On this week's episode, Ben Hanson is joined by Jacob Geller, Kyle Hilliard, Leo Vader, and Janet Garcia to talk about the list of nominees for Game of the Year from The Game Awards. What do you think will win between Resident Evil 4 Remake, Baldur's Gate 3, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Alan Wake 2? Then we talk about the return of Kiryu with Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name and Kyle reviews Super Mario RPG on the Nintendo Switch before Leo talks about why he's enjoying Thirsty Suitors. After that, we're joined by Gita Jackson and Nathan Grayson from the new crowd-funded site Aftermath to answer questions submitted on Patreon by the community and award the iam8bit question of the week!
