I bet you weren't ready for this 1, 2 combo! We are back it again and bringing the (mild) heat. We pull Dan out of the depths of despair this episode after discussing the shutting down of the single greatest Fighting Game and the number 1 reason so many people throughout the world are soulless: Jump Force. Rest in Greatness. Then we talk about scumbag Bobby Kotick and how much of a scumbag he is. We touch briefly on how the February gamers calendar is actually clearing up a little bit, and how Alex is a no good, rotten, cheater. Finally we go over most of The Game Awards nominees, make some predictions on winners, callout some games that shouldn't be nominated and cry about how Tales of Arise deserved better. But, apparently no one played Tales of Arise, because of they did it would be the most nominated game. I'm not crAZy. As always, we end the show with the games we've been playing and discover another one of Dan's social media accounts. Timestamps follow
