In a slight pause from the original broadcasting, we bring to you our GITY.

Like GOTY, only not because it's not at the conventional time of year and there's no Elden Ring and it's 

This show is the unedited, raw audio so doesn't feature the usual bells and whistles, but rather than make you all wait we wanted to put out something for the millions of fans.
