Episode 375: Beware the Crab Lasers of Doom
Friday Jun 28, 2019
Friday Jun 28, 2019
Paul's back for an episode, as the crew still has E3 on the mind, and still discuss stuff from the show. In fact, the conversation remains so much on E3, half of the scheduled news items don't get done. Instead, it's just a reunion of sorts as the rambling goes on and on. The news that does get discussed includes:
Final Fantasy VIII Remastered PC will get exclusive features
NBA 2K19 fans are unhappy at an increase in the number of in-game unskippable ads
Let us know what you think.

Episode 350: Audio Problems
Thursday Oct 18, 2018
Thursday Oct 18, 2018
Unfortunately, Skype decided that since Jonah's webcam was connected, he wanted to use the webcam's mic instead of the actual mic Jonah uses, making it sound like he's in the next room talking to the others. It's unfortunate, since this was the 350th episode of the Videogame Roundtable and longtime co-host Paul Nowak took the time from his busy schedule to join in the landmark episode. This week's news includes:
Skybound Games will finish the final season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead
Star Citizen’s latest promise rakes in almost a million dollars
Blizzard denies Diablo: Reign of Terror is a BlizzCon leak
Microsoft looking to partner with new Japanese studios
Report: PS4 users are setting messages to private after discovering new bug that bricks consoles

Episode 333: Celebration Time!
Monday Apr 23, 2018
Monday Apr 23, 2018
After 11 years, VGRT Gaming Podcast, nee "Technical Diversions (TD) Gaming Podcast", has hit the magic 500th episode, with not only former co-host Paul Nowak joining in on the celebration, but 2Old2Play's Derek Nolan and former co-host Dan Quick sending their congrats as well. Paul's presence is the go-ahead to give TJ and Scott permission to razz Jonah to no end, while Parker Brother board games are compared. This week's Gaming Flashback is World of Goo. The news for this magical 500th episode includes:
"King of Kong" star stripped of high scores, banned from competition
Croteam and Devolver promise a "brutally bigger" new Serious Sam
SNK teasing its own classic compilation console
Nintendo overhauls parental control app for Switch
Question of the Week: "If you were a classic Parker Brothers board game, which would you be?"

Episode 300: Reunion Extravaganza
Sunday May 28, 2017
Sunday May 28, 2017
The landmark 300th episode was recorded two weeks ago, but the audio was absolutely terrible, with over a half-an-hour having to be excised. It's a pity, because it featured both Videogame Roundtable originals Paul Nowak and Jordan Lund guest-hosting for a massive (for this podcast) five-man crew.
To make up for it, Jonah and T.J. recorded a half-hour discussion of upcoming games that they might check out at E3.
There won't be a podcast for another 3 weeks, until E3 is over, so for now. Enjoy the podcast, and sorry for the middle hour -- the audio cleans up in the last part.

Episode 296: Not an April Fool's Episode
Saturday Apr 08, 2017
Saturday Apr 08, 2017
This week's episode has nothing to do with April Fool's Day, since that was a week ago. There's nothing surprising about the crew this time around, though Jonah does finally give his final (?) thoughts on Mass Effect: Andromeda, and Zelda keeps getting heavy praise. The Persona 5 news item alone spurred a ton of debate. This week's episode includes the following news:
Twitch and YouTube streamers slam Persona 5's video policy
Total War: Warhammer 2 announced with a new trailer
Valve only wants to sell you good games
Nintendo might have accidentally revealed that Pokemon is coming to the Switch
Let us know what you think of the heated discussions in the episode.

Episode 288: It's Been a Fun Ten Years
Monday Feb 06, 2017
Monday Feb 06, 2017
Back in 2007, Derrick and Jennifer Schommer, along with Don Dunn started the Gaming Podcast, with their unique sense of humor and take on the biz of video games (as well as starting a popular World of Warcraft guild.) The trio would move on, with Derrick starting his Everyday Drinkers podcast and Common Man Cocktails site. Jonah Falcon took over, and merged it with the Videogame Roundtable. In that time, we've had hosts including Jordan Lund, Paul S. Nowak, Dan Quick, Scott Dirk and most lately, the inestimable T.J. Denzer. We've also had guest hosts including Hilary Goldstein and the late Andrew Yoon. This episode celebrates the past 10 years, including an intro by Dan Quick and Paul S. Nowak joining this week's episode, to discuss this news:
'Father of Pac-Man' Masaya Nakamura dies at 91
Nintendo is gearing up for more mobile games, plans 2-3 per year
$500 million awarded to ZeniMax in lawsuit over the Oculus Rift
Asheron’s Call comes to a quiet end after 17 years
