SuperPod Saga

[Original release date: 9/14/2023]Hi-Score Heroes was a Patreon-exclusive series, but will be slowly released from the vault and eventually REVIVED as a monthly bonus series starring Aaron and various guests!Aaron, Tommy, and Andre are reviewing the high-octane frisbee-tossing Neo Geo classic: Windjammers!

Aaron + Gerry + Guest + Brazilian steakhouse = a very fantastic episode of SuperPod Saga. The boiz are joined by Steve, who also goes by Blink or Blinkoom, to discuss the wildest video game genre fusions! We'll be doing the Dragon Ball Z fusion dance to combine anything with everything to make some sweet, terrifying hybrids. 

It's SuperPod Saga's (very late) third birthday! To celebrate, the SuperPod Fellaz get together to chat about hentai, Bioshock, the Elden Ring movie, and Aaron gets pranked by Gerry. They've also discovered a cool new band called "Tallah", who has a sick Patreon tier that lets you have a movie night with them! Oh, we also do a Q&A with questions from our community. Cake and ice cream are available for an additional fee (join our Patreon or something).

Aaron and Gerry are joined by Treeky and Mike (better known as Quest 64 Official) to rank their Top 10 Castlevania game subtitles! From Symphony of the Night to Aria of Sorrow, we're hardcore judging the subtitles based on confusion, syllables, how emo they sound, and more!

We're crawling on all fours back into the void, where we discuss whatever topics manifest into our brains. Aaron and Gerry are joined by Twitch streamer Sl0nk0b0mb to discuss things like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, bad experiences in movie theaters, and lots and lots of SNES nostalgia. This Podcast Is Super Scope-Compatible.

Whoever gets the most games voted to each category wins some SUPER SICK PRIZES. We also discuss cool stuff like hentai games, shitty gaming chairs, and how sweet Luigi's Mansion is. ➡️ Check out Keith's First Place Prize ⬅️

[Original air date: 07/12/2024] This week we open up a big 'ol pickle jar full of weird oddities from the PlayStation library. Sometimes weird games are good - are all of these? No. Are some? Hell yeah.

There are many questions that we ask ourselves throughout our lives—one of which is "do games need remakes?". This week, Aaron and Gerry are joined by Joe (formerly of Mega Boobs) to not only answer that question, but also to chat about some good remakes, some bad remakes, and ones that were totally unecessary. Plop them buds into your ears and get ready to rumble. 

DISCLAIMER: we'll be talking about some pretty heavy shit this episode. The SuperPod Dudes are taking it easy this week and chatting about one of their favorite manga series: Berserk! I know, it's not a video game topic. But it's pretty damn adjacent, and it's also our show and we'll do what we want. Berserk rules!

They say that the best defense is a good offense - and we at SuperPod Saga firmly believe in that. That's why this week, the SuperPod Fellaz are coming up with some very practical uses for video game weapons. We're preparing for any and all scenarios that might require our expertise with sick guns and swords and stuff, which we have acquired from years and years of rigorous training (playing video games). We don't joke around about safety. 

[Original air date: 06/28/2024] This week, the boys are joined by Anthony - better known as Video Game Esoterica on YouTube - to talk about arcade games of the rarest and most obscure. There's lots of hidden gems buried here, and by god we dig 'em up! Get ready to look under those tarps, marathon Godzilla while making deals, and smell that chlorine.

This week the SuperPod Boiz scream endlessly into the void about anime, Pokemon, trash TV, and why the UI on the Switch still sucks. There are only two rules in the void: #1. There are no rules, #2. Have fun :)

This week the SuperPod Boiz are joined by Kate and Emily of No Small Games to discuss some influential indie games that played a big part in how they look at indie games today and how they helped to shape their gaming tastes. We also abolish horiscopes in favor of Ooblets. All hail Ooblets. CREDITS Aaron

Get in loser, we're going podcasting! This week, Aaron and Gerry are joined by Brian Riggsbee—former game designer and creator of the awesome Retro Game Books—to discuss some of the best games and other cool things from the year 2004! CREDITS Aaron

[Original air date: 06/14/2024] This week, Gerry and Aaron sit down with Jamie - better known as her internet handle, Kitrinx, to talk all about the MiSTer FPGA Project.

Join Aaron and Gerry as they dive into the rad 90s world of the Genesis - Sega's explosive entry into the 4th Generation of consoles - and chat about the accessories, the console itself, and some cool games for the system. We might even touch on some repressed memories, Rob Zombie impersonations, and bubble gum ice cream. CREDITS Aaron

[Original air date: 05/17/2024] This week we kick off the first in our series of Retrospected & Rehabbed - where we talk about a console, best ways to play today, some fun facts, and our memories with the games and hardware. The console for our first edition is none other than The Nintendo Entertainment System - or Regular-Ass Nintendo if you will.CREDITS Gerry With a G - Host Aaron

[Original air date: 05/04/2024] We are very excited to have our first guest this week, as we welcome the legendary Vimm of Vimm's Lair! We talk shop about the impact that the Delta Emulator on the App Store has made on the site, as well as go over the history of the timeless website many of us have come to know as THE rom site.
