Our buddies at The Geek Cave are back with more hijinks.This time, they’re taking a look at which company in geek culture — comics, movies, and video games — treated their fans the crappiest in 2012 with their annual “Crystal Steamer Award.” This year’s nominees: Bethesda for their handling of Skyrim for the PS3, Sony for their handling of the PS Vita, and Marvel Comics for their treatment of Spider-Man fans.

The views and opinions expressed in this podcast distinctly those of The Geek Cave, and are not necessarily that of the staff of The Game Fanatics. Contains explicit language.
