Episode Notes

It’s coming a little later than usual, but it’s finally here! Our countdown of the Top 10 Video Games of 2022, an annual tradition here at the Weekly Stuff Podcast, where Sean and Jonathan both rank their favorite games of the past calendar year. Our #1 for 2022 is probably pretty obvious – we spent several months gushing about it this Spring – but there are lots of surprises along the way, from an extremely obscure fan-made indie game to a wonderfully boring game about power washing to a visual novel that may or may not qualify as a video game at all. A good time is had by all, and before we start the countdown, Jonathan also shares his thoughts on the first 4 episodes of Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne’s Poker Face on Peacock and Fire Emblem Engage on Nintendo Switch. 

Enjoy, and come back next week for our 2023 year-in-preview episode!
