Episode Notes What's Wolverine's favorite video game system? The XBox I'm sorry.
We're talking about X-Men games tie-ins, some video, some card. These comics are not good, they have never been good, and they never would be good. But they are weird hell and I know you crazy kids love weird comics. Honestly? We get pretty distracted and don't talk about comics and instead Zack talks about playing video games in his friend Dave Newman's basement. Don't worry, it's still a super exciting episode to listen to.

Episode Notes The Marvel Wikia describes Jordan D White as "a panhandler in New York City". I describe him to my uninterested co-workers as the guy in charge of X-Men, which frankly, is a more relevant description. We talk about some of the big, upcoming changes in the world of X-Men, how to best structure a line, and the dangerous difference between voicing his opinion as a fan vs an editor.
Zack’s mic is still broke but he has a service ticket in with Blue to get a new ding dang microphone that doesn’t sound like he is running it through a BOSS DS-1. He does have a new USB cable on order to see if that fixes it, which will be here just in time for the next episode.

Episode Notes Special, unintentially long episode of you guys this week. X-Men '92 co-writer, and podcaster who we stole the entire concept of this show from, Chris Sims joins us to talk about one thing, Arcade. Along the way we have some fantastic conversations about, well, most things X-Men.
