In addition to the music, VGL concerts also include video footage from the games, synchronized to the music and projected on large screens at performances. Due to ESRB regulations and the environment of the show, all footage is approved for all ages, meaning graphic violence in some of the game music played (ie: Halo, Medal of Honor, God of War) is never shown during a concert. Some VGL concerts may also include exclusive "never-before-seen" video game footage from games that have yet to be released.
VGL also boasts energetic lighting (also synchronized with the music), special fx, interactive music segments with the crowd, pre and post show festival activities, and interactive onstage games for selected audience members to participate in. Examples include an onstage Frogger competition, and a "live-action" rendition of Space Invaders.HEHEHEHEHEHEHE~ <3 AND PEOPLE COSPLAY AT IT ALL THE TIMEEEEEE~ LOL WHAT
