In 2012, most video game news seems to revolve around America. Well, b-h-to-that.

We stand for Queen, Country and Video Games. B.R.B. UK. Worst teeth. Better accents.

Hello, and indeed ahoi-hoi and in case you didn't notice it's not your normal ahoy-ah-ohia.

Dan is not with us this week. He's a bit too busy. After Prince Philip was taking ill, he had to go and attend to him,

can't be making podcasts when you're attending to royal physician duties and stuff, obviously. So that's taking him away from the show. And

that means that you've got a bit more of me in your ears, which we all already know is probably

going to be disastrously bad. So yeah, this is the Big Red Battle podcast, episode 17.

Episode 17, not to be confused with Team 17, as we've already had it. Just don't do it. It's

episode 17. That's fine. But it's okay. It's not just me. You don't have to put up with

like 45 minutes of me prattling on your ears. We do have John, who normally does come here and comes in second. Third, rather, you're being moved up to second place now. We're here to introduce you second. It's a promotion. How do you feel, John? Is that good? That's, I, best thing it's happened to me all year. You're still the highest ranking Scotsman in the company. That's because there's only one only. Exactly. Even though we have an Australian Scotsman as well. Doesn't count. Yeah, not quite. Yeah,

he's not a native. But we also have another special guest that we've roped in, got him in here

at the last minute, a great expense of no money at all. And yeah, hello Matt.

Hey, what's up?

And for anyone that doesn't know you, what are you and who do you do?

I write some content for the website.

I do a couple podcasts all over the place.

And yeah, I'm on the videos that we do occasionally.

Yeah! Yeah!

We've done videos before, together, and things.

I don't want to know what kind of videos you guys have done.

I knew you'd go.

I knew you'd go.
