I think Diablo 3 could go in there too. The game is so much more enjoyable now than even the expansion's launch.

Yeah, pick "Quick Look" from the header, and then on the list of quick looks, on the top is Random Video.
If you have people you want/dont want in it picked it should pull from that pool as well

I am happy Just Cause 3 is exactly what it is.
I am a bit worried it get repetitive just like 2 but I wasn't planning on buying it day 1 anyway. It seems like the posterboy steam sale game.
Also played some Destiny today. First time since they added Nolan Northbot. I do not like the new voice. Its a bit too goofy. Dinklebot had a decent mix of wise and goofy that I felt fit better. Maybe its better in the new content with a newer (hopefully better) script?

Just Cause 3 is the absolute epitome of "pick up at 50% off next winter"

The way I see it, it looks incredibly fun to play. Story...I don't think people play JC for the story, but damn it looks like a blast. I wonder how the PS4 version will hold up...
..and I think Vinny said he was flying to SF tomorrow, so I expect a long podcast with everyone on.
Oh gosh, everyones gonna be in the new studio. How surreal. Think we'll get videos?

Hopefully with Vinny in the SF office they can reunite the Giant Bomb Sports Team to cover the latest and greatest

I think ep. 4 is even better.

I got ep 4 spoiled for me a little bit, so take this with a grain of salt, but (LIS ep 4 SPOILERS)
I feel like ep 4 is a twist just for a twist's sake. Granted, they do drop some hints throughout the game, but the switch to Jefferson as the villain means there were a lot of red herrings that I would have rather had be the real deal. Like Nathan's dad talking about fulfilling their family's destiny and shit. I would have really liked to see that explored as some True Detective style cult stuff, but it seems like it was just there to mislead us.
The end of ep 3, though, that's a real jaw dropper.

Best Moment of 2015 for all the wrong reasons. Doesn't get any more hella than that.

Oh man, it just occured to me: no one has completed LiS yet and they're doing GotY deliberations this week, right?
Unforgiveable.

Oh God, I don't want to see Dan with shaved face and shaved head.
I just finished watching the latest GB east LiS episode and they mention at the end that they're planning on possibly doing one big stream to finish the game before the end of the year
Last year's all hands podcast was 3:31 (premium). I have high hopes this year will run the same.

I haven't seen any of GB's LiS videos, but it took me ~14 hours to finish. So I'm gonna wish them godspeed.
Also, dunno if I was just moseying around in a daze or what, but that's the longest episodic adventure game I've played. It went the complete opposite direction of TellTale's "every episode gets even more brief and low budget" problem.

To be fair they could have cut down a significant portion of 5.

Don't think they will, not only is Jeff a judge but it happens late at night and they consider it Geoffs thing. That, and it tends to be a huge advertisement for 'world exclusives'

There is no bombcast this week because they are all playing through Witcher 3 for goty talk right?

That was the plan, but apparently Brad has a Warpriest checkpoint and they're just gonna run another Destiny raid.
Episode 4 is pretty much twice as long as 5, but generally, yeah. It mostly got more extensive as it went along.

Game Awards is on too late to be talked about on both the upcoming Bombcast and Beastcast. Unless Studio Nuevo is fixed up in time for a UPF style show, I don't think there is going to be much chat about those contents until Bombcast Dec 8th.
Darkwatch is criminally underrated. That was a fun game.
Not shedding tears for The Order though. I played it pre-release and thought it was the most boring unimaginative thing. I was seriously shocked this was a game design in 2015.
It's honestly a shame that such a brilliant time travel story, has no chance to win their GOTY Best Story award, even though it deserves to easily.
I'm talking about Steins;Gate.
Completely agree in both regards.
Except I'm not that shocked that The Order came out this year, but rather that it was so cynically designed in this day and age.

That's a 2014 game.
Finished Tales from the Borderlands Episode 1 today and just booted up Episode 2. Holy shit the late titlecards in this game. It's all so good.
I also state once again that Gearbox needs to get this team on board to write the next Borderlands. They clearly understand what makes the universe cool and how to wring the best humor out of it. It's nice to see the comedy be more than just 5 year old internet memes and 'I dunno, throw Claptrap in there'. It's super clever in a way I didn't expect.

I dunno, Tales seems to have super authored humour which doesn't work with the ball of chaos the player is in Borderlands.
I think you could get these guys to do the main quest line and to set the tone for the world and humor and then let other writers broaden it out from there. Would be a perfect way to recover from the mess that is Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel.

Anything would be better than the writing in BL2 and Presequel.
Thank god Ant Burch isn't on it anymore.

Jeff showed on his Facebook stream that they have set up a podcast table for GOTY in the old studio. Very likely they'll record the next Bombcast there as well.
Borderlands 2 single-handedly destroyed all love I had for that world. What little I saw of the Pre-sequel seemed even worse. It took majorly positive reviews to get me to even look at TftB, but I'm glad I did.
I cannot think of writing in any other game that disappointed me more than BL2. There are more poorly written games, but BL2 failed to meet my expectations more than any other game.

I hope they just have videos of shooting the shit and putting together the studio.
It was maximum cringe throughout all of it. Which sucks cause the gameplay loop was great.
I really enjoyed Borderlands 2 in spite of the writing. You're right, even for me there were moments where I felt bad I was having fun with the game because the writing/humor was terrible.
It makes TftB so god damn good as a result for me. Still surprised just how much it did right. I really really really hope Gearbox takes a hard look at it for the sequel. It put me in the mood for the next proper Borderlands. Any shroud of quality in characters from the Telltale series with the gameplay of Borderlands would be just fantastic.

Absolutely.
I've heard people all over the scope ask for recommendations (not a fan of either, only a fan of teltale or borderlands) and they've all enjoyed it.

If Borderlands 3 has a Tales From the Borderlands connection I don't know that I'll be able to resist buying it.
Without question. It's TellTale's best game.
