really surprised how the local multiplayer category turned out. MK8 or Smash would be the obvious choices. (probably smash deserves it for 8 player support)

For the Day Two podcast, what time should I jump to to avoid any story spoilers and get to Best Music or whatever the second category is?

Jeff has acknowledged on numerous occasions that the gunplay in Destiny is great but the game surrounding it is pure garbage. Even Brad has agreed with him on this point and will be enough to see it not make the top 10
30:21 - 32:35 (non-Premium version) according to a post on the previous page (haven't checked myself, but I assume it's correct!).
Maybe it's the TWENTY FIVE HOURS OF DESTINY CONTENT on Giant Bomb that's clouding my mind, but I have assumed it would be in their top ten since the game was out. I can't really picture them leaving it off entirely when somebody so clearly has it as his top game of the year.
But the game is bad tho.
He's just tired of the classic Nintendo franchises, for the most part. Notice how hyped he was for Splatoon in that segment.
It's Brads number 1 2014 game, and he managed it sneak it away from winning most disappointing despite Jeff's massive rant. The year wasn't so good that a top 10 spot is really tight, I definitely think it will be there.
What else is going to be in the top 10, Nintendo games???
Good games?
No its dota 2 because bread stinks.

I am absolutely not at all hard pressed to think of 10 better games than Destiny.

It was his #2 game....but anyway, yes there will be Nintendo games there and a couple at that.
Just from their discussions so far and the top 10's revealed, I think the top 10 will be made up from these games
Bayonetta 2
Shadow of Mordor
Wolfenstein
Shovel Knight
Luftrausers
Smash Bros
South Park
Far Cry 4
Cod: AW
Sunset Overdrive
In the Quick Look it ran like crap with only 2 players.
It's 30 with 3/4 and 60 with 1/2, yeah.

DF says it's a consistent 30 at four-player. I think any capture anomalies might be on their end.
Regarding dota that's why I put 2014
I think Brad can make a reasonable case for Destiny against the games that will be towards the bottom of the list (for example Smash, Luftrausers, Sunset Overdrive, Wolfenstein on that list) that could sway the room. Not saying he's right but not everyone loves those 10, and no one likes the bottom few as much as Brad likes Destiny.

Playing the game at 60 fps and having your roomies wanting to jump in and seeing that downgrade to 30 fps always hurts

Here's my prediction for the final GOTY results:
-Destiny doesn't make it into the top 10 no fucking way, Brad would have to pull some type of Jedi mind trick to make that happen.
-Shadow of Mordor wins GOTY with Bayo 2 a close second.
-Jeff tries to make a case for COD:AW for GOTY but fails.

If Mario Kart ran entirely at 30 fps, this wouldn't be coming up. It's being punished for running at 60 fps in most modes and at the same frame rate as nearly every other modern game some of the time. If Mario Kart 3/4 player "runs like shit," then nearly every game they're championing runs like shit, too.
It runs at 60 with two people, so I find that difficult to believe.

I feel like he already managed that once and nobody noticed
Also I can't be the only one who confuses caviar with calamari all the time

Alex had to follow the (really good) initial segment, and he did a great job with it, you're right.

Yeah wtf, I did not understand this. That's pretty standard, right?

I was hoping for more from Jeff's segment, it was the weakest of the bunch, I didn't really find any of the game pitches to be very funny. I wanted to see hunked out Jeff slingin' mad Surge on the streets to make money to continue to feed his Epic Alberto Del Rio card.
Brad already pulled the mind trick once by convincing everyone that Watch Dogs was most disappointing. The way he so easily turned the tide the second he started to defend Destiny shows what a force he is. Jeff even ended the segment by saying he was sure it was going to be Destiny, but of course that's not what happened.

Watch Dogs had more momentum behind it, which I felt Vinny actually started. I went into the category thinking Destiny was the obvious choice (for Giant Bomb), but I was won over.
Yeah, I have no idea what Alex was on about. Its a little jarring to go from 60 to 30, but to say its "terrible" and "unplayable" is ridiculous.
Holy crap these are awesome. Way better than any rap-rock that's come out of the US.
Thank you for introducing me to J-Hop.
No kidding! I literally spent 3 evenings over Christmas break playing 4-player Mario Kart 8 on a 55" tv and we all had a blast. It ran smooth as silk too, so I have no idea where this nonsense is coming from.
I mean this is Giant Bomb, so Nintendo-created IPs are going to get snubbed.
Day 2 during the Most Disappointing Game discussion.

They'll gladly sing the praises of any 30fps racer out there, but Mario Kart gets dinged for being at 60 in the first place.

fuckin' called it, man
These discussions remind me that I didn't buy anything that came out this year.
And Jeff was totally talking about how people that play smash seriously are weirdos and its meant to be played chaotic.

I totally related with him, though. Something about Smash just doesn't appeal to me in the slightest, and I think the chaotic aspect is part of that. It just feels so incredibly random and pointless. I'm a big Nintendo fan, but I'm totally with Brad and Jeff when it comes to the Smash franchise. Not entertaining in the slightest.
Honestly, I wish I could enjoy it, but it's just not for me.
Not at all. It's absolutely worth buying *only* if you are interested in "those Nintendo games." Jeff is pretty tepid on their modern stuff, so it makes sense that he wouldn't recommend it. This is a man who listed the latest Call of Duty as his best game of the year. That should tell you something about where his tastes lie when it comes to modern games.
