Who would've guessed a 1995 video game about a robot space rabbit would foretell the battle against the Boomers hoarding resources at the expense of everyone else? Uh, we mean... man, that crazy Baron Aloha sure is an outlandish villain not at all grounded in reality!

We're not necessarily saying it's prophetic or anything, but when popular media gives us the likes of pro-wrestler-turned-mayor Mike Haggar, pro-wrestler-turned-governor Jesse Ventura, and pro-wrestler-turned-president Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho we just kinda feel like maybe it's saying something. Does our special guest, Phil of the Deleted Saves Podcast, agree with our wrestling-to-politics pipeline theory? Find out!

Who doesn't love a bunch of objectively useless crap to put on their shelves? Certainly not gamers; we are all about that junk. From giant PVC statues to replica jewelry, video game collector's editions can always be counted on to fill our lives with overpriced paraphernalia that we will cherish always.

Sometimes it's not a horrifying eldritch entity or a horde of flesh-eating zombies that are the problem; sometimes it's just a kid with a serious grudge. Here are our top picks for younglings that we wouldn't have minded Anakin "taking care of."

The people have spoken, and they crave violence. Well, perhaps more like "negativity" but that just doesn't have the same ring to it. We covered a lot of games this year, and here are the ones that stood out amongst the pack for all the wrong reasons.
