You Like the Worst Stuff

We've all seen it... the Switch 2 is real, and it's exactly what you would expect. Which has some folks a little disappointed. How do your Worst Pals feel about it? Also in this episode...

RECORDED AT THE VERY END OF 2024!!!! Your Worst Pals are looking back at a terrible year and keeping our eyes closed as 2025 begins. We'll go through our personal Yeahs and Un-Yeahs for the year, and we'll reveal our Game(s) of the Year! We'll also look back to our 2023 picks on what we thought 2024 would deliver... and make the same baseless predictions/requests for 2025! See you all nexCONTROL-D this year!

Here now, for the first time in recorded history, are the first six You Like the Worst Stuff holiday specials! Maybe you heard them before, maybe you've been trying to avoid them, but we collected them all into one episode anyway. It's six years of podcast in-jokes, holiday parodies, and songs of mirth and merriment all gathered together to launch you into the worst year yet.

- Episode #297, 2018, where we did A Christmas Carol

- Episode #343, 2019, where we did It's a Wonderful Life

- Episode #385, 2020, where we did Charlie Brown Christmas

- Episode #431, 2021, where we did Frosty the Snowman

- Episode #471, 2022, where we did a holiday romcom

- Episode #511, 2023, where we did a musical variety special

It's time for another You Like the Worst Stuff holiday special! This year we look forward with furrowed brows and red-rimmed eyes as we contemplate 2025. Who can save us? Die Hard? Blind Melon? PlayDate? John Madden?

Following up on our Game Awards voting show, Haygood and Tony swing in with eight correct predictions... but Kat is the real winner with her support of Astro Bot! In this week's show, we talk about the winner lineup and the show in general. And how about those third-party accessory Switch 2 leaks?

On this week's episode, we're talking about our favorite video game soundtracks... but not the usual dusty old classics, we're not mooning over NES DuckTales or those Donkey Kong games. We're picking the best of the past ten years! (With a couple asterisks for re-releases. Hey, if DLC can win a Game of the Year award, we can give a remaster a listen!) Also in this episode...

Settle down with your low-fi pals and enjoy a live voting session for The Game Awards! We're goofed up on hop balls and making our picks in such categories as "Most Anticipated Death Stranding Sequel" and "Best DLC Even Though We Made It So DLC Could Win The Whole Thing." You're going to hear a lot of Balatro, Metaphor and Astro Bot partisanism... and oddly enough, a lot of Casino Night Zone?

Big holiday weekend in the USA, including the most important holiday of all: Black Friday! This year we're talking about Black Friday before it happens, and it's only about 10% less boring than when we talk about it after it happens. Also in this episode...

It's game awards season, and in this episode (recorded before nominees were announced) we point and laugh at the reveal that DLC is now eligible in all categories. Gee, what do you think is going on there? Also in this episode...
