Welcome! We are back from our Kirby-centric episode and have three segments for you this week.

Kicking things off, Scott, Neal, Zach, and Patrick answer some listener mail about whether or not New Super Mario Bros. U is a system seller and how willing we are to jump into an all downloadable future. After that, the boys talk about the games they've been playing this week, including ZombiU, Wario Land II, Runner 2, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and more. Oh, and Zach has a great joke at the end.

After that, Patrick and Danny go in-depth with Assassin's Creed III and the series as a whole. How does the new entry compare to the games past? Is there any reason to play this on the Wii U over other systems? Why can't Danny ask a girl for her phone number? These questions and more will be answered!

Wrapping up the show is a bonus segment that sees the return of Dino Chat with Zach and Scott. Come along as Zach teaches us about the origins of different species of dinosaurs, how dinosaurs may have hunted, and exactly how many different types of dinosaurs there are; afterward, he pours a 40oz. on the curb for each of them!

As always, you can click here to send us listener mail. Next week, we are going to take a look back at 2012 and ponder what's ahead for 2012. If you have fond memories or predictions, send them our way. Happy holidays!
