Welcome.
No one even knows why that's impressive. No one even knows. The God of Funny Games Daily for Monday, November 17th, 2025. Of course, I am your host, Tim Gettys, for a jam-packed, star-studded episode of Games Daily. I am here with Blessing Adeoye Jr. Good day, Tim. snow bike mike hi tim greg miller hello tim andy cortez good morning in just a few short minutes the game awards nominees will be revealed they might have leaked i heard they leaked yeah i don't know i didn't see anything but we have not seen that we do not we do not have chat up so we do not know what the official uh nominees are going to be uh we are going to watch the video that jeff keely put out that's crazy that they leaked right yeah that doesn't happen yeah well i don't we're leaking award nominees there's
What are the initial thoughts on the Game Awards nominees?
Does anyone know where and how they leaked? I heard Jeff Keighley sneezed. We did it.
Dropped a piece of paper. We fucking infiltrated. That's what you get, Jeff.
That's so funny. Well, I mean, I'm sure after we watch this, we'll be able to get the information on what happened.
Jason Schreier burned all the bridges.
But the plan for today is Games Daily is going to be a little bit different. We'll start off with the live reaction to the nominees being announced. And then we'll have a big discussion about what we think topic by topic for each of the different categories. What were the snubs? What we're excited about? All of that stuff. Bless? Yes. How are you feeling going into this? Is there anything that you're like, I'm going to be pissed if...
I was thinking about this a lot yesterday. I was going through the different categories and doing my predictions for the categories. And I think overall, I'm excited about all the games of the year, right? Like, there's so much variety in 2025, and I think there's so many excellent games that deserve nominations across various categories. The one... That I stand by. The one particular one. Death Stranding 2 deserves Best Art Direction. At least a nomination. I would even go as far as a win. That game looks incredible. That game has such crazy direction. Yoji Shinkawa is doing his damn thing in that game. So that's what I want to see. Mike?
I like that, Bless. Yeah, people are going to get upset. People are going to be happy, Tim. That's all I really know. Shroud, he might not ever play a single-player game. If our creators isn't nominated, that's what he says. No, on the real, I'm excited to see what the big six are for Game of the Year. Me and Andy had a great discussion on Friday. We even have a pizza bet for what those six nominees will be, so I'm excited to see that. Best audio design is what I'm really looking forward to. Battlefield 6 has been my frontrunner. That thing makes my eardrums bleed every time I play. So, yeah, I can't wait to see what happens here.
Greg Miller. It's time to put up or shut up, game critics. Last year, I said what no one was brave enough to say. Indiana Jones is just not that good of a game. And everybody, oh, I had so much fun for the first four hours. You're an idiot, Greg. And then it's been goddamn fucking crickets about this game since. So here's your chance. Here's your chance, everybody. What do you want to do? If it was so good, I guess it's going to get a lot of nominations this year, isn't it? What do you want to nominate it for? A lot of nominations going to roll on in for this game. It was so good.
It was so good. I don't like this. I don't like this. I don't like you. Because what we need are reminders of what missed the cutoff.
Oh, I see. We need reminders. It's not Andy Cortez with his head of a hair that just keeps getting better.
How does it keep getting better?
