This was such a supreme bastard banger of a year, you'll be fuming at us for what we actually went with. Honestly still in shock at what Simon went for.

Make sure you head over to @VG_HOF on X and vote in the poll for the 2001 game you want in the Hall of Fame - the poll should be up right... NOW!

Please rate/review the pod on your platform of choice, tell your friends/enemies about it, and send us an email to videogamehof@gmail.com

...that aren't Halo: CE or Half-Life 2, because they're already in the HOF. Or Hades because Alex is still upset that one didn't get in. Same goes for House of the Dead.

Aside from that, enjoy a hell of a lot of hip and happening games beginning with H. That letter was randomly selected back in episode 30, so blame the algorithm or whatever.

Once you're done with the episode, go to @VG_HOF and vote in the poll for the game you want in the Hall of Fame and we shall make it so. Also PLEASE email videogamehof@gmail.com

"Moo." "Baa." "Vote Reform."

That's right, they're all noises that animals make, and that's handy because this episode sees us nominating games where you play as an animal.

Spoilers: Nobody picks a Sonic game. Prepare for a wild ride!

Go vote and tell us your animal game over @VG_HOF, and please send us an email about absolutely any old shit to videogamehof@gmail.com

By jove, here we ruddy well go, pip pip, innit blud, you filthy slag. That's right, this episode we're nominating games specifically developed or published in good ol' Blighty.

This has to be one of the most eclectic nominee groups you'll ever hear out of us, so drink it in like you're throwing limbs in 'Spoons, ya fackin' melt.

Go to @VG_HOF to vote on the one you want in the HOF, rate/review/subscribe on your pod platform, pull your knickers up and get me a cup of tea. Wanker.

Keep your stupid comments in your pocket... along with these handheld games! That's right, we're celebrating the pint-sized perfection that comes from holding a brilliant game in the palm of your hand while you take a monster shit to get away from the family for half an hour at Christmas.

Oh, and Switch games are banned from our selection pool because, c'mon, that's cheatin'. Now you go get your sweet candy arse over to @VG_HOF and vote on the nominated game from this episode you want in the Hall of Fame.

Like/review/rate/tell friends please! Email to videogamehof@gmail.com.

That's right! It's roguelikes! Games that are like Rogue, but not Rogue. Rob only likes one roguelike. Alex likes many roguelikes. Steve likes the one roguelike you know he likes. Simon is also here.

Vote for your favourite nominee over @VG_HOF and the winner will be inducted into the Hall of Fame!

Rate/review. Send us an email to videogamehof@gmail.com

The time has finally come to settle the ultimate argument as the deepest part of VGHOF lore has its moment in the sun. We are both - you and us - going to decide which game with turnips deserves Hall of Fame status. Drink it in, this is momentus.

We also have the emails section ruined again by another potentially certified moon-howler. Why does this always happen to us?

Don't forget to go vote on the poll over @VG_HOF and email us (unless you're a psycho) at videogamehof@gmail.com

It's everyone's favourite episode type - the one where democracy dies! That's right, we're once again going back through the previous batch of episodes since episode 20 to each pick one game that didn't win a listener poll and just lob it straight into the Hall of Fame because it's ours and we can.

Following that, we do a lot of admin where the next nine episodes are all laid out and the categories are set. There are going to be some crackers in the future, lads.

Normally, that would be it, but during this episode it emerged that the legendary Grant Kirkhope had helped Alex and Banjo-Kazooie take control of the 3D platformers poll which eventually garnered over 4000 votes. The anger of the rest of the lads is genuine GOAT podcasting.

Go vote on the topic you want us to pick from next @VG_HOF (gonna be a short one for a quick recording turnaround), email us at videogamehof@gmail.com and apologies for Steve's audio. It shit the bed and randomly turned itself to as quiet as possible, so he broke his brain trying to fix it and it's the best we could do. Won't happen again xx
