OVERVIEW:

We cover all the Canadian announcements and WORLD PREMIERES from The Game Awards 2K22 edition- and boy did Keighley deliver. We then wishlist some contentious DLC for The Long Dark, dish on what we think of Drinkbox's Nobody Saves the World upon completion and Steve's disappointing time with Callisto Protocol- and why he's playing Elden Ring instead (probably why it won GOTY... and the Clinton connection).

EVENTS:

- GAME JAM for the kids at Inn From the Cold (The Inn) in Calgary (Kick-Off Jan 3rd 4-5pm - Wrap-Up Jan 6th 4-5pm) "The purpose of the Inn From the Cold Game Jam is to give vulnerable youth exposure to the world of game development, by creating games based on the collaborative ideas of you, the game developer, and the kids."

- Ubisoft Toronto NEXT submissions open (Deadlines range from Nov '22 - Mar '23) “An annual competition designed to showcase the talent of video game development students in Ontario and to help kickstart their careers in the industry.”
