In this episode, we look back at GOTY winners and nominees from the past decade and make our case for which games should've taken home the crown. Was Sekiro really the best video in game in 2019?

In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Thomas and Frank dissect Season 2, Episode 5 of The Last of Us, titled "Feel Her Love." The duo dives into the pacing of the story, the return of airborne spores, Ellie's descent into vengeance, and how the show is adapting key video game moments. They also unpack the evolution of Ellie and Dina's relationship, the brutal tactics of the Seraphites, and how voice actors from the game are being honored in the series. Plus, a look ahead to next week's emotional flashback episode featuring Joel and Ellie in a space museum. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 – Introduction and initial thoughts on the episode 00:23 – Pacing critique and game-to-show comparisons 01:45 – The reintroduction of airborne spores and narrative implications 03:33 – The Rat King foreshadowing and Cordyceps lore 05:16 – The Ellie and Dina relationship discussion 08:22 – Dina's backstory and her role as Ellie's moral compass 11:33 – Comparing Ellie's motives in the show vs. the game 13:29 – Jesse's return and the fallout of Ellie's decisions 15:05 – Smarter infected and horror elements in the show 16:39 – Tension between Ellie and Jesse 17:36 – Chemistry issues between Bella Ramsey and Isabela Merced 19:14 – The brutality of the Seraphites and visual storytelling 21:20 – Hospital confrontation with Nora and narrative choices 23:30 – B2 level and the haunting fungal visuals 25:10 – Ellie's torture tactics and moral decay 26:14 – Voice actor cameos and Naughty Dog's casting continuity 28:09 – Flashbacks and the upcoming museum/space scene 30:14 – Pedro Pascal appreciation and season predictions 32:24 – Final thoughts on the episode and excitement for next week Key Takeaways: The show brings back the airborne spores concept from the game, deepening the threat of infection. Ellie's journey is leaning heavily into vengeance, and it's changing her morally. Dina is given more agency, grounding Ellie emotionally while adding dramatic tension. Jesse's reappearance adds layers to the drama, especially given his relationship with Dina. The infected are getting smarter, adding horror elements not typical in standard zombie shows. Fans of the game will recognize the iconic space museum flashback teased for next episode. Voice actors from the game are given meaningful roles in the show, showcasing their talent beyond voice work. Quotes: “We're seeing Ellie go into the dark side, accepting it because it's the most effective way to get things done.” “It's nice to see Dina not just as a love interest, but as someone Ellie needs to stay grounded.” “Pedro Pascal is the top A-list actor right now—don't come for him, Rowling.” “Voice actors are actors. Period.” Call to Action: If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, leave us a five-star review, and share with your fellow survivors. Use #ChallengeAcceptedPod to join the conversation!

The Nintendo Switch 2 has sent shockwaves through the gaming community with pre-orders finally going live—and what a wild ride it's been! We break down every aspect of this momentous gaming event, from the surprisingly manageable online queues to the lightning-fast sellouts.Unlike the nightmare scenarios of PS5 and graphics card launches past, Nintendo seems to have learned valuable lessons. While still chaotic, the implementation of virtual queuing systems and staggered release windows created what we're calling "five times easier than the PS5 launch and 50 times easier than any 50-series cards launch." We share our personal triumphs in securing our consoles and analyze how each major retailer handled the unprecedented demand.The episode dives deep into what's coming for Switch 2 owners at launch, with particular attention to the impressive technical capabilities being showcased by games like Cyberpunk 2077. Using NVIDIA's DLSS technology, the Switch 2 demonstrates significant horsepower that opens exciting possibilities for third-party support. However, we raise concerns about the growing trend of physical releases containing merely download codes rather than actual game cartridges.While celebrating Nintendo's hardware achievements, we spotlight Clear Obscure: Expedition 33, the surprise hit that's sold 500,000 copies in its first day while maintaining a stellar 92 Metacritic score.

The gaming landscape continues to evolve at breakneck speed, and episode 129 of the Game Junction Podcast captures this momentum perfectly. We kick things off with an impressive showcase of our latest acquisitions - Brandon's Pokemon Platinum find and extensive Pokemon card haul sits alongside Mark's treasure trove of retro and modern gaming gems, including the Atari 7800 Plus and rare Japanese imports.The industry news this week hits particularly hard, starting with EA's sweeping layoffs and the heartbreaking cancellation of the next Titanfall game. We unpack what this means for beloved franchises and the developers who create them. In a surprising turn, we also explore one of the strangest gaming partnerships in recent memory - the collaboration between a popular Japanese horse racing mobile game and the actual Kentucky Derby. These unexpected cultural crossovers highlight gaming's expanding influence beyond traditional boundaries.Nintendo Switch 2 developments take center stage as we analyze the recent firmware update that enabled game sharing functionality - a clear precursor to the upcoming console's capabilities. We also dive deep into the controversy surrounding Ghost of Yotei's preorders, particularly the collector's edition that doesn't include a physical game copy - a growing trend that has physical media enthusiasts concerned.The episode takes a serious turn when we discuss Xbox's shocking price increase announcement.
