It's been over 200(!) episodes since ww talked Mario Kart, and that just won't do. So this week we're going back to 2001, the flat faced, non-backlit GBA, and the pretty damned good Mario Kart: Super Circuit.

I didn't play this one a lot back in the day, but going through it 25 years after launch, I was pretty impressed. It feels like a hybrid of Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64, and for the first ever portable Kart, it's pretty damned solid. Hiding the Super Mario Kart tracks as extra content turned me on a little, too.

The Luigi to my (or Mark's) Mark, ye olde Bradley McCue, joins me on the show this week. We had a great time talking Super Circuit and the Mario Kart series as a whole, and I can guarantee y'all is won't be FOUR YEARS before we talk more kart racing!

And before we race, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week someone asks what my most anticipated games of 2026 are, I explain what (and briefly answer) the most frequently asked questions I get are, and we talk about the leaps in game tech that blew our minds the most.

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One'!! This one features 3 Mario Karts: Super Mario Kart, Double Dash, and Mario Kart 64.

I like to end the year on a high-note when it comes to the podcast, and we saved a bonafide gem for the 2025 wrap-up. I've been singing the praises of Bioshock for years, and finally decided it was time to replay and review the sequel.

I hadn't played Bioshock 2 since it released, and all I really remembered about it was that you played as a Big Daddy. Taking it for as pain for the first time in almost 15 years was a blast, and while I (ironically) the the Big Daddy mechanic falls a little flat, I still can't get enough of the world of Rapture.

Ye olde Tylet is helping me close out the year by talking about killing crazy people with drills and singing the praises of genius Andrew Ryan's world of Rapture. Would you kindly join us?

And before we go harvesting, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week someone asks if the Switch has surpassed the SNES as my favourite console? Am I interested in playing the original Fallout? And other than Mario, which franchise needs to start pumping out sports games??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 great sequels: Half-Life 2, Halo 2, and Mass Effect 2

I knew of the horrible reputation this game had, but I thought there'd be enough meat on the bone to have some fun with this episode and laugh a little at least. But no. There's nothing fun about this game. In fact, The Simpsons Skateboarding is quite possibly the worst game I've ever played.

It does a horrible job of lifting the Tony Hawk Pro Skater controls, and then drops them into the most half-assed levels I've ever seen. You clip through walls and constantly get stuck on things. There's no fun landmarks to explore. The objectives are lame. Horrible voice acting. This game is worse than Homer's car.

I'm rolling solo this week. I wouldn't subject any of my friends to this pile of shit.

And before I choke on my own rage, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!

This week we discuss the idea that Yoshi could be a Pokemon. How would I rank some tough NES games by difficulty? And do I write my games off??

Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 retro Simpsons titles: Bart vs The Space Mutants, Virtual Bart, and Simpsons Wrestling.
