As the year of Elden Ring comes to a close, Billy, Jackie, Kayleigh, and Alan look back on their favorite moments from the game and weigh it against the year's other big titles to decide if Elden Ring is in fact their Game of the Year. Think of this as your holiday special, your bonus track, your B-side: your Elden Ring sendoff.

This is Standard Edish: a video game, book club podcast, where we play through Elden Ring and discuss it bit by bit. It just might be the very best Elden Ring podcast on the internet.

Boring note on Elden Ring SEO: The Elden Ring Reddit once mentioned that we should rename the podcast to the Elden Ring Podcast so that we could get discovered more easily. It got us wondering if we were to write a super long description in which we repeatedly say Elden Ring and Podcast and even Elden Ring Podcast, could it help us get the SeOs? No one knows for sure, and ultimately we decided a long explanation about whether or not we should change our name to the Elden Ring Podcast was silly and would ultimately be a boring read, even if it did say Elden Ring a lot and raise us up in the Elden Ring Seos. Instead, we decided to call out that this is an Elden Ring Podcast in the podcast description, which is a whole other thing you can do that we didn't know about at first. But again, we want to thank the Elden Ring Reddit for their consistent contributions and let them know we sincerely considered changing the name to the Elden Ring Podcast, but ultimately decided against it for now, mainly because we plan to book club/breakdown other games besides Elden Ring in the future. Oh, we also decided against writing the long Elden Ring Podcast description as we felt it would be in poor taste. Elden Ring!
