2014 is a terrible list but that's mainly on the games themselves, not the guys.

I'm still bitter about TW3 getting absolutely fucked in 2015. Grow Home is alright but come on.

 

[BUNTING1243]

RIP skits :'(

Called it.

I dunno man it's a little weird to stockpile all this content for a week when people complain about content droughts so much. I'm withholding judgement

 

[pizzacat]

remember when games used to be fast as fuck

The road to realism became a thing

Its wasy to justify doom guy running at 90 mph, not so much a battlefield soldier

Games should be fast again

 

[Tagyhag]

Christ, I'm SO excited for next week.

Screw the skits, having the guys hang around together and play great games in Christmas jumpers is all I need to see.

Seriously, I 100% agree.

The skits were great but when we lost Ryan they didn't have the heart and soul that they used to.

Having the guys all meet up and play games together has always been my favorite content.

Yeah, I liked 2014 a lot, but you could tell the best year, 2012, was definitely a Ryan passion project.

Man those were so good.

remember when Invisible Inc got on the GoTY list

It's free for PS plus members this month.

Hello friend do you have a moment to hear the good word of TitanFall 2?

 

[MiniBossBattle]

remember when Invisible Inc got on the GoTY list

Really? Why? It didn't really grab me when I got it on PlayStation plus.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Really? Why? It didn't really grab me when I got it on PlayStation plus.

Austin pushed for it. It was his favorite game of last year.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Really? Why? It didn't really grab me when I got it on PlayStation plus.

Brad Shoemaker - "Uhhhmmmm, just in the interest of whittling down the list, uhhhh Invisible, Inc."

Austin Walker - "I'm going to deliver a very impassioned defense of Invisible, Inc. you can hear that now or you can hear that later."

(2014)
1. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
2. Bayonetta 2
3. Far Cry 4
4. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
5. Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft
6. South Park: The Stick of Truth
7. Jazzpunk
8. Shovel Knight
9. Mario Kart 8
10. Destiny

I still can't believe Brad managed to get Destiny into the Top 10 despite it being a runner-up for their "Biggest Disappointment" award that year. Such is the power of Stonewall Shoemaker's silver tongue. But yeah, despite the fact that most of those games are solid, 2014 was such a mediocre year in general for games.

2012 has Zombi U and Syndicate. What the hell is that list.

That year in particular really felt like each crew member had their own personal favorite game that was different than everyone else's, and so long as they managed to get it somewhere in the top ten they were fine. Patrick fought hard for Fez and ZombiU and Syndicate made it onto the list almost entirely because Jeff loved it. It was a bizarre year.

Wolfenstein: The New Order was robbed of that 10th spot.

 

[Tubobutts]

Austin had the strategy that no one was prepared for which was having a prepared arguement.

 

[Megasoum]

Watching Jeff's stream... I feel like a somewhat pro level microphone like the one he's using should have an option to turn off the big red LED on the side.


Edit: Haha, he actually just addressed that

I'm going to miss Austin on this year's deliberations. Don't know what Waypoint is doing for their GOTY.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Four hours holy crap. I still haven't even watched the last Old Jeff Show.

Yeah me too.

its almost there

just buff default speed by 900 and so on for the other things

 

[pizzacat]

it got on because you know he would have gotten petty with smm

 

[The Right Deal]

I wish someone would have stood up to Austin's weak ass takedown of Bloodborne in 2015.

 

[hamchan]

Blame Dan. He wanted TW3 out of the list so badly.

 

[KillerDark]

Agreed, BB and TW3 both deserved better

 

[funkystudent]

Is there a more Giant Bomb ass Giant Bomb moment then Jeff correcting Dan on Star Trek lore grammar while accidentally firing a still gassed airsoft gun indoors?

https://youtu.be/EJU-p-z-Oag?t=15m2s

 

[Meguro]

None of them liked Bloodborne that much though.
Austins argument worked because no one wanted to defend the game.
Witcher 3 lost because Vinny hadn't played enough of it up to that point.

Still one of the best mailbags... So many great moments

 

[The Right Deal]

I guess I just wish my dads liked what I liked.

 

[jaina]

If I don't get enough presents tomorrow, I'll watch this mailbag and imagine it me.

I wonder what happened to the assault rifle?

Favorite one for sure, wish I had interesting things to send them.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

What was that again? Not as much build variety as DS2?

Who gives a fuck if there are tons of ways to play mediocre content. DS2 is just a buffet of garbage.

 

[funkystudent]

You just know Jeff took that thing for himself.

 

[Tagyhag]

If you were stupidly rich, what would you send the duders?

Off the top of my head I'd send Jeff some of the most rare video games (Nintendo World Championships, Stadium Events, Panzer Dragoon Saga etc.) and a Blitz machine.

I'd have to think more about meaningful gifts for the other guys.

What would he do with 2 Blitz Machine tho?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Didn't they receive an email about a saudi prince fan who wanted to send them each an Nvidia Titan X?

 

[FStop7]

I would send them a dog that poops biscuits and gravy.

Oh wow, a review after almost a year it came out? That's pretty great. Good on Mary. Fuck I should play stardew..

 

[Tagyhag]

This would be the one for home!

 

[Twin Tails]

theyve always been sending them trash

Oh wow, a review after almost a year it came out? That's pretty great. Good on Mary. Fuck I should play stardew..

console versions just came out

 

[Megasoum]

He won a brand new machine at an E3 like 15 years ago that's been sitting in his living room ever since lol

A list of demands because I bought CBS.

Oh I thought the one at the office was his lol.

Hmmm, then I'd get him a Black Knight 2000 table, my personal favorite.

 

[The Right Deal]

Who gives a fuck if there are tons of ways to play mediocre content. DS2 is just a buffet of garbage.

His main complaints were the lack of diversity in the levels and blood-vial farming, both problems disappear pretty quickly into the game IMO.

 

[Hindl]

It's so good. One might even call it one of the top 10 games of the year

Yep

I genuinely forget they received that airsoft assault rifle. I wonder where it is now.

 

[Chuck]

I forgot how absolutely repulsed I was that Divekick made it on a top 10 list.

Guess what,

Spoiler

I was fucking right.

 

[YuriLowell]

I feel like the people who like stardew games are the ones who didn't grow up on a farm.
