Giant Bomb GoTY 2016- Agent 47, take out that Doom Marine

Whenever you start to think Giant Bomb might start acting logical again because they lost some "hero of the marginalized" like Walker or Klepek, remember they are deeply entrenched San Franciscan brainwashed libs like the vast majority of the games media.

Finally got around to checking out the site. I'll watch the podcast on my own time, but does this year not have themed "skits" or videos to present the awards? Or am I just missing something? Are these Holiday Specialtacular things those?
 
Listening to the Hottest mess discussions now and these several pregnant pauses are very telling during the Palmer Lucky part. Props to Alex for bringing the fire here.

Yeah, this year those are replacing the skits.

Yeah. Have to give absolutely huge props to Alex for making the case and Jeff for actually being the first one to talk about it.
 
I don't remember them doing a Mario and Sonic QL this year and sure enough it is not listed in the QL section. You have to search for it. Now i'm paranoid at what else isn't listed.

Man, those long periods of silence during the final hottest mess discussions. That just speaks volumes.

They're 100% right though. A shitty release really can't compare to white supremacy in terms of being a mess.
 

LiQuid!

I proudly and openly admit to wishing death upon the mothers of people I don't like
This Hitsmas video is like a 2 hour Best of Giant Bomb video. I'm an hour in and DYING. Just saw
Sheikh Zanzibar's Magic of the Sahara
. I had to pause I can't breathe.

The comments hurt my brain. One even goes so far to say, "I don't know what Palmer did, but how dare Alex go after him?"

Being upset over something you're uninformed on is baffling to me. "I'm angry but I don't know why!"

I don't think I laughed that much all year than during the Hitsmas video. Goddam Vinny's run was something else! Everyone needs to stop what they're doing an watch that.

Yeah, just listened to the best style section. Doom has GOTY on lock. Brad: "Don't make me come across this table and glory kill you".

Tbh as stupid as that might be to some people the fact they had a Hitman video up made me think more highly about where it'll end up lmao.

Haha, yep, I'm choosing to see it as a sign. Their pure joy when playing that thing and then make another whole video should say a lot!

This Vinny Hitman segment just keeps getting better and better...

I'm up to where
the Sheikh axes a guard (which they thought was alone on his own) in front of a whole crowd of people.

I've had to stop and rewind to re-watch sections multiple times already just to take in all the reactions along with the game events occurring.
 
Just listened to Hottest Mess on the podcast. Mad props to Alex for going to town on Palmer and not being afraid to get personal and talk about the fact that they had that guy on in a casual setting before.

Listening to Jeff slowly accepting that they should actually take what is basically a political stand on this, was a wonderful thing.

I like this game tapes type format they are doing to replace the skits. Collectshun won't ever be topped anyway.
 
Dan's argument for Stardew Valley is kinda weak.

As much as I love Stardew Valley, it's most obvious and glaring flaw is it's combat. While it's still a really great game, I can't give the combat a pass since it's required to progress in the game.

It's just not GOTY material against other titles that are better rounded imo.

Yeah. On the one hand Palmer was there to rep Oculus and the Rift and it was all PR no matter how chummy everyone was, but on the other I know the feeling when you've been friends with someone and all buddy buddy without knowing the shit inside them and then when it comes out just feeling super icky about the whole thing.
