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!

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 thirteenth podcast. (29 minutes).
Show 13 is a special, half-hour interview with Xbox LIVE’s Major Nelson. Jeff and Justin sat down with him to pick his brain about the New Xbox Experience, which we’ll all have on our 360s in less than a week.
Our twelfth podcast. (75 minutes).
Lots of talk about what we’ve been playing (here’s a hint, it’s Gears 2), and an interview with two SDETs from the Lips Test Team, Katya Mirochnik and Bex Bradley.
Stay tuned, we have our interview with Major Nelson about the New Xbox Experience going up this weekend.
Our eleventh podcast! (64 minutes).
Justin is back from Blizzcon and we give it proper attention, plus we gush about Dead Space, Fable II and Portal: Still Alive. Major Nelson was due to be on this show to talk NXE, but he was worn out from traveling in France. We’ll try to get him on the next show. Thanks to everyone for the comments and questions for Major, we’ll sit on those and ask them of him when we do the interview.

Our tenth podcast! Not a bad little milestone. (60 minutes).
We interview the Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise test team (Andrew Franklin Test Lead, Chris James SDET) about the unique challenges in testing an open world garden game. We also talk a little about Blizzcon, and a bunch about TGS. Robey will be back soon to talk in much more detail about Blizzcon, since he was down there while we were recording this. Check it out!
