What better way to kick off the new year than to take a look at the last one? Crabby returns to help us run down our personal top 5 games that we played in 2014. You'll hear a wide variety of favorites in this show, with only one game making it to two of our lists. Will one of your favorites make it? Be sure to listen to find out. As always our Q&A section provides some quick digression, and we appreciate them all. Thanks for listening!

15 years ago, a mighty machine was unleashed... the SEGA Dreamcast. It came onto the scene with a fantastic library, innovative accessories, and forward-thinking online play. We were all ready to head into what appeared to be an amazing 21st century.

We spend some time reminiscing about the DC, dissect it, and talk about notable and collectable games. Be sure to share your favorite Dreamcast memories with us!

In this episode we open the darkest recesses of our gaming collection to reveal our secret piles of shame. With so many games to collect, sometimes it can be difficult to play the ones you own. In some cases, it even leads to neglecting titles that deserve more. Join us to find out the games in our collection that we feel terrible for never playing.

How shameful are our lists? Do you harbor a secret pile of shame of your own? Be sure to chime in and let us know!

Are you tired of hearing opinions on E3 yet? Well too bad, because we're here to chime in as well. We talk about the major pressers, what we think about the upcoming games, and the things we are looking forward to. Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, EA, and Ubisoft all get some time with us, and maybe some of the games we discuss will even come out this year.

Who do we think did the best job? Did we get it right or wrong? Let us know!

In this episode the collector talk gets serious, as Crabmaster returns to help us dig deep into collecting and completing sets and subsets. Why do people go for complete sets? Who decides what makes a set complete? Once a set is completed, what next? We go deep into the rabbit hole to explore what makes collecting sets appealing. Did we get it right? Be sure to chime in and let us know.

With the time constraints of a newborn for two of us and two jobs for the other, the small scores didn't make it in this show. We hope that we'll be able to get back to this piece that some of you enjoy so much as soon as we can. You've all be coming up with amazing items, and we wish we could highlight them all.

Both Bil and Duke are on the very edge of babyland, and we wanted to ensure that you received this episode before our big days hit. Unfortunately, to make this happen we had to shorten the episode. No small scores this time around, so we could have time to prep for our impending major scores.

The good news is that we are discussing our retrospective of 2013 in gaming. We tackle the games that we played in 2013 (regardless of when they were released) including our favorites, suggestions to listeners, and our disappointments. Did your favorites make our list? Maybe some of ours will pique your interest. Whether you agree or disagree, be sure to let us know what we got right (or where you think we went wrong)!
