he Game Awards 2025: Brutal Truth, Bad Jokes, and Zero Corporate Notes

Описание: The Game Awards 2025 nominees are here, and Jay and I are way too invested. In this megasode, we go category by category—celebrating the hype, calling out the chaos, and making wildly emotional predictions that will absolutely age like milk the moment the winners are announced.

We break down the biggest surprises, the snubs, the “of course that’s nominated” moments, and the categories that genuinely have us torn. Along the way we talk trends, studio reputations, who’s carrying the year, and what this lineup says about where gaming is headed.

Whether you're here for the industry talk, the friendly arguing, or just to scream about your favorite game getting robbed, you're in good company. Grab a drink, settle in, and let’s talk Keighleys.
