Holy IGN's Greg Miller, Batman!
From the App Store description: "Crowman & Wolfboy are an unlikely pair of shadow creatures on a bizarre journey to escape their own nature and find the mysterious "humans". Help them flee the planet of shadows and the life-devouring Darkness following their every step. Will the path to "humans" lead Crowman & Wolfboy to happiness?

From the Smite website: "SMITE is the online battleground of the gods. Players choose from a diverse cast of deities and use their unique powers to triumph over the opposition in 5v5 team matches. SMITE is a new take on the MOBA genre; rather than observing from above the action, the game's third person perspective puts players into the thick of combat. Instead of clicking the mouse to move, players use the familiar WASD keys to move and fight their way through SMITE's dynamic battlegrounds."

We were working on a BIG collab but had to push back the upload date a bit. Luckily, Vernon went through a weird phase where he went and paid a bunch of people money on Fiverr to make videos about Hot Pepper Gaming. Sorry if this is weird. New content tomorrow!
Revenge is a dish best served cold… especially after having turned your mouth into an inferno. So, we did what any sane, logical, red-blooded American would do: we invited the Hot Pepper Gaming crew for a little experiment we’re calling Cold Pepper Gaming. More accurately, though, it’s Brain Freeze Gaming, as we challenged Vernon Shaw, Erin Schmalfeld, and Jared Rosen to chug down 7-Eleven’s finest Slurpees and then fill their mouth with cruelly cold ice cubs as they attempt to review Rayman Legends. The results speak for themselves.
Got a strange one for you today. Sorry that Vernon's ending up on the channel so much, but he didn't expect to have to pour hot sauce on his head last week. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy the pain/giveaway!
This one's from a bit ago that we just recently had the chance to post! Curse invited us to do a live Hot Pepper Game Review during E3 with DJ Cutman working the music! Big thanks to the Curse crew for putting this strange little thing together!

Vernon's dad promised that he'd come on Hot Pepper Gaming if we reached 100 episodes. I think this is actually might be upload #99 BUT WHATEVER HAHA I GOT TO FEED MY DAD A HOT PEPPER AND IT WAS AMAZING
Got another strange one for you today. 99 Gamers have been super chill to work with, so we're glad at they like us. Also we let the video run until Vernon cut out the camera. Thought it'd be fun to give you guys a glimpse into the production process!

A bit ago we were invited by SeedSumo (a cool startup accelerator company) to come out to SXSW and host a Hot Pepper Pitch contest, where people would try to pitch their business ideas, directly after eating a habanero pepper.

We had an AMAZING time and would definitely do something like this again :D
Vernon's doing the 99Gamers pickups again! This time he wanted to spice (?) things up by eating szechuan peppers which... actually aren't spicy. It's weird as hell though. Go check out 99Gamers! They've been really awesome supporters of HPG!
I just... don't even know how to explain this one. We set up an interview with Rami Ismail during E3 and had our good friend of the show Anthony Carboni jump in there with him.

Our very own Vernon Shaw talks about the pros and cons of Tom Clancy's The Division, directly after enjoying the refreshing taste of Dr. Pepper!
Remember when WWE Superstar Xavier Woods aka Austin Creed came onto our show and ate three peppers. And then Aaron Webber, the guy who runs Sonic the Hedgehog's twitter, came on the show and also ate three peppers? Well, we got an angry text from Austin saying something about retribution, so we brought him onstage at Vidcon to call out Aaron in the spiciest, hot pepperest way possible.
Hey guys! It's been a tough past couple months for politics in the United States, so we thought it would be good to review the 2016 presidential election. Hope that helps!
