Trivia Night Shenannigans Episode Description KVGT returns with a new episode full of post-holiday recovery, gaming catch-ups, and the kind of conversations that only happen when four long-time friends get comfortable behind the mics. Jeremy, Patrick, Kevin, and Frank share New Year reflections, recent adventures, and what they’ve been playing lately before diving into a brand-new segment that’s already destined to return. To cap things off, Jeremy hosts the first-ever KVGT Video Game Trivia, putting the crew’s gaming knowledge to the test and proving that confidence, creativity, and wrong answers can be just as entertaining as getting things right. Topics Covered Housekeeping .Testing out audio-only YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. Ongoing experimentation with content formats as KVGT settles into its monthly groove. Life Updates (Non-Gaming) Jeremy talks Christmas celebrations, post-holiday sickness, and ringing in the New Year. Patrick reflects on the holidays, a trip to Monterey Bay, and a refreshed mindset heading into the new year. Kevin dives into anime season, catching up on shows like One Punch Man, Ranma ½, Tengoku Daimakyo, and Wise Man’s Grandchild, plus dealing with a New Year cold. Frank checks in with his own post-holiday routine and day-to-day updates. Lighthearted (and sometimes unfortunate) food and health stories make their way into the mix. What We’ve Been Playing Jeremy: Lunar: Silver Star Story Remastered, Kirby Air Ride, Marvel Rivals, and a selection of retro games while family was visiting, including Goof Troop (SNES). Plus multiplayer chaos with Liar’s Bar, Lethal Company, Don’t Scream Together, and REPO. Patrick: Multiplayer horror nights with Lethal Company, Liar’s Bar, Don’t Scream Together, and REPO, alongside Marvel Rivals, Lost Records, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Dead Island, Black Myth: Wukong, and RV There Yet. Frank: Settling into longer sessions with Fallout Shelter, Fallout 4, and RimWorld. Kevin: Spending time in New World, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Mario Party. Video Game Trivia  The debut of KVGT Video Game Trivia, hosted by Jeremy. Questions covering iconic characters, classic games, console history, studios, and memorable gaming moments. A mix of confident answers, wild guesses, and creative wrong responses. Friendly competition, laughter, and just enough chaos to guarantee this won’t be the last time trivia shows up on KVGT. Notable Moments The realization that holiday recovery sometimes takes longer than the holidays themselves. Kevin casually listing anime like it’s a full-time job. The group discovering just how dangerous confidence can be during trivia. Wrong answers that somehow feel more entertaining than the correct ones. The collective agreement that trivia needs to come back… soon. What Next? Want to submit trivia questions, suggest future topics, or throw a game into the spotlight for an upcoming episode?

