Women belong in gaming, period. And when we say "women" by that we mean "brains". And when we say "in gaming" we really mean "in jars, deep in outer space". Regardless we support them. On today's bonus episode we take an in-depth look at one of the most important female figures in videogame history - Mother Brain from 1986's NES classic 'Metroid'.

PHILADELPHIA - known for a giant cracked bell, bad cheesesteaks and being in 15 minutes of the film 'National Treasure'. But did you know it has also been the setting for a plethora of videogames? Of course you didn't! We figured it was our job not only to shine a light on these games but to also teach you everything we know about our lovely city. On today's episode we'll teach you how to talk, take a bus, and even get out of drug-related situations like a true Philadelphian. So make sure you grab your jawn and drink some wooder, gamer - because Philly is your next level!

What makes a mascot? Is it the cool clothes, the reckless attitude, the finger-wagging guilt they inherit by association? Who knows and frankly, who cares? In today's bonus episode we sift through a cavalcade of videogame characters that for one reason or another, have sold their soul to sell a game. Get your system-specific hats ready and let's get talkin about these freaks!

There are two questions we should ask ourselves before we die - what is God's plan and how many videogame consoles did he own growing up? He's not a real gamer if it's less than three, bottom line. From the onset, religion in videogames has always been a taboo topic - but why? On today's episode we finally get real and take a theological approach to our favorite hobby. So in the name of the Father, Son and Sega Genesis...let's pray.

If you build it, they will come. And as long as LEGO keeps building video game adaptations of properties, we'll be here to play them! On today's bonus episode, we talk about those adorable Danish bricks and what movies (or people!) we would like to see as the next big LEGO game.

Just as Mario finishing every level, we have finished 2021 only to find out our princess is in another castle. But the joke is on her because last year was ugly and we hated her anyway. So aside from resolutions to trim our gaming diet we also proudly present the first episode of the new year. Today we talk about games we played for hours without sleep, bad ideas from friends, funerals for nuns, the trolls of twitter and much more! So tell us, gamer - are you ready for your second playthough?

On today's bonus episode, we discuss the 1954 novel "Lord of the Flies" and its themes of human impulse, individuality, and the loss of innocence. Just kidding, we just put videogame characters on an deserted island and see who kills who first.

They say that "life, uh, finds a way". And with that we finally found a way to dedicate an entire episode to the only videogame appearance (probably) of the weirdest actor ever - Jeff Goldblum.
