This is it, this is our last live-talkin’ show of the year and to help celebrate the occasion I trapped two of my best friends in my basement and made them talk about games and stuff. Good times.

Big thanks to Rich and Mike for joining me and seeming to have a good time, we’ll do it again soon!

This week we get all chatty about:

• Who Are You?
• Rich & Mike’s Favorite Games of 2008

No, not the Bitcast, that’s our awesome (and future award-winning) podcast, but BigDownload.com’s podcast hosted by our old friend Xav de Matos. I drop in to talk Fallout 3 but as usual I manage to meander into all kinds of pointless territory. Listen in to join the fun!

I’m in the second segment which is about an hour in.

Also, Xav missed a big chance to get back at us constantly bleeping out his site name when we mention it on the Bitcast… he let’s me plug away uninterrupted

This week we were excited to invite a couple of loyal readers, friends and guild mates on to the show: Scott “Xerxes3rd” Rising and Tim “Swiftwulf” Conway! With the launch of the recent World Of Warcraft expansion we thought now would be a good time (ahem, tim) to bring them on and have a chat about our favorite MMO. Big thanks go out to them for taking the time to be on the show!

This week we geek out on:

• WoW
• World Of Warcraft
• A very popular MMO

A Couple Of Notes:

• We had some last minute technical difficulties and we had to record the show in a way that yielded a lower quality than we usually provide to everyone. Our apologies on that front.
• Check out the post that brought Scott to our site.
• Though we never actually mention it you can find our guild on the Lothar server and here on the web.

We’re neck-deep in all the big AAA fall releases and decided to dedicate our entire show to the different ones that we’ve been spending time with. Luckily it works out that the three of us in the show this week have each spent a significant amount of time with different titles so there’s lots to talk about.

This week we ramble on about:

• What’cha been playing:
• Start - 27:45 - Little Big Planet
• 27:45 - 44:58 - Fable II
• 44:58 - 1:01:16 - Fallout 3

Today’s show comes to you from the topsy turvy world of Rand McNally, where they wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people. What’s so strange about this week you might ask? Well for one, our show is co-hosted by our own Jim Squires and Mike “The Birdman” Dodd, of This Week in Geek fame. For another, the audio isn’t up to it’s normal stellar quality. Mike sounds awesome and Jim sound like he’s being recorded through Skype. Oddly enough, he was. Go figure.

Don’t forget to visit our special guest at his regular online homes; This Week in Geek, The Game Heroes, DailyGame.

A proud moment for the site this week, we’ve officially been accused of hating on the 360. So it’s a complete trifecta, we’ve now been told we’re being fanboyish against all 3 consoles. So how do we try to alleviate the 360 hating rumors? We get Ryan “I don’t pay for Xbox Live” Hewson and Dan “Fuck Avatars” Zuccarelli together to talk about the Resistance 2 beta, LittleBigPlanet’s delay and even manage to work some NXE hating into the mix…. even carrying over a Skype dropout at the end. Ahh, hate….. you keep our insides warm.

• What’cha Been Playing
• WoW Patch 3.0.2 Talk With Two Feral Druids
• LittleBigPlanet Delay
