Can a whiskey recommendation lead to a global gaming adventure? Seb and Scotty believe it can, as they toast to their international audience with a nod to Canadian Club whiskey. We kick things off by comparing our Nintendo Switch wrap-up stats—Seb admits to a lighter gaming year influenced by his wife's love for Just Dance and Super Smash Bros, while Scotty boasts a more impressive roster, crowning Red Dead Redemption his game of the year for 2024. Join us as we revel in our camaraderie and continue our exploration of gaming passions together.

Step into the world of indie games, where the charm of retro remakes on the Nintendo Switch steals the spotlight. We're smitten by the delight of Ship of Fools, a co-op roguelike from Team 17, and immerse ourselves in its animated art and ship management chaos. Even if the market response was tepid, our excitement is palpable. We also break down the frantic fun of Speed Crew, a game that's an Overcooked-style pit crew frenzy, celebrating the teamwork and mayhem that indie gems offer.

As the holidays approach, we're ready with festive gaming gems. From family-friendly classics like Mario Kart to the snow-clad streets of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, our recommendations will keep your spirits high. Seb shares his own festive cheer with the purchase of a PS5 Spider-Man 2 limited edition console, while a nostalgic nod goes to Arkham Origins and its Christmas-themed Gotham. We wrap up with a shout-out to our UCP family, weaving in the quirks and personalities that make our podcast community one-of-a-kind.
