Only 2 more podcasts left till Christmas over in Cranky Towers the gaming is being done at a more leisurely pace, I have had my feet up most of the week recuperating and Toz has dug out a couple of oldies (and I don't mean the presenters).

Toz's Unfinished Swan is now finished  and  I am slowly closing in on Prestige 1 with Black Ops II, we have details on the Clan Ops and a PS3 retro night in the Clubs and Clans section, some news on Bioshock Infinite again being delayed and the Guitar Hero sequel that got cancelled. The and finally is all about the Hitman Absolution promo that went a bit too far.......... or did it? and a smorgasbord of listeners questions all wrapped up in a Christmas selection box that is show 183.

Well this week got off to a false start with my cancelled operation so what should have been a busy gaming week didn't really happen, and with a catastrophe on one of my games (find out which in my WWBP).

Toz tells us about his close shave with his wedding plans and how they nearly got thrown into disarray and I got on camera this week (well actually my insides did)
