    Sorry for the lack of uploads I was getting milk. I spent the last 12 hours editing this to get it out as soon as I could so I hope you enjoy! 🦆
    I also have another channel where I upload regular slop if you're interested www.youtube.com/@DolanDarkest
    Edit: Also apologies for the loud intro/outro music, I was unfortunately copyright claimed for using 4 seconds of a song so I had to replace the audio using the UA-camr Editor

    I don't understand why they make fun of Spiderman for not winning an award, being nominated for multiple awards is just as good, unlike Starfield which was only nominated for one category out of pity.

    This year was so underwelming for gaming that there were only like the same 4 games that were nominated. The world premieres were so underwelming that somehow the biggest surprise of the night was fucking Jordan Peele saying that Hideo Kojima is one of his inspirations.
