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!

    I really enjoyed having Mike on the show this week. Like S1yfox said, he's a very good speaker and just seems like a cool guy. Hope to see him on more shows in the future!

    It's also nice to have more links and information about the shows guests in the show notes.

    Awesome show, one of the best in recent memory actually. The enthusiasm with which Nolan talks about video games is pretty refreshing. Mike is always awesome to watch and listen to, but he could of talked more. Overall It just seemed like this episode flowed super well, good job 4P.

    I finished SotC moments before listening to this podcast, made it that much more rad.

    Cheers again guys, great show, and a great first appearance by Mike.

    Nolan had a good list of games this episode... Mike is a welcome addition to the show (finally!) Best wishes in the new year and looking forward to what's ahead (starting with the GOTY show)

    Oh Mike. If you waited to buy The Witcher 2 until after you actually acquire a gaming PC, it probably would have been even less than $24.

    I dont mean to be negative - But, honestly 2011 was HUGE in gaming, UC3 - MW3 - BF3 - Skyrim etc... And all you guys ever discuss is fucking 8bit Zelda with no voice acting... We have had about 15 minutes on Skyrim, like a few seconds on UC. I might just be speaking for myself, but seriously enough fucking Zelda talk and some more on relevant games. And tactics Ogre, holy shit enough with that fucking game.

    Happy newyears/xmas.

    Loved the show this week, nice to see Mike on the podcast!
    Like Nolan I recently started playing Twilight Princess (Its my first Zelda game, only bought it because I've heard you guys talking so much about Zelda & quite frankly I'm in love with this game) so its nice to hear your opinion while you're playing it! I've only just gotten past the sand temple. Also thank you to 4player for getting me into the Zelda series, because this is just my type of game.
    Also, I kinda REALLY want to play Saints Row the Third now after you talking about it, I feel like playing something crazy but great, which is weird because I haven't really had an interest in this game so far.
    I always get excited when the conversation turns to Dark Souls, even though I haven't played that OR Demon's Souls. I'm almost ready to have a go at my new years resolution: Play Dark Souls. I want to challenge myself! I'm looking forward to it.
    Thanks for the show, & for podcasts keeping me sane in school all year!
    Looking forward to this weeks.