Reviving an old favorite Episode Description It’s the holiday send-off episode for 2025. Jeremy, Patrick, Kevin, and Frank check in on life, work, conventions, and the ongoing “we’re actually being consistent now” era of KVGT. After some quick gaming updates, the crew leans into seasonal nostalgia and swaps stories about classic Christmas gaming moments from growing up in the 80s and 90s, including late-night console sessions, renting games from Blockbuster, and that magic feeling when a new system felt like a generational leap. To close things out, KVGT brings back a fan-favorite segment: Versus, now with a new cinematic twist. Topics Covered Life Updates (Non-Gaming) Jeremy’s second week as a full-time stay-at-home dad and the behind-the-scenes grind of rebuilding the KVGT website. Holiday season chaos and the “how is it already Thanksgiving/December?” feeling. Frank and Patrick hitting a comic con, visiting a friend’s booth, and getting the itch to go to more conventions. The legendary crab feed (and Kevin catching heat for missing it). Kevin becoming a regular at a San Francisco pub and accidentally turning “going out” into a hobby. What We’ve Been Playing Jeremy steps away from DC Universe Online and talks about finally losing the pull. A co-op horror night in Devour featuring a new carnival map, plus some frustration with one of the game’s tougher levels. Patrick’s time with the newest Call of Duty and why the internet outrage doesn’t match his experience. Marvel Rivals updates and experimenting with a new character kit. Patrick returning to Silent Hill F for a second playthrough. Frank wrapping up his obsession run with Infection Free Zone and returning to Rocket League after years away (and discovering how “rust” works in real-time). Kevin going deep into Baldur’s Gate 3, including the joys and dangers of “perfect outcome” decision-making. Versus Returns Versus is back, and it’s getting the full KVGT glow-up. This is our “nerd bar fight” segment where we toss two iconic characters into the same arena and argue it out like it’s the most important court case in gaming history. The difference in 2025? It’s more curated, more cinematic, and we’re bringing in a KVGT-trained AI to help generate tighter matchups, add flavorful fight breakdowns, and serve as a tiebreaker when the table inevitably deadlocks. Same chaos, better scaffolding. Samus Aran vs. Doom Slayer @ Midgar (Final Fantasy 7) Samus Aran isn’t just a bounty hunter, she’s a one-person tactical strike team in a power suit. She fights like a scientist with a cannon: patient, methodical, and always gathering information before committing. With long-range firepower, mobility tricks, and the kind of adaptability that comes from surviving hostile alien worlds on the regular, Samus thrives when she can control space, use cover intelligently, and force her opponent to play her game. The Doom Slayer is the exact opposite kind of nightmare. He’s pure forward pressure, a walking apocalypse with a toolkit designed to keep momentum never-ending. He doesn’t “engage,” he arrives like a violent weather system, chaining weapons and movement with relentless purpose. The longer he stays close, the worse your life gets. In a battlefield like Midgar’s wreckage, the question becomes brutally simple: can Samus keep the fight at her preferred distance long enough to dismantle him, or does the Slayer close the gap and turn Sector 7 into a one-person horror show? Who do you think wins: Samus or the Doom Slayer? Drop a comment and make your case. And if you’ve got a matchup you want us to throw into the arena next, send it in. Holiday Nostalgia  Classic memories of opening consoles, staying up way too late, and sharing games with family. The “wow” moment of early PlayStation era upgrades: CD audio, intros, and graphics that felt unreal at the time. Christmas gaming staples: NES, Genesis, Madden, Twisted Metal, and the magic of that first real “next-gen leap.” A side tangent into tech nostalgia, including old TVs, old phones, and how quickly everyday tech becomes “ancient artifacts.” Notable Moments Jeremy calling out the new intro still throwing him off, mid-intro. The group roasting their own “consistency era” while actively trying to be consistent. The crab feed talk turning into a culinary victory lap (and Kevin getting dragged for missing it). Frank describing Rocket League “warm-up science” like it’s a sacred ritual. Kevin casually revealing that his BG3 “playtime” and his “save file time” are wildly different… for reasons. The Versus segment returning with full dramatic narration, instantly provoking maximum group chaos. AI picking a different winner than the hosts, which immediately becomes part of the fun. What Next?

