Nolan North is in P4G?

yeah skyrim winning they way it did last year was some grade A bullshit.
I wonder what 2012's 2011 GOTY will be. I dont think Skyrim or Saints Row really had amazing DLC support so it will probably be something else. I dont think any of the crew really touched the skyrim DLC or steam workshop stuff ether.
Also I wonder what Dave's eastern block GOTY will be.
Spec Ops is a shoe in for the Northie.
Really everything other then the GOTY award is what I am interested in.
Nolan North was in Persona 4 Golden? Who did he voice?

If ME 3 comes anywhere near the number 1 spot, the shit storm will be powerful after the hour long discussion during the Bombcast a couple weeks ago.
Probably ME3.
Maybe he confused Troy Baker's work as Kanji. I mean, they do sound pretty similar.
Patrick dissed the #8 game too, right? So maybe.
I can't find anything with my google-fu, just some speculation on the GB forums and that's it. Nothing official, unless you got his name in the credits.

Baker is basically the new North, dudes in everything
I saw that stuff, too. I dunno, I trust my ear. It sounds like him and I definitely don't get him and Troy confused. They sound pretty distinct to me. It's not uncommon for voice actors to use sliases on different projects, too. Kari Wahlgren has like four.
But I digress.
You can't digress, there's a very real possibility that the Northies is an actual category. We can't award the Northy to an officially non-existent voice actor!
You have a point! It wouldn't win though, even it was officially/actually him. Daisuke has five spoken lines; the cop has two.

Hoping eventually we'll get a "Bakies" category.
This is an incredible idea!
Troy's been getting a lot of work, but it's not really uncommon. He's a good voice actor. Laura Bailey was in a ton of stuff I played this year. When you're good, that happens.
North is different. The guy saturates the market.
I love Troy, he did a great job as Yuri, but he only has like, one voice whereas North has already demonstrated massive range in voice acting.
He definitely can't compete with North, but this year Troy really grew on me. I learned he really does have decent range. Like you can usually tell it's him in whatever you're watching playing, but I like what I've heard of him as Joel in TLOU and he uses basically three different voices for Kanji in Persona 4 depending on the state of the character. It's awesome and he does some subtle stuff only acting nuts will pick up on. He's a great actor.
Next year's stuff I guess.
I really liked Jeff's one specifically from last year. Felt very, very command and conquer.
Wow, he is the lead in TLOU. It's nice that he's getting so much work. First Saint's Row the Third and now this.
Yep! He's the lead in BioShock Infinite, too. That sounds like his normal speaking voice (which I'm totally cool with). 2013 is gonna be his year.

XCOM wins. I'm sure of it.
I mean, you would think it would be the most natural thing, right? There was the whole 2012 brouhaha, Vinny's been going on non-stop about his weird disaster-preparedness and radio stuff, and Jeff has always talked about how being a part of the apocalypse would be rad to him. I guess there always is next year, but it seemed perfect for right now...
Also predicting Far Cry 3 is #2. :O
Whaaaaat?! Christ, he really is everywhere now. Might need the 'Bakies' category soon too.
Oh yeah, I don't think it's necessary yet, but after next year? I wouldn't be surprised to see him propelled to NN status at all.

Oh man oh man oh man, can't wait!
People should be thankful. Saints Row The Third did not deserve GOTY in any way. Now how Portal 2 didn't win, that, is a mystery to me.

Im going to say Journey is going to be higher then what you might think for GB. Somewhere in the top 5.
That or its the mysterious number 8 game.

What makes y'all so sure that it will be a press reset parody? It's too played out and it's too specific even for giant bomb. Either way, we'll find out today!
I intend to run 100 km over the course of the next 7 days while listening to the podcasts. I did something similar last year and it was pretty awesome then, so BRING IT

Walking Dead isn't enough of a game for that to happen. They have and will continue to acknowledge the story is good, it's probably in the top 5; it won't be GOTY.
Yeah, I don't think it will win GotY. I personally enjoyed the hell out of that game, but it was just a nice ride. I'd prefer to give GotY to a more mechanically meaty game, but then again I gave 999 the GotY award (completely blew my mind) as well and that's a visual novel so I am a goddamn hypocrite.
