I figured it was time to get some questions answered, so here’s a rather unedited take on that. Frequent guest Karrington Martin from Real Dudes Podcast graciously agreed to host the show so that you could hear something besides me asking myself questions because let’s face it, that could get kind of weird.

A big thanks to the following people for sending in questions:

• Kate from Ignorance was Bliss
• Derek from Rolling Misadventures
• The Chrises from Chrises on Infinite Earths
• Matt from Nooks and Crannies
• Megan and RJ from Oh No! Lit Class

This was fun and I definitely plan on doing it again.

Have I told you yet that in the 1990s you couldn’t escape the X-Men if you tried? Because you couldn’t. They literally were everywhere. And there was nothing we could do about it.

Listen in as Devin Warner from Multiversal Q and Exiled comes on the show to talk about the first X-Men game for Game Gear.

Learn such things as:

• Why does it have the same name as the classic Genesis game? Just kidding we don’t know that either.
• What little concept did they actually do well with when picking characters?
• Is it even possible for batteries to last long enough to beat this thing?
• And so much more!

One of the things that I really love about Spider-Man is how big the cast of other characters is, especially the crossover with other Marvel heroes. Maybe some of that is because he’s the first place I really saw that.

And maybe some of why the first Spider-Man game for PS1 is my all time favorite Spider-Man game in the whole world no question is because it’s the first one I really got to play through over and over and over. Listen in as Paul Csomo from Varmints joins the show to finally talk about what is possibly the game that I get asked about doing the most. Easily top 3 worst case.

Learn such things as:

• Have Paul’s feelings about Rhino changed?
• What’s the point of having all those different suits?
• Does anyone even care that this one came out for Game Boy Color?
• And much more!

The X-Men prove once again that they were such a powerhouse franchise in the 1990s. And when you get to combine a few different story arcs into a single game it has to be good, or at least interesting.

Listen in as L.W. Salinas joins the show to prove how that’s not really the case at all with Gamemaster’s Legacy for the Sega Game Gear.

Learn such things as:

• What has X-Men really done better than most other comic franchises?
• Will this finally be the game where you can’t play as Wolverine?
• How much slack can we give this one just because it was on the Game Gear?
• And much more!

X-Men is a weird universe anyway. You can fit in just about environment in. You can have just about any kind of character you want. Basically you can do whatever you want and it’ll make sense. There’s a reason why “Because X-Men” is a valid explanation for just about anything.

Learn such things as:

• And so much more!
