    Now THIS is Ray Tracing - 8/22/2018 - Episode 21

    All the seats are taken for episode 21 of Video Games Were a Mistake. During his brief sickness hiatus, Benson found his way back to Dead Cells which the entire crew is enthralled with at this time. Ian is still hunting all the monsters and Jermaine garnered a strange obsession with virtual dart games. The gang is absolutely baffled by Amazon’s changes to their Twitch Prime service, Ubisoft is taking a breather in 2019 for Assassin’s Creed, and Nvidia dropped some insanely powerful new graphics cards for Benson to spend his lunch money on. Did we mention how good Dead Cells is?

    Down with the Sickness - 8/15/2018 - Episode 20

    Welcome to episode 20 of Video Games Were a Mistake! This week Benson was feeling under the weather so Jermaine and Ian took charge and jumped head first into this week in the world of video games. Despite our minor protest, Ian took the plunge into Monster Hunter World and has fallen hard for it. Jermaine finally started Dead Cells and it’s quickly becoming one of his favorite games ever.  The duo also talked about Diablo 3 coming to switch, the ongoing saga of the ex-IGN editor who apparently plagiarized his whole life, Ninja and his “no girls allowed” streaming policy, as well as the announcements coming out of QuakeCon.

    No Man's Malta - 8/8/2018 - Episode 19

    No Man's Malta - 8/8/2018 - Episode 19

    We took a mini break but Video Games Were a Mistake is back! Fresh back from Malta, Ian shared his thoughts on Thumper, Hammerwatch, and his fun adventures with Yakuza 0. Benson jumped back into No Man’s Sky, played a bit more of Dead Cells, and started a discussion on the 3rd and 1st person views in video games. Jermaine, while he was on the cast, played nothing new at all! Be sure to encourage him to change that via Twitter. The crew also touched on the plagiarism case that was tossed at IGN and ended the cast with talking about the death of Luigi.

    Beer Darts - 7/25/2018 - Episode 18

    Welcome to episode 18 of Video Games Were a Mistake! This week the crew talks about a surprising amount of old games as the summer drought continues to persist. Benson introduced everyone to quite possibly the greatest drinking game ever invented by the name of Beer Darts, Jermaine found a new main character in Overwatch, and Ian made his way back to Shadow of War to move up the ranks of the Orcs. A little time was spent on the future of Microsoft’s console initiative and what that could mean for the future of gaming. All that and more can be heard on this week’s VGWAM.

    Free to Play Fireworks - 7/11/2018 - Episode 17

    After a glorious 4th of July break, the VGWAM crew is back! This week Ian convinced everyone to check out Warframe again, was somewhat disappointed with Fear the Wolves, and attempted to make Toukiden 2 sound like something that was worth playing. Jermaine grinded out some loot in Diablo 3 and Vermintide, then got lost in VR with the creepy puzzle game called Statik. Benson destroyed cars, lawnmowers, and buses in Wreckfest and shared some interesting tidbits on where VR headsets are heading in the future. All this and more can be heard on this week’s episode.
