It’s the AVoCADo GamesCast’s ten-year anniversary!!!

That’s right, we’ve been at this for a decade. An entire decade of discussions, debates, and Randy Pitchford jokes. For our tenth anniversary, The Kappa and I decided to do a retrospective on some of the games we were playing in 2016 — some widely beloved favourites, like Titanfall 2; some hidden gems, like 1979 Revolution: Black Friday; and some weird, misbegotten experiments, like Hawken. We hope you enjoy reminiscing on the year as much as we did.
