Evolve

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! It's time for the end of year special show: GOTY 2015! We must scrutinize the heck out of 2015 for the good of mankind, for it is written: "Those who podcast, must arbitrarily award." There’s a lot of difficult decisions and few easy answers in one of the busiest gaming years in memory an you can find out exactly how the team arrive at their conclusions (a blog with the results will go up later).

Fair warning: we may talk about story spoilers and mention the Weak Ass Californian Gap.

So despite it being an episode with a number that coincides with one of Rob's favourite game series, we fail to bring up the connection with John-117, better known as Master Chief. So now the connection has been made Rob can continue his internal monologue that constantly hypes the Halo Master Chief Collection.

In this bumper episode we talk a lot of crap but also mention Gamescom, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Super Time Force, Super Time Force Ultra, Forza Horizon 2, Minimum, Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, Guardians of the Galaxy, FTL, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Beyond: Two Souls, The Witcher 2, Crimson Dragon, Tiny & Big in Grandpa’s Leftovers, Evolve and other nonsense.

Are you ready for Part 2 of our E3 blowout?
