Join Gentlemen Discussing Vidya for a special conspiracy-flavoured episode, as we uncover the truth that’s literally right there, and has conveniently been uncovered by a series of cryptic-but-solvable clues. Catsman, Happyman, Juju, Ramal, Mahboyy, Reinbach, Seanie and Yay feature in this action-packed conspiracy spectacular.

Because of Happyman’s poor moderating skills the podcast’s one-year anniversary, it’s an extra-long episode featuring discussion of THQ’s auctions, creepy nerds, greedy businessmen and rad cars. Also, a saucy read starring the President of the United States. With Catsman, Doddski, Happyman, Juju, K, Reinbach, Tacoman and Wes.

This week, on Gentlemen Discussing Vidya – Devil May Cry, QUAD-A GAMING, gay planets, dismembered zombie torsos, the Steambox, Pogeymon, and some truly abominable kickstarters. With Catsman, Funk, Happyman, Juju, Ramalori, Seanie and Charismatic Tzar.

Interesting stuff:

With New Year’s Eve right around the corner, the gentlemen come together to discuss the Mortal Kombat movie, Bobby Kotick’s dating life, as well as 2012 in games and what we can expect out of 2013.

Happyman, Catsman, Boigahs, Hoffy, Juju, Ramal, Mooglepies and Reinbach go over the torrential flood of embarrassment that was the 2012 Spike VGAs, as well bad Facebook promos, Notch’s money grubbing ways, Kojima’s merit as a writer, and two hilarious new Kickstarters. Also, another gay Smash Brothers fanfic – but from an entirely new perspective.

This episode was edited, mastered and produced by Happyman. Who did a great jorb.