We’re Back, We’re Rusty, and We Have New Music Episode Description KVGT kicks off 2025 with a freshly forged format, a new recording platform, and brand-new intro/outro music. Jeremy, Patrick, Kevin, and Frank settle into the revamped monthly rhythm and quickly fall back into the chaotic harmony only 15 years of friendship can produce. This episode is part catch-up, part gaming roundup, part industry chatter, and part “how did we get here?” in classic KVGT style. Expect talk about becoming full-time parents, minimalist purges, VR fitness streams, sports heartbreak, wild show-floor stories, and a surprising amount of Google Maps appreciation. The crew also dives into what they’ve been playing—from DC Universe Online to Baldur’s Gate 3 to Black Myth: Wukong—while keeping it light and spoiler-safe. If you’re here wondering, “What’s KVGT like in 2025?” this is the perfect episode to start with. Topics Covered Life Updates (Non-Gaming) Adjusting to a new recording setup and debuting KVGT’s original intro/outro music. Jeremy preparing for a year of stay-at-home-dad life and cleaning marathons. Patrick surviving work chaos and Raiders disappointment. Frank discovering the joy (and heartbreak) of finishing TV series. Kevin celebrating birthdays, decluttering hard, and making the painful decision to sell collectibles. The group reflects on adulthood, time, and how much “stuff” they’ve all accumulated. What We’ve Been Playing DC Universe Online Jeremy continues the holiday grind and gives honest thoughts about the rapid sprint to endgame. Borderlands 2 A revisit with family sparks a group debate about gun feel, difficulty spikes, and whether the magic of the first game was ever recaptured. Silent Hill F Patrick gives a spoiler-free but spicy review: beautiful game, strong story, questionable “Silent Hill-ness.” Combat frustrations included. Sea of Thieves Crew-based fun is still great; solo play… not so much. Marvel Rivals Season updates, Daredevil hype, and admitting the addiction. Infection Free Zone (Frank’s surprise pick) A base-builder with a brilliant hook: it uses real-world map data. Turns Google Maps into gameplay, and suddenly you’re defending your actual neighborhood from zombies. Red Dead Redemption 2 (modding) Frank tinkers more than plays, but it counts. World of Warcraft Kevin is excited about the upcoming player housing system—just not enough to actually log in yet. Black Myth: Wukong Gorgeous visuals, challenging combat, and the classic “let me try that boss for you” moment. Baldur’s Gate 3 Deep dives into character creation (yes, those sliders), companion chaos, and discovering how even small decisions echo into future acts. Industry & Community Talk EA’s massive $55B acquisition and what that means for beloved dormant franchises. Switch 2 hardware updates and its surprising sales trajectory. Microsoft confirming future Xbox hardware, shutting down rumors of going all-cloud. The AWS outage that temporarily took down Fortnite, Roblox, and half the internet’s sanity. Global gaming market growth—still climbing, still massive. TwitchCon controversy involving streamer safety, security failures, and community backlash. Notable Moments The guys hear their new intro music for the first time on-air. Pure joy. Patrick almost steals Jeremy’s hosting duties within the first two minutes. A heartfelt conversation about fatherhood and childcare costs. A detour into the emotional challenge of decluttering lifelong collections. The phrase “Balded Gate 3” is born. A surprisingly philosophical tangent about security, accountability, and internet outrage culture. Multiple jokes about character g******s. KVGT tradition holds strong. Frank’s obsession with Google Maps resurfaces in glorious form. The team realizes they haven’t been keeping up with gaming news like they used to and vows (loosely) to do better. Patrick’s recommendation of the week: Big Ben’s “Angry Dad Podcast.” What Next?

You heard it right! KVGT Podcast is BACK! But that’s not all! This revival is a true flashback to early KVGT circa 2010 with all four original hosts! That’s right, Jeremy and Patrick are once again going to be joined by OG Hosts Frank and Kevin! And there’s more. Oh, OH so much more! Is This For Real? Yes, the boys of KVGT are back. But before you get TOO excited, there are a few things you should know. First and foremost, we’re coming back as a monthly podcast. Right now, that is every 4 weeks. This may change in the future once we get back up and running. We’re all pretty excited for the revival, but we also all have work and families and *shutters* responsibilities now. But, if I’m being honest, the plan is bi-weekly, that is every other week. Is The Show Staying The Same? Nope! We’re growing, expanding, and bringing KVGT into the 2020s. You’ll have to listen to the episode for all the details, but here are a few bullet points to give you an idea of what to expect: Minor change, but we are rebranding from Knights of the Video Game Table Podcast to KVGT Podcast. Logistically, nothing really changes here since we already use KVGT Podcast in many places. This is because… The podcast topics are expanding from fully video game focused! All of us still love video games and play them regularly, but we also have other interests in movies, tv, reading, tech, and who knows what else and we want the podcast to reflect that. BUT DON’T WORRY! Video games are still going to be a main topic for the show. We’re actually putting a small budget into production, meaning we’ll have cleaner, better sounding episodes and social media posts. The website is…still in flux. While the work on KVGT 3.0 is done, we’re not really sure where we are going from here. The podcast will ALWAYS live here, but we may end up using the site for more than just that. This isn’t some sort of vauge teaser, we really have no plans, but the idea of doing more has come up. Speaking Of The Website… Yeah, our website was trash for many years. Even when we were active in the late 2010s, the site barely functioned, and navigating around was a nightmare. So I spent a week cleaning up categories (we had 30), tags (we had over 3000. WHAT?), and posts. We actually have a decent backlog of interesting posts, but they were so far buried unless you happened to visit the website within the first few weeks of us posting that you wouldn’t even know they existed. But the site isn’t quite done yet. The new blog hub (called Side Quests) is still just a list of everything we’ve posted, without cohesive excerpts or images, all current episodes are poorly formatted, and there are still around 100 episodes of the podcast that are misnamed, and our about page is…sad. This is all part of the next update I’ll do in the coming weeks, you can call it 3.1 if you’re one of those types of people who love numbers. So, This Is Real, Then. It is. And we’re looking forward to bringing you a new version of KVGT, I think a version we’ve all wanted since the beginning. More variety, more laid back, more of us. Thanks for joining us once again, and we can’t wait to hear from you after you’ve listened to the first episode!

