uh seven hundred forty eight thousand three hundred twenty nine beat that yeah there's some people who have beaten the game itself which i have not done which is like when you hit you get so many of the points that you hit like a crash screen but uh that's awesome beating the game crashes it yeah it doesn't crash no it does like a a special screen awesome but um but yeah it's it's i'm up there

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

That's awesome.

That's awesome.

So Civ is other colonization specifically was always my jam. That and Alpha Centauri were my kind of 4X games. Those are out there. Starcraft 2 I mentioned earlier is another game that I've sunk many hours into. I'm trying to think what else. Final Fantasy 14 I've spent a bunch but not that's like more 200 hour range than it is like thousands of hours. I don't know.

I'm trying to think. Destiny 1, definitely many, many hours. Destiny 2, not quite as many, but still up there. I played through all of Persona 5 twice, so that's probably like a solid 150 hours. That's like 1,000 hours. Yeah, yeah. What did you think about Metaphor? Have you played it yet? Phenomenal game. Yeah? That might be my game of the year. Certainly top three.

My games of the year, I still have to figure out my final 10 because I played a lot of good games this year. But like Metaphor is up there, Animal Well, Bellatro, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Astro Bot, which are all Game of the Year candidates. So those kind of align with that. I guess Animal Well isn't. And then there's some smaller games that I really enjoyed. Secrets of Grindia.

Have you heard of that game? No. This is a game. It's kind of like a Zelda-like action RPG. Really love it. It's a really cool game. It was in development for 13 years.

No, no, no, no. It's kind of like it's Super Nintendo style. Like it looks like a Super Nintendo game, but it plays like a Zelda game. And then there's also like skill trees and lots of RPG quests and lots of good stuff. It's called Secrets of Grindia. It's really, really cool. I highly recommend it. A bunch of other games I really enjoyed. What else did I enjoy this year?

I published an article on Bloomberg a couple weeks ago that was like some of the best indie games that I played this year. And there's a lot of cool stuff on there. So I recommend checking that out. As far as Game Awards predictions, I feel like Bellatro is going to take it. But I also wouldn't be shocked if Metaphor took it.

With Rebirth, I don't see Rebirth winning for a few reasons, but one of them is I think it's kind of like giving best picture to the two towers. You don't do that. You wait for Return of the King. You wait for part three of the Final Fantasy VII. And then if that lives up to Rebirth, then that's probably going to take some awards. Yeah, Metaphor, I think, is phenomenal.
