But wait, if the world is ending, why bother extending the schedule past the fateful date of destruction? Well, it just looked too unbalanced when chopped in half! And besides, if the world ends with a zombie apocalypse, who's to say that we won't enjoy some shows even when we become zombies? Speaking of endings, what is your prediction for the final finale?
5:00 p.m. EST: Beau -- Goodgame Empire
Beau is checking out this cool looking MMORTS by Goodgame Studios. Will it stand out from other games of its kind, or will it be just like all the others? Tune in and see what Beau thinks!
7:00 p.m. EST: Mike -- EVE Online
It's Mike's last stream before he ventures into the backwoods of Texas for the holidays, so what better way to celebrate than by blowing up a bunch of ships and generally creating havoc? Tune in for some classic RVB PvP (for those who don't know what that means, it loosely translates to "explosions"). If Mike doesn't lose at least one ship, he'll eat the EVE cowboy hat.
