The Finger Guns Podcast
The Game Awards 2023 Nominations Chat | Our Dream Grand Theft Auto 6 game | Final Modern Warfare 3 impressions
•
This week on a bumper Finger Guns Podcast the team (Rossko, Kat, Miles and Josh) get into The Game Awards nominations and choose their winners from each category and bemoan the lack of a certain beloved Hogwarts-based video game. There are huge numbers for Baldur's Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2 whilst the indies are probably the toughest call they've been in years. We do our best to try and choose our winners for each. Oh, and then there's the small matter of Rockstar announcing that they're revealing the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 in the first week of December to handle, so we delve into what we'd really like to see from Rockstar's latest behemoth.
In Game of the Week this week we've been primarily getting absurdly bored in Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer, Rossko has been rocking the masses in this years iteration of Let's Sing, Kat has redownloaded Dead By Daylight after deleting it and Miles has checked out Dungeons 4 and the wonderfully titled Super Crazy Rhythm Castle. Say it really quickly four times.
For our recommendations this week Kat is talking velvetisers for hot chocolate, cus why not. Miles concurs. He also recommends Stronghold: Definitive Edition (if you're a NERD) Josh talks the movies he's seen recently, namtely The Killer, Bottoms and Dream Scenario (Nic Cage turns up in everyone's dreams for no reason) while Rossko delved deep into the Robbie Williams documentary on Netflix with surprising results.
