Summary
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hello and welcome to episode 150 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast - it's also our last podcast for 2024 wow! Can you believe that 2025 marks the half decade? Time is going so fast. We thought it would be fun to look at the games that have come out in the last five years and get to the top 10 games of the half decade. We're doing it a really fun way where we each get to remove games off of a huge list and we also have a save each in case the other person removes a game that is unacceptable. Also in this episode, we check back on our 2024 predictions. Spoiler, we did not do very well since we were really expecting Switch 2 to be announced and come out this year! We go through some new games we're playing and react to the latest news and wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon subscribers!

| 0:19.0 | I know. |
| 0:20.0 | And you're telling me, we're halfway through the 2020s. |

| 0:24.5 | We surely are time is going. |
| 0:26.9 | Oh, no. |
