We wish you a Merry Christmas.

We wish you a Merry Christmas.

We wish you Merry Christmas.

And Happy New Year!

Let's see if we're about the same on the way.

I hope you fucking are because I've run out of things to sing about. I'm going to be. The Hello, hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Midlife Game of Podcast Christmas special.

My name is Darren Bullock. And at the other end, no, right in front of my very eyes, Mr. Matthew Moore in the hood. How are you, brother? Oh, I'm feeling so good. Got some company over Christmas. My D-Man's come down. I can't believe. I can't believe. I jumped in the car, drove all the way down

a Hamelhamsted to MLG 3.0. Or is it 3.1? I don't know. But anyway, here we are recording a very special Christmas show. It's going to be a little different to the format that we normally lay out. But I suspect we'll be talking about some games we've been playing recently.

And I understand that we may have some special Christmas messages from various staff and community members. So without further do, ladies and gentlemen, kick back and relax.

Today is the 23rd of December. It's a Sunday and I'm here. So, hey, let's rock and roll.

Mate, you look, you look, Svel. Thank you. If I might, if I might say so myself. I'm going for the, I'm still going for the, sort of the canvas, the canvas shirt. Does that make sense? Is that work? Is it, is it on trend? It is in my world. My world says yes. Okay, buddy. listen. We've been hanging out for an hour or so, and we've chilled out.

We've been doing all sorts of stuff.

We've been signing certificates, finally.

Finally.

So they're going to be winging their way in the post to various participants of the pile of win, which we did way back in September. So good to see. We're all over that in a timely fashion. No change. Okay. Let's talk about what we've been playing, mate, since we last spoke. All right. You take it away. Okay. Well, I'm still playing Far Cry 3. All right. And I'm still enjoying Far Cry 3. I am. I think of trouble is. my fucking television. It's just too dark. I can't see anything. I can't see anything in the caverns. And I'm sure it's not supposed to be that dark and that hard to navigate. But I can't find my way around. That's not the game. That user error. I suspect so. Brightness setting, maybe. RTFM? No, I'm still getting on with them. I've still not redeemed my passport for online play. Okay. This is a purchase for you, wasn't it? It wasn't a rental? No, absolutely. This is straight out to get it. Oh, good, man. Do you see how much that game was, game we doing that for about 20, 27, maybe 26? Oh, there's been, there's been a wonderful amount of deals and offers to be had over the last, the last few weeks. Obviously, we're deeply entrenched in a steam sale at them, steam sale, should you say. God, I'm so excited. I can't even get my words out. Yeah, so, okay, Far Cry 3. Feeling it still? How's that story coming along? So, right. I'm not seeing as much of that crazy guy anymore. I ain't seen him for a while. It's a shame. They replaced it with another sort of a person. He's all right, but he's not. He's no crazy eyes now, is he?

It's not the same. No, that's fine. But as promised, this morning, I did dig out Hitman Absolution. Oh, baldy, bawdy, shooty, shooty guy. Age at 47. Have you played any of the

other Hitman games? Not for any worthwhile note. No. Oh, okay.

And coming into this, that's fine. That's fine. Yeah. I know his name. I know he was a hitman. Do you know his real name or do you just know him as Agent 47? Does he have a real name? I don't know. Is he Derek from Norway? Derek from Norway. No. Your mate Derek, isn't it?

It's not my mate Derek.

But no, it's a good game.

It's a good game so far.

So the plot of this one is that so Agent 47's always had an agency. He's always had like a single point of contact for all of his, his, his, his updates. She went rogue and there the game starts where you track her down and then turn your back on the agency.
