#48 Second-Annual 2024 Video Game Mascot Draft

Welcome to the second video game mascot draft! Each of our 4 hosts will pick from a (terrible) list of game mascots to round out their team, in addition to one wild card pick each, to see who has the best shot at winning randomly selected categories. Could Nathan Drake really be a good interior designer? Does Donkey Kong know chess?
