I wish I gave up on The Witcher 3. Looking back I only really enjoyed a very small portion of that game.

I haven't heard the Bombcast yet, but is there any indication that GB will look at Sword Coast Legends?
Good gamefeel is all you really need.

I loved it. Witcher 3 sucked me in for a month straight. The ending was great too.
It's up on YouTube.
I think Brad said that the GBeast guys were looking at him. Him and Rorie also both seemed to display a small amount of curiosity in the game

Excellent.
I want to see a cross-coast DMing session. The next opportunity won't be until Divinity: Original Sin 2 releases in 20XX.

No no I mean, I'm saying that the Taken King mayhaps will make the mainlist. It'll be history.

Then DotA 2 would be on the list because Brad's the only one that plays it and it is that incredible. It'll also open the floodgates for all the remasters floating around.
Jeff won't want to set such a horrible precedent.

But that hasn't had a major xpac that change the gameplay and added alot to the base game~

The argument would go: games as a service are updated constantly, and are not specific to any one year, making them eligible for GotY whenever they're good.
i think that's the game austin & vinny used skype for
so probably a cross-office ql

I believe brother. Brad will push for the Taken King to be on the top 10. I guarantee it.

Gotta believe
put our hearts and minds into it
TTK will have 'taken' the love of GB
I think you're right.
They've been extremely strict about keeping to first releases of base games as criteria for eligibility in the past.
As Jason Schreier's article pointed out today, Bungie agrees with you!

The Shoemaker filibuster is still probably strong enough to over power past GOTY precedent AND what the developer of the game thinks.

That shouldn't be surprising, Giantbomb has always been super selective when it comes to RPGs. Bethseda's stuff has been the exception but those games are unique in that its the all you can eat buffet of videogames. You get what you want out of it and its easy to walk away when you've had your fill. I don't mean that in a disparaging way either, I think its a pretty brilliant design that Witcher could have benefited from.
Witcher 3 is a game that once you stop playing, it's nearly impossible to get your momentum back. That's not necessarily a criticism of the game, but it's just the way things go. Given their job is to play everything, it's not surprising that can't get back into it.
Only thing I didn't like was how indignant Dan seemed about losing that momentum. He definitely threw that fault at the game, but that's just Dan being Dan.

Ill take a stab in the dark and say recording / backing up videos is a pain in butt without the video duders and that kept them in late.
Wonder if we will have a Wednesday show tomorrow. Jank streams are the best.
I listened to the latest worldbuilding podcast Austin does for the first time and can't wait to see him GM something. Dude knows his worlds.
He tweeted he was sitting at the office and downloading Guitar Hero about three hours ago so I guess that.
I didn't get the feeling that he was indignant at all. He just seemed dissappointed that the game didn't grab him enough for him to be able to finish it.
Rorie's weirdness is always funny.

Yep and basically saying fuck you to the people who keep saying to finish it even though its no longer clearly grabbing him.
Also i was expecting this to happen and it should be real interesting to see the reactions if it actually doesn't make the list.
I liked the comment Brad made this Bombcast that sometimes even they don't fully understand him.

I like how Rorie says the name of a WWII anime(Grave of the Fireflies) and is ignored, and 3 minutes later Brads going like 'Oh what was the name of that anime?'.

I'm a bit late to this, but Dota 2 usually gets one patch a year that really changes the flow of how matches play out. Its essentially that games yearly revision like Madden, FIFA, etc.
I haven't played it so I could be making false assumptions, but Taken King seems an awful lot like one of WoWs bigger content patches like Fury of the Sunwell, Fall of the Lich King, or Hour of Twilight. Taken King sounds like something that took the idea of an expansion and content patch in traditional MMOs and split the difference by taking the major mechanics changes found in expansions while adding a content patch worth of content. I don't think that really justifies calling it a new release especially when other games have seen equally big additions to their core games, but those aren't usually considered new releases. Just because its marketed as a new game doesn't mean it is.
Turnabout is fair play.
Rorie should do the Crunchyroll ads.
I mean even internally they've all been saying "Destiny is a better game now", "this makes the game easier to recommend", etc.

Man, the life is strange steam is turning into therapy session for Austin and Alex with Vinny the Dad.

There are a few parts of the game that will only exist if played a certain way, and there is one whole gameplay scene that will not exist if something is done a different way.
My analogy has always been that everyone that plays is going to the same destination, but people will hit different bumps on the road
The Delorean DLC is out in Rocket League. It's even better than expected.
Again, I hope they revisit the game.

Now that Tales From the Borderlands is complete, I can safely say it's a classic. I know y'all have been pondering its classic status.
It's tough to get back in, but once you do you're hooked. There's a definite feeling that you're forcing yourself for that first hour, then ten hours pass.

Even with major story issues I have with Witcher 3, I think it will be my GOTY just simply based on the competition not being as rock solid. Though I might end up giving it to Bloodborne.
I'm always a sucker for the underdog game though so I wish there was a Spec Ops or Alpha Protocol of this year for me.

Oh, that's the official upload, thanks.
