Bucket List Gamers

Belated Happy New Year everyone! 🎉🎮

We’re back after an extended festive break with an episode that was actually recorded just before Christmas, taking a deep dive into the results of The Game Awards 2025 and the decisions that got people talking.

And yes, we know… we’re fashionably late, as always 😉⏰

This discussion was originally meant to be added onto the previous episode, but as usual we went on far too long, so it ended up becoming its own standalone entry. 

There’s no specific game from the list this time around, just two middle-aged men enthusiastically breaking down the results, questioning the winners, and venting about choices they really don’t agree with 🎤😤

Settle in, press play, and enjoy! 🍿🎧

Eddie
Having been friends since college, when Jay revealed plans for what would later become BLG, Eddie jumped at the chance to be involved. Eddie has been a gamer for as long as anyone can remember, citing The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask as his favourite of all time.
Host
Jay
Coming from a writing background, having spent over a decade running WWEBlog, Jay decided it was time to go in a different direction. That direction was gaming and thus the Bucket List Gamers (and Bucket List Board Gamers) were born!

What is Bucket List Gamers?

Each show we take a look at one of the '100 Games to play before you die', as well as discussing the latest releases, consoles, successes and scandals in the gaming world.

From Defender to Daytona, Mario to Metroid and Sonic to Street Fighter, if it's in the 100 the BLG team will play it... eventually!
