We share our personal feelings about a giant sandwich and whether paying girls to play videogames with you over XBL is a bad idea or a goddamn horrible idea, then we read aloud some astoundingly overwrought poetry about Aeris's death and interview a couple of the guys who made Scrap Metal.

1UP contributor Bob Mackey calls in to sputter about the ineffable weirdness of Resonance of Fate (and Final Fantasy XIII), while Kat comes clean to Jeremy and Ray about the years of her life she squandered on competitive Pokemon battling. It's Ratattaistic!

On Live Update, 1UP editors talk about their favorite videogames on Games on Demand, a service allowing players to download full games over Xbox LIVE. And what's our favorite games on Games on Demand? Mass Effect, Fallout 3, and Crackdown!

Pokemon fever has overtaken most of the office, what with all the fashion shows, Pokewalker mingling, and insubordinate characters; so Jade and Alan update us on what's going on in the Johto Region. And in this week's Movie Pitch, the crew take a stab at (ruining) an all-new Pokemon movie franchise.

The 1UP office has a fever! People are either coughing up a lung, or wont stop trading pokemon. We prefer the former. Some dummy breaks his hand gaming, we officialy become fans of Kevin Butler, and Sharkey intervews a few good Dans.

With the departure of 4 Guys' host, the show shifts temporarily into low-key mode. Jeremy Parish, Matt Leone, Jade Kraus, and Mike Nelson discuss the week's news and releases, and David Cage and Stig Asmussen talk about Heavy Rain and God of War III.

Jeremy Parish, Scott Sharkey, and Ray Barnholt congregate briefly around a malfunctioning studio setup to talk about the recent spate of worthwhile retro downloads, GDC talks, C-SPAN archives, and more.

Kat Bailey, Jeremy Parish, Thierry Nguyen, and Justin Haywald take a scattershot approach to the latest RPG news, including Pokemon remakes, an expansion for Dragon Age, Mass Effect 2 DLC, and more. It's chatty.

The Sports Game Guy (Todd Zuniga), Greg Ford and Mike Suszek as they chatter about their picks for the NCAA March Madness tournament, NBA Jam's gameplay trailer, Madden NFL 11 being "simpler, quicker, deeper," the possibility of NHL 11 coming to the Wii, and NFL free agency's impact.

Be prepared for a long one (get your minds out of the gutter). Alan Johnson (GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER) joins the crew again for some GDC wrap-up and discussions about Mass Effect II, Final Fantasy XIII, Pokemon, ruining BioShock, Star Wars, and our new segment: Movie Pitch.
