Regarding Zelda, put me in the "it's probably going to be more of the same" category. I'd love to be proven wrong, but...
As for the picks, I'd like to applaud Karl in particular for going somewhat off the reservation in his selections. Not that I'm knocking everyone else's picks (my own would be 999, DKCR, and Monster Hunter Tri, so I'm not exactly original myself...), but it was refreshing to hear a different list of games, and he's actually got me to look into Art of Balance, to the point where I'm probably going to pick it up soon.
All in all, a good show once more to cap off the year, and I look forward to hearing from you guys more often.
