Not done a GYCW in years, but I thought I'd do this little story on the time the HMV dog got a video game, and down to incredibly bad luck and timing, it's launch was a total dumpster fire.

While there's some legendary video game contests over the years, such as the Nintendo World Championships, there's also been some downright terrible ones. Infact, they were so poorly thought out that no onr could physically even win them.

Just because a game is released and locked on your system, it doesn't mean the publisher still can't censor it! And this episode I look at five such examples!

Gaming's had multiple "urban legends" over the years, some have been with us for so long, that people mistake them for fact. (yeah I see the irony) so here's five such examples of well known ones that were totally false!

In a world where releasing games in a broken state is already acceptable, you'd think publishers would make especially sure when they patch the game, it actually improved the situation, rather than make things worse. But apparantly not.

Developers get bored making games, so to pass the time they often have fun putting all sorts of naughty things in the code, assuming no one would ever discover it. Well Guru Larry did!!!

Games can be expensive to make, so why not save some pennies and just re-release the same game over and over in different countries with a new lick of paint? That's what these devs did!

Video game demos are often an easy way for publishers to give you a taste of a game the intend to sell to you, however, some of them tend to be a little more generous on this front and accidentally gave you the entire game instead.

As much as movies and TV loves to look down their nose at video games, they have no qualms with stealing ideas off them. So this episode, I take a look at at least five examples of this bout of video game vandalism.

Bit confusing this topic, but when a video game becomes popular enough Hollywood come sniffing for a movie adaptation, so with a free movie license, the original publisher THEN makes another video game based on that movie.
