What's Wolverine's favorite video game system? The XBox I'm sorry.

We're talking about X-Men games tie-ins, some video, some card. These comics are not good, they have never been good, and they never would be good. But they are weird hell and I know you crazy kids love weird comics. Honestly? We get pretty distracted and don't talk about comics and instead Zack talks about playing video games in his friend Dave Newman's basement. Don't worry, it's still a super exciting episode to listen to.
