Video Games Awesome: Difference between revisions

Much of the show’s appeal stems from its casual and laid-back atmosphere. The show is unscripted and intentionally does not focus on hardcore gaming, instead emphasizing fun above all. Many installments are designed to provide the perspective of gamers approaching a game for the first time; to that end, most of the games played are current at the time of the episode's release (though they have occasionally dabbled in retro gaming with titles like Earthbound and Doom), and usually some or all of the cast has not played the game before, allowing for genuine first impressions and reactions.

* [[Bootstrapped Theme]]: ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUNS8pxZWNw Ya Burnt]'' by Starship Amazing has become the de-facto theme to the show after it (and the rest of the album, ''Ya’ll Stop Bloggin’'') was played on the show.
