I haven't had time to listen to Giant Bomb's GOTY stuff until today
you've been shilling these fat SJW e-celebs for a week straight fuck off would you?
Leo Mitchell
No.
Jacob James
The podcasts were a lot of fun. Now we have to wait half an year until GB is fun again at E3. Jeff and Vinny need to get together more often.
Julian Martinez
Is that for real? Where's Divinity Original Sin 2? Horizon Zero Dawn? Total War: Warhammer 2? XCOM 2: WotC (if they count SA expansions)?
Isaac Bennett
>Where's Divinity Original Sin 2? Vinny said he was sorry, alright? THEY WERE SETTING UP THE OFFICE!
Jayden Nguyen

WHO THE FUCK CARES WHO THE FUCK CARES WHO THE FUCK CARES STOP MAKING THREADS ABOUT LITERALLY WHOS

What if you didn't click on them
Joshua Murphy

Evan Taylor
a thread died for an e-celeb shill thread
Jason Thompson
Nah. They're entertaining and fun to talk about. Sorry.
Jeremiah Hill
Actually, it didn't. A Giant Bomb thread was deleted, which means the catalog didn't have an excess of threads, thus nothing died for this :)
Jayden Perry
>It's good, and I like it, I just think that it has a lot of cohesion, and like other people like it, and it's very good, I think it's good and I like it!
Parker Phillips
2 giant bomb threads were spammed at the same time after that thread was deleted dumbfuck
Colton Nguyen
I don't understand why the staff seems incapable of actually arguing. Take the "You're forced to look up 2B's skirt" claim. During the discussion that followed, no one really argued if it matters. It was merely accepted as fact that if this game did this thing, it was therefore gross.
The closest anyone came was Alex saying it didn't detract from his experience / he didn't think about it. Why does no one have the balls to say that a game director has the right to make the main character a sexy maid if he explicitly states, "I like sexy maids, so I made her a sexy maid." Especially in a game with "deep" themes are they argue it is. Why did no one argue that the game is Japanese and therefore comes from a culture where this is more acceptable?
Except these threads tend toward discussion of video games and arguments about video games, even with the constant shitting on people.

