OVERVIEW:

We cover all the Canadian announcements and WORLD PREMIERES from The Game Awards 2K22 edition- and boy did Keighley deliver. We then wishlist some contentious DLC for The Long Dark, dish on what we think of Drinkbox's Nobody Saves the World upon completion and Steve's disappointing time with Callisto Protocol- and why he's playing Elden Ring instead (probably why it won GOTY... and the Clinton connection).

LISTEN HERE:
