Vinnk and Sean return to video with the 8-bit classic Super Mario Bros., and the game glitch so famous that reputable magazine articles have been written about it.

But this is the Internet! We will show you how to perform this trick (with video), and explain why it works, and what other variations exist besides the well-known “Water Level of Death”.

Sean and Sindra break down the first two days of MAGFest 2012, and preview what they’ll be up to over the weekend.

Will Sindra crash a certain popular games lyricist’s panel? What IS up with that dancing chicken? How many times can Sean be confused for Spoony?

It seems like it’s getting harder to play video games all the time: an especially embarrassing realization when you’ve gone halfway across the country to attend the tenth annual Music and Gaming Festival aka MAGFest, Sean is joined by guest panelists Justin "JewWario" Carmichael, Brenna "Sindra" Wilkes, and Zac Shipley discuss the potentials and pitfalls of the Wii U, the events of the first day of MAGFest, ruminations on the seeming necessity of the waiver policy in light of ninja refrigerator attacks, and the importance of personal hygiene — even if in Pikachu form. Also, Vinnk (unable to attend due to living on the other side of the planet) regales is with HIS version of a fun convention!

Vinnk and SeanOrange plumb their memories of video game movies to find out if either of them belong to the “so-SO-bad-but-I-still-love-it-even-though-geez-it-sucks” club!
