Zero cases of the roro for this crew, who've been furiously playing DOOM Eternal, Animal Crossing, and Persona 5 Royal. Meanwhile, we envision an Olympics upgrade and talk about the Coronasutra. 3 men enter, and, well, 3 also leave.

We can't talk about some things, but Nioh 2, One Punch Man, and FF7 Remake are fair game. Meanwhile, Rhett discovers White Claw is a lie, Fallout 77 sounds promising, and we learn to embrace that Big James Energy.

There’s invariably a passion project or two that make the list out of the blue, and we think that’s a-ok. The catch? We have to agree on the list. COG’s category based awards are decided strictly by votes from the team, b...

The next gen is now, and the F bombs start flying with Mr. Kojima in the audience. Meanwhile, Luigi might be Wayne Newton and Heidegger has that big dad energy. Also covered: f***ing muppets, muppet f***ing, and light speed as a suggestion. Don't worry, she'll totally forgive us.

Paul, James, and Rhett get real with Death Stranding, Jedi: Fallen Order, Pokemon Sword, and more. Meanwhile, taking lunch money from bug catchers is satisfying and we get trolled by Phil Spencer. Also covered: pineapple tall boys.

Death Stranding is a real game, while Luigi sucks and blows at the Lu Gu Hotel and Bliz-thesda can't be reasoned with. Ante up those chips, it's time to party with Rhett, Paul, and James.

Paul, James, Garrett, and Trevor grab their switchblades and come to a consensus list of the 10 best games of 2018. Along the way, there are the usual shenanigans, plus some discussion of what the COGconnected team voted for in some other hotly contested categories.
