Watch the cast grow in real time as we're joined on the fly first by Anthony Agnello and then Daan Koopman (aka Nintendaan).

The time has come. After months of nominations, scoring, math, forgetting to do things, and more math, SDGC finally presents a re-do on The Top 100 Games Of All Time. There was math, so how can it be wrong? We'll find out.
