Pocket Gamer Podcast: Episode 256 - Christmas Special
It's Ebenezer good
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
No sound could be heard, bar the click of a mouse;
Browsing and shopping and looking at crap,
Ebenezer was searching for something to tap. A game for iPhone to eat up the time
Between now and the moment the New Year's bell chimes;
Yet the time he'd spent searching had all been a waste,
For, you see, Ebenezer had terrible taste. He didn't buy Pokemon, or The Room 2,
Or add Device 6 to his download queue;
He played movie tie-ins like World War Z
And wasted his money on duff IAPs. But no matter how loud Ebenezer would play
To drown out the sound of St Nicholas's sleigh,
He couldn't shake off this feeling of dread
Nor silence the voices invading his head. Filling his mind till their din made him sick
And reminding him he was a terrible pr*ck
To family, his friends, and poor old Bob Cratchit,
An employee who thought Scrooge was totally batsh*t,
For ignoring his loved ones and sacking off Christmas,
To lay in his bed all lifeless and listless
And paw at his phone like an arthritic cat
And troll comments boards like an absolute tw*t. But tonight Ebenezer is in for a shock,
For upon his front door comes a terrible knock... Download episode 256: MP3
