As another year draws to a close we have invited our old friend Ross Polly back to the show to help us recap the biggest gaming news of 2018.  Classic mini consoles rise and fall, games as a service also means games with advertisements, a major console producer hoovers up smaller studios, and so much more this year it's a wonder that we can fit it all into a little over an hour, but we do.  Join us to help wrap things up.   Download this week's episode directly from PTB, listen with the player below, find us on Stitcher, subscribe via iTunes and Google Play, toss this RSS feed into your podcast aggregation software of choice, and be sure to catch up on past episodes if you're joining us late.
