Late?  What do you mean, late?  We've been here for ages, honest! (Okay, it's a fair cop - but better late than never, eh?) Once again the Geek Syndicate Network presents our annual array of panel games and silly banter. The First Lady of Scrolls starts things off with her version of Just A Minute, in which the contestants struggle to speak on a given topic without deviation, hesitation or repetition.  Clover's subjects range from grumpy dragons to horny time-travellers, while the clock ticks ever downwards.  You can practically hear the sweat. Next up is newcomer Tim Swann with Pointless, in which the contestants vie to find the most obscure but accurate answers.  For folk unfamiliar with the quiz show, think Family Fortunes in reverse.  Under the microscope are Firefly, Doctor Who, Star Trek and Star Wars. but what everybody really wants to know is how did Tim managed to split his brain in two? We follow up with chameleonic truths and outrageous lies as Dion chairs the classic game of Call My Bluff.  Each contestant presents three definitions of a word or phrase related to film, tv, radio, book, comic, or game.  Their opponents must ask them questions and try to work out the facts from the fibs.  Technical difficulties hit us at this point, but we've preserved most of the show. Finally, Matt Farr (the otherwise genial Grampus) dons his alter-ego as Lord Alan Sidious, weeding out the wastrels in his sour-faced search for the next Sith Apprentice.  The contestants each take on the role of a villain from anywhere in space and time, pitching their plans for domination to Lord Alan. Who will impress the Enterprising Emperor and who will be summarily executed? We lost Mr Ambler's game of Geeking Talk to gremlins, but two hours ought to be enough for you all. So, grab some nibbles, pop your party hat on and help us drain the last dregs of Christmas spirit as Dissecting Scrolls Solves Christmas! [Musical snatches come from Eddie Reader's album The Songs Of Robert Burns.  I think she's fab.  You should buy all her stuff.] Stay In Touch. You can follow most of the contestants on Twitter under the following monikers @thegrampus @Dion_Scrolls @Phlambler @tetrarchangel What do Points make?  Prizes! Sadly, we have no faith in our scoring systems, so the decision is YOURS.  Tell us who you think THE WINNER is. You have until the end of January to get your votes in as to who is the Overall Winner.  For impartiality, e-mail scrolls@hotmail.co.uk with the subject heading 'Dissecting Scrolls Champion.'  Tell us who you think deserves the bragging rights, and why. A voter will be chosen at random to win a prize. Deadline is 11:59 GMT Jan 31st 2013.

Tim and Max Solve All The Problems With Popular Culture is STILL the newest podcast in the stable of subetheric continua that is the Geek Syndicate Network. The podcast aims to do exactly what it says on the tin – young buccaneers Tim Swann (@tetrarchangel on twitter) of Psycomedia (psycomedia.wordpress.com) and Max Barnard (@maxy_barnard on twitter) of You Must Hear This (imustreadthis.com) identify a key area where popular geek culture falls down and then try and come up with some ways that both the creators and the audience can fix it. In our fifth episode, we discuss subtext, both where it clashes and merges with the text, when the sun hasn't gone to our heads, at least. We also plan Swanncon 2012, picture George Lucas telling Kevin Smith to shut up, plot global population realignment and still find time to highlight the continuing ridiculousness of Marvel Comics.

In our fourth episode, we discuss money, all the songs inspired by money, and we won't tell you any more until you pay us exorbitant fees. Topics of discussion include the grand battle of whether Dollhouse is a good show, the treachery of Michael Bay, the band 10cc, and Tim spends most of the episode pretending he's married to Jennifer Morrison.

In our third episode, we discuss mediocrity, hopefully without being mediocre. There's unavoidable Lucas and Spielberg chat, trying to force stuff into franchises, the problems with properties that sell no matter what, and inevitable preludes to the next episode, which will concern money. We might have been bothered to throw in some solutions, since that's what the franchise demands.

In our second episode, we discuss hypersexualisation, and how the great and the good can fall down (at least in Tim's fragile mind and innocent eyes) by sex getting in the way of their art, and the bad can make everything worse with their impact on sexuality in and out of the arts. But don't worry, there are solutions too! Harry Potter fan-fic features more than you might like.

In the course, we discuss the New 52 (because you haven't had enough of that yet!), panel shows, the joy of Star Trek XI and The Clone Wars TV Series, and why changing to include basic human decency might help everyone out.
