Hey, who put that in there? Paul!

Hello, everybody. Welcome to the multiplayer gaming podcast. We are two dads that love talking about gaming, and we release new episodes every Monday and Thursday. Since today is a Thursday, we are going to be breaking down this week in gaming. But first, we do need some introductions. I am your host, Paul. and then joining me, it's the man who murdered

the winning game of the year. It's Josh. Why, why, why, why you got to do me like that, Paul?

I, you know, it's funny. I, we're going to talk about that here in a little bit.

But I remember, I don't know if I did it on air, but I do know that you and I were talking.

And I said, we were talking about the games in 2021 and the game of the year awards coming up and all that.

And I do remember saying if I had to pick one that I think will win, it's going to be it takes two.

And you kind of went, really? And I went, yeah, I mean, you know, looking at all the games, that's the one that stands out to me.

And then as people do, they went, but Josh, you murdered that game in your deep dive. And I went,

no, right. And then they pulled up, like, the history of it. And it. And sure enough, I did murder it. And that's when I went, well, darn it, man.

Yes. We deep dove it takes to quite a while ago. You were not really a fan. I was kind of wondering if it's maybe like grown in favor over time because I thought

it was fine. I enjoyed it. I liked it. It was short. I was more of the mindset that it wasn't

necessarily worth a full price game. But we have it number 43 out of 62 on our leaderboard. We've got it below things like the cave and

Cuphead and GTFO. So yeah, we were pretty down on it takes two, which ended up winning the whole

thing. I think part of it is timing. Like there are times where we are just super busy and we have to

kind of grind through a game for the show sometimes.

And then there's times where we get to just take our time and kind of play what we want

or a game really grabs us and we can't wait to hop in.
