Game of the Year 2012: Day One Recap

This is awesome.

Oh you wacky funsters

That opening was better than anything The Office has done in at least 3 years.

Love the CBS watermark in the corner.

I was wondering how they were going to top last year's PC FMV-fest (which was one of the greatest things I've ever seen on or off the internet), especially with the move. I needn't have worried, it seems. This is ESPECIALLY impressive with the smaller background team.

I love this show, can't wait for the DVD box set.

I hate it when Brad, or anyone else, says Default Male Shepard is better than any Custom Shep.  I know different strokes for different folks but i can't help it. 
 
If you to the ME Faces Database there are some pretty decent models there.

Shit like this is why I love Giant Bomb with all my heart (no homo, well, maybe a little)

this is the funniest shit ever. i have no words

Fucking awesome. And I think it sold a copy of Leviathan.

I love Patrick.

I just wanted to say that.

Once again Giantbomb proves that they have a brilliant mix of creativity, talent and genuinely likeable guys running the show. Game of the year is once again brilliantly executed..

Thanks for this bright spot in a christmas that is a little depressing for me this time around...

This makes Vinny an effin genius trumping all my expectations!

i cant believe they left out this dlc. I skipped into the middle of the video where he jumps into the titan, and if they just showed the cutscenes by itself no fight or anything, it would have been like the best part of the game. Learning all that stuff really does change everything.

Holy shit this is incredible! You've outdone yourselves, GB!

This is AMAZING! Why did no one tell me this was so amazing!?

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! thx guys!!

Whats the Music at the Start called ???????????????????????????????????????????

Oh, Giant Bomb.

Never change!

EVER!!!!

Stunning, fucking stunning

Holy shit, this is amazing.

AMAZING.

Woooooooow. Grand stuff.

And that first part? Fucking hilarious.

Patrick especially.

I don't think this has really been said that much, but Ryan is a good actor.

That

Was

Amazing!

the cbs interactive building isn't very far from my office so thats kinda weird

Well that was amazing and I was all on board until they decided to show "brads favorite game"

Oh jeez. Out of all the things I could have expected, none of it was Giantbomb parodying an NBC TV SERIES.

This was awesome except for Mass Effect 3.

I feel the same way & may be one of the few people that thinks each game got much worse since the first. Maybe I just miss driving the Mako around all the planets too much...

I think after watching all of them, I might like The Workplace the most. Just an absolutely perfect parody of its inspiration, really funny, and it was actually about game of the year stuff. The others are amazing too; I just can't get over how perfect this one is.

I dunno, CollectShun was pretty damn good.

@blueinferno: Oh wow, I totally forgot about that one for a bit. That's probably my second favorite then. It gets bonus points in that it was about Jeff in real life (but it's not about GOTY stuff either).

It's really cool that I'm having trouble picking my favorite because they're all so good. Kudos, GB.

... am I the only one having problems playing the vids?? - they´re not even loading!! HELP!! :(

MOTHER OF GOD

;_;

Oh my god, I'm just starting to watch all of these on my Roku. You guys are AMAZING!!!

Schlock ! schlock I say!

I finally listened to all the Podcasts so I'm going back and watching the videos now.

Just amazing. It's incredible how well you do the parody and yet it's still funny in it's own right to. And working out a TV show within the TV show ... so much work clearly went into this.

I'm having the same issue. What helps, but is not always guaranteed to work is either messing with the quality or switching between progressive and streaming or a surefire way is to just find them on Youtube. I think the ad system is broken.

@Godlyawesomeguy: For a moment there I thought I was the only one having this problem... thanks!! The YouTube solution worked!! - Too bad it STILL isnt working here!! :(

This is delightful.

Jeff does that disappointed dead stare waaaaay to well.

This is still my favorite of all of the recap videos.

Outstanding.

The combat in ME3 is more fun on insane difficulty. Very much like Halo in that sense. It is a different game to play on legendary compared to normal.

I just realized that I am pretty sure that black sphere is in ME1. You can find something like that on one of the planets.

Just amazing

Holy shit, I love you guys.

so long as Jeff doesnt get what he wants...stare.....Classic!! lol

It's funny, the "male human" form that Leviathan takes looks almost EXACTLY like my created Shepard, so I originally thought they just mirrored your guy.

Brad and Vinny, keep on REPRESENTING! But that said, I reeeeally do disagree that this was added after the ending controversy. I think this was originally supposed to be in the game if for no other reason than: your squad talks a LOT. Even in Shadow Broker or Overlord when your squad comes with you, they're almost always silent (because they didn't want to have to record all the different permutations) but in this one...yeah, your squad is as chatty as ever. So that is shitty.

How is it possible that Ryan sweats through everything?
