Guess what time it is…awards season is here! 2017 has come and gone, which means it’s time for our annual awards show based on what was released throughout the year! In this episode we discuss our picks, including the reasoning behind the pick, as well as some runner ups. There are some picks that some might find very controversial, including the Game of the Year. The full list is below.

We split the awards with our featured segment Deadliest Character; In the spirit of last weeks Star Wars: The Last Jedi special, we pit Darth Maul against Kylo Ren to see who would come out on top! Sponsored by: The Courtroom Pod.

Featured Segment

Deadliest Character: Following our Star Wars: The Last Jedi special, we decided that we would love to see a fight between Darth Maul and Kylo Ren. Does Ren’s Lightsaber nubs top Maul’s double bladed lightsaber? Does it matter that Darth Maul died once (or did he…) fighting two Jedi while Kylo still fights on? John and Mark debate and discuss who they’d put their money on. Vote below!
