Jeff chose his Toybox invite poorly, I was there, ready to play.

maybe he'll invite you over to play with his cat
I'm going to be mad when this doesn't happen now.
Perfect.
Last week, but he doesn't go in to any detail about his specific contract issue - said more on Twitter.

So it sounds like that wireless Vive thing might be the real deal. They plan a US release next year. Seems totally worth it, especially for a production like Giant Bomb.
That does look promising. That cable dangling from the back of your head during roomscale stuff is definitely another one of those VR issues.

Yep. That cable actually isn't necessary though; it goes to an optional pocket battery that increases capacity. Two hours with the built-in battery, five with the pocket battery.
I look forward to seeing Jeff do that.

but zaph, a year is just a number, so venting about it on social media doesn't fix things the way I see it.
Oh you misunderstood. I meant without using this thing. Being physically tethered to your machine during roomscale kinda sucks.

I'm still bitter over Nate and the rest of the 400 Days crew tbh

If Vive can implement their own equivalent of the Rift's ASW stuff, it may help reduce some of the artificating they're seeing in that if it can keep the video stream more consistent.
Really? Probably the worst year for videogames.
At least for me this year was pretty bad, as far as video games go.
My GOTY list consists of three games and two Overwatch skins.

It's weird how the Witcher series has more continuity between games than TellTale's TWD, a franchise based entirely on consequences.
Oh well. They're still fun rides.
Eesh. If that ends up happening, The December Bump is terrifyingly real.
Sorry, but no. The Year of Strategy cannot possibly be 'worst year.'

2016 was a great year for video games. 2014 was ass, and then 2015 stepped it up and 2016 was great. Doom, Stardew Valley, Inside, Abzu, Titanfall 2, Dishonored 2, UC4, The Witness, Hitman, DS3...it's been a great year imo and that's without VR launching and showing some promise

Ah, yes I totally misunderstood. Built-in battery still worth mentioning I guess!
THE worst year?
Platformers are my favourite genre. It's basically Nintendo or nothing else. 😥
At least there's also Yooka-Layle next year, although I'm not a big fan of N64 platformers.
Oxenfree and the fact that Telltale's Batman actually does something interesting with Vicki Vale means 2016 was fabulous. Seriously kudos to them for actually using Vale for something other than mouthpiece or distressed damsel.
Also a heap of great FPS's is always welcome. Hell even if I didn't love it the fact FFXV finally stumbled out the gate makes this a pretty interesting year.

This has been one the best best years for video games. It's incredible how stacked this year has been.

Shadow of Mordor was goty in 2014.
That is incredible and must have taken forever.
Edit: Just saw the end of mission screen. 5 Hours.

For games this year was great minus Nintendo except Pokemon...I assume. I'm waiting for the Switch version. And maybe that Fire Emblem x SMT game. That might've been last year.

do you only own a vita and only play games there?
I really like Max Payne 3.

Dragon's Dogma's true release was in 2016. There hasn't been a better time to be playing video games.
I'll agree that 2014 was an awful year for video games, perhaps the worst ever, but there is a long list of games more worthy of GoTY than Mordor
God damn it Brad

The vita actually had some really good games this year.
Granted, for most of it you have to be a weab ass kind of guy, but I'm one so it's been a pretty damn good vita year.

This has been a fantastic year for games, so many good games came out this year. Pretty awesome!
The old games are the good games. This year's games were the least old games ever released yet. Therefore, worst year.

Nothing this year is better than undertale so it's still an overall disappointment.

Damn, that's right, I put over 100 hours into DD in January. Never fully clicked with me on 360 but I love me some Dark Arisen, god damn that was good. 2016 was fantastic. Last year was amazing too. There have been a few disappointments, but many more amazing games this year. It's the one thing this dumbass year got right.
