(+) Yeah! (+)

Ohhh boy! 3+ hour podcasts here we gooo!
---

I think they're gonna shit on Fallout today
---

Smh CE, this is the good shit
---

I heard they got rid of all negative categories because pussies thought they were being too mean and critical.

I'll watch it eventually a few months from now when I've played more 2018 games.
---

They still have Hottest Mess and Most Disappointing.

Also holy shit today's podcast is 6 hours fucking long
---

can't wait to hear jeff and dan shit on rdr2

I'm still on Ep 1 and I started on Monday lol they should definitely cut the Goty eps down. Also, I kinda hate Abbie.
---

I love how stupid long their podcasts are.

Also they literally just played Cruel Angel's Thesis for the music segment lol

Alright then I'm back in.

And I agree about enjoying the length. It's only once a year so I really enjoy it being so long and meaty.

It's fucking pretty bad this year, but GB has been on the decline for awhile now.

"Hey let's waste the first three days just talking about the games to avoid that problem later...and then still do it later anyways!"

She's still awful this year so you will hate her more.

They got to talk about like 50 games tho. I like hearing the raw takes

I don't know when I'll find the time to listen to this stuff, but I appreciate how deep they go into some games at least

There's this thing called the Bombcast they do every week where you can get that. The first three days were basically just filler Bombcast episodes.

idk where you heard that, they still have negative categories. They trimmed the fat though, cut it down from 20 categories to 10

I like Abby but she is a damn pill in the GOTY stuff. I had to stop listening to it last year because I was fucking sick of hearing about how Dream Daddy is "very good".

Abbie literally threw Yakuza 0 under the bus just so fucking Dream Daddy could make top 10 last year. Her whole reasoning was "but the dialogue is sooo good!" Fuck her >_>

Is she at least better this year?

I'm still on the first podcast and she doesn't talk a lot, but when she does it's been pretty bad. She thinks Florence should be up for GotY for instance.

They all have weird games that they like to push for. Abbie also wasnt the only one pushing for Dream Daddy. She gets some undeserved hate tbh

Vinny and especially Jeff took pity on her with that. That game had no damn business being in the top ten especially that year.

But she was the barrier that kept Yakuza 0 at #11, which is the biggest horseshit ever.

I think she's decent the week leading up to GotY where they have her on the Bombcast with the other people from New York, but GotY really makes her seem insufferable.

Last year Abbie's problem was that she just flat out did not know how to form an argument. She just kept saying the same points over and over again wanting her stuff to make the list or be moved higher. The year where Dan pushed Stardew he was really into expressing how much that game made him feel and it was a really good way to give people an idea of why it belonged on the list. Abbie simply didn't have that. She's alright with the average content there, but her on GOTY last year was pretty bad.

Still, when it comes to GOTY podcasts, no one's as bad as Alex at times, other than Jeff at times, unless it's Brad because stubborn sour boy Brad is the worst.
---

The RDR2 arguments get pretty heated lol. That passion and now knowing how it ends makes me wanna play it tbh
