It’s only Justin and John this week. We bid farewell to our trusty geezer, Jeff Kafer. Who not only was a great co-host, but also an audio engineer. His prowess on the boards made it easy for Justin and I to not think about what a lot of hard work it is to edit the show–which is why it has taken us so long to get this one up. I have completely edited this podcast twice, thanks to Audacity deciding to eat the first one. So bear with us!
- A fond farewell to Jeff Kafer
- The games we’re currently playing: Mirror’s Edge, Burnout Paradise, Tales of Vesperia, Halo Wars, Final Fantasy IV DS
- Interview with Greg Murphy, Design Director @ Microsoft Game Studios
- Tips & Tricks interview with Kevin Bowen & John Mogensen of the Halo Wars Test Team.
- We forgot to record a proper outro! But there is music!

We talk about our favorite games of 2008, and there is very little overlap between our lists. Then we interview Chris Lee, a Microsoft Producer currently working on Halo. Finally we talk about the forthcoming Resident Evil 5 demo.
- Our favorite games of the year
- Interview with Chris Lee, Microsoft Producer on Halo
- Resident Evil 5
And yes, we realize that we’re wrong about when Lost Odyssey came out, but it’s just so much fun to tell Robey he’s wrong.
UPDATE: Forgot to mention that Kafer worked his audio magic on this podcast, and did it in Stereo. Let us know if you like it better in the comments.
