UPDATE: Congratulations to Tom, the official greatest human being ever!
If you’ve listened to some of our more recent episodes, you may have heard about our holiday season video game fantasy draft. At the beginning of last week’s show, some of our Podcast Nation chums joined us in officially selecting from a pool of upcoming blockbusters. Standings will be based on an algorithm devised by Kaz that takes into account each game’s Metacritic score and the number of reviewers.
The notion may be silly, but the stakes could not be higher. The winner will officially be declared “World’s Best Person,” a title indisputable under any circumstances. Our picks are displayed below, and we’ll be updating from time to time so you can follow the rankings along with ourselves.
Game on!
