I'm watching Jeff's stream from last week and OMG.

"I made a giant snake come.

... I made a giant snake appear."

ROFL

 

[derFeef]

Bakalar is the heart of the beastcast.

Vinny is the lifeblood.

Alex is the spleen.

Nah, more like an ingrown fignernail.
I am sorry, I am usually not that harsh,...

 

[Brashnir]

Alex is hittin' them skins

FYP

 

[Johndoey]

Alex is the organ vital to Giant Bomb's existence.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Bakalar is Twilight Sparkle

Vinny is Applejack

Alex is Fluttershy

 

[Lunar FC]

No vehicle permenance in _dogs 2 is a really dumb thing.

It is up. Another person in this thread had this issue before and had to reset their router before finally being able to access it.

Oh boy. I am in a dorm so I don't have access to the router. Am I boned?

Everything's working fine on my end. Man, TLG looks like my kind of game in spades. QL is great, really looking forward to it.

 

[Diancecht]

All right fixed it thanks everyone.

Butthole of the Year Award

 

[repeater]

Butthole of the Year Award

Finally a category Palmer Luckey has a shot at winning.

Prediction: Uncharted 4 will be this year's unofficial #11, along the lines of Wolfenstein: TNO or Mortal Kombat 9 in years past.

Wait, I wasn't following GB back then, but MK9 didn't make their top 10? REALLY? Was Jeff incapacitated for the entirety of the final podcast or something?

10. Rayman Origins
9. LA Noire
8. Gears of War 3
7. Batman: Arkham City
6. The Witcher 2
5. Dead Space 2
4. Portal 2
3. Bastion
2. Saints Row: The Third
1. The Elders Scrolls V: Skyrim


LA Noire over MK9 hmmmm.
I have no recollection of that happening.

 

[Meguro]

I can't believe they actually considered Saints Row The Third for GotY at one point.
That was probably the moment I felt most out of touch with any of the guys tastes.

 

[demidar]

I'd still put SR3 over fucking Skyrim.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

SR3 should have won. More of the guys loved it over Skyrim.

Brad brute forced Skyrim to the win. So embarrassing to see that piece of shit game at #1 when The Witcher 2 is at #6.

And Dark Souls and Deus Ex Human Revolution not even in the top 10.

Just awful.

I think the reasoning was something about the online being borked at launch or DLC characters fucking everything up. I just remember Jeff saying something about not needing the online to have fun

What a year. Filibuster was amazing(ly cringeworthy).

 

[hamchan]

For Giant Bomb it was clear that more of them loved SR3 than Skyrim. It's a shame they chose to conform with the rest of the gaming media that year.

Nah, if Ryan didn't turn heel sr3 would have gotten it.

 

[Salarians]

1. The Elders Scrolls V: Skyrim

it's still funny

 

[Human Trashcan]

Skyrim deserved it though. SR3 just plays like a crappy shooter. Skyrim's combat isn't the greatest but it has plenty to make up for it. SR3 probably should have taken it for Giant Bomb specifically but I never got why people liked it even a little bit as much as they did. But hey, to each their own.

If Dark Souls was the same year that was obviously the true GOTY though.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

Yes that's maybe the only example I can think of where GB played it safe and went along with the majority. It was so obvious that SR3 was their real GOTY.

Of course, Bethesda did send them that massive statue. We all know Shoemaker's price now.

Skyrim deserved it though.

No. Every game in that top 10 and many which aren't in that top 10 are better than Skyrim.

It's pure gash.

 

[derFeef]

Saints Row 3 was a great game.

 

[Antiwhippy]

So who's going to foot the bill to send them a helmut kruger statue?

 

[Zaph]

Nice to see the new video player keeping it 2016 with a hot winamp skin

Skyrim, like all modern Bethesda RPGS's not called New Vegas, deserves nothing.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

Vinny already has the hair style. We could just send the clothes and make-up.

 

[broncobuster]

Speaking of Naughty Dog, I hope one day they make a buddy cop game. That way, they could deftly blend the humor of Uncharted with the tragic moments of The Last of Us. When I previously pitched this idea, for whatever reason, people also wanted it to be set in space (perhaps due to TLOU's Savage Starlight), but I think a traditional buddy cop setting (Earth) would be just as fine. Personally, I'd rather see Savage Starlight be a Star Wars-esque IP from Naughty Dog.

Naughty Dog can reboot, or just boot, Eight Days for that buddy cop game.

 

[Joeku]

I love SR3 and it should have won GotY, and fuck Skyrim. Goddamn you, Brad.

But somehow seeing it described as "gash" makes me uncomfortable. I'm not sure why.

 

[repeater]

Maybe we can go for the cheaper option and just spraypaint a fire extinguisher gold and send them that?

 

[mnz]

Wohoo Beastcast at Westcoast!
"And joining on the Phone..:" uugggh...

You take that backalar!

 

[demidar]

Pretty sure that's an OHS violation.

Fire extinguishers aren't allowed to look that handsome.

GOTY 2015 Deliberations

Alex: "[...] I'd be arguing for Splatoon for game of the year."
Brad: "You're out of your fucking mind."

We remember, Brad.
We remember.

Dismissing the FRESHEST shooter in years and yet quite possibly pushing for DOzzZzZzOM.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Pretty sure that was jeff.

GOTY Day Five

 

[Antiwhippy]

Alright, I'll check. I distinctly remember that as jeff for whatever reason.

 

[demidar]

Even had the receipts ready.

 

[mnz]

That was a little too quick. We might have to warn Brad

.

One of the wisest Brad statements.

Splatoon is shit.

 

[Maklershed]

Yeah I'll be amazed if they don't choose Doom as their GotY. Hopefully Inside gets a little love in the discussions.

I'm listening to it right now while playing FF XV.

One of the wisest Brad statements.

Splatoon is shit.

How's your job as Dementor going?

 

[Maklershed]

Hahaaaa.

Meaning you didn't like it or they'll have forgotten about it?

 

[derFeef]

Meaning you didn't like it or they'll have forgotten about it?

Forgotten, or at least only Brad played it (to my knowledge). He seemed to like it though.

 

[mnz]

They won't forget about Inside, it's one of the few games most of them have played, I think.

 

[Exterminieren]

If anyone on the team was even slightly decent at the game, Hitman would be a shoe-in for GOTY.

As it is, Jeff is going to call it janky and it's going to miss out.
