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!

The year is winding down and we still have a lot to play and discuss before our end of the year shows. This week, Brad finished Dark Souls and has a bone to pick with some of the more eccentric fans of the game and Nick discusses the recent Deus Ex DLC. Skyward Sword continues to disappoint so we talk about Twilight Princess instead. Who would have thought that 251 episodes later, we would be talking about Twilight Princess again? O yeah... Nick wants to buy a Vita but the decision doesn't seem to be that easy in light of the launch sales numbers from Japan.

What a week! In the first segment, Jack serenades us with tales of Trine 2 and Brad quits Skyward Sword (maybe?). We rattle off some great discussion surrounding some of the underdogs of 2011 such as Binding of Isaac and Stacking. Of course, this would not be a true video game podcast if we did not take the time to discuss some of the major trailers from this year's shitty Spike VGAs. We cover The Last of Us, Alan Wake American Nightmare, and of course, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance! This is one episode you won't want to miss! Did I mention that we kick started our community holiday stories segment? Feel free to drop into the forums to tell us about your holiday tales!

Nick starts the show off strong this week by saying the wrong show number! In episode 249, the guys discuss their complex feelings about the recently released Zelda game, Skyward Sword. David shares his feelings on Need for Speed the Run and Nick chimes in with his yearly Bond game report. With some touching stories about Brad's gamer niece and another shameful chatter-4-the-week thrown in for good measure, it is a pretty long show this week. With only a few short weeks until our annual end-of-the-year award shows, there is still so much to play and discuss. Join us!

Happy Thanksgiving! Or at least it was. Unfortunately, everyone except Bob was sick and thankful for little as we could feel our bodies rotting from within. Still though, we hunkered on and discussed Assassins Creed: Revelations, Skyrim, Nightmare Kitchens, brewing, Modern Warfare 3 and more!

Our reduced line-up this week manages to stay relatively focused on gaming discussions with only a few minor distractions. Brad and Nick discuss their opinions of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and how it compares to previous Zelda titles while Jack fills everyone in on the recently released Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, particularly Peace Walker. The back half of the show is filled with plenty of community interaction and despite our best efforts, Hitman becomes a major topic of discussion.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if 4PP won two podcast awards? Well it looks like you get a podcast full of Twilight discussion and a terrible new definition for "Black Eyed Peas" experience. If that doesn't tickle your balls then how does some Skyward Sword and Assassin's Creed Revelations sound? Well if that doesn't do it for you... GTFO!

As if foretold by the gods, Nick has fallen ill just in time for the release of Skyrim, leaving Brad to lead this week's shenanigans! Plenty of games are discussed and Nolan makes his triumphant return to the show following several week's of absence. Enjoy!

Yo Dawg, I heard you like Skyrim. So I made a podcast about Skyrim so you can listen to it while you play Skyrim, and Skyrim while you Skyrim!

Joseph sits down with Nick Henderson, Bob Webb, and Chris Davis to discuss all things Nord and Sword. But that's not all. They also touch on War in the North, Saints Row 3, Beard eating and more!

DRAGONBORN!!
