Bonus - The Game Awards 2025

It's that time of year again! The Game Awards aired on December 11, and we're closing out 2025 by talking about the various award winners and big announcements. Join us as we discuss some troubling reports, the big sweep you probably expected, and how Geoff's got it down bad for a certain Muppet.

Note: The music track at the start of the episode is “Gestral Village - Fight for the Win (Uno Puncho),” composed by Lorien Testard for the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Nos vies en Lumière Bonus Edition album. We in no way have or claim ownership of this music.
