Ep. 168 - Game Expansions Should Be Considered for GOTY

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to another episode of the Spectator Mode Podcast, where we discuss the gaming industry and all the things that come with it. In this episode, we get a bit serious as we discuss the differences between having a good year in gaming and having a good year for gamers. Karl is back from PAX AUS 2024 and he gives us the rundown, as well as his meet-up with Square Enix's Yoshi-P. We aren't done being serious as we point at the countless GOTY shows and ask why expansions aren't included in the fun. That and more on this episode! This is a mature podcast and we do use adult language... we curse a bit, but that's it. So, pull up your chair, get some popcorn, and enjoy the blend of chaos and fu that only we can bring to you.Hosts:Keith Mitchell (@shadowhaxor)Scott Adams (@sithscott)Karl Smart (@themasething)Timestamps:00: 00 - Intro00:31 - Games/shows we’ve played or watched recently20:36 - No, we are not having a good gaming year36:11  - Karl’s PAX Aus 2024 adventure1:04:01 - Karl speaks with Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P)1:14:19 - Should expansions be considered for GOTY awards1:31:27 - Windows updates adding co-pilot frustrates us 1:34:55 - Please stop spreading these terrible PC gaming stigmas1:40:24 - Watching and listening to toxic content creators is bad for you 1:46:31 - Outro Follow us on Twitter, YouTube, and our website, as well as check out the spectator mode podcast at Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Buzzsprout, Spotify, and wherever podcasts are hosted.Support the showYou can find the Spectator Mode podcast on the following podcast platforms.
