Opening [00:00:00 - 00:00:25]

Introduction -- An introduction to the host of Support Your Carry -- Josh aka Ktulue.  His past experience, favorite genres (everything) and games to play (Halo, Forza Horizon), and mediums (PC and Xbox One) on which he plays video games.  [00:00:25 - 00:02:22]

Expectations -- Josh will detail his expectations for this show, why he is doing it and what you as a listener can expect from his ramblings. [00:02:22 - 00:03:45]

Introduction to Co-Host -- This week's co-host is Steve, Josh's closest and longest friend.  Throughout the show, Steve is also referred to as Brother, since that is how both hosts call each other in real life.  Steve also opens up about his favorite genres (RPG), favorite game (Zelda games), and his favorite medium (Xbox One). [00:02:22 - 00:10:00]

Recent Plays -- Steve has been hooked on Star Wars Battlefront 2 for the past two weeks.  Josh, meanwhile, has been playing through the Forza Horizon series, Star Wars Battlefront 2, and Unreal Tournament 2004, among other games. [00:10:00 - 00:16:30]

Sacred Cow -- Porting old games to new devices.  Josh and Steve discuss whether they like or not their original Xbox games coming digitally to Xbox One; Nintendo releasing the new NES and SNES condensed systems; as well as, emulators that are available.  They wrestle with wonderment of what one can possibly find in the future with this current trend.   [00:16:30 - 00:30:50]

Holiday Memories -- While Josh sips his eggnog, listens to Steve talk about his favorite gaming holiday memories of playing Super Tecmo Bowl. Josh, while he can't remember a precise holiday memory specifically like Steve (too much eggnog, perhaps), recounts his favorite memories of having Halo LAN parties. [00:30:50 - 00:45:16]
