There are many questions that we ask ourselves throughout our lives—one of which is "do games need remakes?". This week, Aaron and Gerry are joined by Joe (formerly of Mega Boobs) to not only answer that question, but also to chat about some good remakes, some bad remakes, and ones that were totally unecessary. Plop them buds into your ears and get ready to rumble.

That's why this week, the SuperPod Fellaz are coming up with some very practical uses for video game weapons. We're preparing for any and all scenarios that might require our expertise with sick guns and swords and stuff, which we have acquired from years and years of rigorous training (playing video games). We don't joke aro...

Gerry and Aaron describe how the console works, the controllers, how the games are installed, and even the mascot character and launch titles!
