Man, we should probably all start playing some video games on this video game podcast...
Welcome to the last regular episode of Nerds Without Pants of 2014! Since it is our last opportunity to talk about what media we’ve been consuming until January, we get together and…not really talk much about video games. Huh. Well, it’s a show, anyway.
Apparently Mario and Zelda games sell really, really well.
Nintendo hasn’t been doing so well in the sales department lately. Wii sales are stagnant, the 3DS got off to a rough start and new titles have been few and far between for both systems. But even with all that considered, when things look bleak for Nintendo they can always count on Link and Mario to do some heavy lifting and they did just that this past “Black Friday” setting records along the way.
Now that turkey day is over, let the shopping spree begin.
If you haven't been paying attention, you might've missed the various deals that have been slowly leaking out over the course of November for today's big shopping day. Thankfully, we've kept track of everything and posted the deals along the way. For many, your shopping day has already started, but some of you may just be getting ready to brave the crowds.

The end of the week will bring big savings at these two department stores.
Sears' Black Friday deals will see the New Super Mario Bros Wii bundle at $134.99, a $15 discount.
