[00:03:16] I am I don't plan on ever stopping super pod saga

[00:03:20] Maybe once I finally run out of topics or I get bored with it

[00:03:24] Maybe then I'll stop but I don't foresee that happening any anytime soon man. It's it's

[00:03:30] It's fun to to record and edit and just talk with people. It's great man

[00:03:41] That's

[00:03:42] Pretty much all I wanted to talk about as far as that goes. So yeah, let's let's do that Q&A right? Let's get to do that

[00:04:04] So

[00:04:05] The first one to answer box treats opinionated blushes. Thank you for your answer for your question not answer

[00:04:12] What is your least favorite gaming franchise?

[00:04:19] There's quite a few that I really don't give a fuck about

[00:04:24] Assassin's Creed for sure. I just haven't cared about that series at all for a long time

[00:04:29] I'm not saying that it's bad

[00:04:30] None of these that I'm gonna sit none of these that I'm gonna say are like my least favorite

[00:04:34] They're not bad by any means are just ones that I don't catch my eye really

[00:04:38] Yeah, probably Assassin's Creed. I think that's about it actually yeah

[00:04:43] World Dave Jackson

[00:04:45] He says if you had to win a food eating contest what food do you want it to be?

[00:04:50] That's so

[00:04:52] Funions for sure man. I could beat anybody and everybody in a fun-eating contest. I

[00:04:57] Could eat more funions than anybody else on planet Earth

[00:05:02] Just challenge me to a to a contest man. See what's happening? Definitely win

[00:05:08] Bat aka storm again, what is something that always cheers you up when you're feeling down?

[00:05:16] um I

[00:05:18] Guess my friends and family

[00:05:21] honestly

[00:05:22] They've been like maybe a couple times or I've just like I guess

[00:05:28] Uh

[00:05:29] Every every like month or couple of months I'll have like this spell of like a couple days to a week where I've just fucking stupid depressed

[00:05:37] I don't know. I don't maybe I do have depression. I don't fucking know but they a lot of times

[00:05:43] I'll just spill my guts to

[00:05:45] to maybe like some close friends like a podcaster friends or other close friends or

[00:05:52] They'll talk to my wife or something like that and

[00:05:55] Yeah, that helps. Yeah friends family. It's very important man talk about talking about your feelings. I guess

[00:06:03] Chris A&C did you take Tommy's steam deck? I wish I did he

[00:06:09] Still had one man. I don't where is that steam deck Tommy? Please if you're listening to this, please tell me

[00:06:15] I know I swear to God. I

[00:06:18] Fucking swear to God. We were messaging one time and he said I'm gonna get a steam deck so

[00:06:23] Where is it Tommy?

[00:06:24] No mad Richard Wildlands if you could give past Aaron any advice about starting and maintaining a podcast. What would that be?

[00:06:32] Past Aaron

[00:06:35] Take your time take it slow I guess

[00:06:40] Yeah, don't rush yourself when it comes to editing I've gotten a lot better about that I used to just like

[00:06:47] My old editing schedule used to be I would I would edit like

[00:06:52] Well, because with Tommy and I we could only record on Sunday

[00:06:56] So that following Monday, I would edit the whole episode in that one day and then scheduled it for for release for like next

[00:07:05] For next Monday or whatever

[00:07:07] And that sucked that really sucked to cram it into one day. That was god awful

[00:07:13] Now I split it up between like you know

[00:07:16] Monday Tuesday Wednesday like little bits here and there whenever the hell I have time between work and playing with my two-year-old and

[00:07:24] Of course family stuff. I'll split it up in between like three days and then

[00:07:28] Schedule it for for release for the next Monday

[00:07:31] Slap it on a patreon that those a good idea to early access on patreon

[00:07:35] People seem to like that so yeah, that's cool. Yeah, take it easy. Don't rush yourself

[00:07:41] I

[00:07:42] Tend to be a completionist. They're not a completionist stupid

[00:07:46] perfectionist when it comes to

[00:07:49] To the podcast like if something just if I'm editing a part of the episode itself with a thumbnail and something just doesn't seem right

[00:07:56] I'll spend like a

[00:07:58] Stupid amount of time going back and fixing whatever I think doesn't feel right until it does finally like

[00:08:04] Until it does finally feel right and I'll be like, okay, let's put it out. Let's go

[00:08:08] Thrac what game and series will you never understand why people like it?

