Also listening to Brad try and defend Destiny for over an hour in the last GOTY podcast was utterly cringe inducing. Awful reasoning for a game that even he admits is objectively pretty bad, and the only reason why its his #2 is because he's psychologically addicted to it like someone gets psychologically addicted to gambling or MMO's. As such, refuses to accept that his investment in that game largely stems from that addiction, and that addiction blindsiding all the glaring faults it has. He's so delusional with it I almost got the sense he'd throw a tantrum and run out of the room if everyone didn't let him put it on the top 10.[/QUOTE]
Nah, man, it's good, GOTY worthy. There are no problems. I can stop playing... trust me.
[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;46843562]surprise, he's at kotaku because he has connections with the boss.[/QUOTE]
Just gonna say there's nothing wrong about getting a job based on your connections.
Destiny shouldn't have been in the top 10.
Someone should have looked him in the eyes and said "This list is a representation of what we recommend people play. We cannot in good conscience recommend people play Destiny."
Wolfenstein got pushed off in favor of Destiny. Darn you brad!

This would probably piss me off less if Brad was actually capable of explaining why he likes it, instead he just mumbles about some boots he found and how nice the skybox is and that's the end of the conversation.
What does Destiny do better than Wolfenstein, at least Wolfenstein had a plot and characters.
wolfenstein deserves a thousand awards
never forget j he was the fucking man

No, it's not that at all. It's a top 10 list of the games the GB crew liked the most from the year. It's entirely subjective.
Seriously?
Jeff rejected wolfenstein for destiny?
The hell guys

Yeah but Brad is the only one who likes it, and Jeff actively hates it. He only let it on because of the irony of having the Most Disappointing game of the year being in the top games of the year.

That didn't stop Dota 2 from being on the list last year though. And that's a game that even Brad actively says "Don't play it, it's impossible to get into it, you won't have fun"
Anyway, Alex is apparently doing something with Big Rigs at AGDQ.

wowee jeff actually likes warframe!
from the first look they did a couple years ago of the closed beta they didn't really like it. i guess the grind from diablo 3 and destiny engraved a liking for warframe in jeff's head in between the cbt and the current build.
Warframe was a totally different game when they did that quicklook.
[QUOTE=Skyward;46880220]Warframe was a totally different game when they did that quicklook.[/QUOTE]
yes but the base mechanics and the grinding of the game hasn't changed at all
The base mechanics aren't bad though.
But yeah, the grind can be overwhelming.
I really like Warframe, so it's nice to have someone on the team who likes it.
One of my favorite Bombcast conversations.

The latest Quick Look is a treasure trove of Jeff gifs.
The way he and Dan point just shows so much of their personalities regarding dumb minigame collections.

Did you miss [B]BIKE II[/B] ?
As a fan of TETRIS, I enjoyed that UPF. Tetris Battle Gaiden is always fun to watch.
Have they only done UPF since the beginning of 2013?
Today I decided to do a Mario Party Party with my friends. Food, drinks, and 50 rounds. It was a glorious, hellish time.
I went to Twitter to thank Mr. Ryckert for the idea, and he favorite'd my tweet.
God, I love that man.

I think Brad is gonna play the new Saints Row co-op with Vinny which sounds like it could be kind of amazing?
