This week on Thumb Cramps, they’re joined by Andrew Levins to celebrate Levcember reaching its peak with “The Big Kahuna” the 2025 Game of the Year Lists. Gamers all over the world will finally have answers to which games are 6 thumbs, which games are 7 thumbs, which games are 9 thumbs and of course which games receive the illustrious 10 thumbs. To make the episode even more special, records are broken and Joel recorded the entire thing with a migraine so can barely form coherent thoughts. Truly an episode for the ages.

It’s nice to finally have a game developed for true gamers.
