With the Christmas holidays just days away, the Gamers In Beta podcast received their own Holiday gift as Khell18 (Jaime) made a year ending appearance. With certain members experiencing PC issues and others just being plain old cranky, this episode is a bit cantankerous. The panel discusses what games they've been playing, hints at GOTY predictions, as well as how Kailon791's Amiibo hunting is going. As usual, the team goes over the upcoming releases and news from the past week.
Reminder take the GOTY survey and let your voice be heard:
