Episode 94 - 2012 Better Not Suck

Yeah, the video seems to be fixed! Boo, the audio had an issue (but was salvaged). Looks like 2012 isn't going to be that much different than 2011. Xbox Live is getting hacked (sort of), Warner Bros. is fighting with Netflix and Sony may not make a PS4. On the upside we discuss our most anticipated movies and games of 2012. The Hobbit, The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers... 2012 looks like it's going to rock! (Hopefully)
