Scanline Talks

Our Gimmick Awards for 2018 continue with the big question on everyone's mind: what about them tunes, though? Allen, star of the Gimmick Award's opening music podcast, joins Six and Jen to discover which song is Our Jam this year, and which works are worthy of being spoken in the same hushed tones. Or loud tones: sometimes it's good to play music loud.

We've talked about 2018's most disappointing game, but the games industry is more than just the games that make it up. There's also the people, culture, and events SURROUNDING the games. And those... can let us down pretty hard as well. Harri joins Six and Jen once again to figure out the Facepalm of the Year.

Sometimes, it's not enough to just look at the present, or even what's on the horizon. Sometimes you need to reach into the past, and grab relics thereof to bring forward and appreciate anew. That's the thinking behind our Best Old Game category, where returning guest Nick joins Jen and Six to talk about non-2018 games that they, nonetheless, played in 2018.

Here at Scanline Media, we're big fans of fighting games. As it turns out, our feelings on them are so strong, one GotY category isn't enough! Kyrie Page joins us on this pod for a discussion about the best new challenger to arrive in a fighting game in 2018.

Nick joins Jen and Six for a discussion of the Most Disappointing Games of 2018 in this episode of the Gimmick Awards. There are some very strong nominees, everyone has their personal favorites, but in the end, there can only be one winner, and two runners up! Who will win the ?gold?
