This episode we celebrate one year of No Quarters AND present our 2010 Favorites of the Year or FOTYs. There’s too many Games of the Year out there so we wanted to do it up right and throw down some FOTYs. Before we get to that we review NBA Jam, Call of Duty: Black Ops and BJ enters into the world of Gears of War 2 finally.

Second half it’s all FOTY talk as we break down the best of the year (and maybe last year) as we go through our various made up categories. Enjoy!

This episode we go crazy with all kinds of talk. There’s the part where we eat a bowl of crow as we enjoy Microsoft Kinect and Sony Move. We talk Rock Band 3, Force Unleashed 2, Fallout: New Vegas, William’s Pinball Collection, and a ton more. Seriously, it’s jam packed with so much  stuff you’ll have to read the show notes to get it all. Oh and this random guy we found on the street joins us. I hear he does some viji game podcast called That Video Game Podcast too. Welcome Knobs to the uncensored MFVGP that is No Quarters!

Re:(ach) teh Haloz

During the recording of the last No Quarters it dawned on us that we were recording on a day that many in the video gaming world would regard as a day of high esteem. A red letter day, if you will.  We recorded on the day that a new Halo game came out. And yet, there we were not playing it. How could we continue with our lives not playing this obvious masterpiece? Turns out, a lot of people weren’t playing it.
