Forgive the late start to the show this week but a little pre-show analysis of Final Fantasy XII had to make the cut. Mike Pittman joins the crew in Davids absence to discuss the Starhawk beta and his excitement for Journey. Nick reveals all about Resident Evil Revelations and Brad continues to shower Twisted Metal with sweet nectar. On a rather odd note, the guys can't put their finger on it but something is missing from the recently released, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Could it be it's soul?

It's been more than six months since the last show. 2011 was a tough year for all us at 4pp. We struggled to find time during moving, life adjustments, and work. But now that we've had time to settle in, were looking to get back into the swing of things. So we're back with the Dinner Time Show. For the new episode this year, Brad and I sit down to talk about the PS Vita. We discuss sales in Japan, 3G, Smartphones, and Backward Compatibility. I apologize beforehand about my noisy eating habits. I will work on it for future shows. Recorded January 31st, 2012.

This week, we delve into unfamiliar territory by kicking things off with a semi-erotic game about crippled girls. I'm serious... Surprisingly, there is more to it than one might expect. David shares his Binding of Isaac misadventures and then opens up a whole new can of worms with his discussion of Skylanders. There is even some Twisted Metal discussion thrown in for good measure and Nick turns over a new leaf by telling Jokes...

This week, 4PP jumps the shark (Well I hope not...)! Jack joins the group this week as we try our best to calmly discuss the recently announced Resident Evil 6. Capcom seems determined to split the loyal Resident Evil fan-base even further by fueling the identity crisis that started with Resident Evil 4. It's a tough conversation to have so feel free to leave your two cents in the comments. We talk some Dark Souls, Skyrim, and some Kingdoms of Amalur as well in the impressions segment. Be sure to subscribe to the show on iTunes if you haven't already because starting in February, the flood gates open and there will be a lot of new titles to play and discuss!

Jack starts the show off strong with a guest rant about the developers of Amy. We discuss some pretty high-profile demos that hit Xbox Live this week including Azura's Wrath, the Darkness 2, and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. One of those titles sends us spiraling into a heated conversation about some of the more questionable marketing ploys of today's biggest publishers. Max Payne 3 and Batman both make into the news this week and we share some of the more entertaining results of our recent community survey.

2012 is Finally upon us and aside from preparing for the armageddon, there is a whole lot of gaming to squeeze in. In the first hour of this epic 3-hour podcast, we take some time to talk about the Witcher 2, Crysis, and David's distaste for green olives. Of course, the focal point of this week's show is the extensive list of 2012 releases that we run through for the bulky back-end of the show. Gathered by ourselves and then fleshed out with the help of the community, we run down a comprehensive list of games that will inevitably be holding our interest and fueling our discussions for the next year.

In our final podcast of 2011, our friend and frequent broadcaster, Mike, makes his podcasting debut to discuss the intricacies of Dark Souls and Shadow of the Colossus. Impressions run a bit longer than usual to include Saint's Row 3, Trine 2, and a few games from this year's Humble Indie Bundle but there isn't much news to discuss anyways. It has been a great year for us and we are super excited about 2012 and what it has in store for us. See you on the other side!

The year is winding down and we still have a lot to play and discuss before our end of the year shows. This week, Brad finished Dark Souls and has a bone to pick with some of the more eccentric fans of the game and Nick discusses the recent Deus Ex DLC. Skyward Sword continues to disappoint so we talk about Twilight Princess instead. Who would have thought that 251 episodes later, we would be talking about Twilight Princess again? O yeah... Nick wants to buy a Vita but the decision doesn't seem to be that easy in light of the launch sales numbers from Japan.

What a week! In the first segment, Jack serenades us with tales of Trine 2 and Brad quits Skyward Sword (maybe?). We rattle off some great discussion surrounding some of the underdogs of 2011 such as Binding of Isaac and Stacking. Of course, this would not be a true video game podcast if we did not take the time to discuss some of the major trailers from this year's shitty Spike VGAs. We cover The Last of Us, Alan Wake American Nightmare, and of course, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance! This is one episode you won't want to miss!

Nick starts the show off strong this week by saying the wrong show number! In episode 249, the guys discuss their complex feelings about the recently released Zelda game, Skyward Sword. David shares his feelings on Need for Speed the Run and Nick chimes in with his yearly Bond game report. With some touching stories about Brad's gamer niece and another shameful chatter-4-the-week thrown in for good measure, it is a pretty long show this week.

Our reduced line-up this week manages to stay relatively focused on gaming discussions with only a few minor distractions. Brad and Nick discuss their opinions of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and how it compares to previous Zelda titles while Jack fills everyone in on the recently released Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, particularly Peace Walker. The back half of the show is filled with plenty of community interaction and despite our best efforts, Hitman becomes a major topic of discussion.

With only a week left before the release of 4 lengthy titles, we scramble to stay abreast of the busy holiday season. Of course, there is still plenty to discuss with the recent launch of Uncharted 3, Lord of the Rings: War in the North, and Battlefield 3 still manages to remain relevant despite the recent release of Modern Warfare 3.
