Giant Bomb Game of the Year Funstravaganza Threadtacular

edited December 2015 in Social Entropy++
We are less than a hour away from the event of the year; 8 grown men sitting around a table and arguing about videogames into microphones for nearly 20 hours. REMEMBER TO PUT EACH DAYS EVENTS INTO SPOILERS, PLEASE!


Let's take a look at our participants

Giant Bomb West
maxresdefault.jpg
Jeff Gerstmann
Will Jeff be able to find love in his heart for Just Cause 3? Will he be able to overlook MGSV's terrible post-release support? Or will he put everything on Super Mario Maker?

2530819-bradface.png
Brad Shoemaker
Will Brad push for Destiny: The Taken King to be on the list? Will we hear the dread filibradster to keep Super Mario Maker from #1? Will he put DOTA2 as #1 again?

prUNUx7.png
"Dirty" Dan Ryckert
Will Dan be torn between his lifelong love of Metal Gear and his new flame, Super Mario Maker? Can he choose a winner, or will he be lost to indecision?

Drew Scanlon
Metal Gear Scanlon's own Drew Scanlon. Has he played enough MGSV to put his chips behind it? Or will another game find his fancy?

2743263-jasappointed.jpg
Jason Oestreicher
Resident fighting game expert and newly proud father (again) this year, Jason may not have had as much time to play games has he has still put his time in the trenches and will hopefully provide a cooler head. Or at least someone to puch Dan if he gets out of line.


Giant Bomb East

Vinny Caravella
Forever short on time, Vinny none-the-less is a valuable member in that he's probably the closest thing we have to a referee in recent years, managing to end a fillibradster last year.

2186920-alex_shop_episode_2.jpg
Alex Navarro
The Wolf himself, Alex has made a name for himself reviewing some of the worst dross in videogames, and will be a valuable resource for when the podcast turns its gaze towards the less savory entries on the battlefield.

Austin Walker i.e. Professor Videogames
Newcomer Austin Walker has the potential to shake things up this year, dropping knowledge and truth. But will he be able to defeat the likes of Ignorance and Obstinance? (You know who you are.)

    Well this is going to go fast.

    Hence why we got permission to put it into a separate thread rather than gunk up the podcasts thread.

    I hope Brad does try to get Taken King on the list, because it's great.

    Can't wait for this, I've been wanting to see how high undertale can go.

    No I don't.

    Don't expect to see anyone fighting too hard for Fallout 4

    Austin seems to be the only one who is really enthusiastic about it, and I don't know if he's enthusiastic about the game or his dope basketball court more

  • KilroyKilroy timaeusTestified Registered User regular
    to be fair, it's a really dope basketball court

  • JarsJars Registered User regular
    doubtful

  • Bluedude152Bluedude152 Registered User regular
    They all liked it but none of them have fallen into the internet obsession around it

    Of course I've never actually played it due to it refusing to launch on my computer so who know!

    I have a podcast about Power Rangers:Teenagers With Attitude | TWA Facebook Group
  • Death of RatsDeath of Rats Registered User regular
    1 to 5.

    No I don't.
  • Librarian's ghostLibrarian's ghost Librarian, Ghostbuster, and TimSpork Registered User regular

    More than enough time for everyone to go on record.

    No I don't.
  • QanamilQanamil x Registered User regular
    I can see it at 5. Otherwise only thing I'm sure is at the top are MGS, Mario, and Witcher.

  • Bluedude152Bluedude152 Registered User regular
    Reminder that this is their game of the year and is in no means ment to be objective

  • Librarian's ghostLibrarian's ghost Librarian, Ghostbuster, and TimSpork Registered User regular
    I'm going to be a bit surprised with Witcher makes it on the top five considering how down everyone was on it.

    I'm really doubtful on the witcher being even in the top 10. 2 to 5

    Death of Rats on
    No I don't.
  • KilroyKilroy timaeusTestified Registered User regular
    I could see undertale making number 5 between jeff, austin, and alex "napstablook" navarro

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    My guess:
    10) Destiny: The Taken King
    9) Until Dawn
    8) Undertale
    7) Fallout 4
    6) Dying Light
    5) Splatoon
    4) Rise of the Tomb Raider
    3) Rocket League
    2) Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
    1) Super Mario Maker

    i would like to bet fifty simoleons that more than 25%--but less than 75%--of giant bomb's staff will say the word "undertale" in the first ninety minutes of the discussion

  • MaddocMaddoc I'm Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother? Registered User regular
    I don't see Undertale getting higher than 8

    If I had to guess, I'd put it in the #10 spot

    I could see that

    Vinny, Dan and Brad all really liked Dying Light when it came out though

    Not sure if they'll remember it much
