Sure, a cash prize Super Smash Bros. tournament is already pretty enticing on its own.

However, comedians riffing, talking trash, etc. is a pretty damn nice frosting on a solid cake.

Game On is promising all of this and more with the likes of Jak Knight and Jamel Johnson and more on that aforementioned panel of comedians.

Best of all, it’s FREE to watch. Get more details here.
