ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER'S TOP 10 GAMES OF 2012

ZMF PULLS NO PUNCHES AND NEVER TURNS OFF CAPSLOCK FOR HIS TOP 10 GAMES OF 2012.

No Caption Provided

ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER DRINKS KESSLER AND IS BANNED FOR LIFE FROM THE GIANT BOMB COMMUNITY FOR NINE HUNDRED COUNTS OF AGGRAVATED OWNAGE. HE LEAVES BITCHES MEWLING IN HIS WAKE AND IF YOU DONT BELIEVE THAT SHIT THEN CHECK THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW

ZODIAC IS A FORMER RESIDENT OF DETROIT BUT THESE DAYS HE ROLLS DOLO FROM CITY TO CITY LIKE A FUCKING DERELICT IN HIS LINCOLN. SO WHEN YOU SEE THAT BLACK BATTLESHIP ROAMING THE STREETS WITH AXEL F BLASTING OUT THE FUCKING WINDOWS YOULL KNOW THAT THE ZODIAC HAS COME TO YOUR TOWN. KNEEL

IN THE MEANTIME PAY HOMAGE AT TWITTER.COM/ZODIAC_MF

10. MIDWAY ARCADE ORIGINS

THIS COMPILATION IS NINETY-FIVE PERCENT BULLSHIT AND IT ACTS LIKE THE HD VERSIONS THAT WERE ON XBOX LIVE LIKE SEVEN FUCKING YEARS AGO NEVER EXISTED BUT IT FEATURES THE GAME OF KINGS JOUST AND IT IS NOW THE ONLY WAY TO ACQUIRE THAT ALLTIME CLASSIC ON XBOX 360. CAN YOU DROP THY OSTRICHS BALLS IN THY OPPONENTS FACE BEFORE HE DOES THE SAME TO THEE? NOPE. YOU PROBABLY CANT

9. SLEEPING DOGS

TAKE GRAND THEFT AUTO ADD SOME AWESOME CHINESE DUDES AND REPLACE THE WACK GUNPLAY WITH TOTAL FUCKING HAND-TO-HAND BRUTALITY AND OWNAGE AND YOU GOT SLEEPING DOGS. I MEAN YEAH IT AINT REVOLUTIONARY OR ANYTHING BUT ITS STILL A BLAST AND I CAN NOT STRESS IT ENOUGH: IT IS IMMENSELY SATISFYING TO BEAT THE HOLY GODDAMN FUCKING SHIT OUT OF PEOPLE IN THIS GAME. ITS LIKE BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM IF BATMAN BEAT FUCKERS TO DEATH WITH WHATEVERS HANDY LIKE HE SHOULD. ATTENTION VOLITION: STEAL THIS SHIT

8. DEFCON: EVERYBODY DIES

YEAH THIS GAME CAME OUT IN 2006 SO ITS KINDA FUCKED UP IM LISTING IT AS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES OF 2012 BUT THERES A COUPLE OF POINTS TO CONSIDER HERE: NUMBER ONE I DO WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT AND NUMBER TWO IF YOU HAVENT PLAYED IT ITS NEW TO YOU MOTHERFUCKER. BESIDES GIANT BOMB WAS STILL SWIMMING AROUND IN JEFF GERSTMANNS BALLSACK WHEN DEFCON CAME OUT SO IT AINT LIKE I COULDVE NAMED IT BACK THEN EVEN IF I HAD PLAYED IT. POINT IS THIS GAME IS SHEER FUCKING APOCALYPTIC OWNAGE NOT TO MENTION A MASTERPIECE IN MOOD AND HORROR AND WORLDWIDE DESTRUCTION AND IT CAN BE HAD FOR A PITTANCE IN 2012. AND THAT SHITS BETTER THAN NEW. SO FOR ANYBODY LIKE ME WHO FOUND THE COLD WAR TO BE A HUGETIME DISAPPOINTMENT WITH A LOT OF BUILDUP AND NO PAYOFF THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO SEE THE NUCLEAR ARMAGEDDON WE WERE PROMISED INSTEAD OF A LOT OF ANTICLIMACTIC PERESTROIKA HORSESHIT

