The 2012 ’Gestys, Day One

We hail games with that can’t-put-it-down appeal—and that never-put-it-down appeal.

On The Gameological Society, we like to give you things you can’t get anywhere else on the internet. So as we close out the year, I’m proud to present a bunch of white dudes talking about video games they like—WHILE WEARING BOWTIES.

That’s right, as 2012 winds down, a bunch of us Gameological folks got together to film a special year-end edition of The Digest and give out the First Annual ’Gesty Awards. Someday you’ll remember where you were when you watched the first-ever ’Gestys. That is, assuming that you watch them in a memorable place, like on the rim of an active volcano, which we do not recommend.

In today’s installment, we give out the awards for iPhone Game Most Likely To Make You Miss A Subway Stop and Game We’ll Still Be Playing This Time Next Year. And there are also a bunch of even dumber little awards at the end. Please note: If you do not understand the last award, it’s not because there’s something wrong with you; it’s because there’s something wrong with us, by which I mean Steve Heisler. And maybe me.
