FOLKS! First let us say, thank-you. Thank-you for coming on this ride with us. To show how much you listeners mean to us, we are leveling up, and we are moving some things around to do so.
We will now be know simply as SUPER GHOST.
Super Ghost Radio, Retro Rehab, and SuperPod Saga - all in one place, under one name.
See you on the other side friendos!
On this episode we dig into the games we are playing - Pokemon, Marvel Rivals, and Avowed - but only after being completely derailed by something so shocking, not even YouTube could handle it. We also gush about some of the TV shows and movies we are watching like White Lotus and Drop. We also talk a bunch about Switch 2 and the price of games, and how Diddy Kong Racing was 100 bucks in 1998 (for real).

The gang finally sit down after a rather abrupt and extended hiatus to catch up, shoot the breeze and gush about the many games we have been playing. We give our impressions on Mouthwashing, UFO 50, Space Marine 2, Monster Hunter Wilds Beta, and The Casting of Frank Stone - while still managing to give Rob Zombie his flowers, talk about surgery stories, the origin of raw dogging, and wether or not the “Ubisoft/Bethesda/Bioware Formula” still works. We’ve got it all.

Kept you waiting, Huh? Gerry, Greg, and Beth sit down and get caught up on what they've been playing lately, before breaking down some games they've waited what seems like a millennia for. Sometimes waiting a decade for a new entry in your favorite series pays off...Sometimes it does not.
From troubled teens parented by Disney characters, to screaming "For the Emperor!" in anticipation - these are some games that were absolutely worth the wait.
