Ringing in the New Year and Holiday Cheer with Games Near and DearThe last minute games are under the tree, the hosts are scattered to

the four winds, and we leave 2014 with a collection of the best - and

worst - in gaming and other televised entertainment. As always, the

year-ender starts with a countdown of each host's top 5 games of the

year. Did Austen put a Nintendo game in his list? Could Donald have a

top 10 list without a Pokemon RPG? What in tarnation did Stephen pick?

(Hint: One of his games is confirmed on sale during Christmas.) After

the countdown comes some other awards, ranging from the Cluster-*ditto*

Of The Year to Best Re-Game and more. After that, we run the

countdown back to 3 and tackle the year in Whatcha Watchin', which is

probably the most predictable list of the night. After a brief bit of

podcast year-in-review, we look back at the predictions we made on the

last show and continue to live up to the guarantee: All predictions

wrong or your money back. Finally, we predict our 2015 GOTYs as a

lead-in to a massive prediction segment - you know it's big when even

Donald is in double digits for his prediction count. This will

wrap up the year in Nintendo Free Radio, but we can proudly announce

that our most prominent blank will be filled in New Year's Day, as the

long-lost Episode 37 will be released. See why it's the nexus of the

show in general. Also, next time we have a new episode, for our dramatic

episode 50 we will be watching a movie that recently celebrated its

25th anniversary, In honor of the 25th anniversary of what it was made

for... THE WIZARD. We hope you'll join us as we poison the well on the

movie too hot for Box Office Poison. This podcast was recorded on

December 14 and edited by Donald Theriault and Austen Parkin. All clips
