In Ask SSJ: we talk about Tom's personal struggles, spoilers, a gift from Tom's granddad, Jake and Amir, lying to impress people, calculators, bad taste Stevie Wonder jokes, the Spice Girls, the importance of graphics in games, inserting fruit into orifices for money, and a private meeting at SSJ Industries.

In SSST: Sony says PS4 games will feature Remote Play for Vita, and EA are ditching Online Passes for future and past games. Also, retailers have to have make-believe price-points so they can start taking pre-orders, and Tom thinks it's newsworthy and I BEG TO DIFFER.

Hm. Kinda makes it look like he died.
