There was a Gaf thread on it earlier in the week.
Ah just found it, thanks. Missed it when it was first posted.
wow this is too good for its own good

uBlock Origin must be doing something right then, because I haven't seen a single ad yet on the sites where Data Saver is kicking in.

I'm in freakin tears right now
What about it? Got 5th in the GAF GOTYs, which seems appropriate?!
Jeff mentioned it in his article, too: http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/jeff-on-emulators-speedruns-and-that-video-where-t/1100-5378/

I'm with daydream here, I don't really give a shit about a vote. If you want to know my top ten games of the year, holler at your boy, but I don't really care about my opinion as a part of this website.
There was a big thread about it over at the gaming side some days ago, you may want to check it out. Jeff also mentioned it himself in his latest article on the GB site IIRC.
It really is mind blowing. I have nothing but admiration for the people who figure this stuff out.
I barely understand what I just watched

Feel the exact same way. Couldn't give less of a shit about this site's GOTY.
Good to know!

The hurtboxes in Life is Strange are just terrible. Max is just a poor man's Phoenix.
I wasn't prepared to endure so much math on this lazy Sunday, but this is seriously fascinating. Super Mario 64 means a lot to me and it makes me really happy to see it is still so "studied" almost 20 years later, so to speak.

Dan and Paul talking about A Link to the Past makes me really wish there was a proper new handheld Zelda to play. Maybe it's the time I go back and play Oracle of Ages?
Have you played A Link Between Worlds? It's great!
I was about to say. Wasn't that one really highly thought of?

Yep! Great Zelda game. I think the only ones I haven't finished are Oracle of Ages, Spirit Tracks, and Skyward Sword.
Ah ok, not familiar with that one!
The cake segment had me in stitches.
Only about 1,600 users vote, you're not alone.

Looks like the Witness embargo lifts tomorrow morning. Super curious to read Brad's thoughts on it.

Rip metal gear scanlon.
I'm not sure I can think of a modern GB feature I don't dig. MGSV is probably my least favorite as that game isn't really conducive to what makes that feature great. I would absolutely still tune in for the last couple episodes of that, so I kind of feel like they might as well just finish it.
Outside of that, Choose Our Own Adventure is probably my least favorite. It's fine, but I prefer longer form content with the same game like Playdates, VinnyVania or Project Beast.

How can you be a bigot against milk when the thing they're railing against isn't milk?
Oracle of Ages was my favorite of the Oracle games, though maybe it's a bit shorter than Seasons? All I remember is I got Seasons and my brother got Ages for xmas, and I envied him because I kept thinking how much cooler time-travel was over weather manipulation
for that reason whenever I think of playing them, I feel like the order is Seasons->Ages even though you can do the reverse too. How I wish the third planned Oracle game had been made, I can only imagine what kind of peaceful utopic world .Either way, those 2 are in my top 5 Zelda games of all time for sure (I don't really like 3D Zelda, ALBW was a heaven-sent for me). So good. I've been replaying them on my 3DS starting with Seasons and they really hold up.
Edit: Now that I think about it the Oracle games situation is sort of a precedent for what the new Fire Emblem is doing now. So glad I got the SE preordered.

It's about firewatch.
It's basically Myst right? It kind of has to be Myst.
Man, Jonathan Blow can't stop ripping ideas off other games.
First platformers, and now Firewatch.
Edit: Damn, beaten.

Its not as wild as parallel universes, but the video where he makes a staircase out of goombas is pretty good

Yeah I got Seasons when it came out and loved it, but now I remember absolutely nothing about it. Those are like the most-overlooked Zelda games. Even Minish Cap gets talked about more than them, although they're all good. I think the only game I stopped playing because it wasn't good was Spirit Tracks.

I was almost tempted to play it just so I can shoot some lasers because they look and sound real nice.

It's fun to participate!
...until you open the results thread and see people stopping just short of calling each other stupid. They're actually doing the thing I joked about doing a few days ago. I think they can do a bit better.

They absolutely are the most overlooked Zeldas and it's sad as hell. When taken together, Seasons and Ages might be my favorite 2D Zelda game. They have so many interesting ideas and systems and are generally charming as hell.

Honestly, that's a blessing. Going into games truly blind is a privilege.

good on Austin for trying to make some sense of this stuff but I'm just watching this feeling totally lost.
but laserrrrs
getting yelled at by people who collectively think the 4th best Souls game is GOTY sounds like a blast but I'll pass
well, there's the 2015 extravaganza and the rest of the dan and dad stuff can be found in the best playlist on youtube
I mean, Bloodborne has serious problems, but worse than Dark Souls 2? Ouch.