[00:08:14] I'm not gonna say Assassin's Creed again. I know why people like that one

[00:08:20] Let's see

[00:08:22] I guess Call of Duty man, I guess Call of Duty like I

[00:08:30] Call of Duty was cool

[00:08:33] back in like

[00:08:34] Maybe

[00:08:36] Whatever the fuck modern warfare 2 came out and then up until maybe like

[00:08:42] Modern warfare 3 or whatever the fuck

[00:08:46] It was cool for like that that period of just like a few years and then after that it got really really stale and just

[00:08:52] The same every fucking time

[00:08:55] People still keep buying that shit though and playing it and loving it and I just I don't know man

[00:09:01] I

[00:09:02] Don't know about that one. I mean I'd never felt compelled to buy a new Call of Duty since like

[00:09:08] Black Ops 2 I think

[00:09:11] next question

[00:09:14] Jynxist says what is your most embarrassing video game moment?

[00:09:20] Man, I don't I really have a good answer for that

[00:09:29] Perishing video game moments

[00:09:32] Hmm, I don't know man. I guess maybe like maybe accidentally killing a teammate in something

[00:09:47] Maybe I'm not sure how to answer that one

[00:09:50] I

[00:09:53] Guess well

[00:09:55] Yeah, I

[00:09:56] Guess some you pick sometimes when I'm playing smite and I make like a really stupid move and

[00:10:02] And

[00:10:05] Then I die I guess yeah, I'm not sure man. That's a tough one to answer

[00:10:11] Kevin dot demo asks if all of a sudden super pop blew up to a massive scale with significant income

[00:10:16] Staff required requirement to have office space like big big

[00:10:20] What would you add on and what would you make sure state? What would you make sure stayed the same?

[00:10:26] As far as staying the same well no

[00:10:28] I guess the office would would need to have a fucking coke freestyle machine

[00:10:34] Needs to have that. I need to get a call for that hold on

[00:10:38] Beautiful, okay

[00:10:40] You know what? What the hell? Oh?

[00:10:43] Yeah, okay. Yeah coke freestyle machine

[00:10:46] There needs to be plenty of lava lamps because I just have a great big infatuation with lava lamps

[00:10:54] Um

[00:10:57] What else would I want so I have plenty of coffee machines for sure or

[00:11:03] Maybe maybe Kevin's talking about add on to the show and make sure stayed the same I

[00:11:09] Guess if I had to hire people to like edit the show and all that stuff

[00:11:14] add on I

[00:11:16] Guess I'd probably have like a better intro and outro

[00:11:20] Maybe like I like the one we have now but

[00:11:24] It'd be cool to have one like

[00:11:26] unfair example, but fine time

[00:11:28] The podcast that Kevin does with Andre and Steve they have a

[00:11:34] They're banging fucking sound or songs for that show. It's it's ridiculous how cool those songs are

[00:11:41] So like that would be kind of cool

[00:11:43] I

[00:11:44] Guess I would make sure the whole show

[00:11:47] stays the same honestly like

[00:11:49] If I had an a paid editing team who had better software and could edit out or fix like issues with audio that

[00:11:56] I can't but I got that. I don't know how to do that be cool

[00:11:59] There've been a couple episodes where the audio just kind of sounds like shit for whatever reason

[00:12:04] So I mean if they could run through that and fix that that'd be cool everything else I

[00:12:09] Kind of wanted to stay the same man. I like not having a script

[00:12:12] I like just doing things off the cuff and being goofy and wild

[00:12:15] I'm gonna get a call for that

[00:12:17] Yeah

[00:12:19] Yeah, that's it

[00:12:24] Adam revival and extinction

[00:12:26] He asks what got you into gaming and more specifically what made you fall in love with JRPG is I?

[00:12:32] think I

[00:12:34] Have kind of always

[00:12:37] Had like a little bit of a

[00:12:39] Fascination of video games ever since like when my mom met my stepdad

[00:12:43] He had an NES and my sister and I would play that like

[00:12:47] Once in a while we were more like outdoorsy kids who would go outside run around like calm trees and shit

[00:12:53] I

[00:12:55] Guess one day yeah my stepdad

[00:12:56] I think I've told the story on another episode, but one day my my stepdad

[00:13:01] Brought in a ps1 that he got from work that he bought from someone for super cheap

[00:13:06] So I've got a ps1 came with a bunch of different kinds of games. There was like there was like Resident Evil

[00:13:20] This piece of shit game called Dark Stone

[00:13:22] There's Kingsfield 2 and of course Final Fantasy 7 and 8 and I guess that's kind of what made me fall in love with

[00:13:29] Gaming and JRPGs at the same time was because like

[00:13:33] They looked so good at the time. They looked really good

[00:13:37] they played like nothing I'd ever played before and

[00:13:40] I

[00:13:42] Eventually played those again as I got older and saw that they told really awesome stories

[00:13:47] Of course as a kid I didn't give a shit about the story. I just wanted to play the game

[00:13:50] This is just wanted to play game game play good that make good game to my my kid caveman brain

[00:13:58] The other ps1

[00:14:00] PS1 and Final Fantasy

[00:14:02] That's it. That's your answer

[00:14:04] Distorted rules asks are you a half wolf demon?

