Congratulations! You and the rest of Remap survived until S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. Naturally, Rob has been spending an extraordinary amount of time in The Zone, but first, we have to talk about 2024’s The Game Awards nominees, Steam being called out for harboring nazis, and rumors Sony might buy the media company Kadokawa, who owns a significant chunk of FromSoftware. Elsewhere, Janet’s been trying to figure out if she’s smart enough for Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, while Patrick has disappointing news to share about a few hours spent playing Avowed.
