Aaron teams up with guest Jacob McCourt to share and rank their favorite GameCube exclusive games!

We've got Vampire Crawlers, Saros, Soul Blazer, some Might, some Magic, and lots of goofball politicians doing goofy junk.

The gang reunites to chat about Resident Evil Requiem, Pokémon Pokopia, Lovish, and way freakin' more. We also chat about sweet multiplayer games, Greg living his best retired life in The Witcher 3, and how Gerry hates long games. Oh, we have an announcement too!

Gerry and Aaron return to talk about the (mostly) shitty performance of newer games, Super Meat Boy, Plate Up, and some recommended games so random that your head will explode. 

This week Gerry and Aaron discuss the coolest things from the latest State of Play, Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, Elden Ring Nightreign, we confess to some stupid things that we did as kids, and way more.

This week we discuss the upcoming changes to Overwatch and chat about what we're playing. Then we discuss announcements from the latest Nintendo Partner Showcase, and top the episode off with some random as heck recs.

Enjoy this hefty, meaty mix of sweet Sega songs from across three generations: Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast. 

Gerry, Beth, and Aaron chat about their progress in Stellar Blade, Routine, and Digimon Survive, which they're still chomping away at. Then they discuss how they'd improve failing game franchises in a segment called "Series Rescue".

We're catching up with we've been playing since our winter break, including Routine, Digimon Survive, Diablo IV, and Stellar Blade. Then discuss games or series we've never played but want to, and wrap things up with some truly random game recommendations. 

With 2025 done and dusted, the Super Ghost crew assembles for our very own Game Awards and to share each of our top 5 games of the year. Stick around toward the end of the episode to hear us attempt to crown the #1 Game Of The Year and nearly implode into ourselves in the process.

It's the final episode of Super Ghost for 2025! The gang's all here to round-up the 2025 Game Awards announcements, our fantasy critic league results, and we top it all off with some sweet, sweet random recs. See ya next year!

The rest of the Super Ghost crew had to take the week off, so Aaron threw together a mixtape of some dank, mossy, and chill video game music. Block themes: Gone Fishin', All-Out Ambience, Oops All MegaTen. ENJOY K BYE.

Hide your kids, hide your wallets - GREG'S BACK. Aaron, Gerry, and Greg rip and tear into some news and then discuss sweet games like Space Marine 2, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Doom: The Dark Ages, Suikoden, and WAY MORE. Also Greg's a cat in this episode, so that's fucking cool.

POP THEM SHIRTS OFF - IT'S SUPER GHOST TIME! Gerry, Aaron, and Beth discuss the new Steam Machine, what games they're playing, what machines they'd transform into if they were Transformers, and we finally confess our infatuation with Walton Goggins.

It's a big ol' nostalgia-fest! Aaron and Gerry discuss some quick news and games they're playing, then they chat for damn near an hour and half about the 7th gen consoles - the Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3. We talked about peanut butter for a few minutes too, but who cares.

Gerry and Aaron take center stage this week in a new segment we're calling "The Dank Tank". The gruesome twosome ask each other video game trivia questions and for every wrong answer, they have to share an embarrassing story. Oh, and we talk about becoming the #1 U2 podcast, the Potato Oles from Taco John's (non-Midwesterners won't understand), and lots more garbage.

Greg and Aaron ditch the rest of the Super Ghost gang to chat about Soulja Boy's recent nonsense, corporate mascots in video games, the return of Tito, Ys Origin, and Ninja Gaiden 4. After that, they talk about the coolest ninjas and samurai in video games. SPOILER ALERT: we forgot about Sekiro. PLEASE DON'T EGG US. 

The gang dives into the Battle Zone™ to talk about games like Pokémon Legends Z-A, Ninja Gaiden 4, Lisa: The Painful and way more! We also chat about the recent Britney Spears knife video, RFK Jr. having brainworms, and we give a big shout-out to Kansas (the state and the band). 

OOPS, ALL ROGUELIKES! Aaron and Gerry team-up to talk about what games got them into roguelikes, ones they're currently playing or want to revisit, and chatting about how old they're getting. You're welcome in advance for the absence of hentai.

This week the Super Ghost gang celebrates Halloween by sharing their favorite horror games, movies, and TV shows of 2025! We also take some rough detours to chat about Casper the Ghost's fat uncle, whether or not Alien: Earth is good, and the one scene in The Monkey that set Aaron over the goddamn edge. Enjoy, ghosts and ghouls! BWAHAHA*insert lightning sound effect here*HAHAHA!!

