The end is nigh, and it's looking awfully polygonal. For the semi-final match-ups we're stacking the judges panels with not three but FIVE hosts. Can Mario's entrance into the third dimension prevail over Doom's successful successor?

Today is one of those rare occasions where we dedicate an episode to a console rather than a specific game, and that console is the tragically short-lived but often fondly-remembered Sega Dreamcast! Pop in your VMU and grab a seat as Vanfernal of the Super Garbage Day podcast joins us to chat about Sega's swan song.

We can't help but love how the pairings shook out for this round. Cutesy up against brootal violence. Cartoons against gritty action. Nintendo against... well, everyone else.

Who doesn't love being saddled with absolute deadweight? Today we lament those characters foisted upon us who, at best, contribute nothing of value and, at worst, actively make our gaming experience objectively more awful than it should be. There may be no "i" in team but there sure is one in terrible.
