Happy Friday, listeners! This week's episode is all about Super Metroid, and might also be the first time Chad and Dyson have discussed the topic together without arguing. Not a bad way to bring us toward the end of the season. Highlights include:
- The ice cream cart returns
- Sexy Poker ... yeah
- BEEEEEEEEES
- The tale of Hamza sucking
- Backtracking: lazy or anything but?
- The origin of immersion
- Speedruns!
As always, subscribe to us on iTunes to get the show early, or check it out over here. Only two episodes remain before we wrap up our second season, but contrary to what the bullies on the playground have been telling you, we're not going anywhere.
We'll be taking a few weeks off after our 100th show, so you guys can catch up on any episodes you might have missed, and we can enjoy a little vacation. But we'll return before you know it, possibly with some new surprises. Oooh.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Here is the fastest speedrun I'm aware of.
Jesus Christ, 0:55? That's absurd!
Can't wait to listen to the show :D
And MP totally is metroid >:|
I was on the playground yesterday and Nelson Muntz said that you guys are going somewhere. Are you assuring me that I have been misinformed?
Last week, I went back and torrented the older shows, number 14 in particular, to get some more Metroid love. Glad Super Metroid is up this week.
It's almost a phenomenon when Virtual Console sucks and Wii Ware is good or interesting.
To Anthony Burch: in relation to this week's New Gamer Dictionary...
"OCD (Obsessive Completion Distinction)"
Yes, I know that this definition of OCD is used in World of Goo, that's were I got the idea from.
"Intense frustration that then leads to insomnia....and possibly shame."
This is also related to me playing World of Goo.
No matter how many times I try I can't get the OCD flag for 'Ode to the Bridge Builder' in World 1.
I know what to do, but I'm always 1 or 2 goo balls short.
This elaboration doesn't quite fit this week's definition because for most people this OCD flag isn't hard to accomplish at all.
YES!
Great show all around. Very fun to hear you guys talk about it.
My best speed run is 1:15-ish, btw. ;)
And here's an image for Topher (clearly based on Sonic9jct's art):
(You gotta listen if you want to get the joke)
How can i just get the base mp3 file so i can put it on my psp and listen?
Please help...
The fact that Chad likes to say that everything is the coolest or greatest or most amazing thing ever? I love that on each and every podcast. Makes me crack up!
Seriously, that game is so Metroid its ridiculous.
Also, pancakes.
<3
Also interesting to hear the Hamza story. That gives me an idea for the Destructoid comic!
