What's up everybody, welcome to IGN Gamescoup, I'm your host, Damon Hat.

Joining me this week are Tina Emini, Sam Clayborn, I have joined.

And Justin Davis, scoop.

We've got a great show for this week.

We'll get to talk a little bit more in depth about Elden Ring.

I've been playing it all week long.

I wanted to put a lot of time into it so I could really participate in the conversation.

I've even started two different characters and I've put a lot of time into it and I have

some thoughts.

I'm also going to look at the 1994 Electronic Gaming Monthly Game of the Year Awards.

And there's some really good stuff in there.

But first, after this week, starting next Monday, I'm going on a secret mission for IGN

for two weeks.

And I will be away from my regular duties and I will not be able to host this show.

But thankfully, as she has before, Tina has offered to graciously to host in my stead.

So Tina will be helping sting the next two weeks of episodes of Game Scoop.

Please be excited for that.

And thank you, Tina.

Absolutely.

I'm going to wear a hat and everything.

Oh my gosh.

I'm not actually.
