Game of the Year 2014: One Last Thing

JV, DLeazy, and Just Blaze connect on this Game of the Year banger.

Hey, one last Game of the Year thing before we sign off for the rest of 2014. JV and DLeazy hooked up in Chicago to lay down a little lyrical magic about the year in video games. Here's what JV had to say about this...

"Instead of doing a typical top 10 list this year, Dave and I drank a bottle of rum and recorded this song for you guys. We think it is pretty stupid and hope you do, too. :-)

...And special thanks to Justin who let us use one of the beats he did for Ballers back-in-the-day. You are, and will always be, one of the most talented producers in Hip Hop.

So there you go. Johnny V and Lang finishing it off with a Just Blaze beat. Classic material.

I just want to say thanks to everyone who contributed to our guest lists this year, and thanks again to Alex for corralling it all. We tried to make some unexpected moves with the lists this year while also sticking to some of the past favorites. Hopefully people dug it. And, of course, thanks to Jason, Drew, and Vinny for handling the production on our videos. Hope everyone liked those, it was fun to put that stuff together. Oh, and thanks to Brad for handling all those podcasts. Those things can be monsters. Thanks to Patrick and his future employer for sticking it out with us over this last stretch here to get the Game of the Year stuff finished up, too. And thanks to you all for listening and watching. Have a great rest of the year, everyone, and let's get it in 2015!

Thank you, Giant Bomb. Thank you so much. Seriously. 2014 was nonstop shit show for me. The smiles you provided were some of the things that kept me going. So glad to be premium.

Thanks again.

Sometimes, this site makes it hard to function in my real life honestly. I come here. I consume something like this, and then burst into excited joy. Then, as I step back from the monitor to share this with others, I quickly realize that the world I live in is not ready for what Giant Bomb has to offer. So I have to harbor my excitement in closeted silence. This is one of those times. Thank You. Also, I hate you.

I've been saying this for ages, but why aren't these guys on the GB payroll, yet? Especially @johnnyv -- I mean, that guy's eventually going to piss Disney off at some point anyway, right? :P
