The rule mistake happens in the BLLS.
Avalon Unplugged is perfection and all rules are followed.

I think that was BLLSL as well.

It also explains the creepy animu real doll faces and terrible lip sync! Genius!
Seriously, though, I like the idea generally. While it doesn't explain away some of the dumb stuff, it does explain how you're able to move at about 50 km/h and jump for 10m, which, we as players, simply accept without thinking as exaggerated player movement. That there's a lore explanation for that which actually comes as a surprise/twist does give the game some credit.

Oh, that's good to hear!
Why am I not surprised Dan fucked it up.
Dan made an honest error.
Rorie was the Avalon saboteur.
Proof is laid out in this thread;

Drew even posts it in to show his agreement.

Rorie is true chaotic neutral.
That Mario Maker notifications remark by Brad in the latest Bombcast sealed it for me, yeah. He's still a little bitter about what happened.
I'm really interested to see what Brad's GOTY actually is (barring the ineligible stuff like DOTA 2).
Because if not Mario Maker I guess it has to be Metal Gear. But he seemed a bit disillusioned in the MGSV spoilercast with aspects of the way that game played out compared to Jeff and Dan so that's strange.
I guess he might have made an argument for Taken King but man even he might think its way too ambitious to get that as GOTY.

What if Brad only let Mario Maker win if The Taken King was allowed on the list

I don't care about Mario Maker but how can anyone be bitter about Mario Maker as GOTY? Seems like one of the best outcomes possible. I don't really have anything bad to say about that game, it's just not for me. It's a game-ass videogame that's brought a ton of entertainment even for someone not playing it.
"I question how much of a game it is".

I know, but that literally doesn't make any sense. Not only is that "what is a game" discussion incredibly tiresome, Mario Maker is very plainly the MOST game!
This is why I am excited to see what argument is made against Mario Maker if it happens.
The shooting is so good.

If Brad pulls out the "but how much of a game is it?!" bullshit I bet he'll get shouted down by Dan, Jeff and Austin pretty quickly.
I think the reaction he got on the Bombcast would make him hesitant to try that tact again.
But what other argument can you make against that game? That the search filters aren't 100%?
There is definitely a genuine argument for how much of a game is it out of the box, for the simple reason (as Jeff himself has mentioned) that the average person won't share GB's high-profile experience and likely won't get to see people playing their own levels. No shouting down needed.
I look forward to any existential argument over what GOTY means and is it simply what they enjoyed the most (so other experiences are irrelevant, therefore SMM win) or is it the most recommendable game that year (shaky ground for SMM). If Brad goes that route, Mass Effect 3 could come back to haunt him.

How does that make it less of a game? It's still a *jerkoff motion* argument.

"I question how much of a game it is" when talking about the 2D Mario platformer that has more playable levels in it than any other Mario game in history does not deserve consideration.
Other arguments against it are certainly possible, especially when considering it as GOTY, but surely, "how much of a game it is" can not be among them.

I have already prepared multiple angry tweets and tumbles (?) that will go out after GotY hits. That'll teach them.
are you using a single hashtag or a new one for each tumble?

This is random, but I google searched, Small business man Secret hitler to show a friend, and today google opinion rewards asked me if I was a small business owner. Made me laugh
I'd almost be willing to bet that Brad's personal number 1 is The Taken King.
I'm 100 percent positive it will make his personal list, and I can't think of another game that captured his attention this year the same way. It basically subsumed Dota.
Also, I realized I'm probably moving pretty damn slow in Fallout. I'm at just over 70 hours and
the only person from the Institute I've met is Kellog, and I happily blew his head off.
Meanwhile, I feel weirdly compelled to keep setting MILAs up everywhere, just to see if there's an end to that quest chain. They're all uniquely named (well... moreso than Cleansing the Commonwealth or the other one the BoS scribe gives you).
someone asked me an armour-piercing question and i realised i wasn't actually enjoying fallout 4 at all, had zero hope there was any enjoyment on the horizon, so why the fuck was i even playing it so i stopped
i hope this isn't the start to some dark path of not enjoying videogames at all

The only other thing I could think of is MGSV.
I used to be envious of their Mario Maker experience until I realized how easy it is to watch people play your levels. You can go from uploading a level to watching multiple people play it live within an hour by submitting it to any streamers who are accepting viewer levels at the time. During North American evenings there are usually at least several dozen Twitch streamers who play viewer levels. It's as easy as typing the level code into a submission form or via chat command.
I've only uploaded a couple levels myself but creating and then watching people play them is the most fun and unique experience I've had in gaming all year. For people who have been really active submitting new levels to streamers, it must be an incredibly satisfying gameplay loop.
It's a shame the Wii U doesn't have Twitch integration because it would've massively benefited Mario Maker.

Buy guilty gear xrd on steam and start loving video games again.
Mass Effect 3 on PC does not have controller support. Does Origin offer refunds?
How about "how the bomb is ticking"?
i almost always end up playing fighting games against the cpu only :T
That happened to me with Skyrim, and that's why I am much more critical of games wasting my time now.

You can add gamepad support. I haven't used it myself, but supposedly it's fully-integrated "native" support.

Still working on some hashtags. So far I have:
#Bitchershatewitchers

#Actuallyitsaboutwitchersingamejournalism
#Witcheristhebestgameeveryoustupidfuckinghacks

But I'm still refining them.

Man, I used to do that, but once I started playing against humans I can't go back.
Holy crap though. I am so glad I upgraded my PC in time for this.
Eh, still, I seriously doubt fallout 4 will be some breaking point for you. Just reevaluate what you love about gaming and then take a break if you need to. I've taken major breaks from the things I love and then came back when I felt like it.

Sentient is such a bizarre thing. There's not really any other video game like it, and probably for good reason.
