Just like Drew Scanlon's 2014 Game of the Year.

I`m guessing GB is gonna cover it like last year, talk over the conferences (except for the Nintendo thing, going by Jeff`s Tumblr) and have shows in the afternoon.

Kadokawa games having their own conference is weird. But yeah, the schedule seems more normal than I thought it'd be other than having more conferences on a Sunday.
2 I think, isn`t Dan out too. And yeah, I did catch the snark.

that took me a minute
You got me. And sadly I can't count Rorie as full content staff because he's busy dealing with my tickets.
Sounds like he really wants to write about the game, and pushed through it to have a full understanding.
Yeah, since he actually finished the game I just assumed he was writing a review. Would be really surprising if he didn`t.

He said in the QL he's doing a review. Or, at least, he wants to review it.
The comparisons he made to Crysis 2 make me want to dig it out of my Origin library and finally play it...

It was, but I still think Shadow of Mordor is a great game.

Shadow Of Mordor is really overrated for me. I didn't finish it, I found the combat really monotonous (the mobs were way too big at times) and the Nemesis system was a gimmick that you could see through after 2 hours.
That's before even speaking about the rank rotten story.
I thought all of the Top 5 that year were better.

Yeah, seemed like that to me.
Homefront just looks like a mediocre shooter and the alternate fiction/tone doesn't seem offensive enough that even a "is this racist/inappropriate" take on it would be very interesting either.
Honestly I feel he probably should have just played Hitman instead. I know he must have heard the Idle Thumbs guys raving about it at this point.
Mordor is in the upper half, for me, of these games.
Boo, Drew didn`t let Danny do a Norwegian accent.
I dunno, Homefront looks janky but fine to me. And his complaints about the story not saying anything means absolutely nothing to me. I feel like it might actually be pretty fun after some bug fixes. Or a lot. But still, it's probably gonna be a game I pick up when it hits $20.
I liked it, but by the final battle I was glad it was over and no interest in grinding out all the trophies or buying the DLC.
And yeah, the story was poor.
cool, must have missed that, and well im only half way through this long ass QL while half paying attention ('working')

I know GB doesn't fill this in (I guess) but why is everybody a Senior editor if there is no (Jr.) editor?

Austin.
I think he confirmed on Twitter that a review is forthcoming.
He's news, thats different
That`s pretty common when there`s only experienced editors working at a company. It`s just a title. At some point if there`s not a steady flow of new more inexperienced employees that`s gonna happen.
edit Looking at that list, technically I think only Ryan and Patrick are former employees of GB. The others have been employees of CBSi and Whiskey directly.

Happy Wiggler Wednesday, everybody!
It's so weird having already listened to the Bombcast. My Wednesday morning routine is ruined.

Same here. Nothing better than an old CRT to play 240p games.

So assuming that Doom is so far the favorite for GOTY this year... Looking forward, what could dethrone it as far as GB is concerned? When was the last time Brad and Jeff had similar feelings on their number 1 GOTY? A Brad/Jeff alliance in GOTY deliberations seems deadly...
Let's see how long this Doom love affair lasts before writing it in as the favorite. Brad and Jeff seemed equally excited about The Witness earlier this year, and I don't know that Doom has fully overthrown it just yet.
Also, I don't think Brad and Jeff have ever agreed on the number one pick except for Mordor which was basically consensus
Am I correct that Ninja Gaiden Black is the best available version?
Correct!
alright, then I know where to get my fix after this stream
