Gimmick Awards 2025 – Best Emergent Moment Podcast

The phrasing on this category was tricky. What is an Emergent Moment? Basically, it's to distinguish from a Narrative Moment- our category tomorrow. Rather than scripted, hand-tailored moments, these are moments that occur, or occurred , naturally as a result of the way things have been set up- either in a game or in the world. The Nominees Are: Baby's First Death Trap ( Android: Netrunner ) Tile Hog ( Aotenjo: Infinite Hands ) Virtua Fighter 5 Grand Finals (Combo Breaker 2025) Your First Monorail-only Delivery ( Death Stranding 2: On the Beach ) Sit Back and Let the Points Roll In ( Demonic Mahjong ) Reading a book ( The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa ) Perfecting a Wave ( The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy ) "I Don't Play This Game." (Combo Breaker 2025) Switch Games Feeling Playable Again (Switch 2) Ten Heads In A Row ( Unfair Flips ) Picross Fever ( Picross ) Accidentally Eracing Yourself ( Shadow of Memories ) Infinite Chaos Control ( Shadow the Hedgehog ) Our intro and outro music for the Gimmick Awards 2024 is Lay back by Kazuki Kaneko , and our art is a commission from GOMA on Bluesky. That's last year's art, we'll have new art for this year soon, so please look forward to that!
