Summary: Hey friends, welcome to this week’s podcast! This week, <a href="https://www.alienpickle.com/">Jim</a>, Spaz and I close out 2018 by looking back at this busy year and talk about what surprised us, what depressed us and a lot more. We talked about a LOT of games, so it’s a pretty long episode, but we covered a lot, and had a lot of fun, so I hope you have as much fun listening to it as we did making it.<br> We’re back on January 8th, 2019 with <a href="https://gpawley.itch.io/star-dynasties">Star Dynasties</a>, so until then, may you have a joyous holiday season and a very happy new year.<br> As always, if you have any questions or comments, drop them below, email us at <a href="mailto:hail@spacegamejunkie.com">hail@spacegamejunkie.com</a> or hit us up on <a href="https://steamcommunity.com/groups/spacegamejunkie/discussions">the forums</a>.
