Here Are All of Giant Bomb's 2012 Game of the Year Features in One Handy Spot

We here at Giant Bomb hope you had yourselves a fun, safe, hopefully video game filled holiday break, and that during the break, you were able to check out our myriad features pertaining to the best (and occasionally worst) games of the 2012. But just in case you missed out on a few of 'em, we thought we'd collect every single piece of GOTY content we produced this year and link them right here, for your convenience. We do this because we're really very nice gentlemen, considerate of your feelings and your time. All that asshole bluster you see in our videos every week? All for show. Deep down, we're all super sweet.

Well, except for Ryan, but you probably already knew that.

Anyhoo, enjoy the content, if you haven't already!

Jeff Gerstmann's Disappointed Face, Forever

Good

:O

I just realized Patrick has no jawline. It's just like, cheeks, chin... neck.

All of that and more.

Fantastic

I'd actually missed that Will Smith even did a top 10, glad he could take some time away from marketing After Earth to get a list in!!

The face at the end just made me laugh a little too loud at work. Awesome sauce.

all the GOTY stuff was awesome this year, loved the show parodies, and the millions of hours of podcasts... maybe I just have no life but I was left wanting even more. Bring on 2013.

Well that's pretty handy.

More of those Gifs please haha, priceless!

Well done, guys! But seriously, no "Twilight Zone" parody?

Nice, I just realized i havent heard all of the podcasts, how did this happen?

This is incredibly helpful.

Now I can delete all those bookmarks I have and just use one. Thanks!

I was hoping you'd literally copy/pasted all the content in one place, like some insane madman.

Nice though still disappointed that Dave didn't get a video or at least a top 5 (or 10) list up for this year. Know he's been busy but still missed seeing his favorites this year.

These are still funny when viewed multiple times. CollectSHUN and The Workplace were perfect.

Also, a great excuse to have Brad's amazing :o face in the homepage.

I wish there were some outtakes :(

This'll be useful for next week when I finally have some usable internet to obtain all content I missed.

Cheers!

Lack of Erik Wolpaw's top10 list makes me sad :(

Love the gif

Indeed. My tastes usually line up more with him than anyone else, so it would have been nice to see. Though it wouldn't mean much if he hadn't actually been able to play anything this year.

Don't you go judging the private eye! He works homicide!

I want the new site to launch as smoothly as possible so Dave can get back to Flight Clubs, Random PC games and the return of the Eastern Bloc Game of the Year category in the 2013 game of the year awards.

I'm glad Jeff had the foresight to suggest doing this.

That's what hunk does to a man.

Let's go, Butt Face.

GOTY Feature this year was god damn amazing, every one of those parodies was spot on, though i felt like collectSHUN was maybe a little to real. JEFF WHY DO YOU HAVE 3 COPIES OF SAMURAI SHOWDOWN.

Someone make a eucalyptus fueled pod racer gif!

I'll definitely rewatch the fake tv shows, but I'll skip the gameplay parts. I'm just tired of watching those games...

Welcome, to the CBS family.

Where da JV at?

Very handy.

Are there any plans for a full listing of cast and credits for the recap videos? I figure there are only like 7 or 8 names that fill all the key roles but a precise run down would be nice. The whole production was so good that I think everyone involved should get theirs. In association with CBS Interactive. A Vincent Caravella film...

Great to see all of the awesome content compiled into one single area. Hopefully the audio at the end of Day Four Recap was fixed.

I need more Gifs, especially more of The RAP Man.

Holy shit these show segments are amazing.

Amazing job guys, loved every minute of it

OMG that would be amazing! If you guys have any outtakes, please post them!

David Jaffe's daughter declaring she is seven is the video highlight of the year.

Dunk

You're my nightmare.

Good. It's really hard to find stuff for previous years, because it's so divided into different articles/videos/bombcasts.

Yo, can we all stop and give some love to Vinny, Drew, and all the crew who put these videos together? They did an amazing job, and were clearly busting their asses behind the scenes for weeks to get this stuff up. Well done.

Just disappointed that they couldn't find some way to have a constant thru line of Ryan saying or referencing his desire for Jeff to not have his way as presented in "The Workplace". I'm sure I saw a moment where it could have come up in all of them.

@Jeff: @Vinny: @Brad: @Ryan: @drewbert: @patrickklepek: @snide:

Bravo to each and every one of you guys for doing this, it was damn good fun! As well as also being a bit interesting on the subject of which video games were good in 2012, I suppose.

@Foggen: @Atom: @zkillz: @pancakehumper:

I've been cutting together just the skit bits from these videos for us duders to watch at our leisure. Here's the first two parts right here! Right now!

You could pick any one of those spoof shows to continue on with and it would be incredible! Honestly, I've always loved these guys (back at gamespot to arrow pointing down :) to what this site has become). Quite frankly I cant imagine a world in which we didn't have Giant Bomb. The personal touch to everything these guys do it what keeps me here and will continue to do so! I would watch (and pay for) a webisode series for any of those shows (particularly liked Roomies and the Cop Show). Anyways enough gushing over this site. Best of luck to the crew in 2013 and keep the good times coming!

Great job all!!

GET HUNK MOTHERFUCKERS.

Well F me in the A. Made a huge thread with everything GOTY long before this one turned up. I feel empty now.
