b'In this, sadly, Monkey-less episode of The State of Games, Dice fills an empty co-host seat with designers TC Petty III (of VivaJava fame) and Darrell Louder (creator of Compounded). The trio talk a bit about the upcoming Unpub 3 and the over 60 unpublished games that will descend on Dover Delaware, then turn their attention to a long look back at the best games and memories of 2012, including Fleet, Myrmes, X-Wing Miniatures Game, Maya, Seasons, DC Deckbuilding Game, Vegas and much, much more. Come on in and start this new year off the Dice Hate Me way!'
