Writing on GamesCast Ep.146 - Armoured Core > Tears of the Kingdom
<p>Your favourite weekly podcast is back! Some of the most anticipated games have come out in the close to four months (!) we've been on break, but instead of getting right to Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom or Resident Evil 4 remake, we make sure to spend a whole bunch of time waxing philosophical about Armoured Core and remembering that Forspoken was a game that actually released. Well, actually it takes us a while to get to games at all—we first have to talk about Jerry Springer and Type O Negative, of course. Also, this podcast is unlistenable. Good to be back. Genuinely, thanks for listening!</p>

The Seventh Annual Writing on GamesCast Game of the Year Bonanza 2022 DAY TWO
<p>This is it. The second and final day of our Game of the Year deliberations. What game was most momentary? Disappointing? Oldest? Most remade and/or remastered and/or re-released and/or updated? Game of the Year-est?! All this and more answered in a measly... almost seven hours, rounding out to twelve hours total across the two days. Phew. Once again, hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it, and a massive thank you to Nico for editing the first day (I edited today's, sorry for the difference in volume between the two days)/doing all the crazy interludes you'll hear—he's the best. Wait, we actually answer some Bitbusters in a timely manner?! It must be Christmas!</p> <p>Hope you are safe and well this holiday season and we'll see you again in 2023. </p> <p><strong>CATEGORIES AWARDED AND TIMESTAMPS</strong></p> <p>10:53 - Best Moment (SPOILER WARNING, PROCEED WITH CAUTION)</p> <p>2:07:05 - Most Disappointing</p> <p>3:13:16 - Best Old Game</p> <p>4:12:26 - Best Remake/Remaster/Re-release/Update</p> <p>5:01:49 - Game of the Year</p>

The Seventh Annual Writing on GamesCast Game of the Year Bonanza 2022 DAY ONE
<p>IT'S HERE. The start of our annual Game of the Year deliberations—twelve hours across two days, deciding between us which were the best and worst games of 2022. Today it's the spookiest, the most musical, the worst, the biggest surprise and, of course, the most strand-type game. Oh, also, there's old Bitbusters to be answered... and new ones to be given out?! Hope you have as much fun listening to this as we did making it. You're the best! </p> <p>(Also, there's some audio issues—Nico's mic got accidentally turned down for the first thirty minutes, then we corrected it. We tried some stuff with Best Music so you could actually hear the music we were discussing but sometimes the music can momentarily drown out discussion due to Discord compression and the like. Sorry about that—we're figuring it out as we go along, even seven years in!)</p> <p><strong>CATEGORIES AWARDED AND TIMESTAMPS</strong></p> <p>20:31 - Content Creator of the Year</p> <p>24:59 - Golden Pumpkin</p> <p>1:09:22 - Best Looking</p> <p>2:17:52 - Best Music</p> <p>3:01:40 - Worst Game</p> <p>4:16:34 - Biggest Surprise</p> <p><br></p> <p>Stay tuned for Day Two!</p>
