It's time! Where the greatest minds in video games come together to reveal their favourites of 2022. Come hang out with us during the annual 2-episode special, where we discuss our personal favourites, and then violently argue over a general top ten! This week we'll be going through everyone's individual lists, and give our favourite games of the year their spotlight.

Gotta do it, it's on the Reward Board. This week we get into the heart of what all good video game podcasts love: local politics and public transportation! We also get into some more DMZ, and talk a bit on Chained Echoes, Signalis, Factorio, and some more gushing on the Steam Deck.

And it's trying to kill us. This week, Norris explains his newest embarrassing addiction (water enhancers), Matt explains *his* newest embarrassing addiction (Factorio), Jack explains *his* newest embarrassing addiction (DMZ), and Dave's all good! Also some talk on God of War Ragnarok, Signalis, the concept of Forever Games, and a whole host of stuff I'm forgetting as I write this up.   Hey, come chill with us at our discord: bit.ly/hoppedupdiscord Beer of the Week: Quarantine Beers Hosts: Chris Norris, David Beebe, Jack Shirai, Matt Emery Music by David Beebe (@norwegianvowels)

Hail and well met, traveller! Take up the fire with us as we spin you a tale about...roads! And the wardening thereof! For this month's Game of the Month club we're playing Roadwarden, a wonderful narrative text RPG that manages to do a hell of a lot with a little. And for those of you following along at home, our Game of the Month for January is Signalis! It's available on Steam and all major consoles, and is also on Game Pass!

This week we look forward to the year 2023. Surely it can't get any worse, right? Right? We celebrate Matt's completion of Elden Ring by discussing level-scaling, and Jack lets us know Midnight Suns knows her all too well. We also talk about some New Year's resolutions, some games coming out in 2023, and Matt decides to buy a Steam Deck live on the pod.

Who wants to talk about the Game Awards? No one?  This week we try and figure out what exactly Keighley's "deal" is, before talking about God of War Ragnarok, Darktide, Need For Speed Unbound, and Grounded.

We come to you from the shadow realm this week to discus our game of the month: the prequel to Ska: Hellsinger. We talk about our ups and downs with Metal:Hellsinger. We also discuss Powerade flavours, tv criticism, and some other general tom-foolery.

Just, like, so much feet talk in this podcast. Come hang out with the very normal folks as they discuss foot pics, Tunic, Vampire Survivors, foot pics, and Pentiment.

It's us. We're the gamers of the year. This week we talk about one of the year's top cult indie classics, Elden Ring. Afterwards we dig a bit more into Mike and Jack's time with Warzone 2's DMZ mode, and Norris' time with Pentiment. But first we declare holy war on our new enemy, The Incel Gamer. We also go through the nominees laid out this past week from The Game Awards, and try to figure out if we're out of touch or, in fact, the children are the ones who are wrong about video games.

You're on the team, or you're off it. This week the gang is joined by one of our east-coast nemeses, Evan from HUGE!

At least, I'm pretty sure it's not. This week the crew talks about pronouncing things like an old white man, sports fan life, and some video games too. Beer of the Week: Quarantine Beers Hosts: Chris Norris, Steph Fan, Jack Shirai, David Beebe Music by David Beebe (@norwegianvowels)
