#58 Donkey Kong Country (SNES)

It’s time to jump out of that barrel we’ve been hiding in; your favorite trio is stacking another Shigeru Miyamoto classic: Donkey Kong Country!

JD is up against Willis and Bulldog in a battle of wits when arguing about DK’s size. Willis starts us off with a mouth-full of language while playing the game live, and Bulldog has a theory about the missing Kong in the lineage from the arcade Kong and Donkey Kong (who is supposedly Arcade Kong’s grandson). Join us as hilarity ensues!

#57 The Legend of Zelda

It's dangerous to go alone, take this…

Grab your sword as you join the terrible 3! They are reunited as The Professor returns and the guys cover… The Legend of Zelda. You can tell that The Professor missed the mic as he lets loose right out the gate with his memories of the most epic of games. JD helps the guys remember what it was like to rent games. Bulldog admits things were hard back then. Things get fuzzy when The Professor tries to explain the Zelda timeline. JD drifts away as he hunts down the answer to a question that will eventually lead to a classic JD versus the tag team of The Professor and Bulldog. This is a huge topic making this episode a tough one for some of the crew!

#49 Super Mario Bros 3 (NES)

It's a me, Mar-- *smack*

We get it, it’s Mario. Yes, the final part of the Mario trilogy is here. Well, until we stack some later games. Mario 3 gets what it deserve as the Terrible Trio tackle one of the foundation pieces of the Mario franchise. This might be one of the few topics where guys actually remember the topic the same way when they were kids. On the second half of the show the guys dive deeper into the Mario conspiracy theory and honestly, it makes sense. JD gets prideful of Bulldog as he finally steps up. Professor bring the knowledge hard on this one as he brings up the mythical “anchors” of Mario 3. Also, Hammer brothers suit??!! A HIS episode wouldn't be complete without some type of controversy and this one starts it off right, as the guys sing the wrong theme and are oblivious to the fact all the while Bulldog tries to stop it… (you’ll hear it)

Oh, and the Stackage… Yeeeeaaaaah… :)

How It Stacks #47: Super Mario Bros (NES)

Grab some shrooms and Fireflowers!

We’re talking Super Mario Bros, not a hippie festival (though that too could be fun). Arguably one of the biggest game topics the guys have stacked. This is one everybody* remembers or has at least heard of in passing. Its music has started entire genres. Its game-play has been copied for years. The terrific three go all-in on this one. They start off, like any other classic, sharing their memories of Mario. On the second half things start to get dicey as the Video game movie debate begins. The talk about the Mario Bros movie, Resident evil, and many others. The Professor and The Bulldog let JD in on a secret they've  been keeping for 3 years!

This is an epic episode; seriously...

How It Stacks #36: Golden Eye (N64)

They're back!!!

The How It Stacks trio kicks off Season 3 with a massive (epicly massive) topic...  Nintendo 64's Goldeneye!!! Its crazy time for the crew as the Terrific Three embark on a journey that began in August 1997. Goldeneye has been one of the games they've been more than excited to do since HIS first started. JD shares why he prefers single player over multiplayer. They discuss why the game was bigger than its predecessor, Doom. Bulldog shares his memories on multi-player; while The Professor gets a good point across about the modern state of gaming. This game has broken friendships, and forever coined the term "Screen Watching"...

Can the Trio survive the research as they face off to see who is superior?? Find out on this brand new and most excellent episode of How It Stacks!!!
