Show notes
We spend most of this week's show unpacking all the announcements and trailers out of the Game Awards, including Control Resonant, Ontos, Gang of Dragon, Divinity, the Street Fighter movie, Mega Man: Dual Override, Star Wars: Galactic Racer and Fate of the Old Republic, and a ton of other stuff. Plus, games we plan to dig into over the holidays, some final thoughts as we approach the end of 2025, and more!CHAPTERS(00:00:00) NOTE: Some timecodes may be inaccurate for versions other than the ad-free Patreon version due to dynamic ad insertions.
