Not a chance. Jeff was never a fan of those games past Asylum and didn't have high expectations going in. I imagine it'll win Hottest Mess or whatever, but not Most Disappointing.

It's not like we don't have Halloween. Just not celebrated on as massive of a scale as america.

Halloween is getting bigger by the year here in the Netherlands. When I was a kid it wasn't even a thing at all. America's cultural dominance is spreading.
Oh it's very real and very dumb.
And like, I imagine high school students in America drink too, but when it's legal for 18 year olds to drink shit goes crazier than normal.
it's pretty crazy how much the japanese young adult scene has taken to halloween. Was just out and about in osaka for the night. Crazy. wall to wall costumes.
Same in Australia; Trick or Treaters are present every year now in Sydney it seems. And there are always Halloween parties.

Well you know, guilt from the war leading to americanisation and all that.
I'm still trying to figure out which game Stonewall Shoemaker will firmly plant his foot down and refuse to budge on this year. He hasn't been subtle about the fact that he's going to have words when it comes to discussing MGSV's faults, so it won't be that. Same for Witcher 3, which he reiterated his problems with on this last week's Bombcast.
Maybe Bloodborne? Maybe? I guess it depends on how much the crew like Fallout 4. Either way, the inevitable Brad vs Jeff face-off that has happened in practically every single GOTY conversation is always worth looking forward to.

yeah except unlike most of the crap we export, halloween is rad
Yup.
Commander Beagle?!?!?!? jeeze.
I've watched his and other Shacktack videos for a few years now without really liking the game all that much. Jeff has mentioned a few time that Teasdale's brother made popular Arma videos (now Xcom) and it was pretty easy to confirm that it was Beagle. They even look alike.
what's a beagle
This page is confusing, I don't like it.
I have no idea what he's saying.

I'm not a super big fan of GBE's current video thing.
Like, I love love love their videos, but why start Phantasmagoria and Life is Strange and not finish them? It's such a tease. Especially as someone who knows what's coming in both, I was really looking forward to seeing where they went with it.

Most of the time, yes. Yet lately, since they finished quite a few, people seem hung up on this idea that they'll finish everything.

They finished Phantasmagoria 1 (one of the best videos on GB), and they randomly stopped Life is Strange after, what, four hours?
I'm happy to keep watching whatever they put out, but I wish they'd be a little more clear about everything, or just bite the bullet and call full game playthroughs "Let's Plays" and everything else Quick Looks. It's kind of hard to filter searches with their current naming setup. Am I missing an obvious tagging thing or something?

it's all part of the greater GB 2015 Audience Disappointment Initiative, which will come to it's thrilling conclusion in the GOTY podcasts

Only east though.
West is prepared to finish the fight till the bitter end.

I think the GotY talk has gotten worse than the new hire talk was at this point

I would like GB to finish LIS on screen, as there seems little chance of them devoting time outside work to it. It is a game that deserves some chatter during GOTY, and having three people who have seen it through to the end would lead to good conversation with the East Coast guys (who have even less chance of playing it) when the time comes.
They can do what they like when it comes to Phantasmagoria, and other older games.

The best way to find content for a specific game on the site is to go to the Game Page of the title you are interested in, and click on the video tab. If the uploader tagged the videos correctly, it makes things easy to find.
Life is Strange for example

Of course, QLCrew is always an option too.
It's just proof that it's been a great year for video games.

It really has, but people never bring up more than the same two or three games, so conversations don't really go anywhere.

I know right. Can't wait for superbeat xonic to be crowned rightful GOTY.
Yeah, agreed there. Not been that much of it the last few days though. I dread reading the word "Witcher" in this thread now.
I can bring up Crusader Kings expansions if that would make you feel better.

TBH that Fallout 4 screenshots thread is more infuriatingly inane and circular than any GOTY conversation this thread has ever had.
Also I'm watching the subway video and this earthquake mission is so good.

So big question time.
Will fallout 4 run on a quad 3.0gHz CPU, a HD6850 and 4gb of ram?
Or might as well wait till I buy a PS4?

it looks like it would run on a vita so the answer is probably "no"
