Ep 115: GAME OF THE YEAR 2019 - CLASH OF THE INFINITE BEINGS Dec 26, 2019

Okay, forget about this weak pathetic award ceremony bullshit. It’s time for an all-out bloodbath massacre.

There will be spoilers for every game we’ve played this year.

Friendships will be tested as we try to convince one another that our respective video games are the best. Loyalties will be betrayed as secret pacts are formed to ensure our undeserved success. There is no honour left among the foul, depraved, opinionated, sloshed, button-mashing cretins what we have become...

We have 51* video game titles to count down and rank. Which one will be NUMBER ONE? WHAT IS GAME OF THE YEAR 2019?

* There are actually 53 titles, we forgot to include ‘Kingdom Hearts III’ and ‘Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night’. They didn’t leave a big impression on us and would have ranked in the 45th - 40th range.
