We promised a surprise the last time for the final show of 2012. With the release of The Hobbit in cinemas, it was logical that MO5.COM Podcasts return for an episode featuring Gollum, and with a running time worthy of a Peter Jackson film! This special podcast is the first, but we hope not the last, to look at the history of a cult video game magazine, in this case Joypad. Recorded exceptionally on the premises of Gameblog with their equipment, this programme also looks at the very specific situation of the press in the 90s, in the company of Trazom, JulienC, Julo and RaHaN.
The participants in this podcast are :

• Nourdine Niniaka Trazom
• Julien Chièzeaka Gollum or JulienC
• Julien Hubertaka Julo
• Gregory Szriftgiseraka RaHaN
• Yves BreemMO5.COM member and specialist press expert
• and Jean-Sébastien Brugalata master of kung fu

As a bonus, we're giving you links to the videos featured in this podcast, such as Greetings 1998 (with El Fredo de la télématique), The kung fu lesson of Kendy or the famous videowhich prompted Disney to part company with Joystick. And as I wanted to pay tribute to Greg who couldn't join us as he was in Japan, here's a small casserole dish Christmas.

This 2h21 programme can be listened to using the player above, downloaded or via iTunes. Feel free to leave comments or ask questions, either here or at the page Facebook podcasts. We'll be answering all these questions in future broadcasts.