[00:14:09] That's a throwback to Andrew M a little bit of super pod lore

[00:14:14] There's a kid that I went to high school with named Andrew M and

[00:14:19] he

[00:14:21] He fully believed though. I mean he was he was yeah, he fully believed he was a

[00:14:26] half wolf demon

[00:14:28] Slash the element ninja of lightning

[00:14:30] And see he really liked Devil May Cry and you know Yasha

[00:14:35] I'm not a half wolf demon. No distorted rules. I'm not a half wolf demon Andrew is though. He says he is so

[00:14:42] See I'm moving on

[00:14:44] The Cthusias Jeff wet head behead Mario series Sonic series and Crash Bandicoot series. Let me get a wall

[00:14:52] Thank you. Um, thank you me

[00:14:56] So wed Sonic

[00:14:58] head

[00:15:00] Mario behead Crash Bandicoot. I don't give a shit about Crash Bandicoot dude

[00:15:05] Mario I kind of do Sonic I probably care about the most which is weird

[00:15:08] I guess that would be like the opposite for everybody else because everybody loves Crash Bandicoot. I

[00:15:14] Played warped a little bit play a little bit of the first game and just didn't give a fuck so yeah

[00:15:19] wed Sonic

[00:15:20] get head from Mario and

[00:15:23] Behead Crash Bandicoot off with his fucking dome

[00:15:28] Jim's in a bar silence

[00:15:29] You have three uninterrupted hours on a Saturday, but only three before you're busy again for a while

[00:15:34] What game would you play?

[00:15:36] Whoops, what game did you play that would bring you the most happiness knowing you aren't getting back to it again for a while?

[00:15:47] That's also a tough one

[00:15:51] Maybe

[00:15:53] Only three hours, huh?

[00:15:55] Next we'd be like it'd be a bomber man game

[00:15:59] Yeah, if I had to pick one

[00:16:02] probably Saturn bomber man

[00:16:05] because that game is just

[00:16:07] Ridiculous amounts of fun with just like short stints of time

[00:16:12] Even like the little story motor arcade motor ever. It's called the campaign whatever you want to call it even that's

[00:16:17] Pretty fun just like slamming out a little bit of that and he probably like take me maybe like this in like about three hours

[00:16:24] I get pretty far in that yeah, yeah bomber man Saturn bomber man. That's my answer

[00:16:29] James the top tenor show who actually wins the Chuck Norris versus

[00:16:33] Cicada Sanchiro fight that's tough Chuck Norris has a

[00:16:40] Chuck Norris has a mean roundhouse, but Cicada Sanchiro

[00:16:46] I

[00:16:49] Want to say Chuck Norris man?

[00:16:51] I mean the water doesn't get wet the water gets there Chuck Norris doesn't get wet the water gets Chuck Norris

[00:16:56] So yeah Chuck Norris boom final answer locked in the new best hero. Why did you commit that horrible crime in 1978?

[00:17:02] I won't let you forget a real one here. Who is your all-time favorite game character?

[00:17:08] I'm not gonna go with the Pokemon because that's cheating. I

[00:17:12] guess

[00:17:16] I mean, I guess I'd say VV from Final Fantasy 9 man

[00:17:19] VV just has like the best character development of any video game character ever

[00:17:25] Still I'll stand by that to my grave god damn it. Yeah VV final fantasy 9 final answer

[00:17:32] Jenny she says if you can have any guests on the show who would it be and what would the topic be?

