I could have sworn that at the end of this podcast (#55), at the bit where Jeff B. is reading a ridiculously in-depth email about video cards, Vinny slowly faded "Sail" in as background music and it was fucking hilarious -- but it doesn't seem like it's there anymore, though the email remains. Did they edit it out for copyright reasons or was that a different bit in a different cast?

I just listened to it on pocket casts and it's still there in episode 55. (I've been listening to the entire run again)

It's not in the clip, but at last 5 minutes or so of the cast.

Is austin even going to be in GotY this year?

 

[Aselith]

Is austin even going to be in GotY this year?

Yes, but as a contestant. thetwist.jpeg

 

[Tubobutts]

Yes, but as a contestant. thetwist.jpeg

Austin leAving should win most disappointing.

 

[Salty Catfish]

I just listened to it on pocket casts and it's still there in episode 55. (I've been listening to the entire run again)

Ah, yeah, I just didn't quite go far enough. Still as funny as I remember.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Like Taco Bell and Sbarro!

I met the now-former owner of Sbarro's once. His business card is, I shit you not, a coupon for a free piece of pizza.

 

[Lunar FC]

Sbarro's is good, fuck the haters.

 

[BUNTING1243]

Sbarro's is good, fuck the haters.

It totally is if you're in a mall, airport, or California. But eating it in New York seems like a bad call.

 

[LiK]

Man, firewatch came out this year. I had forgotten about that game

What is Firewatch? No one remembers.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

What is Firewatch? No one remembers.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

 

[Salarians]

What is Firewatch? No one remembers.

I just watched Super Bunnyhop's review the other night, which was a good refresher of how disappointing Firewatch was.

 

[Death Metalist]

Is austin even going to be in GotY this year?

Hopefully with Patrick "VICE Gaming" Klepek.

What is Firewatch? No one remembers.

I enjoyed my time with that game. Not GOTY list material though.

 

[Lunar FC]

It totally is if you're in a mall, airport, or California. But eating it in New York seems like a bad call.

I've never seen one outside of a mall.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Just wanted to say this again.

Matt Rorie is a treasure.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

He's a breath of fresh(dank?) air.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

What does this even mean? I never understood what Palmer meant by it either.

 

[LiK]

Fru looks awesome. I missed Kinect QLs so much.

 

[tonka]

Factorio will be on the list.

I believe in Vinny

 

[Twin Tails]

New metal gear !

 

[Houndi101]

New metal gear !

It's gonna be cheap.. Cheap and bland

Fucking horde mode co-op bullshit fuck this

 

[Death Metalist]

New metal gear !

members of Militaires Sans Frontières not killed in that game’s finale transported through wormholes into an alternate universe, where they’re forced to battle a force of crystalline zombies

Looks like the best one yet!

 

[hamchan]

They sure Operation Raccoon Cityfied the Metal Gear series fast huh?

 

[NumberThree]

New MGScanlon!

 

[NeroAngelo]

likely developed on the Fox Engine which means the gameplay should be solid.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Is austin even going to be in GotY this year?

GotY this year is just going to be an actual knife fight between VICE and Giantbomb

 

[Twin Tails]

New MGScanlon!

 

[robotrock]

likely developed on the Fox Engine which means the gameplay should be solid.

That's not how video games work!

 

[Tubobutts]

Factorio will be on the list.

I believe in Vinny

They already gave Vinny his once per decade goty choice with Kerbal last year.

 

[Death Metalist]

Dan: Drew, have you seen the new MGS?!

Drew: Another one, really? What's it about?

Dan: It's about your recruits going into an alternate universe to fight off crystal zombies!

Drew:

Spoiler

Metal Gear Survive: Federation Force

(STINGER)

 

[NeroAngelo]

That's not how video games work!

Yeah... that came out not quite how I meant it.

What I meant was it most likely is/will be built heavily on the mechanics of MGSV and at the very least the player character should control well.

This is not taking into account enemy behavior or encounter design which are also very important if not more important to the overall quality of the gameplay.

 

[Salarians]

welp

No Man's Sky porn exists

They sure Operation Raccoon Cityfied the Metal Gear series fast huh?

MSF Corps

 

[Antiwhippy]

I.

I can't figure out how NMS porn works.

 

[HappenstanceUK]

Procedurally generated porn!

 

[StopMakingSense]

I.

I can' figure out how NMS porn works.

Yes you can.

 

[Death Metalist]

I.

I can' figure out how NMS porn works.

It's procedurally generated from the love of mathematics and space sex.

 

[Salarians]

I.

I can' figure out how NMS porn works.

well
uh

I guess I'll describe it
(description of a lewd image)

Spoiler

it's a typical alien conversation screen (complete with half translated dialogue) except the alien is gripping his Waluigi and the text...

I think you can figure out the rest

 

[Tubobutts]

Procedurally generated alien dongs.

 

[Peru]

I have zero interest in Overwatch and like Doom but am not super into the genre, so I'll probably zone out when we get to the top 2 on the GOTY list this time. I'm pretty invested in Hitman making a splash though.

 

[strafer]

rorie is adorblablele on the bombcast

 

[mnz]

Giant Bomb GotY 2016 definitive list taken from the future.

1. A first-person shooter.
2. A third-person shooter mix.
3. A multiplayer online battle shooter.
4. You won't find ten games better than this one.
5. A cinematic shooter.
6. A futuristic shooter.
7. A massively singleplayer online shooter.
8. An agriculture simulator. You can shoot things in this, but you generally won't.
9. The game only on here because of Austin's impassioned speech. War crimes gun optional.
10. Whatever game overtakes Dark Souls 3 for this spot.

I think that about wraps it up. Shoot, it's over so soon.

Older post, but...they had like 2.5 shooters on that last GotY list. Where's that shade coming from?

 

[repeater]

Wow, Solid Scanlon has to don his grenade pack once more to FINISH THE FIGHT™!!

 

[kiguel182]

What is Firewatch? No one remembers.

It's still my game of the year so far. Altought I have a lot of stuff to play still.

 

[repeater]

I need Dan to periscope a reaction video for this piece of hot Metal Gear news

 

[Teddified]

Finally a Metal Gear where Drew's stealth skills can excel.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

What does this even mean? I never understood what Palmer meant by it either.

Pepperidge Farm is a good cookie company that got their 1980s slogan meme'd when it was used in a Family Guy joke.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Older post, but...they had like 2.5 shooters on that last GotY list. Where's that shade coming from?

By people trying to look edgy.

 

[Patryn]

By people trying to look edgy.

I suspect a bit of it is people continually surprised and annoyed that Giant Bomb doesn't really do RPGs, despite the fact that they've never really had RPGs as a core focus.

Yeah, Vinny likes them. Yeah, they did an Endurance Run.

But RPGs have never fared well on their GOTY lists.

Of course, I could be totally wrong.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Shooters are like one of my least favorite genres (which you probably won't be able to guess right now) but even if i don't share the fondness for shooters that giantbomb has, i also don't think that they're a very shooter focused site.

I love rpgs too.

 

[NumberThree]

Just look at their GOTY winners:
- GTAIV is a shooter
- Uncharted 2 is a shooter
- Mass Effect 2 is a shooter
- You can shoot with a bow in Skyrim
- Your soldiers shoot aliens in XCOM
- TLOU is a shooter
- You can shoot with a bow in Mordor
- Mario can shoot with the fire flower

 

[Hot Coldman]
