Oh god.
These gamer jokes in the FMV game.
I just want to crawl into my couch and die.

They probably should have brought Brad on board for MGSV.

Having demo'd Metal Gear to a friend in a bar, that's a real fuckin' hard game to play and talk at the same time - I'm pretty pro at it and when I was showing it off I was making a hell of a lot of stupid mistakes.

Gaming while trying to listen to someone is tricky, but having to talk and engage back? Surprisingly difficult.
Funnily enough, if it's a game where you need to get "in the zone", like a racing game, I'm usually better when talking about something unrelated. Maybe it stops you from overthinking?

Bakalar fits in pretty well.
Video started playing in the background when I opened the link and I thought the first read was supposed to be the original.
HBD!

Couldn't be.
Why is he tweeting about late game unlocks and how they improve the game, if he isn't using anything?

I think he's mistaking Dan with jeff saying that he had only used the starting pistol.
Dan was talking about using sleep airstrikes and various other stuff.

Went back and listened to GB GOTY 2014 discussions again in the background and overall it was better than I remember.
The main issue was people arguing against games they hadn't actually played much of/at all. And I can totally see that happening again this year.
He probably did try some stuff, but I definitely also got the impression he largely just powered through that game in short time.

With the amount of people on staff now I think they should change the whole GOTY process. Just have everyone submit a 1-10 list with points, number 1 gets 10 points, number 2 9 etc, and just put together the final list that way. Then on the podcasts they can go through the top 10 and everyone can say their piece without turning it into a goddamn bloodbath and focusing on the positives and not having dumb arguments like "it's a left trigger/right trigger" or whatever the fuck bullshit Brad (and Jeff) comes up with.

But that's not fun.
Especially less fun for us, who listen to this bullshit.
If GB took on that philosophy, yes, it would probably be a lot more pragmatic, but awfully boring too.
Embrace the chaos, this year has the potential to really get under a lot of people's skin.

But I come to giantbomb for the bullshit.
That's exactly my point.

The way that mission played out for Drew is exactly how it played out for me. I ran right to the chopper and that was it.
yeah, same here, i don't know why they were so surprised
that's boring as shit and not why their GoT process is so good.

Ah, I've misread it then.

You just ruined the surprise for this years theme
The whole fun of the GOTY process is the arguments. Your suggestion would make it really boring and more "objective", which is not what I come to the site for.

At that point they might as well not record a podcast and just post the list.
The funny thing is, I wouldn't care AT ALL if they just posted a list. Making this a podcast was a genious idea.
Twins like how Arnold Schwarznegger and Danny DiVito was.
Yep, I listen to it for the stupid drama. In the end these lists are always pretty dumb.
Yeah, I only care about the process. I couldn't care less about any GOTY list from anyone, so the result doesn't matter to me at all.
Someone always does this to compare the lists and point out which games DIDN'T DESERVE TO RANK THAT HIGH!!!

We need more Jason input during MGScanlon, he knows what's up.

Yeah, this is always hilarious. It's so funny to me every year how serious people take those lists. I mean, I talk a lot about their GotY, but I actually really don't care what it's going to be in the end. I just like the speculation.
I think the best parts are them actually discussing the games and their merits. The part where they just try to snipe at each other with poorly thought out arguments to get game A in over game B honestly kind of sucks.
It's like (I assume) wrestling.
Be amused by the spectacle. Don't get overly invested in the result.
The only thing it would have changed last year would have been adding Wolfenstein to the top 10 and removing COD and a few games moving up or down 1 or 2 spots like Destiny going up to 9.
The inherent pragmatism of politics...
Description on EU store says "Premium Edition includes the game and Kombat Pack. Kombat Pack grants early access to 4 upcoming playable characters from Klassic Kombatants to Iconic Guest Characters with a 25% discount." :/
Happy birthday BTW, and #fuckwarnerbros!
