From the weird, to the wild, to the WHAT, ''[[Weird Video Games]]'' is a now-defunct video game review show by "Heisanevilgenius", where only the most asinine and mind-breaking games are showcased to the masses. The show is a result of Tom's self-appointed quest to find the oddest of the odd and get the good word out for the funkiest and wackiest games in existence. From blocks finding magical goblets and avoiding duck-like dragons to tomatoes who shoot fists at household objects, Heisanevilgenius has you covered.


While the show's web site still exists as of July 2020, it no longer contains any content; a [[Wayback Machine]] archive can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20170128162134/http://www.heisanevilgenius.com/wvg/ here].

* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: In ''Penguin Adventure'', accompanied by original art depicting the penguin if he really ''was'' trying to wear three pairs of boots, two mediaeval helmets and much more all at once.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Subverted in ''Di's Baby'', where it looks like he's going to do the ''[[Monty Python]]'' "And now for something completely different" transition, (as the game in question is British) but it cuts to the intro before he can open his mouth.
