Show notes
That's right! Right before 2022 ends, it's our Game of the Year Spectacular! Stephen and Brendon trekked all the way to the great cold state of Pennsylvania to record with AJ in front of the traditional yule log YouTube video and, of course, The Orb. All three present their top ten games of the year, their Games of the Other Year (GOTOY is catching on!), and then decide on the Aether's official top five of the year. As always, you'll be hearing from some guests of the show as well. Thank you ALL for listening, sharing, and generally just being such a wonderful group of fans.
