Video Games

A video game is an electronic game that involves human interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device. Due to the current majority of the listeners of True Capitalist Radio being gamers, and forums such as /v/ and Facepunch, video games have crept into the show in many forms.

Ghost has caught on to this himself, and has revealed he knows, or at least has gleaned, information about them, with varying accuracy. He was probably even a gamer in the past, greatly preferring the Sega Genesis to the Super Nintendo system. He has even attempted to get listeners interested in subjects by saying "I know we got a lot of gamers out there". He does however, think young children playing violent video games is a contributing factor to Junkyard America.

The following is a list of games that have influenced, made major appearances on, or have been mentioned by Ghost on True Capitalist Radio.

Battletoads
Ghost does not have Battletoads.

Contra
Ghost stated on 1/20/12 that Contra was a good game "back in the 8-bit days."

DooM

Ghost: The Game
thumb|300px|right|Part 1 of a playthrough by DarkRazorZA fan-made game made in RPG Maker by SomeShyGuy, Ghost: The Game puts the player in the hooves of Ghost (He is in Brony form in this game) as he tries to reclaim his Melting Pot of Friendship from black people. A sequel, Ghost: The Game 2, Goofy's Revenge was recently completed. SomeShyGuy occasionally called in to the show to advertise the game and inform Ghost of its progress. The game is available for free to download.

Metal Gear
Ghost claims his favourite video game of all time was the original Metal Gear for the NES.

Street Fighter
Street Fighter is a series of games Ghost claims to be interested in. He often references it by yelling "SHORYUKEN! SHORYUKEN! TIGER! TIGER UPPERCUNT!", especially as a metaphor for outsmarting failtrolls. He states his favourite character is Ryu, and appropriately hates Mortal Kombat, but thinks that Scorpion is a Street Fighter character.

Ghost stated that Street Fighter II is his favorite game in the series and that he is considering buying an actual arcade machine for his office.

Super Mario Bros.
Ghost recognises some music from the Super Mario Bros. series of video games, and claims that Super Mario Bros. 2 was "A pretty good game", but that it has gone downhill since then.

Team Fortress 2
Ghost has, unsurprisingly, never played the 2007 first-person-shooter Team Fortress 2, but this is why he has never understood the large number of 'Engineer is a Spy ' jokes that have often been directed at him by callers. This phrase turned out to be strangely prophetic when Engineer started taking over from Ghost at opportune moments in late 2011.

On 1/20/12, a caller challenged Ghost to a game of Team Fortress 2. He replied "I don't like that game."

The Elder Scrolls
thumb|300px|rightDue to the recent popularity of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the show's listeners have been brimming with references. Callers tell Ghost about 'Occupy Whiterun' and dragon shout at him, and there was been a rise in references in the twitter shoutouts, such as ArgonianGhost. He got angry at the latter, and eventually claimed to have played it, calling it a "stupid game" and hating it for its "ridiculous unfounded unrealistic nonsense". He also has been heavily exposed to the 'arrow to the knee' meme, and thinks that it is unfunny, to say the least.
