Joseph Fait's Top 8 of 2013 Jan 11, 2014

Show notes

Better late than never, right?

As Joe has distanced himself from reviewing games and the sort, he didn't get around to playing a ton in 2013. But, we love him, and we wanted to make sure he got his spot to talk about what he loved from 2013. Enjoy!

IP160p5: 2013 Game of the Year Show Day 5 Jan 10, 2014

Show notes

The last day. It’s time to decide the podcast’s 2013 Game of the Year.

1. We’re spacing over 5 days, not because we really want to be like Giant Bomb, but because there is so much of it.

2. Spoilers are fair game here. We will talk about important moments in the games we discuss with no warning, so keep that in mind.

3. We break it down into the Top 3, then pick a winner. Yes, exactly how Giant Bomb does it. They do it right.

IP159: Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby Jan 06, 2014

Show notes

This podcast is so late, we're not even going to address it!

Breakdown:

It’s a more “condensed” crew this week, with just Alex, Scott and Nabeshin. Of course, we still manage to be exceptionally late and exceptionally long.
Keep in mind, Alex is at his mom’s house, so he doesn’t have his good mic.
We go through our weeks, which are mostly relaxing, and go straight to the games!
Tons of Beyond Two Souls talk, Zelda, Starbound, Zelda and Hearthstone!
We break right into news, which is pretty much just the Nintendo Direct news.
We reflect on the past year and last years Game of the Year show before closing out the show.
Nabeshin’s final question of 2013 has us thinking up IP memes for a “12 Days of Irrational Christmas” parody song.
