Here's to all those to try and travel on a UK train service. We are a brave and stupid people, willing to submit to the will of those stupider still, the train operators.

I know, I know. This SaladCast is really late. I did that thing where you sit down to do a speicifc task and then end up doing something else, several times, like an idiot. So news and things have probably happened since we recorded this but we've been playing old stuff anyway. Enjoy.

"Negative Chromostereopsis" is one of the words I learnt this year and so are “post-truth” and “Brexit”. But while there's a lot of bad stuff to take away from this year you can also learn about the great year of games we’ve had and the SaladCast is ready to educate you. There’s also some sucky stuff for balance and fun but let’s celebrate! This special SUPER-LONG episode has us figuring the best of the best that we saw and honoring them with possibly the least prestigious GOTY on the internet.
