Hearing the Pokemon Red/Blue opening theme song makes me uncontrollably cry for some reason, and I haven't unpacked that yet.
Hey gang, long time no chat! First off, I was 100% right about Astro Bot winning GOTY, so take that!

As a reward for nailing it, it'd be super rad if you subscribed to my brand new newsletter Modern Console Warfare. The first issue goes out tomorrow!

As someone that's seen Wicked on-stage 6 times, I went in fully expecting to hate Wicked, especially after the first trailer underwhelmed me and I heard the 3 hour movie covered only the first half of the entire show

But I know when to admit I was wrong, it absolutely blew me away

Video games are the best form of media. TV-shows or Movies don't connect with you in that way.

You don't get the escape needed or in the same level as a game. Think about how many times video games has helped you out in difficult situations. Nothing beats that feeling 👌

Back when we ran The Critical D, we always tackled #TheGameAwards Predictions as "Will Win, Should Win, Want to Win, And Dark Horse Pick."

Here's mine:

Will Win: Astro Bot

Want to Win: Metaphor Re:Fantazio

Should Win: Astro Bot or Balatro

Dark Horse: Balatro, because it's niche but incredible
