Editor's note: this week's episode failed to upload individual stems of each recording, which means this final product is a bit rougher than usual. This is John and Streamyard's fault. Jordan did a great job with it.
This week, Niki, Lotus, and John are all here to discuss the Biggest Night in Gaming™ aka The Game Awards. Included in the overall discussion:
- Casey Hudson's Star Wars RPG
- Larian's horrifying trailer for Divinity
- Capcom flubbing Leon Kennedy and Mega Man, somehow
- Control Resonant isn't quite what we want but that's okay
- Star Wars Galactic Racer is the Y2K game our failing economy yearns for
- The Street Fighter movie's vibes are off-the-charts bad
- Gang of Dragon sure does look like a Yakuza
- Ace Combat 8 is also here to remind us that the economy is in great shape
- 4Loop and Highguard are both incredibly DOA games
- Coven of the Chicken Foot is cute, but what else?
- Jon Blow's Order of the Sinking Star is a bunch of other stuff in one kind of confusion package
- Trailers allegedly cost anywhere between $450,000 and $1,000,000 to show at the event
- 19,000 games were released on Steam in 2025 and 49% of them have fewer than 10 reviews
We played:
- Angeline Era
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
- Pokémon Legends: Z-A
As always, we answer your burning HIVE QUESTIONS from our lovely Discord.
