Hey that seems like a fun crew to hear talk about their favorite games. Wish it was a more audio-focused medium so I could listen to it at work, though.

The Mary/Mike/Dan stream is super great so far, it's pretty much the old GB style with the google doc and lots of weird categories--but doing it with just 3 people, super casually, with a lot of silliness, really makes the format soar. Yeah I wish this was audio 'cause I gotta go to bed.

Makes me wish GB moved toward splitting up GOTY between the coasts, instead of them giving up on the format (basically what happened).

Surprisingly, after 10 years, looks like I've finally stopped listening to the Bombcast, I've missed like 5 in a row. I love and adore Jeff, but don't particuarly enjoy him aggressively shouting about problems with the latest AAA game for 2 hours. I mean, I don't give a crap about these games either. Just, please find something else to fill the 2 hours! The email segment is like 10 minutes these days.

Beastcast still strong though!

I love 90s music, so this task they are undertaking has been gut wrenching. For example, I love both Savage Garden singles unironically.

What're the predix for GotY? Feel like there haven't been a bunch of stand-out contenders, and a few of them didn't even seem to like any games this year.

Ori 2 seems like the main one that some loved and no one hated...? Hades I'm not sure if it has any super high passion surrounding it, but Jeff was positive about it at least, which is unusual for him and 2020 games.

Wonder if they'd throw Warzone on there...

Hades will likely win.

Outside of that they're probably thinking about the following for the top 10:
Miles Morales, Spelunky 2, Ori 2, Cyberpunk, Destiny 2, Doom Eternal, Tony Hawk 1+2, Sekiro, Demon Souls, Bugsnax, Animal Crossing, Last of Us 2, FF7: Remake, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Ghost of Tsushima.

Probably some more I'm not thinking about but you look at that list and the most obvious winner seems to be Hades because I don't see the arguments against it.

I think Hades is an easy number 1. I think Animal Crossing makes the list, Spiritfarer makes the list, FFVIIR makes the list, Ghost of Tsushima makes the list, Yakuza Like a Dragon makes the list, THPS1+2 makes the list if its eligible. And beyond that Im not sure!

I could definitely see Yakuza being number 1. Everyone is super hot on it, even Jeff. As I recall, Jeff wasn't that into Hades, so I could see him trying to fight for Yakuza over it

Jeff was definitely very positive on Hades. I think his playtime was more during early access than final release but he said it was the best game Supergiant had made

After listening to the Bombcast and looking at the crews other thoughts, here is what Im thinking right now for Giant Bombs list:

  1. Hades
  2. Yakuza Like A Dragon
  3. THPS1+2
  4. Factorio
  5. Final Fantasy VII Remake
  6. Ori and the Will of the Wisps
  7. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
  8. Ghost of Tsushima
  9. Spiritfarer
  10. 13 Sentinels


I am ready for this to be totally wrong. If THPS1+2 is not regarded as eligible, Fuser seems most likely to make it in instead.

Jan said he would fight for 13 Sentinels and Alex will go hard for Spiritfarer but I think hes the only one who played a lot of it. Vinny specials usually end up very high and Factorio is absolutely that. I think the rest is fairly self-explanatory.

  1. Hades
  2. Spider-Man: Miles Morales
  3. Yakuza Like A Dragon
  4. THPS1+2
  5. Astros Playroom
  6. Ghost of Tsushima
  7. Final Fantasy VII Remake
  8. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
  9. Spiritfarer
  10. Ori and the Will of the Wisps
My guess for their top 10. Astro's is probably high by a spot or two but overall I think it looks decent. Then again i would not have had them picking Tetris that one year either.....or had it in their top 5.

I really hope GB gets the chance to do more hiring soon. Its probably very unlikely, but it would be cool if they could find another pair like Dan and Jason who have a preexisting relationship. The site needs a new pillar.

They were lucky to Dan and Jason when they did. I feel like this style of media is on an extinction path. Up-and-coming talent probably don't want to join something like GB when they can just stream on Twitch or make YouTube videos with a Patreon. And a lot of the older talent has moved away from talking about games to higher callings like development or production
