Gather round the hearth brothers and sisters, for Reverend Matt and Quintin have a non-denominational holiday treat for you this week! Matt wants to drink the Death Serum after reading Alegiant, Quintin gets ROM hacked playing NES Remix, Matt gives Beautiful Creatures a lump of goal, but Rayman: Jump Fiesta finds itself on the Reverend's nice list, Quintin enjoys the smooth, one-touch stealth controls and oppressive authoritarian atmosphere of Republique, the duo somehow avoid talking about California Burritos again when they chat about Guacamelee, Matt convinces Quintin to buy Electronic Super Joy during another Apocalyptic Steam sale LIVE, and Quintin reminisces about the childhood growing up in Japan with building-sized monsters he never had in Attack of the Friday Monsters.

We hope Santa/Odin the All-Father were good to you and that The Krampus spared you with only a few lashes from his switch!

This week, for the first time, Reverend Matt and Quintin are recording from separate locations. But that doesn't stop them from forming a support group for victims of Black Friday video game sales on Steam and Amazon. They also talk some more Hunger Games: Catching Fire, ponder the implications of Ever, Jane (a Jane Austen-based MMO), Quintin recycles Tearaway, Matt Sticks it to the Man and gloats about a rousing Scotland Yard win. If this podcast doesn't make you want to send the Cult California burritos, we've failed miserably.

After a two week hiatus due to a technical glitch, the Reverend Matt and Quintin are back talking about the horrors of Rapture in Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea and the horrors of K-Mart in your actual, everyday life. Quintin played the PS4 and lived to talk about it, while Matt barely escaped from Infamous' Empire City with his (metaphorical) life. If this harrowing episode doesn't get you to subscribe on iTunes, nothing will (and you may be dead inside).
