Army of Two: The 40th Day executive producer Reid Schneider joins us this week to talk about his just-released bromantic shooter sequel. He talks about releasing a game in January as opposed to the holidays, the prospects for “Army of Three,” and how to play the currently-locked-to-preorders-only Extraction multiplayer mode — even if you didn’t preorder. Plus, we go over what the top 20 most played games on Xbox Live and Xbox Live Arcade were, and we’ve got more goodies to give away from Telltale Games and Control Skateboards.

We’ll be back “live” next week, but in the meantime we present our annual end-of-year (er, beginning-of-year, in this case) tradition: the bloopers show! Enjoy all of our mistakes, gaffes, and outtakes — strung together in one long non sequitur. Enjoy, and Happy New Year!

No, we’re not dead! After a scheduling conflict last week, we’re back (albeit a bit late — blame the Christmas turkey for putting us to sleep). We’re talking holidays, November sales numbers, Van Halen, and more on the year’s final “live” show. But be sure to tune in next week for our annual bloopers episode!

We’re mourning the loss of Dan this week, as he’s moving to Los Angeles to work for Activision as “their Major Nelson.” Yes, that means it’s his last show ever, so we goof on him, surprise him with a phone call from an old friend, and even try to make him cry. Sure, there’s some other usual show stuff in there too, but this week it’s all about giving a proper sendoff to our old friend. Tune in for an episode of KOXM unlike any other.
