They say that the best defense is a good offense - and we at SuperPod Saga firmly believe in that. That's why this week, the SuperPod Fellaz are coming up with some very practical uses for video game weapons. We're preparing for any and all scenarios that might require our expertise with sick guns and swords and stuff, which we have acquired from years and years of rigorous training (playing video games). We don't joke around about safety.  🦋 SOCIALS 👥BlueskyInstagramYouTubeWebsiteSuperPod Network🗣️ INTERACT WITH THE SHOW 📨superpodsaga@gmail.comJoin our Discord server💸 SUPPORT THE SHOW 💰MERCH: Check out our merch.
