32 games…One Winner. Congrats to Batman: Arkham Asylum for winning the GHR December Madness Tournament for game of 2009 according to the votes by the GHR forum community. Also, congrats to Rocksteady Studios for creating the game that made waves in the gaming community. Thanks to all who voted, discussed, and lobbied for the games in this year’s event.
As mentioned in episode 98, the 32 Video Game Tournament from the list of 2009 Game Releases can now be voted on in the forums here. Last year’s winner was Fallout 3, who will take this year’s trophy. This year’s list is made up of user submitted titles. Keep in mind that this whole idea is for fun and should not be taken for gospel in whatever game does win the tournament. All in all please vote on the games for Round FOUR (ends January 3) and the Final Round will commence with the winners of your votes for this week. Thanks and game on.
For our 100th Episode we would love to receive any messages you would like to share for the show.

Please send any mp3 files or messages to lovesack@gamerhusbands.com. In order to be on the show all submissions would have to be received by December 21. Thanks again.

As a kid the things I looked forward to the most on the weekends were Saturday morning cartoons and looking at the comics in the Sunday paper. As an adult I rarely get up early enough for cartoons anymore but do wake up just in time for College Football. I do not even bother getting a newspaper for any reason now. Thanks to Al Gore and the beautiful Interwebs, I pick and choose what I want to read on and be entertained by. With slow days at work I am forced to fill the gaps of boredom with internet surfing though most the oceans tend to be blocked. One area that has not been blocked is the web comic area. So I thought I would share some web comic sites that I have enjoyed and perhaps you can let me know which ones you think I should venture into to add to my surfing library. So let us begin:
Just a reminder that I will be starting this year’s Extra Life marathon tonight at 11:59 PM EST. I do not expect all the GHR team to start at this time but it was the time that worked best for me. Most other gaming sites will be starting at Sarcastic Gamer’s starting time of 8 AM EST Saturday. Once again, HUGE Thank You to all involved in supporting this event. You are a hero to people that you do not even know and do not know you. God Bless!
We have all heard the stories before: Woman sues McDonalds for burning herself with hot coffee, Robber wins lawsuit about cop shooting him, woman wins lawsuit for breaking her tailbone from slipping on her spilt drink in a restaurant, and the list goes on and on. Well now this has carried over into the Video Game Characters’ Community.
Cancer. Just by reading the word I’m sure you can think of someone that has touched your life in some way that has battled with or currently is battling with this disease. It does not care who you are, your age, or where you are at in life. But you can be a part to help against this viscious killer. Last year we had the awesome opportunity to partner with Extra Life, a charity event started by Sarcastic Gamer in conjunction with the Texas Children’s Hospital to help provide funding for children with cancer. Last year we along with many other communities raised over $120,000! Now it’s that time again where we can be a part of a great cause to continue the fight on these kid’s and their families’ behalves.
On October 17th, the GHR Extra Life Team will join with Sarcastic Gamer and many more communities again by staying up for 24 hours straight playing Video Games.
