Best Light Gun Games - Vidjagame Apocalypse 634 featuring Pastblaster of Podouken
This weekend America celebrates its Independence Day, so we're paying tribute to our beloved homeland with a show about one of the most American things we can think of: GUNS! Specifically light gun games. We're joined by arcade expert Pastblaster of the Podouken podcast to discuss those glorious games of yore where the only thing standing between polite society and murderous clowns, invading aliens, or generic 80s bad guys was you, a plastic firearm, and a fistful of quarters. Then we talk about the new Raidou remaster, break down Mecha Break, string you along with more Death Stranding talk, get changed by The Alters, parse out the week's news, and more. Question of the Week: What's your favorite "gimmick" arcade game? Vidjagame Apocalypse theme by Matthew Joseph Payne.
With Matt away, and left to their own devices, Chris and T.L. decided to do a bit of a looser episode. The Florida Boyz are joined by Tony Wilson from Framework, as they talk about games where the heroes are inspired by heroes from previous games in the franchise. After that, the guys talk a little about Death Stranding 2, the Capcom Showcase, and much more!

The Big Not E3 2025 Episode - Vidjagame Apocalypse 631
It's June, which used to mean E3 time, but now just means there are still a ton of huge announcements and places to see new games in Los Angeles, just not at the convention center or E3 itself. And that is why we are calling this our BIG NOT E3 2025 EPISODE! Oh, did we mention there was also the launch of a little thing called the Nintendo Switch 2? Special guest JR Ralls joins us to talk about our impressions of Nintendo's new system and its launch lineup, all the big announcements from State of Play, Summer Game Fest, the Xbox Games Showcase, and more. Question of the Week: What's the weirdest way you've ever acquired a new game system? Break song is "Switch" by Will Smith. Vidjagame Apocalypse theme by Matthew Joseph Payne.
