Giant Bomb #19 | Patrick Wins 2-1

I think it was a little bit of both, but I do think that the puzzle design should come first. However, I have full faith in Blow to deliver smartly designed puzzles. It takes a certain kind of meticulous to spend 8 years working on a game. The fact that he cut 400 puzzles from the game shows that he has a certain quality bar and that every puzzle in the game has a reason for being there. The hushed excitement that people with review copies have spoken about the game only reassures my confidence.
With the way Giant Bomb's review schedule works, I have to imagine that if Brad is powering through a 20+ hour puzzle game in the span of a week, he's gotta love it. I'm totally expecting a 5/5, unless the ending is incredibly unsatisfying or something.
I've been listening to a few Blow podcasts today, and I think you'll be alright. He seems to be trying to make a world with history that's interesting enough to keep you invested in it, but there seems to be a heavy focus on having it being a rewarding puzzle experience.

Are GB members/gaming personalities worth following on Twitter? I'm not really a fan of social media, but sometimes I feel like I'd be enjoying myself if I was following the crew to see what they're posting.
Alex Navarro has an incredible Twitter.
Jeff's is consistently great.
Everyone else is alright.
Jeff is pretty much all you need.

I have a question about giant bomb memes!
Whats the deal with that picture of a dude holding TNMT models that pops up on Jeffs twitter all the time?

Why aren't you, is the better question.

From what I've gathered it's mostly just the scuzzy expression on that dude's face that's led to it becoming an inside joke between him, Alex, Casey Malone, the G̶o̶o̶c̶h̶ Gucci, and others (pretty sure it all started with the idea that the statues are made of his cum -- no, really).

I don't think you need to make an account but if you have one I don't see why not? I don't have a twitter account but I check their accounts from time to time and there are great and amusing stuff to read. For example, I wondered what Dan thought of REmake but once I checked his twitter I found out he said that he is enjoying it alot.
Anybody on here made their top 10 for 2015? Here's mine. It'll be interesting to see what you guys picked. LIS LE still haven't arrived where I live but I'm expecting it to do so these few days so can't wait to pick that one up and The Witness when it's out.
Watched the last UPF and I enjoyed it. Then again I don't think I was ever down on any episode they did because I'm coming from the point of view of "Let's see what they're going to do now" and not "PLEASE ENTERTAAAIN MEEEE". Comparing GB to what the crew was doing when they were at GS was... lol, no comparison. Can't wait for Dan and Paul Extravaganza, I'm hoping they slide in REmake for abit but we'll see.
There's also a possibility of Drew appearing on ESPN(Anybody who has an account and does Crossfit, be sure to post there.), get ready for commentators doing their work to explain all of Drew's sick skills to us.

I can't figure out my top 10 honestly. I've mostly been playing games that aren't from 2015 and also Japanese imports.
you're right, you're right!

Here's my top 10. Pretty good year really. If I could go back I'd remove Yokai Watch and put Splatoon in, since I started playing it last week and found it's really good, it'd probably place at least above Majora's Mask 3D too. Also, Rocket League might be a bit too low... eh, it's a decent list.

6) Ys 2
7) IA/VT
8) Taiko no tetsujin V

Mine. Pretty dang good year. My only regret, after now watching a friend play it again, is not putting Emily is Away anywhere on it or even in the honourable mentions. Emily is What Cibellacks.

1. splatoon
2. mario maker
3. steamworld heist
4. undertale
5. xenoblade chronicles x
6. crypt of the necrodancer
7. invisible inc.
8. yoshi's wooly world

is what i voted for on the site. stuff like p&d mario edition, little battlers experience or downwell deserves very honourable mentions.
also, here's my indie goty vote (first two games are at odds with the gb list but whatevs. funnily enough, crypt would be at the top if it was eligible)
You guys are my game of the year
Your approach is unexpected, but not unwelcome~

Then you clearly haven't listened to anything Blow has talked about in the past decade. It's always been about the gameplay to Blow.
Very true.
My Goty list would probably be like this...
1. Witcher 3
2 Disgaea 5
3 Tales From the Borderlands
4.
Syndicate
5. Batman AK
6. Just Cause 3
Those are mostly the games I played that came out 2015.
Also time to watch Paul Ryckert's Quick Look Extravaganza 2015 before the new one comes out.

I pretty much never play 10 new games in a year so I don't really make GOTY lists, but if I did, The Witcher 3 and Bloodborne would be #1 and #2.
My opinions are very unique, and very provocative

There hasn't been any real snow here this year.

Yes, this video will fill the gap before Arsenal-Chelsea and NFL quite nicely. Quite nicely.
Go Chelsea, Denver and Arizona.
