The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Enemy Within is GOTY. Dunno why this is even in question.
Which I would agree with immediately and unquestionably if it weren't DLC for me, since I got the PC version. I am a prisoner of my own need to categorize things properly. I have an extensive color-coded GOTY spreadsheet in progress even now.
Expansion packs like EW and Brave New World I am completely okay with classifying as new releases

For me personally, I keep a list on Giant Bomb that I'm keeping up to date on GOTY stuff
There are way too many great games this year
The list is currently at
1. The Last of Us
2. Grand Theft Auto V
3. Saints Row IV
4. BioShock Infinite
5. Gunpoint
6. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies
7. Fire Emblem: Awakening
8. The Wonderful 101
9. DmC Devil May Cry
10. Gone Home
And here's all the things that fall off the list, plenty of these being games I loved
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Pikmin 3
Tomb Raider
Divekick
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Pokemon Y
Payday 2
BIT.TRIP Presents Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
Guacamelee!
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Proteus
Antichamber
Might be illuminating to remind ourselves of the games that Giant Bomb gave 5 stars to this year:
DmC: Devil May Cry
StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm
BioShock Infinite
The Last of Us
Gone Home
Rayman Legends
Grand Theft Auto V
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Wii U sales number can only possibly go up to September 30th (end of last quarter), which is before Wind Waker and Mario, the games everyone bought/is buying a Wii U for.

As always, I love Brad "don't talk about anything interesting from Mass Effect 3 on the podcast for 6 months because I haven't played it yet" Shoemaker casually dropping spoilers on the Bombcast.
I wasn't going to play Batman anyway, but come on man.
Does this include the windwaker bundle being out? would have thought that would spur things
I am enjoying mine and I am looking forward to Mario 3D... there's at least 6 games I *want* to buy for this thing, can't say that for my PS3
Like I said, this pdf won't load for me for some reason, but sales are reported after each quarter. The last quarter ended at the end of September, just before Wind Waker came out.
Granted, the sample we have here of people buying that bundle is highly anecdotal, but I'd expect to find spikes for both that and Mario 3D World in 3 weeks.

Being a hypocrite about things is kinda Brads deal

That's pretty par for the course, Brad is only adamant about spoilers when he's the one being spoiled. He couldn't give a shit if anyone else is.
Also also. Thinking about media enabled toasters I kinda wish there was a toaster that took jpegs, converted them to greyscale and toasted it into the bread.

Do you need to borrow my MIB memory eraser to help with that
if it wasn't for the broodmother changes I'd take the past patch over this one.
Now If they released Legion commander I'll take that patch definitely, she looks like a cool lady

Hey I like it a lot, I just don't have the time to play SC right now.
I need a new Hard Drive because this is starting to be like a normal size for a game

we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
But it wasn't great or original or really exceptional in any way
I wasn't going to play Batman anyway, but come on man.
Yeah. If you don't care about competitive starcraft you probably don't care about HotS at all beyond a single playthrough of the campaign.

Also it took the at least ok story of part one and threw it in the garbage
The dissonance between the insane level of polish on their games and the bad fanfiction quality writing of their stories continues to get worse
What do you think Titan is.