[00:17:38] I've always thought it would be fun to get voice critical on the show because everybody

[00:17:43] Says we're twins. I mean, I guess I can kind of see it long hair fucking horse face

[00:17:50] beard

[00:17:54] Did I say low voice? I don't know whatever

[00:17:57] Give moist critical on and we'll talk about like the worst games maybe or like the word games so bad. They're good

[00:18:04] Yeah, they'd be fun. Yeah

[00:18:07] Exit if your favorite game could be any food or meal of open it be

[00:18:10] It's no secret favorite game all-time Final Fantasy 9

[00:18:13] I used to be a plate of like really really good sushi like I

[00:18:20] Could eat sushi all day and night. That's also a food I could actually I

[00:18:24] Would probably slam and have food eating contest to be very frowned upon by the Japanese though, but

[00:18:31] Yeah, final fantasy 9 be played of fine sushi like a good. I don't fucking know California role

[00:18:38] Godzilla role. I don't know the name of the roles. What do we got next here?

[00:18:42] Jake from Gamecore puts the most money you've spent on micro transactions slash DLC slash loot boxes in a single game. Oh

[00:18:50] I

[00:18:56] Probably smite I've spent I

[00:19:00] Wonder if there's a way to see how much money I've spent in smite. I know spend

[00:19:04] probably

[00:19:05] like 200 and 200 or more dollars on

[00:19:10] On gems for all sorts of shit like whether it's gems to buy the battle pass or

[00:19:15] The Odyssey's the Odyssey always has cool limited skins. You can't get anywhere else

[00:19:19] Um

[00:19:21] There's by a shit ton of gems for a smite

[00:19:25] It's got it. I want like I've probably spent $300 on smite. I don't there's no way I've spent more than that

[00:19:32] I don't think so usually get like the 20 or 25 dollar

[00:19:39] package like

[00:19:42] It was like once every paycheck and

[00:19:45] And

[00:19:47] Yes, it's gotta be like 250 300 bucks. Hmm. That sounds right

[00:19:53] And so we get to the the finale here Jared play along pod

[00:19:59] He asks a fucking whopper of a question bro

[00:20:04] Okay, so he has 10 questions actually so let me get a let me get a car

[00:20:11] Me and oh, yeah

[00:20:13] Beautiful, okay

[00:20:16] Fuck Mary kill Kirby Mario Link fuck Mario

[00:20:22] No, no, no, no fuck Link

[00:20:25] Mary Kirby and kill Mario

[00:20:29] Yeah, what do you think makes you a zigzagoon?

[00:20:33] That's not what I think that's what fucking

[00:20:35] Pokemon explorers of sky thinks my man the first time I booted up that game took the personality test it was like

[00:20:41] Bitch you're about as basic as a zigzagoon, which whatever man goon squad

[00:20:47] Wolf wolf

[00:20:49] What's the game you've logged the most hours in the fucking smite man?

[00:20:54] spider Pokemon son

[00:20:56] I'm pretty sure it's smite at this point. I think I've got I

[00:21:00] Don't know like

[00:21:02] Yeah, probably a smite. I think about I have at least like a thousand hours in that possibly

[00:21:07] Pokemon son I have like 400 hours in

[00:21:09] I think yokai watch 2 I've got about

[00:21:15] 300 hours in

[00:21:18] Yeah, that sounds right number four

[00:21:23] Aliens have invaded and the only way to say the planet is to fight them in a fighting game of your choice

[00:21:26] What game could could you defend the world with oh?

[00:21:32] Soul caliber 2 possibly I

[00:21:34] Guess that's that's the one. I'm probably the most confident in is a soul caliber 2

[00:21:39] Yeah, thanks Randy um

[00:21:42] Yeah

[00:21:43] Yeah, so caliber 2

[00:21:45] Would you rather have unlimited bacon but no games or unlimited games, but no game?

[00:21:51] Doesn't mean unlimited games with no bacon um

[00:21:55] Unlimited games no bacon

[00:21:57] Sorry folks

[00:21:59] There that was shittana games then uh

[00:22:01] Just shittana bacon higher place bacon was something

[00:22:05] What's a game that you know is bad, but you just love playing um

[00:22:09] I

[00:22:10] Don't

[00:22:11] That I know is bad. I don't know man. I mean a

[00:22:17] Lot of people say custom robo is bad, but I I mean I

[00:22:23] Know

[00:22:25] The game that I know is bad, but I love playing I

[00:22:29] Guess Wario world a lot of people hate Wario world, but I love playing that

[00:22:33] I think it feels really great to play. We'll go with Wario world. I guess I'm not sure man

[00:22:37] Now you always have the very you always have the very real ad break in the middle of the episode

[00:22:42] Out of all the products you've created which would you want in real life?

[00:22:47] Um

[00:22:48] That's tough

[00:22:50] hundred episodes deep I

[00:22:55] Hmm flavored windows was pretty good

[00:23:00] This is a deep cut but like rage energy drink
