In the first episode: We give our review on the last three episodes of Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People, as well as early impressions on Wario Land: Shake It. The PlayStation Home Public Beta began, and we discussed if people were looking at Home in the wrong way. Brutal Legend finally gets a publisher. The Wii dominated hardware sales in November, but who dominated software? Our music break is from Doctor Octoroc's 8-bit Jesus. Then we take a call about how reviews should be made from the standpoint of "this is the only game I can play all year" and that parents are too dumb to find IGN or Gamespot therefore those sites shouldn't review children's games. In the second episode: Microsoft knew about the 360's disc scratching issue before the console launched, however decided to place warning stickers on the console rather than spend the money to fix the problem in the design. CC Gaming, our partner for the new show Friday Night Gaming, apparently fixed 127,000 PS3's in one day by isolating a software bug and forwarding their findings to Sony. Then we play a four-month old voicemail asking what game you missed out on this holiday season. We take calls on that topic as well as missed games, used games, and why parents are smarter than a specific caller thinks.

We begin with reviews of three games: The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, AC/DC Live Rock Band Track Pack, and Guitar Hero: On Tour: Decades. We also give early impressions of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows and Chrono Trigger DS. We look into the "most pirated" games of 2008 and what it may mean for the industry. Grand Theft Auto 4 for the PC is so buggy, Valve is issuing refunds over Steam. Our intermission music is from Weapon of Choice and is by Hamdija Ajanovic. Then we take calls about PC Gaming. We also announce Bobby Blackwolf's latest project: Friday Night Gaming, an internet television show from the Computer ArenA in Roswell, GA beginning in 2009. All of the details are inside, followed by a distraught call from a "first time caller!"

Tonight's live interview is with Nathan Fouts, President of Mommy's Best Games and Creator/Designer of Xbox 360 Community Game Weapon of Choice. We talk about the game, the Community Games initiative, what it takes to get a Community Game on the service, some of the issues with Community Games, and yes, we even talk about if Xbox Live Arcade games are really underpriced. Then we take calls about Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix and it's lack of a playable demo (even though there technically is one on Xbox Live!)

The New Xbox Experience (i.e. dashboard) has now hit to all users - is it a hit? Plus, we take a look at Version 1.00 of Sony PlayStation Home, and talk about what it is and what it isn't. Rockstar Games has finally announced the DLC for Grand Theft Auto IV, and it won't be out in 2008 as promised. Tabula Rasa is being shut down - will we be seeing more of this in the MMO space? Are we really hurting the Earth with our gaming? Then we take calls about America's Videogame Expo, PlayStation Home, and NXE.

In the first episode: We begin by talking about Global Agenda and Pwning For A Cure...Did you see the photos on Kotaku of the event? We look into the issue of content moderation of user-generated levels and songs, and the heavy hand that seems to be occurring in LittleBigPlanet. This is also occurring in Guitar Hero: World Tour, and that launches into why the music creator isn't exactly as robust as advertised. We answer a voicemail from a minor asking us if we believe minors should play M-Rated games. Then we take calls on America's Videogame Expo, M-Rated game players, and content moderation. In the second episode: We wish a happy birthday to all of the current major consoles, which were released several years ago this week. We discuss some of the innovations in console interface design and how the consoles are different today than they were on launch day. We give our impressions of Animal Crossing: City Folk, but frankly, just stay away. A reviewer believes that innovative games (such as Mirror's Edge) should get a pass in reviews for bad gameplay, and be given higher scores just for being innovative...What? This leads to several calls about that topic as well as the used games market, the New Xbox Experience, and why Left 4 Dead will be flipping awesome. Don't let a ninja steal your Wii Speak peripheral.
