PC Gamer US Podcast #304: Justified
The Game of the Year awards 2011 have come and gone, and we thought we’d take an hour (or two) to break down our decision-making process. For those of you questioning reality and the fabric of life itself after seeing our choices, we’re here to help. Chris Antista has channeled the demon spirits of the Internet Zeitgeist, joined by Evan, Josh, Lucas, and Gavin, as they explain the thought process behind each and every selection. No punches are pulled in this marathon of elucidation—whether you gave our selections a thumbs up or the bird, this is definitely worth a listen.

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 #298: Simply The Best
We ask the big questions, point-blank: was 2011 PC gaming’s best year ever?

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.

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).

PC Gamer US Podcast #296: Happy Gamesgiving
Happy Gamesgiving, everyone!

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?
