We're so excited for this episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. Hopefully you're all turkey'ed out and listening to this while you digest. This week we'll be predicting who we think will be the winners at The Game Awards. We have 19 categories that we're going through. We also predict some reveals that will be "WORLD PREMIERING" at the show. This is a meaty segment so this will be both story time and our Never A Minute segment this week. We also dig into games we're playing and discuss whether the performance issues in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet have tainted our experience. We've both also been playing a ton of God of War. We go through a handful of news and of course answer questions from our wonderful Patreon family. All of this is coming right up! 0:00 - Are you full of pumpkin pie? 12:50 - The Game Awards predictions 59:15 - Games we are playing (Pokemon Scarlet/Violet & God of War Ragnarok) 1:22:24 - News News News 1:29:16 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers Thank you to our Super Stars: Aaron Hash, Ben Eichhorn, MaruMayhem, Eigenverse, Jordan Collett, KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Mr. Rogers, Paul Gale Network, RainTech, Roy Eschke, Simon Barrera, Switchingitup_, Sephazon, TheSharkAmongMen, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft and TurboChargeNerd!

Today we're looking back at the launch of Wii U on its 10 year anniversary. We can't believe it's already been 10 years and we have some complicated feelings about this system since we were working so closely on the launch and the Wii U era was such an interesting/hard time to work at Nintendo. We also talk about games we are playing and we're both super excited to dive into God of War and talk to you about it. We have a beefy news section covering the TGA nominations and of course, we answer questions from our fabulous Patreon subscribers.
