With the recent Nintendo Direct consisting primarily of ports, remakes, and remasters, Thaddeus and Dann speculate the direction Nintendo is taking with the switch five years into its lifespan.

With blistered fingers and bruised egos, Dann and Thaddeus team up to review Sifu (PS5).

It's here again! February 2022 is looking to be a good month for gamers. And with it looking like the year is really kicking off with its game launches, Dann and Thaddeus thought now would be better than ever to share their top games of 2022 and also give out special awards to games that left lasting Impressions over the last year.

Dann and Thaddeus aren't dead, they were just shellshocked after witnessing a catastrophic event unfold: The 2021 Game Awards. Luckily, the Earth-shattering news that Microsoft is making moves to buy Activision to the tune of $68.2 Billion managed to shake them out of their otherwise catatonic state. 

With The Game Awards functioning more and more as a platform to market upcoming games, and games-related media, Thaddeus and Dann dust off their crystal balls to guess what big announcements we will see at the 2021 show. What will we see? Augmented Reality Call of Duty? A Pac-Man Live-action film starring Chris Pratt? Listen to hear their guesses and catch The Game Awards on December 9th to see how right (or wrong) the Hud Boys were! 00:00 - Intro 03:11 - Catching Up: Black Friday shopping, 12:55 - What we’ve been playing: Far Cry 6, Far Cry New Dawn, Death’s Door, Shin Megami Tensei V 43:05 - Main Topic: The Game Awards 2021 predictions 1:15:08 - End Question: What game IP would you like to see adapted into film or TV? 1:26:20 - Outro

It's the end of Nut November once again, and the bitHUD boys have a lot of game talk they need to just let loose.
