It's a Christmas miracle, of sorts, as the JTS crew brings you their end of year awards. Unfortunately, Bill's network connection gets swallowed up by Krampus and ends up leaving the show early, but even with his absence, 2012 is ushered out in style. No show next week, but we'll see you in the new year.

Bill is out sick, or some such nonsense, but Todd and Brandon are ready, willing and able to talk all about Baldur's Gate: EE for the iPad, the tonal dissonance of Sleeping Dogs, Brandon's Skylanders iOS addiction and Todd's fun with Pathfinder.

Come for the show, stay for the jokes in the outtakes. Or, just fast forward to the jokes. Whatever works.

We're having some microphone problems, particularly on the side of The Straw, but don't worry, we still get to hear about what's been going into the production of Tomorrow, why Todd put away Baldur's Gate:EE for a little bit, Brandon's spoiler-free take on the end of The Walking Dead and his less than enthusiastic trip to Torgue's Badass Crater of Badassitude.

Oh, we also talk about last week's episode of Walking Dead, so yeah, spoilers.

Everyone is back from Thanksgiving, rejuvinated and ready to talk about games. First, Bill talks about BGG Con as well as his time with Card Hunter, the Spartacus board game and Legendary, the Marvel deck building game. Then, Todd gets down and dirty with Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition before Brandon gives his final verdict on Dishonored, talks a bunch about Halo 4 and talks about why he shouldn't be allowed near Skylanders ever again.

Bill is in Dallas for the BGG Con, but who needs him when The Todd and Brandon Hour of Power is in full effect? First, Todd explains why he's underwhelmed by Dishonored while Brandon talks about how a stealth only run simply ain't happening. Then, Todd dabbles a little in Fallen Enchantress before Brandon holds court on the narrative genius that is Halo 4. That's a joke, by the way. That game is hella silly.

Toys, games, snark, this week's episode of Jumping the Shark has it all. First, Bill talks up Fallen Enchantress, as well as the pitfalls of being Basketball Commissioner. Then, the gang talks about the buzz over the Wii U, or, more importantly, the lack thereof among the JTS crew. Finally, Brandon gets down on the plastic crack that is Skylanders Giants.

Bill, Todd and Brandon celebrate having the gang back together by talking about XCOM, Dishonored, Walking Dead Ep 4, Harvey's New Eyes and a smidge of Borderlands 2. Along the way, Bill drops some knowledge about the new game from Conquistador. Get that big, red button ready!

Bill is off in vacation land, so it's up to Brandon and Todd to hold down the fort. First, Todd gets deeper into XCOM and why Brandon is still alive, kicking, and ranked up to Major in his initial game. That's Major Binky, to you. Then, Brandon goes into the joy that is the Captain Scarlett's Pirate Booty DLC for Borderlands 2 as well as the fun of True Vault Hunter mode.
