The gang takes Mario a-treasure huntin' in this week's episode of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. We meet a new bomb friend, beat up a ghost skull, and get involved in more Plant People Crime Family Drama.

Also:

• Game awards chat and Street Fighter goss
• Flavio is not a person and doesn't deserve our respect
• Vanessa wants to see a big Peach
• Heavy Rain more like heavy number of showers
• Jim, Matt, and Vanessa listen to John get lost in his old man memories of an old Nintendo thing
• Matt blurs the lines between constructive and destructive criticism after he becomes the voice in all our heads
• Billy Ray hates Johnny Brandon