7. THE WITCHER 2: ASSASSINS OF KINGS

WELL GODDAMN THIS SHIT WOULD BE BEST IN SHOW AT THE FLAGRANT BUSH AWARDS BUT I NEVER GOT AROUND TO FINISHING IT SO ITS ONLY NUMBER SEVEN HERE. BUT MAN I GOTTA SAY WHEN THIS GAME CAME OUT FLASHING MORE BEAVER THAN A 1982 HUSTLER I FIGURED THOSE FUCKING MUMMIES AT THE NEWS NETWORKS WOULD BE FANNING THEMSELVES FOR WEEKS AND WHIPPING ALL THE OLD FUCKS UP INTO A FUCKING RAGE. BUT NOBODY REALLY CARED AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF DAMN BETWEEN THAT AND THE SUPREME COURT RULING AGAINST ASSHOLE IN ASSHOLE V. ENTERTAINMENT MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION MAYBE WEVE FINALLY TURNED A FUCKING CORNER AS A CULTURE HERE. THEN SOME MODCUT DIPSHIT SHOT UP A GRADE SCHOOL AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW CNN IS REPORTING THAT STARCRAFT TOLD HIM TO DO IT AND CONGRESSBITCHES ARE TALKING ABOUT VIDEOGAME HEARINGS AGAIN. ONE STEP FORWARD TWO STEPS THE FUCK BACK

6. HITMAN: ABSOLUTION

IM SURE THE HITMAN STORYLINE IS FASCINATING AND ALL BUT ILL BE HONEST WITH YOU NO MATTER HOW FAR I GET INTO THE GAME I KEEP GOING BACK TO THAT SECOND LEVEL WHERE OUR MAN 47 WHACKS SOME JUMPED UP PUNK WHO CALLS HIMSELF THE KING OF CHINATOWN DESPITE THE FACT THAT HES JUST A LOWRENT MOTHERFUCKER IN A NINETY DOLLAR SUIT WHO DOESNT EVEN FIGURE INTO THE PLOT IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. AND LET ME TELL YOU THIS PIECE OF SHIT HAS DIED A THOUSAND DEATHS AT MY HANDS: IVE SHOT HIM IVE BLOWN HIM UP IVE POISONED HIM IVE DUMPED HIS STUPID ASS DOWN A MANHOLE IVE CRUSHED HIM WITH SOME LIKE PALLETS OR SOME FUCKING SHIT HELL I EVEN BLUDGEONED HIM TO DEATH WITH A FUCKING BOTTLE IN FRONT OF AN ARMY OF COPS LIKE DO SOMETHING. BUT MY PERSONAL FAVORITE WAS FOLLOWING HIM INTO AN ALLEY AND FILLETING HIS FUCKING ASS WITH A SUSHI KNIFE BEFORE TOSSING HIM IN A FUCKING DUMPSTER AND SAUNTERING AWAY LIKE I JUST WON SIX BUCKS AT KENO. AND I DID IT ALL DRESSED LIKE A COMPLETE FUCKING ASSHOLE

5. FAR CRY 3

I FUCKED UP A SHARK

4. DISHONORED

AS ANY DUMBASS CAN PLAINLY SEE I FIND THAT GAMES WHERE YOU STALK MOTHERFUCKERS AND MURDER THEM ALL UNAWARES ARE ALWAYS ACES. THIS ONES NO EXCEPTION BUT THERES EVEN MORE SHIT TO RECOMMEND IT INCLUDING AN AWESOME MAGIC SYSTEM AND A FRESH SETTING AND HITGIRL AND CERSEI LANNISTER. AND THAT MASK FUCKING OWNS. BUT WHILE THERES A LOT OF WAYS TO APPROACH THIS GAME AND THE DESIGNERS TRIED TO INCORPORATE A COST TO OWNAGE LETS FACE FUCKING THE FACTS HERE THERES ONLY ONE WAY TO PLAY: HIGH CHAOS LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER. I FIGURE FUCK IT THEY STARTED IT

