Controllers

Controllers

Let's talk controllers. You need one for every game you play, except the Kinect, which nobody played. This time we'll touch on The NES, SNES, and Genesis controllers as well as some of the more famous and infamous third party options. There are way too many to fit into one episode so look for a part 2 to this one down the road.

Games I'd Launch Into The Sun

Games I'd Launch Into The Sun

These are games I have a personal vendetta against. Games I hate so much they got their own episode. This episode has bad words in it. A lot of them.
