In this awards season special, Frank and Lilac Boots dive into gaming's top honors!

• Joystick Winners: We celebrate the Golden Joystick Awards, where Clair Obscure and Ghost of Tsushima earned top prizes. The hosts praise the ceremony's focus on actual gaming achievement.

• The Snub: Frank argues that the Twisted Metal adaptation was unfairly ignored by both the Golden Joystick and The Game Awards (TGA) in the Best Adaptation category.

• TGA Talk: The crew breaks down the TGA nominations, questioning the transparency and corporate nature of the voting process.

• Sims 4 Chaos: Lilac Boots details the unexpected drama in The Sims community: a popular tool unlocking all Sims 4 DLC for free suddenly went defunct after its creator stepped away. The controversy intensified when another modder began charging for the same system.

• Game Time: Find out what the hosts are playing this week, including Arc Raiders, Fortnite, and a Ghost of Tsushima Platinum run.
