Club Nintendo releases their final rewards, variant color Amiibos are on their way and Sony no longer own Sony Online Entertainment.

Back from his convention for a couple weeks before heading out again Jon has been playing nothing. Paul is trying out Dying Light and Fractured Space while Sean talks about Majora's Mask 3D and Duet Game.

Nintendo starts it's partner program for YouTube streamers, the next Game of Thrones episode gets a release date and February's PS+ titles are announced.

Microsoft held their Windows 10 event and we discuss what relates to games. Nintendo decides to shut down Club Nintendo, and Harmonix is really hinting at a new Rock Band.

Games are barely starting to come out so it's mainly backlog stuff this week. Sean finishes Mordor while Jon plays some Picross 3D. Paul continues with Far Cry 4 and gets mad at Sony.

Back from the break we want to discuss what we've been playing over the last couple of weeks. Sean goes through all of Assassin's Creed: Rogue and a good chunk of Shadow of Mordor. Jon has been playing some random DS eshop games as well as Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Paul continues with Far Cry 4 and Depth.

We didn't really follow the (lack of) news but we bring up the holiday outtages on XBL and PSN and Bungie giving away ODST to Master Chief Collection owners.

Every year, it happens. Games came out. We played them and decided which we liked and those perhaps we didn't care for. Now... now we remember the year as a whole and name some of the worst and absolute best gaming experiences we had in 2014.Along with you, the community, it's been a long and winding road we traveled this year and we were astounded to have almost 100 personal entries for each category to tally up. Now sit back, relax and let's wrap up 2014 the right way...

Not a lot going on this week due to the holidays coming up. Sean is taking care of some stuff before leaving for Canada for a couple weeks so it's up to Jon and Paul to hold the fort down. Jon plays Ultimate NES Remix and Paul dabbles here and there in World of Warcraft. 

In news, Ralph Baer has passed, Telltale is making a Minecraft game and a video game is pulled off Steam Greenlight.

Paul finally starts up Bayonetta 2 and is already loving it. Sean plays through Game of Thrones and a good chunk of Captain Toad while continuing with Crossy Road. Jon beats everyone by playing Picross DS, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Broforce and a good deal more.

The Game Awards happened as well as the PlayStation Experience and a good chunk of announcements came out of that.

From the far east Jon joins us, but never too far from video games. He's been playing more Picross DS, The Jackbox Party Pack and Binding of Isaac as well as Halo The Master Chief Collection with Sean (who also played through the first episode of Tales from the Borderlands). Paul hasn't been playing too much. 

A 20th anniversary PS4 is being released to a limited supply, we also talk about Steam's new broadcasting options, the next Assassin's Creed and Team YP.

It's Turkey Day for a minority of this podcast, not really - he didn't have any turkey. Paul has been playing Far Cry 4, This War of Mine and Dragon Age: Inquisition. Jon goes back to Picross DS, starts up Smash WiiU and checks out The Master Chief Collection. Sean finishes Bayonetta 2, starts working through Pokemon and is excited about Geometry Wars 3.
