New consoles may be upon us but we have a lot to be thankful for from the last 8 or so years of gaming. This special episode has us look back on our favourite stuff from the last cycle.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Pushing the boundaries of what fans have come to expect from the record-setting entertainment franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops II propels players into a near future, 21st Century Cold War, where technology and weapons have converged to create a new generation of warfare between old and new foes. In this conflict, the mechanized creations of men reign supreme, facing off against each other as their creators stay safe and unconflicted, and in the process grow ever softer. In this scenario an important question will be asked: What happens when an enemy steals the keys to your war? To understand such a possible future, you must understand where you have been.


With the PS4 out in America and the XBOX One release looming there's a bit of an expectation to talk about them just a little. Not being the types to disappoint, there’s a lot of discussion related to the new black distraction oblongs.
We are also joined by DJKippling off of twitch and being Rob’s brother.
This episode we talk about PS4, XBone, Knack, Killzone: Shadowfall, Resogun, Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Battlefield, CoDBlOps II, The Swapper, MtGDotP 2013, Civ 5, GTA V, Pokémon XY and probably some other stuff.

2012 is drawing to a close and that means it's GOTY time! This might be the one time in the year we carefully consider which games deserve honour and which deserve being locked in a room with a small radio playing Paul McCartney’s Christmas song on repeat forever.
Awards include "Best game that hasn’t really come out yet", “Worst audio thing”, “Biggest surprise” and “Most baffling decision” amongst others and of course the coveted SaladCast GOTY.

Winter and the holiday season makes it tricky to get the team team together but the 3 week gaps do give us a lot to talk about.
This week there's plumbing, cars, shoes, Halo 4, Call of Duty, Planetside 2, Burnout Crash, Civilisation V and more!
In this podcast:

After a slight break in our regular schedule due to both Zac and Dan being incapacitated last week we are back! And Halo 4 arrived!
Zac plays a number of little games this week including Towns, FTL, and Cargo Commander whilst recounting the occurrences during the Guild Wars 2 "Lost Shores" event. Rob takes on two of this year's biggest “triple A’s” with Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and a bit of Halo 4.
