Hello everyone, and Merry Christmas! 🎄

With the big day just around the corner, are you still scrambling to figure out what to buy the gamer in your life? Fear not—we’ve got you covered.

The Bucket List Gamers Gift Guide has arrived! Now, full disclosure: we may have left it slightly late, so getting some of these goodies under the tree in time could be a challenge. But let’s be honest—gamers aren’t just for Christmas. These picks are perfect for birthdays, future celebrations, or just because you fancy treating someone special.

On top of that, we dive into the nominees for the 2025 Video Game Awards. We meant to include our reactions to the winners too (which explains the delayed release), but things got a little out of hand and we ended up talking about the results for over an hour. Oops. That discussion is now officially its own episode—coming your way in the new year!

Sit back, relax, and enjoy 🎧✨

It’s our penultimate episode of the year—with a big Christmas special dropping very soon! We sat down thinking we’d focus on just one game: Genshin Impact.

But as we dug into the whole “Is it an MMO? Is it not an MMO?” debate (turns out we’re not the only ones confused), another title on our list started to fit surprisingly well…

So join us as we ramble, rave, and occasionally derail while chatting about Genshin Impact and—because we love a good tangent—Immortals Fenyx Rising.

Is it pronounced FEE-nix or FEN-iks? Common sense says the former, but you know us… we’re absolutely sticking with the latter.

Enjoy the episode, and keep those eyes peeled—our big Christmas Special is coming very soon! 🎄✨

We know, we missed Halloween... whoops!

It’s more than a few days past now, the candy’s gone stale, and we're sure a lot of you are nursing a full blown Halloween Hangover, just counting down the days until you can unpack the Christmas Decorations!

So what better way to pass the time than to join Jay and Eddie for a deep dive into Hollow Knight, the eerily beautiful indie darling, and its recently released sequel, Silksong?

In this episode, we descend into the depths of Hallownest to talk about what makes Hollow Knight such a masterclass in atmosphere, exploration, brutal gameplay... and the bits that don't.

Between ghostly knights and ever expanding release dates, we also chat about what we’ve been playing lately, from comfort games to new obsessions, and wrap things up with a look at Pokémon ZA.

So grab your favorite leftover candy, light a candle (preferably not near your Switch), and join us for this post-Halloween blend of spooky sounds, gaming chatter, and slightly delayed enthusiasm.

The spirits of Hallownest await. 👻
