Episode 100 - Baldur's Gate 3 Wins Game Of The Year 2023

The Game Awards celebrated the technical and artistic achievements of the video game industry on Thursday night, ending with the naming of the role-playing adventure Baldur’s Gate 3 as game of the year. The awards show in Los Angeles also served as one long commercial for upcoming games, including a new look at Jurassic Park, OD (the a new horror title from Hideo Kojima), Rise of the Ronin, and Light No Fire (the new game from No Man's Sky developer Hello Games). We discuss the highs and lows of this year's Game Awards, as well as tally up our prediction winner.

We'll also be talking about how the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer smashed through 60 million YouTube views in 12 hours, how the Legend of Zelda movie director wants it to be "live-action Miyazaki," and how premium watchmaker Anicorn is releasing a set of $800 Mega Drive / Genesis watches.

Finally, we celebrate our 100th episode with a look back at the moments and people who got us here.
