Just like to take a moment to say thank you everyone. It's been so fantastic, all the awesome support, the chats, the Twitch streams. This has been such a great year for the three of us dorks, and it's all because of you rad people. I hope whatever you do this festive month that you have a great time with whoever you spend that time with, and a great start to 2019. Can't wait to sort through all the malarkey again next year! :D

Get cosy Xbox have their X0 event on, and we’ve got the scoop of all the things you do and don’t care about from Microsoft’s event. Plus, lawsuits galore, and just what is going on with Final Fantasy these days.

We’ve been playing a bit. Sam’s sunk his teeth into Return of the Obra Dinn, and of all things mobile games?! Paul’s done more shooty bangs in Western time. Andrew? He’s done some Crusader of Light and some good ol’ Runescape.

Also, congratulations to Ryu for being our Damsel winner!

Hope you’re all in high spirits! We’ve got a bunch of stuff to tell you about. From Smash to Diablo on Mobile, Uninstallers that destroy all your stuff, to games that delete themselves. It’s back to the grind I suppose!

Paul’s got all the deets on that Rooty Tooty Cowboy Shooty game. Andrews played that Cthulu game, and Sam is playing Delta Rune, right now, during the podcast.
