Monsters, amnesia and a talking sword. All the standard boxes are thoroughly ticked here but Dust manages to stand out in our memories. Zac and Rob try to find the perfect word to describe it.
Dust: An Elysian Tail
In the fantasy world of Falana, a mysterious swordsman named Dust, armed with a living sword called Ahrah and a quirky companion named Fidget, seeks to free a village from oppression while uncovering the truth behind his past.
Being as it is the end the December there's not a lot happening in the games industry. Let's take the time to reflect on the year of games as experienced by the happysalad crew whilst our stomachs reflect on the multitude of errors made in recent days.

It's a biggie! The milestone of 100 episodes has been reached and by total luck it’s also time to sort out the weak from the guff as we do The SaladCast GOTY Awards 2013! Get hype!
It should come as no shock that there will be spoilers and dumb decisions ahead. You have been warned.
In this podcast:
I know we keep talking about the heat of summer and how we suck at dealing with it in these blurbs but just imagine as you listen to this episode of the SaladCast the literal sweat that went into making it. You're welcome.
This week we talk about Dust, Rogue Legacy, Magic The Gathering 2013, Surgeon Simulator 2013, Proteus, Dear Esther, Fire Emblem, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, giraffe combat, Don Matrick and of course Ryan Davis.
It would be rude not to dedicate this episode (and probably every episode we’ve ever done) to the essence of awesome that is Ryan Davis. He will be sorely missed.

It's hot, hotter than it’s been this year so far. Dan has a cold. I don’t understand.

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.
