The Blursties winners are in and the results are sure to shake up the gaming community, if not the international community at large. We talk about end game content and then beg game developers to breathe new life into our favorite dead games in Dear Game Devs.

This week we welcome back Dustin Hansen to fight against us in this year's Console Wars - four consoles enter, one console leaves! We pit the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch against one another in a battle royale that's DEFINITELY NOT A RIPOFF OF PUBG (please don't sue us, Bluehole).

JD was alone for Christmas and almost asphyxiated on Froot Loops, Peterson got his kids a Switch, and Spencer fell back in love with an old ex-gamefriend. We look forward to a new year and everyone makes a few gaming New Years Resolutions for 2018. And stick around to the end because we do a Dice of Destiny re-roll!

We wrap up our Blursties two-part special with a bang, laying down our nominations for Worst Decision, Worst Company, Worst Writing, Worst Launch, and Worst Gamer Rage. Listener voting opens TODAY so make sure to vote for your favorites here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3SQLPTY

Christian Spicer, stand-up comedian and host of the DLC podcast stops by to help us with the first annual Blursties - our video game version of the Razzies. We give out our nominations for biggest gaming disappointment, worst name, worst sequel, worst character, and most overrated game. Oh and Christian tells us about that time he beat someone so badly in Blitz 2000 that they never played video games again.

Would you rather be lucky or good? We're usually neither, so this week we're talking all about luck in video games. We get into a 2v1 fight about whether our group is really jinxed and then argue some more about whether or not loot crates count as gambling.

We catch up on what everyone's playing - from Heroes of the Storm to Call of Duty to Ibb and Obb. Listen in for a rant about microtransactions and Peterson's idea for a colorblind mode paywall. And JD makes a huge prediction about the upcoming Age of Empires games.

This week we bring on special guest Jackson Livingston to talk about sports video games and why none of ever really play them anymore. Peterson is obsessed with Mario Tennis while the rest of the group talks about NBA Jam, Madden, and NFL Blitz.

You know we gotsta talk about this Battlefront II nonsense. Peterson has finally found his perfect MMO in AIR and the guys interview JD about his experience with Wolfenstien II. Also the draft results are in and it's not looking good for JD...

The resident idiots head to Anaheim to kick off BlizzCon week in the first of 4 special episodes this week. We talk about taking sketchy shortcuts to Jack-in-the-Box, opening ceremonies, and investor relations.
