Happy Mid-September, List-ners! 🎙️🏆Welcome to the second part of the 3rd Annual Bucket List Gamers Awards!In Part Two, we’re continuing to look back across 2025 and handing out even more awards to the games we consider to be the worst, the best, the most surprising and the most... disingenuous. Once again, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who listened throughout 2025, and to everyone who's stuck with us through the ridiculously small offering we've put out so far in 2026! Absolutely massive love to our Patreons too, who have been paying for this for almost a full year now with very little reward. 😂 We love you, and we genuinely couldn't keep doing what we do without you! ❤️We've been focusing a lot on our YouTube and Twitch channels lately, and we'd absolutely love to see you over there too! But fear not... we've already got more podcast episodes recorded and we're going to do our best to pack out the rest of the year for you all! 🎙️We'll be back to the list soon enough, but for now...Enjoy! 🏆🎮 Thanks to our monthly supporters Aaron Skull Stash Kit Wil Son Slope's Game Room doches ZomBev Harry Flynn RicFlair thesweatyllama ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Happy Mid-July, List-ners! 🎙️🏆Welcome to the 3rd Annual Bucket List Gamers Awards!We’re continuing one of our favourite annual traditions, with a couple of brand-new categories joining a whole load of returning favourites. And this year, it’s gotten so big that we’ve had to split the awards into TWO parts! 🎉In Part One, we’re casting our gaze back across 2025 to hand out awards for the games that surprised us most, the hidden gems we think deserved far more attention, and the titles we reckon were just a little bit over-rated... 👀🎮We’re also turning the spotlight on ourselves as we dig into the numbers to find out which podcast episodes and YouTube videos performed the best throughout the year.And trust us...You won’t BELIEVE what our demographic is... 😂📊A huge thank you to everyone who listened throughout 2025, and to those who have waited VERY patiently for us to return. ❤️It’s been a busy old start to the year, with our YouTube and Twitch channels taking a little more of our attention, not to mention everything happening over at Bucket List Board Gamers too!But we’re back, and we’re aiming to be far more consistent from here on out. 🎧🙌We'll be back to the list soon enough, but for now...Enjoy!

The Much Anticipated (and Fashionably Late) Game Awards '25 Results Breakdown!
Belated Happy New Year everyone! 🎉🎮We’re back after an extended festive break with an episode that was actually recorded just before Christmas, taking a deep dive into the results of The Game Awards 2025 and the decisions that got people talking.And yes, we know… we’re fashionably late, as always 😉⏰This discussion was originally meant to be added onto the previous episode, but as usual we went on far too long, so it ended up becoming its own standalone entry. There’s no specific game from the list this time around, just two middle-aged men enthusiastically breaking down the results, questioning the winners, and venting about choices they really don’t agree with 🎤😤Settle in, press play, and enjoy! 🍿🎧 Thanks to our monthly supporters Aaron Skull Stash Kit Wil Son Slope's Game Room doches ZomBev Harry Flynn RicFlair thesweatyllama ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Ooh Boy... We're going to need a Genshin and Tonic After This One!
It’s our penultimate episode of the year—with a big Christmas special dropping very soon! We sat down thinking we’d focus on just one game: Genshin Impact.But as we dug into the whole “Is it an MMO? Is it not an MMO?” debate (turns out we’re not the only ones confused), another title on our list started to fit surprisingly well…So join us as we ramble, rave, and occasionally derail while chatting about Genshin Impact and—because we love a good tangent—Immortals Fenyx Rising.Is it pronounced FEE-nix or FEN-iks? Common sense says the former, but you know us… we’re absolutely sticking with the latter.Enjoy the episode, and keep those eyes peeled—our big Christmas Special is coming very soon! 🎄✨ Thanks to our monthly supporters Aaron Skull Stash Kit Wil Son Slope's Game Room doches ZomBev Harry Flynn RicFlair thesweatyllama ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Halloween Hangover: A Knight to Remember!
We know, we missed Halloween... whoops!It’s more than a few days past now, the candy’s gone stale, and we're sure a lot of you are nursing a full blown Halloween Hangover, just counting down the days until you can unpack the Christmas Decorations! So what better way to pass the time than to join Jay and Eddie for a deep dive into Hollow Knight, the eerily beautiful indie darling, and its recently released sequel, Silksong? In this episode, we descend into the depths of Hallownest to talk about what makes Hollow Knight such a masterclass in atmosphere, exploration, brutal gameplay... and the bits that don't. Between ghostly knights and ever expanding release dates, we also chat about what we’ve been playing lately, from comfort games to new obsessions, and wrap things up with a look at Pokémon ZA. So grab your favorite leftover candy, light a candle (preferably not near your Switch), and join us for this post-Halloween blend of spooky sounds, gaming chatter, and slightly delayed enthusiasm. The spirits of Hallownest await. 👻 Thanks to our monthly supporters Aaron Skull Stash Kit Wil Son Slope's Game Room doches ZomBev Harry Flynn RicFlair thesweatyllama ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
