Twitter spam, american politics, Hero Academy,  the Battlefield 3 State of the Union, Insane 2 and Oil Rush.  Appologies in advance.

Sex with Coke Zero, KoA: Reckoning demo, The Witcher 2, Rango, Viking: Battle for Asgard, Hero Academy and a rather long chat about fitness/diet/running up mountains and basketball to close this MFer out.

This week Pete is hyped for the Vita but P+J start to imagine all the ways Sony is gonna eff it up, Apple is breaking up with hipsters, House of the Dead: Overkill, Socom 4 and listener questions are answered with stunning detail.  Tasty or mild.

I honestly don't remember what we talked about this week and we just recorded it like 3 hours ago.  That can't be a good sign.  I know I discussed my hatred for Microsoft and that I beat Mario.  But, really, I have no idea.  Enjoy!!!!

It wasn't intentional but we talk about things that tend to make sane people look for the fast forward button, like: Achievements!  Kinect!  Digital Distribution vs Brick and Mortar!  The Elder Scrolls!  SOPA!  And hold on to your hats because we discuss some headphones. LOOK OUT!

This week Pete and James sit down with a gigantic bunch of listener mail.  There is also a $20 (PSN/XBLA/Steam) contest inside in an effort to crowdsource the greatest finding of our time.

This week Pete lays down his foolhardy plan for videogame buying/restraint in 2012 and then it's GotY time with TONS of listener submitted lists and a couple lists from us.  It's awesome, because of you guys.  Thanks.

James has to wait a bit longer for his futuristic computer/tablet, Onlive on tablets starts to show some interesting possibilities. The second half of the fall is recapped.  That's right, more Battlefield 3 and Skyrim talk.  Yis!

James and Pete look back at the first half of the year and realize that the majority of the games make them furious.  Surly morning podcast, indeed.

Pete gives some quick thoughts on Need for Speed: The Run and Saints Row 3 and then Pete and James take a look back at the first half of the fall and try to figure out if what they thought is what happened.  And then they talk about making podcasts and try to figure out if what they thought is what happened.  Mindbending.  Not really. 

Our Skyrim spoiler avoiding method, Uncharted 3 retrospective (minor co-op location spoiler), Battlefield 3 is still fantastic (online), Pete's new PC, Skyrim (location spoilers, mild Oblivion spoilers), Lord of the Rings: War in the North is completed, Super Mario 3D Land is super.

Topics include Dead Island is patched and fun, Battlefield 3 and Uncharted 3 get betas with varying results and FIFA blows pete's mind.  At the end there is a VERY SPOILER FILLED spot that sums up the whole experience/story of Gears of War 3.  Plenty of warning is given before it starts because we care about not spoiling you.  Well, James does atleast.  

A painstakingly editted spoiler free look at Gears of War 3.  And then a small spoiler free bit about Resistance 3.  And then  WARNING WARNING at 46 minutes starts a SPOILER FILLED SPOILERAMA (with ample warning before it begins) of Resistance 3 with special guest Mike Phillips from The Fanboys Podcast. 

This week Pete and James delve into the messy and buggy world of Dead Island, go absolutely apes**t over Resistance 3 and then go apes**t over the concept of going apeshit over a game.  Can't stop our shine.  Other topics include NHL 12, White Knight Chronicles 2, God of War: Origins, Renegade Ops and 20 minutes in a closet having a sneaky wank to Skyrim.

Fallocalypse has started for Pete who goes buckwild over Resistance 3, Dead Island and BloodRayne.  Meanwhile James is left wondering why he doesn't live in greatest country in the world.  Gears of War, Age of Empires Online, Playstation play, difficult game douchebags and Dom's beard are also discussed, with words.

This week Pete survives a hurricane with a little help from his iPad, James flip flops on Deus Ex and comes out with mostly strong results, 3D is yearned for, the EA Sports Pass justifies itself on the very first game its available for and Gears of War uno is revisited and is still pretty goddamn awesome.

This week James lives the dream catching up with the girls from Teen Mom, Pete is really into Batman and Trackmania 2, listener tweets are awesome and Pete needs a special pair of underwear to contain his love of Toy Soldiers: Cold War. 

After a week off Pete and James are back with new mics (!), James and Yuko crack a fat over Professor Layton, Pete feels the burn of the digital future he has been championing in, James and his kiwi bretheren get the Splinter Cell HD games before the US and fill us in on the nostalgia and Pete goes on a *SPOILER FILLED* rant about Catherine to end the show.  Don't worry, plenty of warning is given before that begins.

This week there is discussion about the changing of the guard and the twitter campaign to save America, Pete's surefire way to get laid next decade, James could give a shit about Catherine and whiny japanese men, EVO (SSFIV ONLY!!!), Pete loves Section 8: Prejudice and buys Batman (again) to try to Jamesify his life.

This week Chipoko from The Double K.O. Podcast joins Pete and they discuss where Motorstorm: Apocalypse went wrong.  And then they look ahead to the fall and discuss their hopes/predictions for Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3, Batman: Arkham City and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.  It is also worth noting that James recorded his feed inside a sleeping bag.  Kiwis.
