Utilizing the very last shreds of our sanity, we ring in the new year with YET ANOTHER absurdly humongous episode, this time recorded for you on New Year's morning, 2016. We dissect the tick tock and technical details behind the Steam Store's Christmas Day Downtime, going from Valve's official statement rel New Year's Eve. We take a look at some exciting new and noteworthy titles (the absurdly imaginative "Grow Home," the asphalt and crowbar biker romp of "Road Redemption," "Vagante," and "Blues & Bullets Episode I"), and also take a moment to recognize one of the only true versus-style fighting games avail for Linux ("Skullgirls"), and cap it all off with 13 choice deals for the completely depraved, as-yet-still-unsatisfied game gluttons out there wandering the Steam Winter Sale. Oh, and skookie loses his entire fucking mind. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
