Most people, I think we're touched by the tone, the energy, the story, the themes, Mike themes, grief, deep themes, deep themes.

Don't let me get started.

Don't let Mike get started about the themes.

I think there's something to be said about how much that hit for people.

And I think that's going to get awarded, right?

Like you look at these categories and I think there's something special that expedition 33 does uniquely where it really is in contention for all of these categories.

You know what I mean?

Like best art direction, even though my personal pick is that straining to, I'm not going to sit here and act like expedition 33 is a crazy pick.

No, that's a fucking, of course it's,

yeah no that makes 100% sense best score in music best score in music like sure would I have leaned toward a I loved Hades 2 soundtrack so much right I agree with Tim that Mario Kart World should have been nominated and maybe should have even won but yeah of course clear obscure Expedition 33's music is fucking insane and great and amazing so yeah like that makes sense I go through all the best performance like I actually do agree that Jennifer English deserves this any of the performers in Expedition 33 should get best performance right

And I go through best indie game, my personal pick, Blueprints, right?

Or Hades 2, I probably would have gone over that.

But again...

Can't get mad about expedition.

It's an independent game and it's fucking phenomenal.

Best debut indie.

Yeah.

And so like, I think there's part of me that's like, man, I wish there were more, uh, there was more love to go around as far as like giving awards to other, to other games.

But we know how this stuff works, right?

When you have a game that is the talk of the town, uh, like this, when you have a game that is this popular in this undeniable and ubiquitous across, like, Oh, everybody loves this thing.