What can I say, it’s been a few years but we’re back! Kind of… While we’re hoping to do more episodes in the near future, we’re still discussing internally what that might look like. And, of course, in classic fashion, I (Jeremy) got sick right after we recorded this and couldn’t upload it until now! But I’m sure you’ll all enjoy our tribute to E3. Don’t forget to reach out and let us know if you’ve missed us!

Are you excited for a next gen already? (XBONE/PS4 Nov. 2013) Next Week’s Episode: A “standard” format where we talk about what’s in the news, what’s coming out, and what we’ve been playing.

Thanks for joining us for another episode of the podcast!  Going to be trying something a bit different this episode with the show notes. Instead of typing everything out, I’m just going to copy and paste from our internal document. It still gives all the same information and honestly it has a very “show notes” feel to it.

We didn’t have any news this week or other types of content, this one was mostly just us reminiscing on old episodes, past hosts and guests, and the future.  

Well, here it is, our last show before hitting 200. Enjoy this episode and bask in all of its glory! We talked about Injustice Gods Among Us 2, Gears of War 4, and The Last of Us, but other than that it was a very light episode. No special links this week, but don’t worry! Next week will start our new format where I think there will be a lot more to offer!

There really are not any show notes needed this week, you’ll just have to listen. What? You think I should still put show notes? Fine! We talked about Warframe, Dragonvein Novel Series. That’s it!

Divinity: Original Sin 2 sold one million copies New Mario themed breakfast cereal We also had a discussion about DLC as brought to us by fan of the show, Ito!

That’s right, we went there, we went old school and borrowed a pretty popular saying during the SNES/Genesis era!   And, in many ways, it was true. Sega had a better console, faster characters, in many ways more interesting games, yet….Sega didn’t have what was most important, nearly as many sales/fans as the SNES!   Anyway, rant aside, let’s get into the episode.   https://youtu.be/15qC0XfoPUQ   This week we talked about Divinity Original Sin 2, Dark and Light, Sonic the Hedgehog, Record of Agarest War, Farcry 4, Injustice 2, Grand Theft Auto V, Friday the 13th, Dead By Daylight, Marvel Vs.

The Wii Shop is shutting down on January 30th, 2019. AIM Shutting down after all these years. Andrew house steps down as president and CEO of the PlayStation division at Sony.

This week we talked about Dark and Light, Overwatch, Path of Exile, Playerunknown’s Battleground, Life is Strange, Far Cry 4, Friday the 13th, and Gears of War 4. We also talked about the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 headphones that are absolutely amazing! In the news: The Secret World is getting a TV Series Battle.net is back!  Rockstar being sued again? No Man Sky’s Update is massive and finally adding many features it promised. Have Amazon Prime and Overwatch? Get some free loot boxes!

Back to a normal episode this week! Patrick was feeling a bit out of it, and you might be able to tell towards the end, but we had a bunch of fun, so we hope you will, too! So, what did we talk about?  I’m so happy you asked!  We talked about Final Fantasy XIV, Overwatch, Jackbox Party Pack, Cards Against Humanity, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, Playerunknown’s Battleground, Friday the 13th, Far Cry 4, Gears of War 4, and Injustice 2! We also talked about Rick and Morty, which was something that caught Patrick’s eye this week.     Just two news stories this week.  The first is that Kingdom Hearts III will have Toy Story and is finally getting a release date…maybe. The second was the problems Final Fantasy XIV has been having since Stormblood came out!
