Game Time With Manny

Look, I like talking about video games so the length of this podcast got a little out of hand. As usual our annual GOTY categories is long, but somehow it's our longest one yet. Next week's actual GOTY podcast will probably be comically long too, but I PROMISE that we will get back to making more manageable stuff in the new year. Anyways, I hope you enjoy! Not GOTY Categories - 00:33 to 23:00 GOTY Categories - 23:01 to the end of the podcast

This week the news is all about CD Projekt Red and Cyberpunk. Everything is a total shit show! For games we've been playing I go off about Cyberpunk and then Matt talks about games he's been enjoying! To finish Matt decides that he wants Yakuza: Like a Dragon spoiled for him, so I talk for WAY too long about the plot.

The game awards gave us a great deal of news to talk about, but we save that for the end of the podcast. First we continue to scrape the bottom of the barrel, and then talk about the hot games we've been playing.
