Now we know why brad started a tumblr.
Yeah! We need a one-week podcast series: "The Making of Giant Bomb's GOTY Podcasts".

This only works if Jeff sneaks in Patrick as a surprise guest to vote for Mario Maker in order to break some tie.

oh shit, Nintendo actually uploaded the GCCX Super Mario Maker stream from last week.

not even remotely GB related, but whatever.

This would be amazing. I hope they're doing recorded GOTY skits for GOTY as well.
Remember last year's user vote polls. Haha.
Don't get me wrong, personally I would love it if that conversation would happen. The potential for it being hilarious is very high.

I'll be sure to watch that in 2 years when it gets subbed

Remember that time Brad filiibustered Red Dead Redemption to the top of the GOTY list?
...oh.

Damn Arino's gotten old all of a sudden. I think it's that new wig/perm/extension whatever's going on on his head.

they're actually running somewhat low on unsubbed episodes so new ones are coming out faster now. hopefully they'll do this one soon.
I feel like he's barely aged over the last 15 years or whatever. dude's 43!
haha I like the debate on whether or not it's too egomaniacal to hang pictures of themselves everywhere, knowing how that eventually went

Looking at the S-A website, they're going at a pretty regularly pace, like one new episode a month.
Also, there are some people that just don't change over a long period of time - and then suddenly, BAM, they look old.
just look at this young whippersnapper
compared to old man arino
(the switch to HD broadcasting certainly didn't help :lol)

Oh, it really isnt. Laziness, impulse, and a lack desire to actually play are very profitable fields to farm.

I'll bet a full year of avatar that Destiny won't be (allowed) in the top 10.
I think Halo is a pretty cool guy.
That it will be disqualified, or just that it won't make it?

I think i would've put my avvy down if they didn't just go over during the last UPF playing SMM. They rarely go over and they did so with a GOTY contender. Like some around here said, it very much felt like a victory lap.
MGSV is my personal GOTY but if/when SMM wins out I get it.
Seems like such a long time ago.

Just that it won't be in the top 10. I don't care about the reason (but I'm like 99% sure that it wouldn't be allowed).

The final episode's great (will be shocked if Dunst doesn't get some awards out of this season), but keep in mind that the previous episode was (obviously) the climax.

MICHAEL CERA IS HALO!
Feels like that, huh? Makes the Whiskey offices feel even older and that's not even going into the basement.
You won't get any takers on that bet. Jeff and Alex were pretty clear on Mixlr that Destiny would be DQd, but never bet against Brad etc.
I wish I could, UK is a week behind the US
does that mean you've just watched episode 9? that

Yeah! It took me some time to recognize her (haven't seen her in years), but her performance was so good that sometimes it reminded me of

I wished grandpa's symbols had a more sinister meaning though, maybe to communicate with the saucers
Savvy move. Going after that crucial market who would pay just to not play Destiny.

Well yeah, I'm not gonna bet on something unless I'm sure I'm going to win. I'm not stupid!
I'm so glad you changed your avy to pissed off Jeff.

I'll take that Destiny bet. what's the bet?
My reasoning being that each member usually gets to push one game hard into the top 10 that doesn't deserve to be there (i call it the Syndicate principal) and i feel that Brad wont be able to push Destiny in a much better year than last year, where it snuck in because 2014 was half garbage.
I feel Brad will not be allowed to push TTK due to it being an expansion and will settle on Twomb Raider instead

There isn't any thing investing to bet on since we all know Mario maker is goty.
Yeah it was really something.
Whole season has been really incredible, gonna be sad when it's over.

I think that your original assumption that Brad is somehow hell-bent on getting Taken King into the top 10 is flawed. He liked it, obviously, but he never seemed that blown away by it.

so no videos today?
...or until friday?
...or until friday?
A COOA tomorrow was teased and is very likely. Alex is playing FAST, so might record a QL of that or Devil's Third. I wouldn't be surprised if we see nothing from West between Bombcast and UPF though.
I miss videos like this, now would be a good time for them.
Great comment section, very entertaining.
