Then, we take a look back at the biggest gaming stories of the year. Haywald explains why 2017 is regarded as Nintendo's renaissance. From strong Switch sales to two of the year's best-reviewed games, Nintendo's bet on nostalgia paid off.
Haywald also reveals why "Star Wars" wasn't able to match its box-office success in the gaming industry. "Battlefront II" debuted to poor reviews and an increasingly divisive Loot Box scandal. He also reveals the company making the biggest strides in bringing VR to the mainstream.

With winter officially underway, a cup of tea is a perfect way to see off that cold.

Executive Chef Michael King also demonstrated some treats to enjoy with tea.
Tom Smothers, half of the Smothers Brothers and the co-host of one of the most socially conscious and groundbreaking television shows in the history of the medium, has died at 86.
