On this week's Podtoid, we get pretty damn vicious about Sandra Bullock, we chat about the ethics of making mental patients fight like pocket monsters, and we chat about how 2012 is going to be a "great year for game journalism." We're pretty sarcastic about that particular sentiment.

There's also yet more talk about the PS Vita, and something about some other videogames.  

Despite the festivities, there's also a bit of tragedy. Jonathan Holmes is sick, Max Scoville is bad at sex and Jim Sterling suffers multiple betrayals at the hand of his own industry. Tara Long, however ... Tara trumps them all. You'll have to listen to uncover her fate.
