Everything You Need to Know about our 2018 Award Show(s)!

With 2018 officially over, we are hard at work on our personal Top 10 lists but as you know (or maybe you don't) we always start the new year off with a special Awards podcast. A big celebration of the best (and worst) that the previous year had to offer! We talk our way through a long list of award categories and the games that we each think are worthy of taking home the (non-existent) trophies! Well this year, we are mixing it up just a little bit so we want to make sure you have everything you need to know to ensure you don't miss out! 

Not only have we added a slew of new categories, our Award show will be split into two episodes this year! Each episode will include a carefully curated list of awards that are focused on Gameplay and Story. As usual, episodes will be recorded live and then made available via our Podcast feeds the within 48-hours (or the next day for Patreon supporters).
