What's better than have the Issues Program dudes show up to talk about the first half-year in gaming? How about having pro gamer, reviewer and model Raychul Moore joining the roundtable?

In a special episode the Bastards welcome Issues Guy, JC Sergeant and Raychul Moore to the program, as they dissect the current goings-on in the gaming world. Find out which games have already made it to their best-of 2011 list, and which upcoming titles they're looking forward to most. Plus the gang chimes in on the true nature and style of Duke Nukem Forever, and figure out if L.A. Noire is a title that deserves to be on the pedestal that other gaming sites seem to put them on.

It's all right here on this super-sized episode of the Boston Bastard Brigade. It's Episode 105: The Elite Gamers Of The Benevolent Press!

The B3 members try their best to record after a day of celebrating and drinking. This will explain their raspy vocals during the episode.

This week the Bastards put their two cents on the demos for Medal of Honor, DeathSpank, Limbo and Death Track: Resurrection, as well as the full game of Skate 3. Plus Anvil gives his take on the week in sports, and the Bastards review the movies Universal Soldier: Regeneration and Undisputed 3: Redemption.
