Episode 37: GotY – Game of the Year

- In this episode of MAHG, we break new ground. We make dirty and rude comments, talk about lesbian porn, and make jokes about penis sizes…okay, so we didn’t break new ground. Anyway, we talk about the Games of the Year, Disappointment of the Year, and things we are looking forward to in the new year. Oh, and I vow never to bring up SOPA again. Not because it can’t be talked about, but we inevitably begin talking about the eroding civil liberties that we constantly have to endure. Enjoy.
