The Scribies 2025 - Gremlinsesque

What this episode covers

With time, any game could be the coolest ancient artefact. Welcome to the first ever Scribies, an award show and definitely not an itchy reaction to a species of mite: that would be Scabies. In the Scribies, we choose winners for myriad categories from the pool of games that we have played and talked about for the podcast this year. We’ve brought back some fan favorite categories like Least Likely to be Compared to Dark Souls and The Newlywed Game, as well as introduced some new classics such as “The Dad Award,” so there’s a lot to look forward to and a great variety in the nominations to be made. The best news is that if you have award fatigue after so many years-end celebrations across so many industries, you can rest assured our awards specifically target a sample population that has extremely limited relevance and only has like three qualitative categories! It’s basically meaningless in the grand scheme of things! What isn’t meaningless however, is how much we appreciate everyone who listens to podcast and these year end wrap up episodes. We just entered our first year with the new name, so we do want to shout out everyone who has stuck around. However, we also appreciate+, an extra premium tier of appreciation, anyone who has or will submit game suggestions for Fanbruary, which is rapidly approaching. Next time, we’re going to be talking about That Which Gave Chase, a short but frigidly cold wintertime horror title, and Fanbruary begins immediately after that, so we hope you’ll join us then and hope that we can choose from among some of your favorite games when Fanbruary rolls around!
