Right before the New Year, we posted our awards for the best of gaming in 2011. But there was one all important award that we needed some extra time to deliberate on… The Game of the Year. In this episode, JC and WallE forgo the usual format of the Bitcast and engage in a conversation where they, along with some input from Flickcasters Matt Raub and Cortney Zamm, decide on what game earns the coveted title of Game of the Year. And The Nominees Are: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Mortal Kombat Dead Island Back To The Future: The Game Madden 12 MLB 12: The Show Uncharted 3 Portal 2 Batman: Arkham City Minecraft Terraria To The Moon Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Super Mario 3D Land L.A.

This week, JC & WallE get into it with their thoughts on the recent trailer reveals for The Last of Us, Fortnite, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, The Amazing Spider-Man and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. JC also gives his final edition of The Long Grind focusing on The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. Don't worry though, the Long Grind will return in 2012 with new epic games to discuss. The Topic of the Week this week is a very special one. A few weeks ago, the Bitcast crew talked about realism in games. This week, JC had the honor of sitting down and talking to a member of the United States Marine Corps who was involved in the conflict at the Battle of Fallujah in late 2004, considered to be one of the harshest battles in modern warfare history. This marine shares his perspective on gaming, movies and television  and how it relates to his experiences. We thank this individual for his time, his service and for sharing his experiences with us. For their Now Playing, JC gives some insight in the recent Voltron XBLA release as well as how Christmas shopping reminded him of his time playing Dead Rising while WallE talks Madden 12. The duo even gives some not so subtle hints on what games they wouldn't mind getting for Christmas.

Week two and WallE and JC are back at it again to give you the top news in the video game world with The Flickcast's only podcast dedicated to the world of video games, the Bitcast. This week, the dynamic duo of Pokemon decimation bring talk about Rockstar Games' announcement of Grand Theft Auto 5 and speculate on what we might find out when the first trailer comes later this week. Where the game will take place and just what the sales of this massive title might be are just two of the points they discuss. In their Topic of the Week, WallE and JC talk super hero video games. The good. The bad. The ugly. And everything in between. From the original X-Men game on the NES to the most recent releases, WallE and JC have no problem letting their opinions known. And in this week's "Now Playing" session, the two talk about their most recent super hero gaming addictions caused by this week's Topic of the Week. So, what are you waiting for?

This week on The Flickcast Chris and Matt inch ever closer to the magical 100th episode of the show. It's getting closer every day but until then, they still had this episode to do and do it they did. This week's topics include lots of new trailers including Green Lantern and The Muppets, the state of 3D movies at the Box Office, the technical glitches of some movie theater chains on the East Coast, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Torchwood: Children of Earth and much more. Sadly, they also talked about Charlie Sheen, Ashton Kutcher and Two and a Half Men . . . but only for a minute. Of course, the boys made some picks this week including Matt's pick of John Carpenter's They Live and Chris' pick of the book Bossypants by SNL and 30 Rock writer and star Tina Fey.

Some shows, however, are still "on the bubble" such as Chuck and ABC's V. The two also go over why Will Smith joining Tarantino's Django Unleashed would be such a bad idea, the pointlessness of HBO Go when you're a Time Warner Cable customer, and what it means to be a real fan of comedy. Their picks this week were, as usual, quite different. Chris went old school and reminded us how awesome and less ridiculous the first season of 24 was, while Matt explains the insanity and hilarity that ensued in HBO's comedy special Talking Funny starring Ricky Gervais, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, and Louis C.K. And for those who still don't know what the title is referencing, and why Matt is singing through most of the episode, behold the original theme to the film Django. Take a listen to what we're talking about in this week's episode after the jump.

As for their picks, the boys went a little more obscure this week. Matt dug deep into his knowledge of Ozploitation films to pick the 1984 Philippe Mora classic The Return of Captain Invincible, a musical comedy starring Alan Arkin and Christopher Lee. Chris also went old school and picked the first season from the original Twilight Zone series, which is currently available on Instant Netflix.
