history?
  • What do the studies say?
  • Even if they don’t cause real world violence, is there a moral problem with these games?
  • Is it fair to link this issue with school shootings?

We also reference different studies and articles. Here’s a list of many of the studies and articles that helped inform our decision.

We tried hard to find support for the argument that video games cause violent behavior, but couldn’t find any. Do you disagree with us? Do you have facts that support the counter-argument? Please share it in the comments below. We’d love to see your findings and dialogue about it.

#30 – Video Game Books AND More Factorio!

By | Video Game Podcast | No Comments

 

video game books podcastHave you ever read about a book that was based off of a video game that you played? What did you think about it? Are game developers creating books based off of their video game content as a cash grab? Are these books even worth reading? We really get into it on this one with varied opinions on the subject. If you’re looking for books based on video games you can also check out a post we did on the subject not too long ago.

Lastly, Gimmick and Lemonsmith are going ham on FACTORIO (starts at 43 min 10 second mark). They share why this game has captivated their heart, mind, and soul. We hope you like this episode!

Episode 27 – Asheron’s Call

By | Video Game Podcast | No Comments

Asherons CallIt’s all Asheron’s Call on this one. We love Asheron’s Call, and it will always have a special place in our hearts. We brought on two avid AC players (Tee Ess and LOLcifer) to share stories, talk about the scene since the official servers were taken down, and converse about what made this game so great.

If you’ve never played Asheron’s Call before – we apologize for all the jargon. We tried to explain some of the terms and systems that were unique to AC, but I’m sure that some parts may be confusing for you.

For those of you who enjoyed (or still enjoy) AC as much as we do, we hope you get a kick out of this podcast episode! We’ll have another AC episode in the future (specifically on Darktide) so if you have any great PvP stories make sure to hit us up.

Episode 26 – Define MMO, Game Critics, Banished

By | Video Game Podcast | No Comments

BanishedVirindi Puppet dished out homework on this one. Prior to this episode we watched/listened to the following. You don’t have to watch these videos prior this podcast episode, but it’ll give it even more context.

Skylent’s YouTube Video “MMO Sites are Lying for Money“

MMOS.COM PODCAST – EPISODE 131 on MMO Definition

VideoGameDunkey YouTube Video “Game Critics“

It was a hot episode where we (once again!) dove into the semantics of what constitutes a MMO, and why it’s hard to define. It makes it increasingly hard to define when gaming journalists and media benefits from a looser term. We talk about the role of game critics after viewing Dunkey’s video.

Lastly, Gimmick tells us about his new favorite city builder sim. It’s called Banished, and he’s hot hot hot over it. The finale of this episode is Gimmick and Puppet sparring over whether Escape from Tarkov deserves their gaming time.

TL;DL

  • MMO Definition Discussion – 4 min 50 sec mark
  • Game Critics in the Video Game World Conversation – 19 min mark
  • Gimmick Sharing about the city builder video game Banished – 46 min 35 sec mark
  • Escape from Tarkov Debate – 56 min 20 sec mark

Episode 25 – E-Sports in the Olympics & Sea of Thieves

By | Video Game Podcast | No Comments

sea of thievesApologies on the quality of Gimmick’s voice on this one! He was out in the world, and tried to phone in. Unfortunately it didn’t work too well. Other than that, this is a superb episode1

We talk about E-Sports making their way to the Olympics. Whether they should be considered for the Olympics, and what games should get in. We also look at the upcoming action game Sea of Thieves and give our opinion on the game so far. Looks great, probably fun for a short bit, but it looks like it will lack enough depth to give it longevity.

By | Video Game Podcast | No Comments

Human Fall Flat2018 is here, and we are ready to roll! The guys had their annual Christmas LAN party, and played Human Fall Flat (well Gimmick mostly played it!).

The guys share their favorite gaming moments from the past week, and talk about why having Chinese players on North American servers on PUBG is an issue. Lemonsmith talks about falling in love with Donkey Kong Country on the SNES Classic, and wonders if he’ll be going to jail for downloading an emulator.

Episode 23 – Citadel Forged With Fire

By | Video Game Podcast | No Comments

 

Citadel Forged With FireIt’s the last podcast of the year! 2017 is in the bag, and we’re anticipating 2018 to be even better.

We finish off the year talking about the survival game Citadel Forged With Fire. Inevitably the conversation turns to our hopes for 2018, and talk of a MMORPG that may capture out attention. Lastly, we end the podcast discussing the question “How transparent do streamers need to be?” In light of Dr. Disrespect revealing very personal information on his stream we have this question. Is extreme transparency needed to be a popular streamer?

We loved getting into podcasting this year, and are thankful for all our readers. If you have a gaming related question you want us to talk about, please put it in the comments below! We’ll attack it!
