Games are moving slowly so we all dip into the back catelogs. Paul plays some Warframe and Binding of Isaac. Jon is starting Final Fantasy 4, Galak-Z, and continuing with Pokemon Picross. Sean dives head first back into Super Mario Maker and tries out Assassin's Creed Syndicate. 

News has us talking about the Oculus Rift's release date and price point and the amazing new Emotional Games Awards.

The year is over and so are games so we talk about our favorite from this last year of 2015. Come and find out each of the hosts' top ten lists along with their biggest surprises, disappointments, and more. We also had a survey running for the last month or so for our community and we tallied the votes and reveal what our listeners chose as their favorite games as well.

With the holiday rush starting to happen, we had to record a day early and a man short. Luckily, Paul's co-host over at Burning Barrel was ready to fill in for some video game talk! And boy, has he played a bunch of stuff. Paul has been playing Just Cause 3 while Jon has only been playing Pokemon Picross.

From all of us at TDP, have a happy and safe holiday season! Remember to take some time off the screen and spend it with those you care about.

NOTE: Apologies for the audio quality this week. We had a few technical issues and this was the best we could get it. Sorry and we love you.

Not a whole lot happening on the game front this week. Paul makes it home while Jon goes for a weekend trip to Seattle and gets stuck on crappy roads. All three hosts played Pokemon Picross and Sean keeps on with Just Cause 3.
