Super Hopped-up

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!

Everyone also yells at Norris for never having watched Predator, and the Prometheus Defense Squad logs on.
