Why are we getting so many HD remakes of games, and are they necessary? Brandon Shockney is here to discuss the recent trend, along with some of his and Bill's latest games played!

Back in action, Melissa Patterson brings the hot goss to this week's So Many Bits. We're talking arcade game high scores, how Nintendo succeeds in spite of itself, and some of the best games to play right now.

Di Billick has returned to So Many Bits, so we're going to be talking Final Fantasy! Final Fantasy XV DLC, a Cup Noodles side quest in XV, Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition... we're covering it all!

We're back with Dan Schiffmacher once again to the soon to come (Dragon Ball FIghterZ), the coming soon (Nintendo Labo), and the maybe not coming for a while (Bioware's Anthem)!

This week's special guests are the At the Trailers crew of Brandon Shockey and Jon Pernisek! In addition to discussing our games played, we check out the trailers for movies where playing video games is a central plot point. We determine if there are actually any worth watching!

A new year means new guests, so please welcome Shelby Mongan on the show for the first time! We're talking about Zelda, Danganronpa, last week's Nintendo Direct and the good and bad of the debuting Overwatch League!

Machinima is popular way for independent filmmakers, animators, and other creators to bring their ideas to life. Luis Badillo helps Bill review some of the medium's history, as well as a few of their favorite picks!
