2012 is Finally upon us and aside from preparing for the armageddon, there is a whole lot of gaming to squeeze in. In the first hour of this epic 3-hour podcast, we take some time to talk about the Witcher 2, Crysis, and David's distaste for green olives. Of course, the focal point of this week's show is the extensive list of 2012 releases that we run through for the bulky back-end of the show. Gathered by ourselves and then fleshed out with the help of the community, we run down a comprehensive list of games that will inevitably be holding our interest and fueling our discussions for the next year. Grab a pen and paper and get ready to write because 2012 is looking to be even more jam packed than 2011!

In our final podcast of 2011, our friend and frequent broadcaster, Mike, makes his podcasting debut to discuss the intricacies of Dark Souls and Shadow of the Colossus. Impressions run a bit longer than usual to include Saint's Row 3, Trine 2, and a few games from this year's Humble Indie Bundle but there isn't much news to discuss anyways. It has been a great year for us and we are super excited about 2012 and what it has in store for us. See you on the other side!
