Alex is hungry and fried from a long day of work and Trav, well, he's here too. Emails center on playing retro games remotely, ranking our favorite sub sandwiches franchises, getting in the zone, and games not made in the US or Japan. Pack it up, we're heading to 1994.

How was Trav's time at MAGFest? Is Revolution X really that bad? Would you marry Shaq? All this and more. Plus, Blake sends an angry email that forces Trav and Alex to field difficult questions. Other emails ask how much time gets devoted to podcasting and video making and what Alex was up to before becoming SNESdrunk.

In this first episode of the new year, it's the same old drunk friends riffing on meditation, wings, Wii Shop games, and hot sauce. We need more emails so get on it!

Trav is on vacation! But fear not! Michelle from Petee's Power Hour is here to chat with Alex, read some emails, and discuss working out and doing Spartan races. We answer those hard hitting questions like "What games / movies make Alex cry?" And... "Can Michelle not talk about a game that is NOT an RPG?" [spoiler] Probably not.
