Gary's out this week, but that doesn't mean we don't have games to discuss!

Bonus Pretzel Awards - Game Of The Year

It all comes down to this.  The crew defends their games and makes many cuts to determine Bonus Pretzel's Game Of The Year.  31 games enter.  Only 10 make it out alive.  Listen to find out our top 10 games of 2012!

Bonus Pretzel Awards - Part 1

Things heat up as the whole Bonus Pretzel crew make their decisions on 2012's Bonus Pretzel Awards.  In this first half we discuss these categories... Most Disappointing, Biggest Surprise, Best Indie Game, Best DLC, Best Revival.

Bonus Pretzel Awards - Part 2

In the final half of 2012's Bonus Pretzel Awards, things get rough with the discussion of Best Story, and Best New Character.  What a way to spend 20 minutes, by arguing for best character only for it to mean ALMOST NOTHING.  That's what you do, Vaas. SPOILERS.  The categories discussed are... Best Story, Best Music, Best New Character, Best Moment.

12-12-2012 #12 SO MANY 12's!

On the twelfth edition of the Bonus Pretzel Podcast, on December 12th, we discuss games that we are struggling to catch up with in order for preparation for the Game of the Year content.  Games like Far Cry 3, Hotline Miami, Assassin's Creed III, Borderlands 2 DLC, and Tony Hawk HD revert DLC, have kept us at bay this week.  Oh yeah, and the lack of new releases.

12-4-2012 #11 - I Went To A Store And Bought It

On this late-to-release podcast we discuss the F2P Star Wars: The Old Republic, Halo 4, 999, Crashmo and Morgan's journey with the 3DS.  Finals week really hurts the site, and we apologize for the late release.  Game of the Year content to come as well! 

11-28-2012 #10 - Wii Got One, Did U?

We're back after a long Thanksgiving break, and oh boy do we have games to talk about.  Craig found himself a Wii U, Morgan played a whole bunch of games like Max Payne 3, XCOM, Hitman Absolution, and Mark of the Ninja.  Spence played more Black Ops 2, and took a break from games.  Gary finished off Assassin's Creed III, and continued to sob with Morgan and Spencer about The Walking Dead.  

Spoilercast - The Walking Dead Video Game

We discuss in great detail our experiences with Telltale's "The Walking Dead".  SPOILERS AHEAD.  We bring up our personal choices, who lived and who died, and what we thought on the ending.

11-14-2012 #9 - Bad Case of the Cod-Blops

This was a big week for games. Not because of Call of Duty Black Ops 2, but because of all the Wii U games that released early.  Special guest Jack Bushell joins us to give his opinion on Halo 4, and to contribute to the idiotic discussion surrounding the Charles Barkley Shup Up And Jam sequel kickstarter.  Hey, someone has to talk about it. Along with the sudden outbreak of the Cod-Blops.  I think I might have a cream for that..

11-7-2012 #8 - Don't Pet the Cats

On this edition of the podcast, the crew is joined by a special guest Alan Nolan who discusses Assassin's Creed III and Halo 4.  We also discuss Pid, Sleeping Dogs: Nightmare in North Point, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Planetside 2, Curiosity, and the Xbox Smart Glass app.  It was a long podcast, but we prevailed! Just don't pet the cats, they suck.

10-31-2012 #7 - If That's Old School, I'm A Fossil

A slow week for the crew, but we have a special guest!  Stephen "Stevie Nicks" McNicholas joins us to give us his insight on N64 games, Halo 4, and Runescape.  Yep.  Runescape.  We also talk about Assassin's Creed III, Hotline Miami, Code of Princess, and Zone Of The Enders HD Collection.

10-24-2012 #6 - Just Turn Off The Assists

With Gary's absence we're joined with special guest Mike and we discuss games like Dishonored, Sleeping Dogs, XCOM, the Mechromancer class for Borderlands 2, and some depressing news like the many layoffs in the industry.  On a lighter note, we also talk about a game about cats! Kinda.

10-17-2012 #5 - So I Heard A Great Joke

Way too many games to catch up on, and they just multiply everyday with Borderlands 2 DLC, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Dishonored, and the Minecraft XBLA Adventure Update, all on top of the emotional burden of The Walking Dead: Episode 4.  We live a tough life, right? Yes. That was sarcasm.

10-10-2012 #4 - It's Pronounced "Sobbing"

Mental breakdowns ensue when we play this week's new releases.  Dishonored, Mechromancer DLC, and The Walking Dead: Episode 4, all released this week and wreak havoc on our mental health.

10-4-2012 #3 - Games Gone Wild

We rant and rave about the crazy games releasing this week and next week, along with Cliff  Bleszinski's departure from Epic. Not to mention more Borderlands 2.  This week was crazy!
