Leah — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 01:23:21 +0000

We hope everyone has had/is having a perfectly wonderful holiday season! We know we are; after all, thanks to this week’s special guests, Dan and Joe, we finally get to gorge ourselves upon the long-awaited Fudgie the Whale! What better way to celebrate the coming of the new year than with chocolate crunchies and talk about (what else?) VIDEO GAMES? Rather than our usual setup, we have a chat about the games that stood out for us in the year 2009. Do you agree? Let us know!

So, uh… yeah. We ate a lot of turkey before recording this episode. Like, a LOT. So if we sound exhausted, it’s because all that hard work of digesting is getting to us and we are mere steps away from comas. Not to be deterred, we tough it out to give you a holiday show filled with awesomeness! Wake up from your own turkey haze and join us to chat about the many uses of XBox Live, men marrying video game characters, and why stabbing people is awesome.
