Even though I didn't care for Red Dead Redemption 2 all that much, I didn't know there were people that aggressively down on it that much like Jeff Grubb was lmao
It was pretty funny watching him articulate all those pain points though
What video/podcast ep was this?
Just the Jeff Grubb component of the GB Extra Life this last week or so. Someone donates like $1000 just to force him to play it lol
They are probably going to be using a Eurovision style system for GotY, where each member bring a shortlist, they discuss each game and then vote, and the outcome is just points.
Guests could argue one or two games they really care about.
A chaos move would be to also run an audience vote, but I'd keep that separate from staff goty.
I'm wondering when they'll do the rest of goty, they're going to the game awards 2 says earlier, are they all staying in LA for 4-5 days to record all this, or is the rest done a week earlier or later?

Dan and Leo get to do the best MinnMax New Show Plus content! First video I saw with Leo he was seeing how many fast food stops he could make in an hour while Dan insisted he say dumb/corny things to the people at drive thru windows and put together mostly psychotic orders.
Poor Grubb! At the top of Extra Life Part 2 at Dan's house he is coming through on a Quarantine Zone cam in a dayroom area because he suddenly came down with symptoms of the flu.
Edit: Heh, one of the donation comments is "For the kids! And also Grubb I guess"
On the other hand it means he was spared that horrid Mary-Kate and Ash—SIXTEEN NOT AS YOUNG AS I USED TO BE SIXTEEN NOT AS YOUNG AS I USED TO BE SIXTEEN NOT AS YOUNG AS I USED TO BE SIXTEEN NOT AS YOUNG AS I USED TO BE SIXTEEN NOT AS YOUNG AS I USED TO BE SIXTEEN NOT AS YOUNG AS I USED TO BE SIXTEEN NOT AS YOUNG AS I USED TO BE SIXTEEN NOT AS YOUNG AS I USED TO BE—ley Olsen Mario Party ripoff

Eurovision voting prevents a smaller number of loud voices from pushing things to the top of the list, and honestly I think if you take the old top ten individual lists and apply the Eurovision voting style to them, you end up with a better top ten list every single year.

Depends on whether or not Super Mario Maker still wins GoTY during the year it came out. I wonder how the entrenched battle between Skyrim and Saints Row 3(?) would have panned out with that system.
I like that for Bianca her husband wearing an apple costume and being unable to leave their dayroom for 15 minutes, in which be must sing Let It Go and then explain the plot of Frozen into a walkie talkie for the entire time after coaching on singing from Mike Minotti, and doing all of this while being streamed and watched by what is likely a sizeable audience, must just barely register on any kind of weirdness scale for her.
Friday Night Forking may not be my thing, but Windbag is a really fun addition to this so far. He gels super well with the crew, and just has a good vibe. I wouldn't mind seeing him on other GB stuff.
All the super viral clips I've seen are just stuff glitching and/or people screaming into their mics?
I assume it's like another Phasmophobia type thing, but fully embracing YouTuber culture?
It's kinda like a weird sci fi phasmophobia, or that is the closest game comparison I can think of, but it's not actually that much like it. Just the core idea of a multiplayer game with proximity voice chat where there's a small base camp outside where someone can monitor the other players and coordinate if they have radios is the same. Rather than ghost hunting, you play a crew of expendable salvage collectors traveling to creepy abandoned facilities on various alien "moons" with different biomes. The objective is to bring enough salvage back to your shuttle and escape so that you meet your value quota and don't get vented into space, then repeat with harder missions until you inevitably do fail to meet quota. There are monsters both in the facilities and outside if you take too long and night falls, and they all have their own interesting behaviors and are generally instantly deadly if they touch a player. The cheap aesthetic of the players' stuff and their mysterious corporate overlord is pretty memorable, the monsters feel bizarre in a sort of SCP grab bag way, objects you are salvaging are random out of place objects like stop signs and axles and bike horns and cash registers. It's all very distinctive and memorable. When you buy support items like radios they're delivered by a drop pod that's blasting a very low quality ice cream truck jingle.

Nah, they're fine. Really no different than Check Yourself Before You Riggitywreck Yourself Award or anything.
They also seem to be going through them at a pretty decent clip and are only occasionally dipping into "can we clarify the definition/boundaries of this category again".
God knows how fucking bad some of the old GOTY years were with that shit. So far this has been absolutely butter smooth in comparison

After listening to today, the top ten is gonna have knives out between Baldur's Gate 3 and Zelda.

Didn't realise the Giant Bomb @ Nite thing was happening today. Fun to see them setting up a live couch again!
Missed the start of that, so I'm gonna watch a replay of the full thing tomorrow. Super pumped to see it, Alan Wake 2 is one of the greatest games of all time.
Nah, they're fine. Really no different than Check Yourself Before You Riggitywreck Yourself Award or anything.
Also nothing nearly as nebulous as "Best World" was from the GotY discussions that was featured in. Have been really enjoying everything so far!
I think Tam conflated most scenarios with most ideas a bit when discussing Baulder's Gate 3 vs Tears of the Kingdom, but that is rather slight in terms of issues with the categories.
Also, BEST 2022 GAME WE DIDN’T TALK ABOUT still had the game that should have won evading all of them.
And all these categories are way better than the standard GotY categories of other sites like Best Nintendo Game, Best Sony Game, Best Microsoft Game, etc. Not that those are bad, but they are far less entertaining to listen to and also hint at the final top 10 a bit too much in advance.

That reminds me that when discussing Soulja Boy Presents Best Game For People Who Drink Beer And Get Drunk or Smoke Weed and Get High and Herald of Darkness came up, Jan missed a perfect opportunity to modify it to Herald of Dankness.
The final day is live. I liked how Most Disappointing was handled this time around given how obvious it was and how unanimous it was going to be.
Rehab on

It was funny, but Starfield is such a weird thing. I don't know that I had any expectations going in to it to be disappointed by. But then it didn't even hit Skyrim levels of enjoyment when "Skyrim with space ships" should be GOAT for me.
And I also don't know any other game that could fit the category this year.

It was kinda perfect in that way

Fuckin’ Wins
They played it for three hours straight before they realized, with Chat’s help, that apparently they may have triggered an endless mode.

That's an E3 (well, whatever we're calling that mess now) thing, right? What's the occasion for this one?
A real all-timer of a couch lineup, good job Bakalar

What a weird year.
Fire Escape GOTY is live and Pranks have Begun
Apparently he broke his fingey during this incident and now he's using it as an excuse to get away with not partaking in Blight Club lmao
