Dan and Chris sit down for a smaller show tonight.
First some News and KS chat then we discuss what the role of a reviewer should be in your buying and view of games.
We talk about a recent review of Back to The Future the card game.
Finally we hit the way back machine and do a top 11 for 2011, the first year that we did top lists of games on the show.
See how things have changed for us!
Thanks for Listening!
WARNING– I just got a new headset so I am getting used to how the sound is, and I got a little bit excited to be finally be back podcasting tonight hehe.
