    If anyone was wondering, Brad did eventually play and beat Superhot, at least according to his Steam profile. Not sure how that lines up with the recording schedule, though.

    Oh my god when vinny burst out of that door with the axe as the shiek and murdered the fuck out of that guy i started laughing so hard i think i almost passed out.

    I think this was my favorite giant bomb video in years. Vinny's entire run was pure magic.

    Me too but man they really should considering doing Yakuza 1 (PS2) then Y2 or skipping 2 and just watching the movie and playing Kiwami

    Cause man the PS2 games are pretty rough and Y2 is the only one without a modern update.


    Oh I forgot I also absolutely LOVE the Y1 dub so Id love to see it again.

    Tuned in and out of the 1st game o' the year cast while doing stuffs yesterday. I hadn't heard a thing about Bound prior, and now I really want to play it when I get back to my ps4. I adore these kinds of games.

    after watching Griffin's Nuzlocke run I'm convinced that that is the only way I would ever play Pokemon single player again, with a few modifications

    it removes the brute force option and that's more than enough for me

    it seems fucking nerve-wracking though

    and heart-breaking
    RIP Miss Beakman

    His is the best playthrough I've seen, I marathoned it but got to the second last episode before the last one came out, which was pretty fantastic really.

    All the other lets plays are just a mess of shouting, bad jokes and poor editing

    Yeah, most Nuzlockes go on for too long. Griffin's is a nice, digestible 20 part series, and clocks in at about 12 hours.

    I've been trying to watch ProJared's Sun Nuzlocke, and those Twitch archives are kind of a mess since they're just the WHOLE stream.


    Edit: also Griffin's edits with music and the photo gallery at his journey's end were great.

    Well guys

    I was all ready to be annoyed at Brad when he inevitably stumps for his indie darling of the year, Inside, during the final GOTY deliberations

    But I just played it

    And uh

    It absolutely deserves to be up there

    It's still like, number three for me? But it's number three with a fucking bullet

    I can't even believe what the fuck I just saw

    Day One already had a few cutthroat moments of savagery from the GB crew.

    Considering the thumbnail/screenshot of the Day 5 deliberations, I can see this getting surprisingly ugly.

    There's never been a better time to play video games.

    I honestly don't know what I'd pick for Best Moment now

    It's either the intro to DOOM, or the entire final sequence of Inside

    That's such a fucking coin flip for me

    I'm really curious how their Best New Character category will go, since there kind of weren't many standouts this year. I don't really think the cast of Overwatch would be in their contention, Doom Guy and Agent 47 don't count, and the few story-heavy indies they played like Inside really don't have character personalities. I could see Alex going to bat for the Oxenfree cast and Dan fighting for Abigail from Stardew, but they probably won't gain much traction.

    Knowing the GB guys, probably Delilah from Firewatch?

    Does Handibot count as a "character"?

    I dunno, the characters from Overwatch are the one big thing they all agree on. I could see Tracer getting a nomination.

    he is a fictional construct created whole cloth by an artist

    he is perhaps the purest definition of a character

    Alex is the only one that liked Firewatch more than "okay"

    I suppose, but seeing as Jeff is adamant about not enjoying their banter and how the GB crew doesn't seem like they dig into the overarching story of Overwatch, it's kind of an odd year for that category.

    Edit: Oh man, how good would it be if Jeff throws in the dark horse candidate of Popplio for Best New Character!

    Jeff doesn't like any of the characters (a position I tend to agree with) and I don't think any of them are strong enough on their own to beat out other individual characters