3. XCOM: ENEMY UNKNOWN

THIS IS BASICALLY LIEUTENANT GORMAN THE VIDEOGAME BECAUSE IT WILL LEAVE YOU SHIVERING LIKE A SHELLSHOCKED BITCH WATCHING HALF YOUR FUCKING SQUAD DIE MISERABLE FUCKED UP DEATHS BECAUSE YOU SUCK AT PLANNING SHIT. I NEVER WOULDVE GUESSED THAT TURNBASED GAMEPLAY COULD BE SO INTENSE BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT: IRONMAN MODE IS NO FUCKING JOKE. FOR REAL YOU GOTTA HAVE BALLS LIKE BILLY SQUIER TO PLAY THAT SHIT FOR ANY EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. BUT NO MATTER HOW YOU PLAY MAKE SURE YOU NAME YOUR SOLDIERS BEFORE MARCHING THEM INTO BULLSHIT ALIEN HELL. LET THEM GET THEIR COCKS KNOCKED IN THE DIRT WITH SOME FUCKING DIGNITY

2. THE WALKING DEAD

EVERYBODYS ALREADY TORQUING THE SNORKEL OVER THIS ONE SO ILL KEEP IT SHORT: TEAM KENNY. CHARACTER OF THE FUCKING YEAR

1. BORDERLANDS 2

GAME OF THE FUCKING YEAR WITHOUT QUESTION. NONSTOP ENTERTAINMENT AND OWNAGE BY THE POUND WITH HUGELY MEMORABLE CHARACTERS BRINGING LAUGHS TO SPARE. I MEAN HOLY SHIT IMAGINE THAT: A VIDEOGAME THATS FUNNIER THAN YOUR AVERAGE FUCKING SALLY FORTH STRIP. AND THATS JUST ICING ON THE CAKE BECAUSE THIS IS A TOTAL FUCKING MASTERPIECE IN ALMOST EVERY REGARD. MORE THAN THAT CHECK OUT CLASS ACT GEARBOX SUPPORTING THIS SHIT WITH THE KILLER DLC AND THE REGULAR FREE BONUS ITEMS AND EVEN THROWING IN A MOVING TRIBUTE TO A FAN. THAT MY MOTHERFUCKERS IS HOW YOU TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS. BUT ALL THAT RESPECTABLE SHIT ASIDE THE RAW FUCKING FUN FACTOR ON THIS THING IS THROUGH THE ROOF. HELL THERES AN ENTIRE QUEST DEVOTED SOME FUCKING IMBECILE ASKING YOU TO SHOOT HIM IN THE FACE. I WAS LIKE HEY HAVE IT YOUR WAY MOTHERFUCKER. AND THE MULTIPLAYER HERE IS THE BEST COOP YOURE GONNA FIND. FOUR PLAYERS AGAINST THE BNK3R ON WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD IS PRACTICALLY A RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE. I SAY WITH EVERY FUCKING CONFIDENCE THAT ONLY BEATOFFS DONT LIKE THIS GAME. AND WHILE IM ANOINTING THIS SHIT IT ID LIKE TO MAKE SPECIAL NOTE TO TINY TINA: AWESOME CHARACTER BENT ON TORTURE AND REVENGE AND BLOWING FUCKERS UP BUT THE REAL STORY THERE IS ASHLY BURCH WHO DOES HER VOICE. YEAH I MEAN THAT CHICA MIGHT BE OLD NEWS TO ALL YOU GAMERCHICK FETISH HAVING CHIPHEAD MOTHERFUCKERS GUNZERKING INTO A KLEENEX EVERY TIME SOME Z-LIST SNIZZ PRETENDS TO LIKE VIDEOGAMES BUT I DONT FOLLOW INTERNET BULLSHIT SO SHE WAS A FUCKING REVELATION OVER HERE. FUCK YOUTUBE PUT THAT LITTLE HOTNESS ON REAL TELEVISION. OR MY LAP

