Dec 30, 2011 at 6:34 PM by Wes Gardner 
Join Brian Belida, Wes Gardner, Mark Bradshaw, Imran Khan, and David Marchment as the Bearder crew discuss their favorite experiences, their most disappointing games, their most memorable stories, and their overall opinions from a year that brought us everything from Duke Nukem Forever, to Dragon Age 2. This 3-hour podcast acts as an end to a fantastic year for Nitrobeard, and we're proud to bring you to the table, and get the behind-the-scenes look at our biggest deliberation of the year.
43 games made the list. Only one can reign supreme.

Thank you for a wonderful year, Bearders, and we hope you stick with us through 2012, because if 2011 was any indication, you can expect more antics, more stories, more laughs, and more debates about an industry that not only splits us apart, but brings us together, as well.
2011 Is Dead! Long Live 2012! WE'RE LIVE!

3 hour Beardcast?! This is insane! This is madness!
This is .... perfect for a 3 hour session of Gran Turismo 5. :D
EDIT: Piercing? :shakes fist: KAHN!
@Matt: It was a blast, as we haven't done a full-blown extended podcast in quite some time!
Also, Imran is a sorcerer of puns
For those that are interested, here's a list of songs that were featured in this year's Game of the Year podcast!
Intro: Chemical Brothers - My Elastic Eye
First Break: Diablo 2 OST - Outtake 2 (Tristram Theme Reprise)
Second Break: Final Fantasy Dissidia 012 OST: Overture
Finale: Bear McCreary - An Easterly View (From the Battlestar Galactica S4 OST)
Also, whoever can guess where I got the very-opening clip wins an internet cookie
I don't know what it's called but I'm relatively certain that clip's from Black & White.
Yakuza 4! Fuck yeah! ^_^ b But doh...KoF 13 wasn't even mentioned as part of the fighting game group. Even when it came out a few months ago =(. I guess nobody really played it or is a fan.
