PAX is next week.
No wonder Drew left.

This is clearly a targeted attack on GB by big taco. We must unite.

I never feel guilty about shooting Nazis, but I do understand the pain related to getting shot in the balls. I hope that is an actual pain I never have to personally feel.

Damn, now I want to try takoyaki.

Toco Bell totally Marty Jannetty'd Dan
I found my takoyaki experience to be pretty disappointing.
It tasted just like straight up mayonnaise balls.
Dan is probably why I became a premium member for what that's worth. The beast cast is better than ever right now.
When Vinny muted him, and they kept going at it...so good.

I'm already sweating at the inevitable Horizon vs. Zelda GOTY argument.

Odyssey will be Giant Bomb's GOTY. It's going to be so good that even Brad will talk about something Nintendo-related for more than 2min
I found it to be really good. Nice and hot little gooey balls.
Hoping for dark horse beast crew to parade Yakuza 0 ):
I think that will go to Zelda easily unless Brad is going full Brad. But what about Zelda vs. RDR2?

I resubscribed for the first time in about a year--what videos should I check out?
If mario maker gets an updated port or "sequel" for switch will it win one more year? Probably.

If Red Dead comes out this year (and Destiny 2 if it finally delivers), GOTY deliberations will be a bloodbath.
Yakuza 0
This is the Run
Basically anything from GBEast.
Also Game Tapes
RDR2 isn't coming out this year. Zelda will more than likely end up being in the top 3 along with Destiny. Horizon in the top 5. Mario at number 1 unless something better comes along this year.

Looks like this week's UPF is non-premium, I guess for the sake of Drew's final live show 
Demo Derby shows you've missed.

I was watching some SMW speed running and I was kind of shocked at the amount of things they could still add to Mario maker. Not even bringing in the possibility of 2.

I wonder if UPF will function as their "Switch launch stream".

All these Switch threads has me wondering if sections of the Nintendo fanbase as crazy and unhinged as the Saturn / Dreamcast era Sega fanbase was?

They said it'd be a separate thing at the end of the podcast.

Last year's made me realize conflict makes for more interesting conversations. They were all too agreeable. Hope the new hires carry the fire.

I agree. To me, the best part of deliberations last year was when Jeff argued against Doom as GOTY.

Whoever the new hire ends up being I hope that they are cut from the same cloth as Austin insofar as being a bit more... eclectic? Austin really rounded out the crew as far as tastes and it was really refreshing and I thought that his different perspective led to more interesting discussion than the crew just all agreeing on how games are.
Persona 5
I think they're just a notch below them, but they're quickly approaching it. If the Switch bombs I think we'll see Nintendo fans go over
Also I'm really interested in Brad's opinion of Zelda, even more than Jeff. He's pretty lukewarm on Nintendo and Zelda, but he absolutely loved the open world sandbox of MGSV and the freedom it had. Maybe Zelda will convince him

Oh really? Haven't listened yet. Nice.
Austin is stealing all of those people though.
I agree.
I can see that being another game like Witcher 3 where they all found things they enjoyed but the game being so long and meaty that few got more than a third of the way through. Vinny vetting for Blood and Wine was nice.
I finally got around to listening to waypoint and it's as good as I'd hoped.

Destiny 1 didn't even deliver at all and it still ended up in the top 10. Destiny 2 being as good as the taken king at the very least will probably make Brad champion it.

If this was pre kids Vinny he'd probably marathon through Persona 5, but unless that game becomes a show on the site I just don't see them playing it enough to fight for it in GotY. Jason might play, but he never fights that hard for stuff in the bigger categories.
Destiny 2 is going to be disappointing if that makes Brad turn on it I can't guess. With that deadline Bungie has it's coming out this year and if they were actually confident about it you'd be hearing positive rumors by now instead of silence.

It'll get a mention during GOTY and nothing else.

Totally forgot Red Dead 2. It'll be several open world games and Persona 5 in the top five.

Persona 5 will be 2018's old game of the year.

I loved it while it was coming out. I think it's worth the watch

Things I can see in GB GOTY contention if they pan out:
Horizon
Zelda
RDR2
Destiny 2
Mario
Mass Effect
Persona 5
Alex will argue for Splatoon 2
