Episode 138: Smashed and Grumpy

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS on Miiverse, Don Mattrick’s new job, and Game Grumps changing gears are discussed. Also, Mega Man 2 is overrated and OC Remix’s Final Fantasy VI album in the Soapbox segment, a poor-taste Facebook joke results in jail time in our Hilarity of the Weak, and much more! It’s the Season 9 premiere of Show Me Your News! and because it’s that time of year, we’re gearing up for our anniversary festivities, as we started the show six years ago. Youko, Super, and TonyTH break down the latest news from the gaming world!
