It's that time of year! All your favorite gaming outlets, content creators and friends are all screaming about the games they played and which one was their favorite. But what does it all mean?

So instead of jumping into the overcrowded pool of typical GOTY content, I've gathered some of the best creators out there to sit down and try to navigate this awards season and to help you find some solace that your favorite games lost to DLC!

If you thought commercialism within the gaming market died in the 80's, you're terribly mistaken.

The 90's were a wild time. Video games were becoming adolescents, a new competitor hit the market, Nintendo was no longer King and 3D gaming was the wave of the future. Video games were no longer bound to a flat plane of existence, there's no way we would ever go back to that! Wait, no, that's wrong. This is the type of thinking that did Punky Skunk in. If it wasn't bad enough that it was another mascot platformer, it also came out at the wrong time. But can it bust out from those 1998 restraints placed on it? Does it hold up today??
