The Recurring Bosscast: 005 – Bill Clinton in My Bedroom With Handcuffs

JettLeave a comment

Happy holidays from the Bosscast! We use our last episode of the year to reflect on the best, most underrated, and worst games we played in 2012. Jett also enlightens Mat and Jason on Boong-Ga Boong-Ga – an arcade game all about poking people in the bum. Though we didn’t get to go behind the Pacific Mall curtains to play this butt-poking simulator, we do talk about our experiences playing Street Fighter X Megaman, The Walking Dead, Pop’n Music and more!

2012 Year in Review: Worst Game of the Year

JettLeave a comment

As a mostly independent games writer, I don’t play much in the way of bad games. I generally play what I want and leave it at that. Because of this, I usually do not award games with the title of worst game of the year.

With that said, I did play at least one terrible game. One that was critically panned. One that hurt my soul as I played through it to completion. I normally don’t do this, but this title is definitely deserving of In Third Person’s worst.

Though I generally expect less as time goes by, I still got a number of wonderful gaming related gifts from my loved ones. Thank you Santa for everything! Below is a list of stuff I got under the tree. What did you give/receive? Feel free to share in the comments!