>10 never heard of it >9 no, not really. I'd say injustice 2 has done more. tekken 7 is kind of bland. >8 never heard of it >7 lol, worse than the new order in every single way, including gunplay and graphics. hell no. >6 how? It did the EXACT same shit as destiny 1, right down to not having any postgame content. >5 sure, actually a good spot for it to. >4 eh, sure. I like it, a bit short, and easy to 100% though, but it's a mario game. >3 I didn't really like nier 1 so I skipped nier 2. >botw I really don't think it deserves to be THAT high, but top 10, sure. >1 pubg everyone loves pubg but I just don't get the draw.
Adam Foster
>everyone loves pubg but I just don't get the draw. It's normie crack
Dominic Thompson
>Worse than TNO is every single way Everyone's arguments hinged on it being "important", and the story moments being phenomenal. But I honestly don't understand how Hitler pissing himself and throwing up on the moon somehow saves a game that should by no means be worse than its predecessor.
It's basically only on the list because it's 2017.
>Destiny You don't know the power of Brad Shoemaker
Benjamin Long
>Except these threads tend toward discussion of video games and arguments about video games, even with the constant shitting on people. either you're being a disingenuous little weasel or you have down syndrome.
Jose Hernandez
I've played it with friends, and I'm pretty normie, I buy cod every year and still enjoy the hell out of it, enough to get to 3rd or 4th prestige every time.
But pubg is just so slow. I don't get the appeal. And no one's able to explain it to me. I've played the game, I know what it's like.
Andrew Sanders
>no one really argued if it matters
With the audience they cater to and that it was the one woman on staff that had a problem, there was no way they were going to touch it
Jaxson Lopez
Basically this. It's the PC equivalent of Pokemon GO - less of a game, more of a (contained) cultural phenomenon.
Adam Edwards
Because that argument doesn't really detract from the fact that it bothered Abby. Alex said something like "I didn't care" and Brad said "Well, yeah, but she did"
Hunter Cox
hey is that Zoe Quinn creator of Depression Quest, Scourge of the Alt-Right, Destroyer of Gamergators and best friend of Giant Bomb sitting next to long time contribute and ex-member of Giant Bomb, Patrick Klepek giving a panel on "online harassment"? Wow what a great picture that is. It really does speak a thousand words.
Adrian Bell
>how?
Grayson White
> yeah
Nathaniel Foster
I've played battlegrounds and it's not the best game of any year. Popular, yes, but it doesn't bring any value or improvement to the medium of video games in any way. This kind of game serves the same purpose as something like league of legends. It's like putting a mobile above a baby's crib, keeps them distracted and entertained and nobody has to deal with them for a bit while they drool and shit themselves.
Mason Roberts
When is she going to give her GOTY top 10 like previous years I am eager to hear her opinions on this years releases I hope Giant Bomb begs this goddess of virtue and goodness to write an article.
Daniel Howard
Even with a purely game-related debate (over PUBG), the staff strays away from making arguments that challenge the presumptions people have. That's why I appreciate Ben at least trying to argue against PUBG being held to a different standard from fully-fleshed out, good games.
I guess that's the issue. The next question is, "Should you care?" That's a perfectly legitimate question to ask, but not in the culture that Giant Bomb caters to. People kept claiming they'd been "convinced" to keep Dream Daddy on the list, but it seems like others are irrationally immune to convincing about specific things.
I just hated that Abby opened her mouth to shit on NieR literally every opportunity she had. Any time ANYONE mentioned NieR as a topic of discussion she'd snarkily hint that she was ready to take it down a peg.
Tyler Gomez
...
Thomas Campbell
she doesnt even play games
Sebastian Jones
I won't tolerate liars in this thread even if you are being ironic
Xavier Allen
But it's fun.
Argue with that, motherfucker.
Benjamin Harris
Pretty good feet. Not bad. If she just got rid of the dumb haircut she'd be aight.
Zachary Morales
>she doesn't play games
not only does she play game she fucking makes them! do you feel silly yet? feel like deleting your stupid post?
Levi Sanchez
Whether you should care or not doesn't really matter. The fact of the matter is that it does bother her and that's something to consider.
Caleb Walker
>I'd say injustice 2 has done more you totally killed any credibility right there.
Justin Cook
nah
Grayson Williams
so this is where abby gets her "kooky" personality
I still find it bizarre that Abby argued so hard for Cuphead when she seemingly didn't progress past the third world of the game. She has 115 achievement points, so she probably >Beat the first two worlds >Beat a boss >Got the parry / super art achievements I'm pretty sure she bought an Xbox specifically to play Cuphead on it.
Did she finish the game in the office or something? I just don't get it.
Wyatt Hernandez
You'll fucking regret speaking ill of Zoe Quinn, best friend of Alex Navarro and ANTIFA Field Medic.
Nathaniel Cook
I'm gonna go ahead and guess she finished the game in the office in co-op with Vinny.
Isaac Ramirez
Are you fucking serious?
Aiden Rodriguez
Do you not see the VR headset on her head?
Wyatt Powell
FUCK i forget alex was in antifa ;-;
Ayden Wright
Really though, tekken 7's been out for like 2 years before console release, and it hasn't changed all that much in those 2 years, especially not enough to warrant being top 10. Injustice 2 changed a fair bit from injustice 1 and even if it's just mkx with a dc skin it STILL does it better than tekken 7 handled it's ports. Do you not remember the abysmal month 1 where you sometimes couldn't get connected to anyone, just for no reason at all, or how about where the fucking xbone port was the only one that didn't have severe stuttering?
Mason Lopez
Fortnite should be on that list.
Josiah Jackson
He's in DSA, Zoe is in ANTIFA
it's a match made in heaven.
Daniel Morales
>look to the right DUDE
Logan Barnes
boomer hippies are the greatest!
Jaxon James
You can look up exactly what she unlocked on the xbox app.
She beat 8 bosses.
Benjamin Reyes
great thanks now everyone knows where i live you jerk
Robert Gray
>Jeff has been streaming alot lately
What the fuck bros, what's he thinking?
Ayden Hernandez
That being out of the office and having some free time is a good time to mess around with weird old games that he wants to play anyway and share them with his fans?
#MrDoKru
Benjamin Cruz
>Dream Daddy suspicious
Landon Mitchell
wait, 17 hours and only 8 bosses?
Ethan Gutierrez
You can't hurt anyone's feelings anymore. Which means you can't say someone is wrong. Which means you can't argue
Colton King
Wait Jeff streams? Do the other guys stream on their off time too?
Henry Green
Childhood is siding with Alex and Dan over the GOTYs Adulthood is realizing Jeff and Vinny are still based
Cooper Bailey
Jason has done a few, Drew did some while he was still with them, other than that? not really.
Landon Murphy
cant find him
Brayden Hall
>SJWs voting for SJW game >suspicious nooooooooo
Justin Perez
there isn't much else to see, really i just wanted to know what her parents did for a living and found out her biological father worked for the DoD and posted that weird shit her stepdad is a huge trump supporter, funnily enough
Chase Richardson

Stopped reading.
Saged. Reported. Called the cops.
Jacob Collins

Nolan Reed

Carson Ward
Dod?
Dominic Collins
My argument didn't say that it wasn't fun, but that it contributed nothing worthy of being called the best.
Dylan Reed

Luis Perez
Isnt she a jew? Muslims hate them.
Jacob Richardson
too bad it doesn't just fucking die
Justin Reyes
yes
Cameron Robinson
>Claims they don't care for it, yet they've press to see the thread and commented on it
This year there was no Top 10 games of Zoe Quinn(or am I wrong?, didn't see it), she must be busy writting that amazing book about harassment she received from GamerGate. She is delusional like many other people out there.
I just can't believe how people can believe her lies when people found so much dirt on her, and until this day they claim GamerGate was about harassing female game developers. It's baffling.
Owen White
CUPHEAD SHOULD BE HIGHER
He's doing only Old Games with Jeff at home, and only 4 streams week ago. That's not a lot, still more than West premium content during a week.
Justin Miller
Is video production even worth getting into? Seems like ancomfy job if all you do is turn some knobs
Gabriel Myers
>she must be busy writting that amazing book about harassment she received from GamerGate It was published in september (it's bad). She's busy writing the Chuck Tingler FMV now.
Tyler Edwards
It's so cohesive!
Jordan Clark
Anybody want a copy of hoe quinns book?
Joseph Robinson
the review she got from her mother saying the book was full of lies was the best read of 2017
Carter Rogers
Already came out? Had no idea, nor I would read bunch of lies.
>the review she got from her mother saying the book was full of lies was the best read of 2017
Do you have link, I must see it!
Cameron Johnson
She's a comedian and going to take the world by storm by being the only female that likes gross humor. You're lucky you have the chance to experience her before she makes it big.
