In this episode, The Prof (@profplaysgames) and The Dev (@summerspeak) check in on their 2016 gaming predictions, make new predictions for 2017, and discuss their most anticipated games for 2017.

[The Prof's mic issues are finally fixed!]

In this episode, The Prof (@profplaysgames) and The Dev (@summerspeak) discuss gaming disappointments from 2016 (1:00), runners-up for out GOTY list (16:00) and our top five games of the year (32:50).

In this episode, The Prof (@profplaysgames) and The Dev (@summerspeak) discuss the games we've played in 2016, Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary Rumors, PS4 hitting 50 million units sold, Super Mario Run, Nintendo Switch, Watch_Dogs 2, and Final Fantasy XV. Next week, we'll reveal our top five GOTY selections.

I have two gaming related resolutions for the new year: (1) spend no more than $300 on new games and (b) beat 12 games from my backlog, inspired by an idea from a bunch of gamers on Reddit. I had a very hard time paring down my backlog into 12 "must play" games for 2016, but I have a list I'm happy with. You note that a few of the "games" are actually a series of games. I'm a cheater. Clearly.

I'll strike games off (and date them) as I beat them.
