2022-12-07 01:59:17 +0000 UTCPaper Mario can definitely manipulate 3d objects, it's one of his signature abilities that other people in the paper Mario games lack and how he beats bosses in two of the games.

2022-12-06 01:08:19 +0000 UTCBrandon, I'm so sorry. You've had so many frustrating things happen the past few months. Nice work still finding a way to get things happening for the recording, but sure wish you didn't have to deal with it in the first place. The looser and free-for-all spirit of this episode was fun. Nice work pulling everything together on such short notice, Alex. Ash made so many convincing arguments in Violence Island! You had me persuaded every time haha! You're such a fun guest to hear from. Good to have you back
