Happy Holidays

No episode of the Game Nutz Podcast this week. We hope that you had a very happy holiday season, and that Which Sucks Less worked well as a console buying guide. Have a happy and safe New Year's, and we'll see you in 2010!

Episode 23

In the first episode in a couple months without the Which Sucks Less feature, Boter and FearTheClaw (again with StickyNugget absent, I wonder what happened to him) carry the show without any embarrassing retreads of some of their earlier attempts (though they're in Canastota again; yay, acoustics). They start off with a conversation about downloadable content timing, move on to PBS televising the Video Games Live concert this year and video game music in general, and some new Nintendo trademarks. Boter, meanwhile, talks about downloadable content for A Kingdom For Keflings on Xbox Live Arcade, beta testing the same game on the PC, and then introduces the Dark Void Grab Bag of Swag.

To win the Grab Bag of Swag, do as the man says. Tell your friends to listen to the podcast and have them e-mail gamenutzpodcast@gmail.com with your name. We will then send them a question pertaining to this week's podcast. Once they answer (confirming that they did actually listen), you'll be credited for them. The person who gets us the most listeners (whether they ultimately become a subscriber or not) wins the Grab Bag of Swag.

Episode 22

With the first episode from the new store (not an every-week occurrence, acoustics are bad, sorry) in Canastota, Boter and FearTheClaw tackle Which Sucks Less: PS3 Slim or Wii, and also go into a bit of news from the past two weeks. Some highlights include a rumor about a PSPgo UMD drive, a quick rundown of the best selling games in November, and a verdict on DS flash cards. They also manage to fit in some discussion about the tendency for current generation games to get patched after release.

Episode 21

Without Sticky, it's up to FearTheClaw and Boter to decide Which Sucks Less - the DS Lite or the PSP-3000. (A shame neither of them seem to speak English natively this week.) They reach a conclusion, bolstered by a message from Sticky, and continue on to such important topics as what market the PSP Go is moving into and Black Friday. This then go on to a large number of news topics, including Eric Estovillo suing more video game companies (in this case, Activision-Blizzard about World of Warcraft) and Nintendo's research tendencies.
