Slum'n For News
It’s the end of the year and news is kind of (read as: really) slow. We scratched together a few news items to talk about but for the most part we discuss some notible moments in 2011 and what we are looking forward too in 2012....

Jarret is Executive Director as well as one of the founding members of Mash Those Buttons. He plays all types of games, but tends to lean more toward FPS, Stealth, and Combat games.
The only things Rob has been doing longer than gaming are breathing, sleeping, eating, and reading. RPGs were what made him view games as an experience instead of a distraction, but these days he likes and plays every genre gaming has to offer.

Seriously folks, reading this acknowledges that you relieve MTB of any and all legal liability for his actions.
Katie has always had a connection to games and was able to make Super Mario Bros. a motion game before Nintendo even thought of the Wii.
