What's good internet welcome back to Waypoint's end of year video game celebration.

As I've said before for the next couple of weeks we are going to be diving into

some of our favorite games across something like 10 different podcast episodes.

I'm already broken down how it's going to work so I'm not going to go over all of that again,

but I will say there will be a mix of deep dives sort of mini Waypoint 101's about some of our favorite games of

2018 and also little one-on-one interviews between members of the Waypoint staff as we dig deeper into our own

personal list to make sure that none of those small games get missed in the celebration and conversation.

Today we are going to talk about what might be my favorite game of the year.

So my list is still up in the air as the time that we're recording it, but it's it's gonna be number one or number two.

It's really what it's gonna come down to and I think it's gonna be number one.

I'm in a realization today, which is I think all top three of my top three games are mech games.

So it's being my entire self right now.

Wait, these lists are ordered. They can be you don't have to be. We're welcome to Waypoint.

You know, we put away put on the map, go on a journey, you know, but yeah, in necessity

there will sort of always be a formal order because of everyone you put last will be either last or understood to be first, right?

So, right, privacy and and recency, maybe there's no escaping it. We live in linear time whether we want to or not.

We experience things as they happen. Those are the voice of a Ricardo Contrares, Cato.

Thank you for joining us to talk about Battle Deck. Also here, the big bear himself.

What's I don't know what your call sign is, Rob. What is your what is your call sign?

Oh, it's my handle I use for everything, which is flip craft.

Right. Sure. Flip craft doesn't, but it doesn't have the energy that I think.

Yeah, like like my battle, like my battle tack, my mech where your call sign. What is it?
