South Park: The Stick of Truth

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.

Rob may have been stag party levels of hungover when we recorded this (his may still be a bit hungover as this is written) but there are gaming discussions that must burst forth like liquidated stomach lining! Discussions of food challenges, press-ups, not having Windows 10, Keiji Inafune and maybe a videogame or two lie within.

And no, we didn't talk about Pixels. Go wallow in your own misery.

In a move that screams "5 years ago" the happysalad team provide a SaladCast of a length more in keeping with our former restrictions. We don't even get a cameo from Dan’s alarm to ignore.

In this episode we play some new stuff and keep playing the stuff we were playing and of course mourn the loss of gaming’s most charming man.

BANANAS!

The "Fallout" from E3 doesn't leave us too much to “Unravel” and there isn’t much “Uncharted” news to cover. So while there are plenty of new games are on the “Horizon”, there are even more for us to “Maker” our way through right now. So let’s “Siege” the day, party all “Knight” and deliver “SOMA” Saladcast. It’s just how we “DOOM”.

It's time for the fifth SaladCast GOTY award show! Difficult year this one as the team have mostly played different games from one another which inevitably make comparisons hard but we give it a shot anyway because why not!
