Oh, you thought we were DONE with this season?

Welcome to the inaugural Gourd Boar Annual Excellence Awards! It's time to honour the best (and worst) of the year, as they compete to take out the trophy across a range of totally legit categories.

Put on your best fit, smile for the glambot camera and try not to down too many cocktails before the show begins... It's the Gourdies 2025!

It's time to put a stop to Gossip Georg's nonsense, once and for all. Are there revelations in store, triggered by undisclosed means? Absolutely. Is there one final, cheap enemy type waiting to just mess up all our plans? Of course! Are we going to fight a comedic number of bosses, one after the other? Bet your bottom mira we are!!

And that's it for the show in 2025! Thanks so much for joining us on another season of recapping the Trails series. We'll see you in the new year for some sort of shenanigans, ahead of season three launching in earnest. Keep your ears to the ground, and your eyes to the sky! Looking for trails in it, specifically!!

Gossip Georg here, your one and only source into the scandalous lives of the Liber Ark's elite! Rumour has it there's big things happening in the floating city... one blue-haired freak is defending an ugly airship, while another blue-haired freak is unsuccessfully defending a different airship!

Apparently, there's also some bracing invaders making their way through the blocks of the city... I wonder where they're headed?