With half the gang gone, Greg and Aaron step-up their game and chat about some gaming news, the highly anticipated Fast and Furious Umamusume crossover, The Best of Bar Rescue, Aaron's crippling addiction to roguelikes, and some sweet combos in Hades 2. After that, they discuss their favorite fighting games and pay tribute to the GOAT - Necrid from Soulcalibur II.

The gang talks about selling out and hiring fuckable personal chefs after a Saudi Arabian company buys EA. We also chat about Doug Bowser stepping down at Nintendo and being replaced by DEH-VAWN, our top 5 metroidvanias, HADES MOTHERFUCKING TWO, and Silent Hill F. We also hear Greg's final thoughts on Hollow Knight and Aaron's final thoughts on Shinobi.

We're cracking open some cold ones with the boys and chatting about the September 2025 Nintendo Direct! Afterwards, Gerry makes a formal apology to Team Cherry and gives an update on his progress in Silksong. We also talk about bananas going extinct (RIP), Aaron's thoughts on Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, and for some reason we talk about Kinetica.

We're taking a quick pitstop this week to chat with Thrak and Bill about the Sega Genesis launch lineup! We'll be discussing each game and ranking them based on how playable they are today - alongside a few fun twists!

There's too many things to talk about and not enough time to talk about them! We've got BeyBlades, we've got Bloober Team, we've got JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and we've got rabies (possibly).

This week we're discussing some very important shit like: Lenny Kravitz's Laffy-Taffy shaped dong, what makes a game a Soulslike, how Aaron can't take anything seriously, games that begin with "H", and possibly making a choose-your-adventure game on the Super Ghost website.

This episode was LOADED with stuff. We're talking Metal Gear Solid, Firehouse Subs, the Crystal Dynamics layoffs, Hollow Knight Silksong, Dexter: Resurrection and way, way more. Candy Kong can still totally get it too. 

The year is 2025 - Aaron is the last remaining survivor of the SUPER GHOST crew after Gerry, Beth, and Greg were taken out by robo-Young Sheldons. With the help of Dre, Steve, Darren, and the Carrie Underwood fanbase, Aaron will lead a mighty resistance to reclaim earth. But mostly we'll talk about candy bars, Vin Diesel movies, and gaming magazines.

Gerry is GONE, so Aaron, Beth, and Greg took this opportunity to chat about Pokemon, Digimon, Juggalos, and any other type of collectible critter under the sun! We must defend our precious baby boy, Calumon, at all costs.

The gang (minus Greg) has done their time in Horny Jail and have frantically clawed their way back to their mics to discuss a big ol' cornucopia of topics, like playing The Sims for 12 hours straight, making Lyme Disease sexy again, and how Beth still hasn't watched JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. BOO BETH. BOO HER.

Welcome to the very first episode of the new show (which is also the old shows) Super Ghost! Join Gerry, Aaron, Beth, and Greg as they chat about what games they've been playing and how great but not great Switch 2 is, all with a little Peak and Digimon sprinkled on the top.

SuperPod Saga is gearing up for some big changes. What are they? What's happening? Is Toad 2% Jamaican? Answers to these questions and more in this week's episode!

Aaron and Gerry are joined by guest CGDannyB to chat about Ebola, Swanky Kong's new IPA, how Arizona is basically a myth, and all of the cool games we've been playing.

[DISCLAIMER: tried something new with editing, so this one might sound louder and different.] Christmas is coming early for SuperPod Saga! To celebrate, Aaron, Kate, and Dre each bought each other some sweet games on Steam. But due to budget constraints at SuperPod HQ, we had to stick with a budget of $1 or less per game. OH, AND GERRY RETURNS.

Aaron recruits Andre of Fine Time to chat about the latest and coolest racing game of 2025: Mario Kart World, as well as the return of Dig Dug, Oreos, and how Pepsi reigns supreme over Coke. How does World hold up against the titan that is Mario Kart 8? How open is the open world? When will Gerry be back from vacation? Answers to these questions and more in this week's episode of SUPERPOD SAGAAAAAA (read that last part in the Dragon Ball Z narrator voice). 

[Aaron was very fucked up on ZzzQuil so he sometimes might not make sense.] Gerry's missing!
