So I'm guessing GOTY stuff is hitting in 2 weeks time?

I think the discussions usually go up around the 21st-23rd.

It's later than that, isn't it? I thought it was closer to New Years

 

[Anth0ny]

Those CAWs are fucking incredible. WWE 13 purchase redeemed.

 

[Jamie OD]

I'm going to add those CAWS as soon as possible.

So why did Jeff abandon formspring? Don't recall any changes.

 

[Chuck]

To make it a subscriber feature. Perhaps you've heard of Jar Time?

 

[brianmcdoogle]

He uses his tumblr account instead because it gives him more room to answer questions, I believe. You should follow him on tumblr, because it is a lot like his formspring, but with pictures and more random stuff.

 

[Antiwhippy]

So not really related to GB, but I'm going through SR3 right now, and my feelings on it are pretty meh.

It suffers the same problems in GTA for me in that the city is boring as fuck to actually explore/roam around in, and the shooting, while better than GTA, still isn't actually good.

Plus some of the story stuff feels weird, such as in pimp up, hos down,

Spoiler

why am I suddenly drugged up?

It doesn't show why and I'm pretty sure I didn't skip a cutscene.

 

[Majine]

Wonder if we'll see the "Check yourself before you riggety-wreck yourself" Award for things that needs to take a break before they become the worst trend.

He has a Tumblr now, duder.

I'm pretty sure they've always been posted once a day from 24th to new year's.

I nominate Humble Indie Bundle knock-offs.

 

[Myomoto]

It was pretty fucking great: http://www.giantbomb.com/news/erik-wolpaws-top-10-games-of-2011/3883/

Look at those games. Man's amazing.

7. Sonic Generations


Other than last year’s amazing list of the Top 10 Hottest Female Sonic Characters, it’s been a long dry stretch for this franchise. But, man, Generations is the perfect blend of nostalgia and sensible updates. A great, great gamey game.

That video link, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck man.

The end-of-the-year podcasts are always released between December 25th and 31st, even though they record it around the 12th.

 

[Anatoli Bacharach]

I already miss Brad. Whoever replaces him needs to make sure to ridiculously overpronounce the H in "while", or I will most definitely cancel my subscription.

There's a bunch of stuff going on audio-only during the "load screen" after you get in the van.

New guy's name is Beard Shoenberger.

 

[Lombax]

New guy's name is Beard Shoenberger.

The new guys name is "Brad Shoemaker" he is a perky chap from London, England. You may have heard him on a previous bombcast. "OI! EMAILS!"

 

[SuperSonic1305]

They seem to have an irrational distaste for the vita. Every time it comes up in the podcasts Ryan and brad admit they have barely played it but they speak about it with a dismissive tone. They speak about the wii U and each of them have plenty of reasons about how it disappoints them. It just seems weird that they want to sweep it under the rug whenever it comes up as if it is some worthless machine whose only value is a ps2 port.

 

[jmood88]

2+ hours is too much without any way to skip and choose the interesting parts.

Blasphemy.

Or maybe they haven't really played any games which are exclusive that they liked on it barring Persona 4 Golden?

 

[thekonamicode]

I guess Jeff didn't vote for Walking Dead in the VGAs Game of the Year category considering he hasn't played it!

 

[funkystudent]

Yeah only Ryan does that.

 

[LiK]

looking forward to seeing how everyone's favorite game ends up being second place again this year. :trollface:

There's your answer.

 

[weekend_warrior]

I would listen to the bombcast if they would write a rundown with timestamps. 2+ hours is too much without any way to skip and choose the interesting parts.

First 1/2 hour to hour- what'd you do this week?, inside baseball, off-topic
next hour- games you played!
next half hour- releases
next half hour- emails

 

[HamPster PamPster]

The only timestamp that matters:

January 2011 to June 2011 - The Nintendownload X-Press

 

[ultron87]

The most recent Bombcast marked the start of the sea change that will result in everyone's favorite games canceling each other out and Mass Effect 3 ending up as Game of the Year.

 

[YuriLowell]

Timestamp:

0:00-End- Shutup and listen to bombcast.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I'll try this one more time. I have an extra Steam copy of the Witcher 2 that I bought during the last sale. If there is anyone here with a PC capable of playing it and is also interested in actually playing it, the first person to quote this post with a Giant Bomb meme can have it.

I guess the majority of Gaf members interested in the game probably already own it.

China don't care.

Steam name: justjim89

Edit: In the interest of discretion, I do already have Witcher 2. But I was planning on gifting it to a buddy of mine who's been wanting to check it out.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Oh, you already own it?

I'd rather give it to someone who doesn't.

 

[justjim89]

Makes sense, yeah. Figured I'd add that so as to not be a dick.

Ryan's a narc.

Getting a gaming rig very soon, would love it! Steam Id is my username

 

[Felix Lighter]

I appreciate that. If no one else claims it in the next, lets say 2 hours, it's yours.

It's yours. Add me as a friend and I'll gift it to you:

I only ask that if you claim it, you actually intend on playing at some point.

 

[Anatoli Bacharach]

If Jeff ends up cock blocking TWD for game of the year, we finally get to talk about something other than Ryan's betrayal last year.

 

[Jamie OD]

Just a heads up to those downloading the Giant Bomb crew on WWE 13. The person who made them forgot to copy the clothing for everyone's appearance in entrances and cinematic moments, so if you don't make the copies yourself they'll appear in said scenes only wearing underwear. Not a pleasant sight, let me tell you.

Also they all have the default entrance. I'm going to think what WWE songs and entrance animations are best suitable for everyone.

 

[Dany]

Jeff has no argument against TWD except "ZOMBIES ARE BAD"

Awesome, cheers duder! It'll be the first thing I install on the new rig

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Who will provide the plot twist this year? Best moment of last year.

Edit: Wait, the comments say that's Patrick saying that? No way... that's definitely Vinny right?

No wait, actually maybe it is Patrick, because Vinny starts a sentence beneath it. Man that's freaky how much it sounds like Vinny there.

Sorry, Patrick, for the last year I've given that credit to Vinny, haha.

 

[Curufinwe]

I hope he does. There's been enough circle jerking over that "game" this year.

 

[ultron87]

Jeff has no argument against TWD except "ZOMBIES ARE BAD"

"It is barely a video game."

 

[Felix Lighter]

I can't think of what game Jeff would really be pushing for this year.

 

[Zoibie]

If Jeff ends up cock blocking TWD for game of the year, we finally get to talk about something other than Ryan's betrayal last year.

Would he do that though? I can't think of a game that he really enjoyed this year that he would champion against TWD, other than maybe Syndicate.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

WHAT DID THE NOTE SAY?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

"Westerns are dumb because old guns are worse than new guns."

 

[Hot Coldman]

"It is barely a video game."

Like he said, no argument.

 

[Riposte]

"Westerns are dumb because old guns are worse than new guns."

Jeff should work for a bizarro famitsu that only puts out negative reviews.

(I agree with Jeff btw.)

 

[Felix Lighter]

Awesome, cheers duder! It'll be the first thing I install on the new rig

Sent it. I hope you like it as much as I do.

 

[demidar]

Personally I wouldn't put TWD as GotY. I really liked it, but it was just a nice ride. Also they did the Mass Effect thing where your choices don't really matter, that rustled my jimmies.
