Happy New Year! I was hoping to get this out before 2017, but we had super extenuating circumstances that prevented that from happening. Sarah and I played through all the games that I covered in 2016, some of which I couldn't remember everything about, but that was kind of the point. I have forgotten many of the games I've covered, so going forward I think this will be a yearly tradition of helping me remember. Like I said in the show, listening on an AUDIO podcast to people playing VIDEO games may not be everyone's cup of tea, so you have been warned. All in all it was a fun way to celebrate New Year's Eve! I wish you all health and happiness for 2017, thank you for sticking with me for so long. I will see you very soon!

Hey kids! Thanks for sharing the most wonderful time of the year with us here up on Jupiter's 3rd Largest Moon, Callisto. In the spirit of the holidays our pal Iceberg 13 put together an hour long mix of some great X-Mas tunes along with some fun commercials and other cool X-Mas stuff. It's not to be missed. 

Then at the end of the show me and Iceberg finish off by talking about the true meaning of X-Mas. A good time was had by all  This is a real def hour of music and other offbeat shenanigans sure to entertain the family during some Christmas time activity such as Gingerbread house building or whatnot. Share it with the your peeps. They'll thank you.
