So we know that they said there would be a game of the year deliberation Bombcast... What do you hope it'll be like this year? I'm hoping it's like 8 hours long and they get into giant arguments about titles... where the verdict is split 50/50 and Vinny has to box Jeff, live on air, to see who wins. Last years format was really great and I'm super pumped about it this time. Thoughts on what it might be like? Guests? Does it need guests? probably not - just the 4, in a small room, arguing about the legitimacy of Game Room.
GOTY Bombcast -Woot!
After last year, I'm actually really excited to see what they do. Looks like it's gonna be even crazier.
That's the way I see this site going. Gradually getting crazier and crazier until visiting is like some kind of frightening fever dream where Jonathan Frakes is constantly trying to lick your face.

" 2-4 hours is enough thank you. This year there won't be much arguing. Mass Effect 2. End. List. "lol, dream on. RDR says hi.
I think it'll be a long argument between Jeff, Ryan and Vinny over ME2 and RDR while Brad just sits there yelling Starcraft 2.
It'll be five minutes long, and they'll decide on Deadly Premonition.
Nah, as much as I like Deadly Premonition, it's probably going to be either RDR or ME2.
" @Gizmo: It will win and it deserves to. Cry more "It really doesnt, there have been far better games out this year forinstance RDR.
Personally i think it'll be a split between RDR and starcraft but i also thing that arcade games like SMB might be in there too.
I hope the bombcast is around the three hour mark again.
I dunno, in the Undead Nightmare Quick Look, Brad pretty much said that RDR was his favorite game of the year..." I think it'll be a long argument between Jeff, Ryan and Vinny over ME2 and RDR while Brad just sits there yelling Starcraft 2. "
I just wanna hear Jeff's reasoning for hating RDR when that and mass effect 2 are most likely the finalists
" @Belmont_Shadow said:On one of the recent bombcasts Jeff seemed to be staking out his position for ME2 pretty early, but I'm curious just how hard Brad will fight for Starcraft. On their first GOTY podcast Brad backed off his first choice of Banjo Kazooie pretty quickly when he realized he was the only one in its corner. Also, Jeff seemed pretty down on RDR recently, I thought I recall him saying some unflattering things about the Vanilla game when they were talking about the zombie expansion." @Gizmo: It will win and it deserves to.

" @CptChiken said:yeah brad did back off pretty quick, but hes much more into starcraft than he was banjo kazooie." @Belmont_Shadow said:On one of the recent bombcasts Jeff seemed to be staking out his position for ME2 pretty early, but I'm curious just how hard Brad will fight for Starcraft.

" I don't particularly care about the outcome of their deliberations, more about the discussion and content that surrounds those decisions. Can't wait for it all to go up, should be fun! "Same here. I hope the process is fair and the discussions are entertaining and informative.

Judging from Vinny's tweeted pic, yeah they do." ... It seems they're planning something special for us. Exciting. "

I think this might be the Ice T thing they had cooking a while back. Ice T's Super Dope Game Of The Year presented by Ice T.
I think in terms of being a game that everyone can stand behind, Mass Effect 2 is the only game that A) everyone played, and B) everyone had a high opinion of. Jeff didn't care for the beginning of RDR so never got past it, Brad's not played the back half of the Assassin's Creed series, Ryan's excitement about Starcraft is pretty minimal, etc. I think it will come down to how comfortable the team would be putting a game that three of the four can get behind at a GotY, even if the fourth either is indifferent or actively dislikes it. If they aren't, I can't think of any game (other than MAYBE Pac-Man Championship Edition DX, but they all had some criticisms for the game after the initial high wore off) other than ME2 that they all played and were blown away by.
" I'll probably skip GotY bombcast because Mass Effect 2 is coming to PS3 in about a month "Me too, 'cause I haven't played Red Dead yet.
