Destroy All Children

Following the Golden Gizmos, it's time for the darker side of video games... The sinister counterpart... The Golden Gremmies! We, once again, ruminate on what an absolute clusterfuck the industry has become, while trying to maintain some optimism for the future. Whether that happens or not, dear listener, is something you will have to discover for yourself!

It is time, once again, to review what we considered the best games of the preceding year. Just, uh... Ignore that tumbleweed moseying on by.

In the second, and final, episode of Big Money Podcastas, Larry and George review 2010's Big Money Rustlas, directed by Paul Andresen. Despite being, in their estimation, a massive improvement upon the first film, it's actually rated lower on IMDB. I'm not sure why... ICP fans are known for their discerning taste, after all. Now let me take a swig of this ice-cold Faygo...

In preparation for recording this year's Golden Gizmos, and as a result of severe mental illness, George and Larry decide to review the entire filmography of the Insane Clown Posse. First up: 2000's Big Money Hustlas, directed by John Cafiero.

After recording the regularly-scheduled Gremmies, everything somehow got even worse. So, here we are, ruminating on the impending demise of the AAA game industry, and running down Embracer Group's many and varied subsidiaries while trying to determine if they will survive or not. What, you think that's grim? Well, tough shit, that's reality, baby, and we're all living in it! We eat the pig and together we burn!
