Nier is still high on the list so it didn't do much if anything tbh

Brad was more of the killer and he liked the game but as usual if hes pushing something else (Zelda this year) whatever game will get torn down to achieve it.

That's mostly Brad and his stubbornness though since Zelda is his number 1 game and most of them fucking love PUBG so that wasn't gonna move (Jeff didn't care about Zelda).

Hell he did his ultimatum bit again of being there all night if Nier is placed at Number 1 so

This years stuff kinda sucked. Too many people who didn't really seem interested in deliberation. I'm not even singling out anyone, because they all were pretty bad this year.

Waypoint's stuff seem more interesting.

I think Alex was the best one at actually deliberating but he doesn't go far enough when he should tbh plus that Best World Category (which was apparently a category he created) was fucking terrible  :lol

Besides Vinny, Brad was probably the least stubborn and most apathetic of the whole crew.

I disagree hell if that was the case Mass Effect wouldn't get worse game or having Destiny 2 as a runner up for Best Graphics. He might not have gone full blown "filibuster" but he would plant himself if necessary.

Also he was able to get almost all of his games on the different categories so *shrug*

I think so. I was really looking forward to Abby and Ben getting a younger perspective but honestly the stuff they brought to the table was so shallow. I'm not saying they're always had deep conversations about stuff, but I feel like they at least went a bit deeper about the games themselves beyond "I like this" or "This is so good!"

I just miss Austin, so now I listen to Waypoint... but they don't do traditional GOTY because he's gotta be all subversive or some shit.

I'm gonna blame Abby's and Ben's ineptitude on this being their first time (and perhaps their age).

Also, Worst Game turning into Most Disappointing was weird.

In this year's case both worst (that they played) and most disappointing were def one in the same. Andromeda was a special kind of bad.

In Abby's case it definitely felt like "this thing has some objectionable things in it therefore it's all trash" kinda stuff a lot of younger people gravitate toward.

Other than Best World and the end parts of GOTY where Abby just said "I wish Cuphead was higher" like 500x the pods were all pretty good and I understand their choices for the most part. The Best World thing would be easily avoided by just writing out a paragraph or something to describe each category before they hit record. And fistful is right, Mass Effect is both most disappointing and worst game. It's a mess and I'm very sad because of it.

I have this week off so I'm watching their video stuff while catching up on games and other forms of sloth and Brad playing Hitman is still excellent. :lol

Was announced just before E3. The feature was just them dressed up like Uncle Sam/Statue of Liberty and playing vaguely American-themed games. The only episode I saw was Oregon Trail but I guess they also did LA Noire. They did say they planned to do a full playthrough of Metal Wolf Chaos, which I guess they still can do at some point.

Beyond the very surface level, I don't really get it either. But I guess there was a bunch of internet outrage. The Oregon Trail episode is still up (I think) and is pretty entertaining so its worth a watch.

it's hard to even call it a series, this was the only pre-E3 episode



and the second one they put up along with the cancellation of the series statement yesterday :lol

then closed the comments on both videos

Ep2, L.A. Noire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDqk54Rk_Kw
this one's even more just like a quick look of the recent re-release than any kind of kitschy Americana celebration

the series needed VinnyDad anyway so :trumps

The comment section on the LA Noire video is something else...

Quote
Abby and Dan are great and this feeling isn't a reflection on them, but I'm super not in a place to revel in American iconography (ironically or not) considering our government is actively carrying out an agenda of ethnic cleansing. Gonna sit this series out.

That's a bit of a stretch.

Quote
Nationalism still isn't funny, "ironic" or otherwise, and this series is still a terrible idea especially in the here and now. Might as well call this series White Privilege.

I can't roll my eyes far enough back into my head to accurately display my disdain for this post. The entire site might as well be called White Privilege.

Quote
When are you going to get to a game where you genocide an entire country of indigenous peoples so you can steal their land, import millions of slaves, and then help overthrow governments it doesn't like and arms the ones it does like so they can do their own oppression and genocide of peoples.

Oh wait, we live in that reality. This is disgusting content regardless of humor or intent.

What country hasn't committed atrocities in their history?

Pretty much 99% of the games announced at E3 took place in the US. Including games that usually don't (from Ubisoft).

The internet is going to be insufferable during the holiday season.