DISHONORABLE MENTION: MASS EFFECT 3

No one has really answered that question of what they find appealing about him satisfactorily yet.

because no one has an interest in dissecting their sense of humor to the satisfaction of a guy who doesn't know why "SAUNTERING AWAY LIKE I JUST WON SIX BUCKS AT KENO" is fuckin hilarious

I'm not really sure where you get off thinking that just because you waste a ton of time on this website doing nothing that it somehow entitles you to a soapbox like the one provided to the top 10 lists. Not only that, but your butthurt pretension that it somehow validates the opinions of anyone who has one is frankly fucked up and lacking perspective.

The top 10 lists have and always will come from the people the Giant Bomb staff likes or finds funny. Their friends in the industry as well as personalities like Zodiac Motherfucker. In his case, the crew likes Zodiac Motherfucker. Therefore, he gets a list.

You can whine that you don't get one despite the fact that you feel entitled to it for... what? Editing a wiki? Doing blog posts? Writing user reviews?

Come on, son.

Sorry, I missed this one. No, I don't think any user is entitled to a list. I also haven't used the wiki since the site began. Never made a blog post, or wrote a user review. I'm not your son either, so keep the snark to yourself.

@MattSchwabby said:

Just because you are an active contributor to anything doesn't mean your opinion is any good, or that anyone cares about it, and in what reality does being the biggest fan of something entitle you to be a feature of it? That's like saying someone who gets Packers season tickets should be able to fill in for Aaron Rodgers.

Just to be clear, I think no user should have a featured top 10. Let alone one that can't even post on the site. Again, it's just an opinion. Some people clearly like this guy, so for those people this is GREAT!

So by that logic, Max Temkin, Greg Kasavin and Will Smith shouldn't be able to have lists either if they are users of the site?

this is perhaps the best GOTY list for me, even though my own sentiments about the games listed are very different.

explanations like, "controls were clunky" or "gameplay was great" mean very little to a prospective buyer, since so many extraneous factors are involved in arriving at those personal conclusions. eg. what system were you running, what mood were you in, did the game engine make the 0.01% error, did you have a bowel movement that day, etc. honestly, Giant Bomb GOTY podcasts revealed to me just how many technical problems Brad encounters while the others sometimes argue they themselves did not have any difficulties. and sometimes, it's someone else entirely whose save didn't carry. it's a lottery. it's like hearing someone say, "oh, Italy was terrible. it was so hot, and my bags got stolen..." when you had a blast, three months ago.

so, ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER listing this like a tourist brochure is refreshing and actually helpful. he's selling it. we see intriguing snap shots and videos, and hear exciting stories about a place, we want to go there ourselves.

@Animasta: Yeah, no. No one here is trembling. If anything, we're puzzled by why some people find this guy so appealing when he goes out of his way to craft this idiotic, repulsive online persona. The last time I brought up this question, someone linked me to a pair of ZMF-produced Youtube videos that were little more than short clips with someone getting murdered completely at random and expecting me to "get it".

There was nothing for me to get, aside from the notion that ZMF is either so steeped in his online persona that it's become his lifestyle, or he is legitimately sociopathic and people find this entertaining for some reason.

No one has really answered that question of what they find appealing about him satisfactorily yet. More to the point, I'm not going to argue against the staff on this, but it does seem weird that he keeps getting invited back for this when even the staff agrees that he should be banned from the site's community features.

@august: well, that's probably the only non xbox game on the list, sorry but the all caps lock thing makes this list a TL;DR. i came here just for the comments anyway, but i do know that in last year's list the fact that he only plays on his 360 was pointed out clearly.

