What is up everyone?!
Let's get into our topics for the week:
Joe and Alfonso discuss the Game of the Year winner from the 2022 Video Game Awards! They share their reactions to the results, but will they break bread over the winner?
Also there were a ton of 2023 games announced at the event, just in time for Christmas! Joe and Alfonso talk about the ones they are hyped for and the ones they'll throw into the fireplace!

Finally, Nintendo is in hot water as they have put the world of competitive Super Smash Bros on indefinite hold. Joe and Alfonso discuss the fallout of the announcement and what this means for the Smash community!
