Congratulations to the winners of CATFANTASTIC! [US only]

Thanks to everyone who played, listened, and just plain tolerated ELECTROCATFANTASTIC. In honor of PC Gamer’s 300th US Podcast, we not only tortured one another with an electric stun wand as part of America’s cruelest game show—we also invited loyal listeners to play along for a chance to win some FABULOUS prizes!
PC Gamer UK Podcast 63 – Dota 2, Batman: Arkham City, new year predictions
It’s a new year, which means a brand new, super shiny, revamped PC Gamer UK podcast! True, there are many similarities to the old PC Gamer UK podcast, but the studio was decidedly cooler than usual on account of it being winter now. Tim, Tom, Graham and Rich gather to discuss our gaming new year resolutions, with words on Dota 2, our most unusual picks for this year’s top 100 and our gaming predictions for 2012.

PC Gamer US Podcast #300: ELECTROCATFANTASTIC

What is Catfantastic? CATFANTASTIC IS MEOW! Run with Evan, Josh, Tyler, two Chrises and hostmaster Logan Decker as they navigate a gauntlet of incredibly cruel trivia, electroshock therapy, and a blackhole of math and fairness for the epic 300th episode of the PC Gamer US Podcast!
PC Gamer Podcast #299.5: Interview with Bioware’s Lead Writer Daniel Erickson
Christmas is canceled: there will be no podcast this week as we’re busy decking the halls of our magazine to get the latest issue to Santa’s printers in time. Daniel Erickson, Lead Writer for Star Wars: the Old Republic, swung by the office to cheer us on and chat about TOR on its launch day. We chat about his favorite light and dark side moments, which classes are just plain evil, and why faction changes just don’t make sense in the Star Wars universe.
We hope you’ll have a fantastic holiday season full of wonder-frags and epic loots. Look for podcast #300 in the new year. It’ll be the cat’s meow.
PC Gamer US Podcast #299: A Galaxy Torn
Tyler, Chris A., Lucas, and Greg discuss the first days of The Old Republic, the last days of Star Wars: Galaxies, and wrap-up 2011 with fond gaming memories and a desperate need for USB coffee warmers and other junk people wrap in paper this time of year.
PC Gamer US Podcast #298: Simply The Best
We ask the big questions, point-blank: was 2011 PC gaming’s best year ever? To find out, Evan leads Tyler, Antista, Greg, and Lucas on a journey of self-discovery, as they look at the best gaming years past, what we’re loving now, and what we have to look forward to in the near future. It’s a magical journey of nostalgic tear-shedding, forward-thinking futurism, and intern mockery. Peer into our crystal monitors as we divine which year of PC games we look back on most fondly.
PC Gamer UK Podcast 62 – World of Warcraft, Skyrim, Battlefield 3
Nothing is safe in a post-Mists of Pandaria announcement world. This month Tim, Tom, Rich and Graham get together to discuss the revelations at Blizzcon. It’s not long before the conversation turns to Skyrim. Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3 and Steam sales also get turned over in episode 62 of the PC Gamer UK podcast.

PC Gamer US Podcast #297: Friendly Fire
The new Counter-Strike beta is a GO, and Evan has been on the frontlines to bring us his thoughts on the rebooted counter-terrorist warfare. Josh fills us in on the biggest updates to hit WoW, EVE, and DCUO this week, while Greg and Chris barely make it out of their encounter with Serious Sam: BFE with their miniguns intact (and live to tell about it). And, try as we might, we just can’t help ourselves but talk about Skyrim. Then again, who could blame us?
PC Gamer US Podcast #296: Happy Gamesgiving
Happy Gamesgiving, everyone! We celebrate the Turkeyist time of the year with another hearty podcast loaded with the usual news discussion and a heaping side of what we’re thankful for this year in games. Josh fills us in on everything TOR-related now that the embargo has been lifted off his weary shoulders. Greg plays an instant classic out of the Vietnamese shooter 7554, and we all can’t help ourselves from talking about the Muppets.
PC Gamer US Podcast #295: Fond Farewells
Parting is such sweet sorrow, but it doesn’t have to be all bad. We bid Dan Stapleton a fond farewell on this week’s podcast, with Evan, Josh, Chris and Lucas giving him the best podcasting sendoff they can muster. You’ll find out the answers to some of life’s most profound questions: what’s the best game of the last 8 years? Is there anything bad about Skyrim? What’s the deal with quicktime events? And, most importantly, what’s the difference between a zombie and a mummy?
PC Gamer US Podcast #294: Giants are strong
It’s the biggest PC gaming week of the year, and we’ve got a big podcast to go along with it. Join Dan, Greg, Chris, Tyler, and Evan as we bring you our impressions from the unspoiled frontier of Skyrim, and loads of anecdotes from our travels (as spolier-free as we can make it). We also touch on the monster that is Modern Warfare 3 and the overshadowed LA Noire.
PC Gamer US Podcast #293: Tribesunal
For the first time in awhile, we’re all playing the same game at PC Gamer—Tribes: Ascend. And we’re more than glad to share our hours of experience in the game’s just-launched beta. It can’t last long, though: Call of Duty, L.A. Noire, Batman: Arkham City, Skyrim, all loom in November, each powerfully incompatible with a healthy personal life. Between those upcoming releases, we also chat about the bungled launch of Sword of the Stars II, Blacklight 2, the GTA V trailer, and Mechwarrior Online.
PC Gamer US Podcast #292: Prattlefield 3
The man. The myth. The legend. Chris Antista enters the wild world of the PC Gamer podcast, far from home and without a clue where he is (or, he’s recording a podcast in the very same room where he did Talk Radar). Alongside Dan, Lucas, Gavin, and Greg, they’ll traverse the misty plains of Battlefield 3 impressions, encountering singleplayer goofiness and multiplayer war stories. Then they’ll trudge through the deserts of BlizzCon impressions, the sea of Truthiness and Falsity, and the Swamps of Torment, where Xbox games appear in the Playlist. It is, without a doubt, an epic venture.
PC Gamer US Podcast #291: A TORrent of Star Wars news
The embargo has (partially) lifted, and its time to open the floodgates on a ton of Star Wars: The Old Republic news. Josh and Dan share their hands-on experiences with interns Greg and Lucas, who grill them for info on lightsabers, aliens, enemies, story, and what makes this a great Star Wars game. Then we field listener questions on Battlefield and sound design, plus all the games we’re playing this week.
PC Gamer UK Podcast 61 – Planetside 2, Rage, Battlefield 3 and Project Zomboid
Tim’s had a baby! That means his ideas about what’s been happening in the last couple of weeks in the world of PC Gaming are sketchy at best. Graham, Rich and Owen step in to help bring Tim up to speed, with discussions about Planetside 2, Rage, Battlefield 3, the Project Zomboid disaster and a brief debate about whether or not horses are evil (they are).