Though I think Mass Effect 3 was a good game for it's gameplay, I completely agree with this dishonorable mention. Mass Effect 3 was overall a disappointment and it's about time someone called it out and stop making excuses for it.

He is actually a great writer, should turn off the caps lock and do some freelance writing for GB. It's a shame the Mods had to ban him last year.

I think this is where the divide is. The people who like this guy put him on some unquestionable pedestal as though he simply deserves that position. Whereas I see him only as an ex-user of the site who was banned for being an unreasonable dick. Something which is against the rules. Everyone else on the list is in some way involved with the gaming industry. They have connections and even friendships with the staff.

I was not saying people SHOULD have a featured list simply for contributing to the site. I just think it's weird this guy who has nothing to do with Giant Bomb (other than being an ex-user) can be given a feature spot.

It ultimately comes down to how you view this guy I suppose.

Ahhhhhahaha. Beautiful. Anything that annoys the staid motherfuckers that permeate the Giant Bomb 'community' is wonderful to me. Thank you, Giant Bomb. Between all the great lists, the Bombcasts, and the truly excellent video content, this GOTY has been the best Christmas present I could ask for.

I don't get the appeal of ZMF even though angry white guy is something I enjoy (Lewis Black) but his style comes off as trying so goddamn hard to be angry and edgy that it's off-putting.

It's also great that he's banned because its clear that he can't function in a community that doesn't conform to his personality. I don't care either way if he gets a list on GB because I can just ignore it like I have. Came here for the shitshow that would be the comments section.

But what I find hilarious is that the same people who are hating on ZMF haters are the same people who lost their shit at Patrick's list and/or person. Or can't believe that Brad would put ME3 at 1 or have Frog Fractions in his list at all. Or lose their shit when he dies in a QL.

I guess people here are big fucking hypocrites, surprise!

You can whine that you don't get one despite the fact that you feel entitled to it for... what? Editing a wiki? Doing blog posts? Writing user reviews?

Come on, son.

Sorry, I missed this one. No, I don't think any user is entitled to a list. I also haven't used the wiki since the site began. Never made a blog post, or wrote a user review. I'm not your son either, so keep the snark to yourself.

Just because you are an active contributor to anything doesn't mean your opinion is any good, or that anyone cares about it, and in what reality does being the biggest fan of something entitle you to be a feature of it? That's like saying someone who gets Packers season tickets should be able to fill in for Aaron Rodgers.

Just to be clear, I think no user should have a featured top 10. Let alone one that can't even post on the site. Again, it's just an opinion. Some people clearly like this guy, so for those people this is GREAT!

So by that logic, Max Temkin, Greg Kasavin and Will Smith shouldn't be able to have lists either if they are users of the site?

What logic are you using? They're friends with the crew in real life... I think there is a clear difference between 'friend of the site' and 'user of the site'. The three you mentioned are in the first, you can have a user account, but you're a friend of the site.

@Animasta: Yeah, no. No one here is trembling. If anything, we're puzzled by why some people find this guy so appealing when he goes out of his way to craft this idiotic, repulsive online persona. The last time I brought up this question, someone linked me to a pair of ZMF-produced Youtube videos that were little more than short clips with someone getting murdered completely at random and expecting me to "get it".

There was nothing for me to get, aside from the notion that ZMF is either so steeped in his online persona that it's become his lifestyle, or he is legitimately sociopathic and people find this entertaining for some reason.

No one has really answered that question of what they find appealing about him satisfactorily yet. More to the point, I'm not going to argue against the staff on this, but it does seem weird that he keeps getting invited back for this when even the staff agrees that he should be banned from the site's community features.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humor should get you started there, bud.

mods banned him, not staff. He's funny because he is an asshole. It's that simple really. He kinda reminds me of those 'powerthrist' videos on youtube. It's funny because it's kinda weird.

Man, this list was super dumb in all the worst ways. Oh well. Looking forward to a new year of games coverage. Also kudos to everyone expressing their opinion on this goofball in a clear and concise manner without being rude or hateful to other users.
