Kenny, Alice, Tom and Spaff attend his week's episode of the podcast , which takes a dive into the mundane as we discuss tiling, shelf erecting, sink unblocking, and moving house. Kenny explains Burns Night, which leads to a special reading of a Burns Night classic poem, and that's not the only performance… that is if you could our impromptu attempt to record a song a performance.

Links to random things mentioned in this podcast:

• Burns Night poem

It seems we’re starting the year off with quite the bang here at Media Molecule, celebrating both year six as a company and the very first birthday for LittleBigPlanet 2 this January. Some very hungry molecules gathered upstairs for a nice spot of lunch yesterday, possibly accented with a larger spot of bubbly.

Spirits were high! So high, in fact, that a few molecules seemed to sprout wings during a match of table tennis.

But I digress, the best gift this month doesn’t have to do with John and Omar’s astonishing knack for flight. No, that honour goes to you, dearest lovely fans, for being so very amazing. This month, LittleBigPlanet reached 6 Mmillllllllllliooonnnnn levels—zounds, have you all been busy! So, we’re taking the opportunity to say a very special thank you for all your support, and we hope you’ve had (and continue to have) as much fun playing (and making!) as we’ve had. None of this would be possible without you!

We may be saying goodbye to tides of yule and, alas, bidding farewell to the entirety of last year, but please take time to welcome, welcome, welcome 2012’s first Mm podcast goodness! In keeping with new beginnings, keen listeners may notice we’ve freshened up the format a bit – and the addition of snazzy sounds is surely not to be missed!

This week’s TOPIC OF THE WEEK (WEEk WEek Week week….echo echo) is: “What is your new year’s resolution?” Feel free to chime in with yours in the comments below! Additionally, Kenny, Spaff, Tom, and Alice discuss who did what and where over the new year, dive into the latest and greatest LBP happenings, dance dangerously close to Kenny’s Star Wars mega-fan triggers, and dust off the good ol’ mail bag. We hope you enjoy it!

“Ho Ho Ho!” says Kenny’s somewhat dodgy Santa impersonation, for what seems like the second time. Oh, that’s because it IS the second time. Behold! The gang gets a dose of holiday ‘deja vu’ thanks to a failed first attempt at recording the podcast this week in a pub. Alas, the Pubcast was not to be, but don’t be sad—‘tis the season to be jolly! (And your ears will thank us for re-recording in Kenny’s sweet sound cave.)

It’s a jam-packed episode this week, for you dear listeners, on this Christmas Eve’s eve, with Kenny, Alice, Spaff, Tom, and John all squeezed into a the aforementioned (cosy) cave to recount their special family Christmas traditions, reveal a few holiday confessions,and revel in Little Big Planet’s bountiful collection of community Christmas competitions!

We hope you enjoy your own holiday festivities, whatever those may be!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

With 75% of the gang infected with lurgy, the podcast room is filled with germs this week, and the mood seems somewhat glum - don’t worry though, we’re still here to ramble on about the latest LBP happenings and somehow steer those conversations into madness, and with Christmas just around the corner we’ll be filled with cheer in no time… just don’t get too close though,  you might catch something!

We’re missing some very important molecules from our team, if one of these sounds like a job you’d be good at then can you to come and help us make games please?

We’d be very grateful and celebrate with cake, champagne, and a little dance. We’d make sure there was even enough cake to take some home in a party bag to enjoy later with a cup of tea too, and maybe even enough to eat for breakfast the next day. Cake for breakfast is what Media Molecule is all about. Oh and the making games thing too.

Read on to see the jobs…

Behold yee the winner and honourable mentions of the recent Move Masterpiece contest over on the LittleBigWorkshop forums.

All of these wonderful meisterworks were made with the Move Paint tool from the LBP2 Move pack, look at them shine and sparkle with their pixelated inks!

The Winner

September Girl By natuhito

Although there was much deliberation, there’s no denying that September Girl was our favourite Move Masterpiece entry!
We saw plenty of Sackboy and Sackgirl paintings but what really caught our eye with this particular painting was the way that natuhito had managed to capture pure human emotion and expression into the portrait.
The level of detail involved is simply superb with such an incredible amount of detail and attention put into ensuring that the painting is suitably symmetrical for a human being and that the shadowing and lighting across the whole piece was spot on to help truly bring the painting to life!

Honourable mentions

Alice In Zombieland By Foreva-Dead

London’s Burning By Olmco

Lone Wolf By Haymurus

Scribbled Scenery By Slapp-Me-Do

Starry Night By RedJackal1

The Little Elf By Konfedia

The Thinking Creator By Crasher360

Tree of Hope By BloodSynlol

Say hello to our Mo Bros’ Mos! These brave Moustache-keteers have been growing taches all month in a sponsored event for charity, and as Movember reaches an end, it’s time to twiddle their facial hair and raise a glass to their success!

BEFORE

AFTER!

The team raised £500 for men’s health, £100 per moustache, which is a fine, fine amount! Good work team!

Sworiorirrssshhhhh. Tumbleweed blows down a dusty path.

Puofffff! A wizard appears! With a podcast!

So whilst some of you are sitting back relaxing with a Thanksgiving meal digesting not-so-quietly inside that ever-so-slightly-round belly of yours; boot up your podcast player and enjoy this week as Kenny, Spaff, Tom and Alice join the podcast for a half hour chit chat about whats been going on, have a quick dig in the mail bag and talk about video games.
