That fact that I directed my anger and you (and indirectly Gita) was a bad move though, so sorry about that.

Everyone should be angry at Gita after her GOTY list. I played Love Live because of that list and the next day i had a cold, it's three days later and that cold has developed into a really bad case strep throat.

GITAS GOTY LIST INFECTED ME WITH ANIME BULLSHIT AND NOW IJUSTWANTTODIE@COMCAST.NET

Listen idols are the cure not the problem

Idols warm my cold bitter edgy heart.

fuck idols and idles, heathens

Play the witcher 3 if you want your soul to be cleansed

 

[Antiwhippy]

Would the witcher 3 be better with idle idols?

 

[skLaFarebear]

I just finished Xenoblade Chronicles X. Maybe I should actually start the Witcher 3.

Or maybe I should finally finish season one of Love Live already.

 

[air jordans for dogs]

Just because it's anime doesn't mean you have to consume it like the trash can you are

 

[Antiwhippy]

Please, love live is an insult to trash.

Kerbal: Project B.E.A.S.T - Part 04

Getting to the moon is the easy part. Getting back to Kerbin... that's the trick

 

[Houndi101]

Didn't remember that the difference between Hotline Miami 1 and 2 soundtracks is so drastic, 1 most of the songs are decent with few great ones, meanwhile the second one is just kicking ass the whole 3 and a half hours.

I should probably get back to Xenoblade, I dropped it after I decided that I needed to beat the FF13 trilogy.

I don't like anything about Intern Ben.

Bought Ori and Undertale after Goty podcasts and have to say that Ori is beautiful. It also seems to be one of those metroidvanias where you don't really get lost and stuck for not remembering where are the places you need to use your new abilities to access new areas.

Just have a good day, fam!

Dan is Homer, Jason is Frank Grimes

Holy shit, how have I not thought of this before? That is a great analogy.

I know. I know! Brad was bad this year. I'm also surprised Austin didn't like it more.

I wonder if they fixed those 2(?) spots you couldn't get back to after finishing it. That was crazy infuriating, because everything else was made to be completed 100%.

 

[Xater]

They should just do a Powerbombcast for Wrestle Kingdom 10, because that was a hell of a show.

 

[daveo42]

Listening to last weeks Beastcast after GoTY has been pretty eye opening.

I am pretty sure that is that one of the things that will be addressed with the Definitive Edition that is coming later this year. I immediately stopped playing the game after they announced that because that was driving me crazy too.

Jeff's tumblr answer about "the categories bring structure to the conversation" is also interesting.

 

[repeater]

Jeff's tumblr answer about "the categories bring structure to the conversation" is also interesting.

I think he is absolutely right about that. Also allows for some smaller and less conventional games to get their chance to shine in some of the categories, which would likely drop off the radar completely if it was an unstructured free-for-all about "The best games of 2015".

 

[daveo42]

Jeff's tumblr answer about "the categories bring structure to the conversation" is also interesting.

It makes a ton of sense and gets brought up a lot during the GotY deliberations. Not only where they fell, but how people have felt about these games in different aspects, not just in a "is this the best game" aspect. It is a really smart way of going about it. The smaller size of their teams helps out too, at least echoing Alex's comments on the Gamespot discussions.

 

[RepairmanJack]

People always say Brad has so much power at GOTY time, but his games are getting murdered off the top ten list.

 

[stump sock]

I want to be mad at whoever told Vinny to tilt west but that kind of misinformation only prolongs the series, so...

explanation: if you go in the direction of the planet's rotation (east) you basically get some free lateral movement. or rather, you don't suffer any penalties to fuel consumption trying to counter your default trajectory. going west is the worst-case scenario since it's 180 degrees from the planet's natural rotation

His heart just wasn't in it this year, which is understandable now that he's leaving GB.

 

[Lunar FC]

Zero progress in the first 35 minutes of this Kerbal ep.

 

[strafer]

Will they update the website design this year?

 

[stump sock]

Zero progress in the first 35 minutes of this Kerbal ep.

and that's why you don't take advice from the comments

 

[Patryn]

Back from vacation and taking a look at my current backlog:

Shadowrun: Hong Kong
Pillars of Eternity (need to finish)
Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition
Witcher 3 (yes, I'm going to give it a try)
Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Trails in the Sky FC
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Tales of the Borderlands

So what am I doing? Taking my original XBox I retrieved over the holidays out of mothballs, and replaying KOTOR for the umpteenth time. I have come to conclusion, having played that game now on XBox, iPad (with and without controller) and PC that the XBox is the best feeling version of the game.

I have messed up gaming priorities.

This is my favorite Drew face.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Oh god, it got cut.

Fuck this site.

Guys help I can't stop watching Vinny make tortillas.

 

[repeater]

There, there, take solace in the thought that at least it got a fair hearing, and was given plenty of the praise that it deserves, even though it didn't technically chart in any category.

I mean,

Spoiler

Austin said it was a "... ehh.. pretty good" game,

didn't he?
That's.. uhh.. something, right?

 

[Zeouterlimits]

I just don't understand how everyone in the room gets all excited and passionate when they talk about

Spoiler

the weapons in the game

but then when it comes to the game overall they just say "Meh" and complain about variety. All their differing opinions kind of shows that there is at least some good variety.

 

[strafer]

This is pretty great you guys

I love all my GB merch, but literally every time I wear one of the shirts or get a new one, I have to explain to my family what Giant Bomb is and why I monetarily subscribe to it. The feeling I'm left with combined with the looks on their faces can often feel dangerously close to embarrassment.

I only own one GB shirt and if anyone asks I tell them it is a band and that ends any interest. People understand ugly band tees with obscure band names. One guy nodded and said he had heard of them and they were a cool sound, thus revealing himself as a fake ass try hard.

One day someone will recogise it for what it really is and start a conversation about the site and it will be awkward as fuck.

Having finally finished the P4 ER, I can say...I understood that reference.
