GameSpot's Justin Haywald joins Cheddar to discuss whether it's time to take the habit seriously. The managing editor explains the potential symptoms to watch for as evidence of a serious problem.
Then, we take a look back at the biggest gaming stories of the year. Haywald explains why 2017 is regarded as Nintendo's renaissance. From strong Switch sales to two of the year's best-reviewed games, Nintendo's bet on nostalgia paid off.
