If you're hangry for content in the category of "mostly video games", pull up a chair. There's Pokémon news for Zac to tear into, cancellation news for Rob to praise, and TV show endings it's hard for Dan to avoid spoiling. On top of that we add Dirt 5, Control and Deep Rock Galactic to our "played games" list.

Nintendo have decided that marketing in 2021 is still a good a idea so we finally have some proper game news! There's just enough time to talk about Rob hanging out with birds, Zac acquiring power and Dan going on a familiar trip.

Apparently time is still passing as the regular hole carved out for us to talk at a mechanical sound thief has arrived. In this episode, JEDI Fallen Order, Dyson Sphere Program, Gears 5, OpenTTD and some usual suspects.

This episode is pretty grounded. We've got music from Fuser, farming from Stardew Valley, topical gaming from Pandemic, drilling survival from Volcanoids and space magic from Jedi: Fallen Order. Totally grounded.

I'm representin' for them gamesters all across the world.

Not much news so plenty of games featuring FUSER, Ratchet & Clank, Factory Town, Volcanoids, No Man's Sky, Ori,

2020 has seemed neverending so it's apt that we end with the longest podcast of the year. Yes it's "Game of the Year" time!

The Game Awards may have more trailers than awards but seeing as hype for 2021 is pretty more all 2020 has to give we'll lap it up. We've also been playing No Man's Sky, Mindustry, Haven, Star Renegades and Animal Crossing.

Lockdown 2 seems to have been the disappointing sequel to the heavy hitting original, which conveniently describes one topic of this podcast. It's a slow news week so there's more time to cover DOOM Eternal, No Man's Sky and Breath of the Wild.

I think you might be able to guess what we talk about this week. Yes we really are being that obvious. We'll also talk about DOOM Eternal, Hyrule Warriors, No Man's Sky, Torchlight 2 and some other stuff.

A kettle is mentioned.

New website hype! happysalad.net has had a bit of a makeover for speed. We kept the racing green for this very reason. If you get your podcasts delivered automatically, perhaps via iTunes, other podcatchers or pidgeon, you might not have seen it yet, so go treat us with your traffic.

In this episode there's some boxes being removed, controller feels, game delays, Art of Rally, Hyrule Warriors, Night of the Woods, King of Cards, the Factorio slot and more.
