Gimmick Awards 2023 – Best Surprise Podcast
Manage episode 399450315 series 1310909
I don't mean to shock anyone, but I, Six, am a bit of a jaded exhausted 30-something. Depending on who you are, you might consider that a redundant descriptor. Regardless, a lot of my experience these days is seeing a game or anime release, and knowing pretty quickly whether or not I will care. And, frankly, usually being right! Not that this is an achievement, a lot of us feel this way. The media landscape is just more predictable than it once was.
This makes surprises all the more meaningful. Sometimes you're ambushed by something cool you've never heard of before. Sometimes you think you know what you're in for, and you are wildly wrong. Whatever the case, we have to cherish the moments our expectations are pleasantly defied. We don't get as many as we used to.
The Nominees Are: Street Fighter 6 The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog Call of the Night Hi-Fi Rush Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo Disgaea 7 F1 23 Lies Of P Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Yggdra Union Wild Hearts Oshi no Ko Suika Game
Here's our write-up for the winners!
Our intro and outro music for the Gimmick Awards 2023 is Ippai by kamatamago, and our art is a commission from @inkopolis on Twitter.
