The Game Awards are 1 week away and we have one burning question - what is that statue being teased in the middle of the Mojave Desert? It also means a whole bunch of nominees to discuss on the show. After that we move into the games we have been playing (and earning a Platinum trophy) including Ghost of Yotei and Dispatch. We review them both. Finally, we end on YOUR emails including what our favorite theme park ride is. All this and much more! Thanks for listening!

A show 3 weeks in a row? Now we are cooking! We start things off with a huge video game delay that has Nick bummed. PS5 turns 5 and we reflect on its first 5 years. We quickly touch on an underwhelming State of Play. Jon reviews the hot indie game Ball cross Pit. Valve announces new hardware that does not include a new Steam Deck. We revisit our topic from last week now that ARC Raiders had an excellent launch… is it GOTY material? We then end on YOUR email about whether or not indie developers should do more for their fellow developers. Thanks for listening! Intro: Steam Machine Announcement 6 Things: - Grand Theft Auto VI Delayed - PlayStation 5 Turns 5 - Ball x Pit - Steam Machine Announcement - Is ARC Raiders a GOTY Contender? - Emails!

A show two weeks in a row? Okay! We are back on our normal cadence and it feels great. We read YOUR emails on the show discussing adventure video games and Ghost of Yotei. GamesRadar's annual award show, the Golden Joystick, released the 12 nominees for its Ultimate Game of the Year category and we picked our top 6. We then wrap things up by giving impressions of the narrative adventure game Dispatch and review the incredible indie game Cocoon. Thanks for listening!
