Today is the dang day. We got another Game Awards which means we got another round of crazy gaming related announcements. Will this year's show topple last year's? Will Nintendo come in hot with a console announcement? Will Christopher Judge talk for more than 10 minutes? We have no idea, but we're excited to talk about the possibilities!

Hey guys, Joseph here, I made an oopsie. I forgot to upload the cooldown last week. So here we are...a week later. Everything we talk about here is out of date, I don't really remember exactly what we talk about, and quite frankly, since we've recorded this the GTA 6 trailer dropped so nothing we talk about here even matters.
Hopefully at least one person enjoys it though. See ya!

Everybody get your cocoa and Christmas trees out because we're official in the winter holidays portion of the year. What that means for us gamers is that it's almost time to argue about how one game is arbitrarily better than the other, which is fun as hell, so have at it.
Before we get in the spirit with you all with a few discussions to close out, some stock to take, and some planning to do as we make sure we're fully prepared to head into the end-of-the-year discussions

This is the rhythm of the night.
WE ARE A PART OF THE RHYTHM NATION!
Man I could go on and on with songs that feature the word rhythm, but I'm not going to because that would be SILLY! We're talking everything rhythm this week with our good friends R and YoonJae. They are our subject matter experts, so allow them to school you fools on what it means to play rhythm games!
(Does the word "rhythm" sound funny to anybody else now? No? Just me? Weird.)

So the topic was originally going to be about game to show adaptations, but then we decided to pivot to Steam Next Fest demos, but then we were so hyped about the Cyberpunk Edgerunners show that we had to pivot back to the main game to show adaptation topic. This is a wild ride of an episode featuring not only lots of anime and live action talk, but also some stories about an Apple Orchard and the band La Dispute as well.

From the AAA level all the way to the indie level, there are so many awesome video game studios! Today we're gathering the best of the best and pitting them against each other to see which ones are truly the CREAM OF THE CROP (in our opinions).

Slow week, so what do we do? Trash talk DC and rant about Kingdom Hearts 3, our favorite show past times. In all seriousness, we have a little fun with this week's episode and do one of those social media-style gaming quizzes. Let us know your own answers in the discord (Link Below).

We don't typically do a pre show for the Monthly Cooldown, but we just had to share our thoughts this time around. I think we're gonna go ahead and drop the whole video game aspect of the podcast and switch full gears into politics. What could possibly go wrong? Anyways, this week we're talking about our impressions on Stray! Tune for another wacky episode!

The time has come! We're making our list and checking twice and now all must be judged under the eyes of the almighty Player Player podcasting crew! That's right folks we're building the ultimate and definitive tier list for the PlayStation 4 first party line up.
Does it matter that we haven't played half of these games? NO! Tune in and have some fun.
