2012 had Jeff getting Syndicate, Patrick getting ZombiU, Brad getting Mass Effect 3, and Vinny getting Sleeping Dogs. It's kind of always been this way. Although I definitely prefer "This is a game one of us really loves" to "I guess we all kinda like Uncharted"

Like I said in the GOTY thread I think they should stop numbering 1-10 and just do 1-5 and then 5 more "honorable mentions" or whatever. In the past few years the order of the back half of the list has been completely arbitrary
more so than the front half anyway
This is my favorite part of the whole process.

Oh my God, the abrupt stop in the Dishonored 2 quick look where Jason berates Dan for not knowing nationally syndicated radio host Delilah is so fucking relevant.

The only radio host worth knowing is The Deb of Night.

Codex entries basically implied that his bloodlust is eternal and unrelenting. Although he did show restraint in not killing Hayden right away.

Jeff has a fucking slot machine? That actually makes sense.
Jeff got that pig iron.

Does Heaven even exist in that world? I don't think they ever did that in the past Doom games.

I wish the arcade mode wasn't the fastest way to get loot boxes because the arcade modes mostly suck.

They should expand that to all modes tbh
You're supposed to play, have fun and not care about the progression, since then it starts looking like work and 90 minutes work for a loot box that costs $1 is not a very good return.

Let's be clear here: Overwatch's level-ups are not progression. There is no mechanical difference between a level 1 and level 1,000 player. It is a good excuse to drip feed cosmetic lootboxes and nothing more.
In general, I feel like the progression sentiment (i.e. saying it's not rewarding), and a general disdain for lootboxes have only come to a head with Overwatch. Which is weird, because there's dozens of worse games that embrace that sort of thing, while also doing it in a malicious way--particularly on mobile--but they aren't demonised for it, just ignored. Like Brad's Clash Royale thing, or, the big one, Team Fortress 2--the worst of all worlds.
What is it that makes Overwatch so much more egregious about it?

Easily one of the best videos in years. Cross-coast content stays winning.

GAF isn't the only one that hates the GB GOTY's 
I like how they frame it as the problem is just Palmer voting for Trump. I wonder-GAF isn't the only one that hates the GB GOTY's
Oh.

Drew has been talking about taking his family to Japan over the past few Bombcasts and UPFs, so I would assume he's doing it now
Check that guy's twitter feed.GAF isn't the only one that hates the GB GOTY's
edit:
Yeah, that was top 3 in that same category lol
Apparently he really hates that BAKOON guy, that's probably why he wrote the whole thing.
