For the past few weeks something has been bothering me. I usually listen to podcasts while I play games but I've felt like I've had less and less to listen to. Then I realised I had stopped listening to the Giant Bombcast. No wonder I've felt a hole in my life.
Anyway, when do they usually post the game of the year deliberations/'awards' podcasts? Early January?

The GOTY podcasts run from Monday to Friday next week.
I think they had to be recorded earlier this year, since they were in the process of moving offices. Curious to see how the videos turned out.

oh my god
The more I see of Dan, the more I'm convinced he's not a real human. How does he do all these things?
some CBS exec or something must really like him

I'm really worried about how the game of the year daily videos are going to turn out.
Today's video wasn't the best proof of concept.

I think it's just supposed to be what they'd be doing if they had to operate their own section of the site and I think they all edited their own. That Alex stuff felt like something Alex would make, for example.
So someone like Jeff's or Brad's would maybe be a bit better since they've done more editing work than either Austin or Alex.

Also Will Smith's Top 10 is great and I recommend reading it

4 Hours of podcast today. This is what I signed up for.

To be fair Alex and Austin are the least funny people.
alex and austin have a bad habit of being the kind of people that DON'T KNOW WHEN TO STOP AND TO NOT YELL WHEN TELLING JOKES.
I was really glad [sp]Splatoon[/sp] got best soundtrack. It's great yet didn't get any real recognition this year.

you take that back
austin's laugh has the power to cure sickness
Ok, I understand the motif now. It's shitty youtube videos :v:

Really? I find it hard to watch any content with Austin in because of that laugh.

He sometimes has it come out of nowhere but... that's his laugh. You can't control laugh.
Even so, his conversations on the Beastcast are great and 'who is guest' is part of my daily lingo now.
I appreciate Austin because he's basically me. Anime, mechs, and weird RPGs.

I don't know how to link MP4s so I'll link the next best thing.
Oh my god
I have never seen Jeff smirk like that
With all the personal staff GOTY lists so far it's looking pretty likely to me that MGSV is going to be the overall GOTY.
I was expecting it to be an easy win for Mario Maker, but it looks like not every staff member likes it to the extent Dan and Jeff does. On the other hand MGSV appears very high on all the personal lists, except for Austin's, but his list doesn't have Mario Maker either.
Drew liked Mario Maker more than MGSV, but other than Dan/Jeff/Drew it sounds like it just doesn't have enough support. They'll have to make a hell of an argument for it to take the #1 spot.
Less than a minute into the day 4 video, and there's 100% more "Hello Jason"s than all the previous videos combined. Hopefully tomorrows will continue to ramp that up.

Also I think it says something about Dan that everyone else's segment is specifically made satire, but his is a video that was completely unrelated to the GOTY video segments originally, but totally works as his segment.
Holy shit I'm rolling at Jeff's [URL="https://youtu.be/GdXpbA89A7g?t=263"]grocery haul[/URL] at the end of GOTY 2015 Day Five.

I'd watch Jeff do Grocery Hauls all day if all of them involved [sp]downing an entire pint.[/sp]
