WOOT 

YAY

So  close!

AHH

Goooo

Too much content in 5 minutes might explode.  
 
Damn didn't realize this thing was an hour and a half long.

An hour and a half? Jesus Christ.

Rad. 

:O

This week just got 100% better

FUCK. 
 
YES!

ITS BOMBCAST TIME YALL

Oh god they really did spend 12 hours podcasting.

exciting

Wooooooo

Alright, this is why I stayed up.

SHIT IS AWN!

So much bombcast to catch up with!

HOLY SHIT

Nice, I hope it's not too heavy on the spoilers.

nice!!

I never liked that intro :x

yall yall!

"We'll be done in half an hour" 
 
- Jeff Gerstmann, 7 minutes into an hour and a half podcast

hell! it's about time. (yeah. this one again.)

Sweet

best new character? I feel like bayonetta pole dances away with this one.

Sexual eruption.

Aww yeah, been waiting all year for these!!!

Here we go!

" I never liked that intro :x "

Oh God, Brad's outburst at Ryan accusing Mordin of being "like a Nazi" is pretty up there for Favorite Bombcast Moments.

Wow Brad really didn't want Francis York Morgan to get through.

Aw yeah, Christmas remix back in effect.

"Everything in Borderlands looks the same"
 
"Chuck Greene is pretty good"
 
 "I'll whine until Super Meat Boy/Limbo wins"
 
Oh, Brad. I continue to not know how to take you seriously.

" Wow Brad really didn't want Francis York Morgan to get through. "

They picked Mordin on the podcast, but the article says Bayonetta is the best new character.  Make up your minds, guys!

Jesus, an hour and a half? You guys really one-upped yourselves from last year.

Man, Jeff is wildly misinformed when it comes to Red Dead Redemption. Feel like that's going to ge snubbed in a lot of categories because of that. I mean, Marston one step above a silent protagonist? Uh....

I'm glad to see Deadly Premonition get some serious consideration.
 
Wait. How did Mordin win here, but Bayonetta won in the news feature?

Oh man so excited for the rest of the week now. :D

I love the tension around GOTY awards XD

Brad came off sort of dickish in this Podcast. Still love you!

A silent protagonist would be a lot better than Marston.  He was almost as much of a hypocritical, holier than thou asshole as Luis from The Ballad of Gay Tony. "

weird that Mordin won in the cast but Bayonetta won in the write up
confusion?

I love Jeff but seriously fuck him for his RDR hate.  So unnecessary.

Best new character category gave me a gastric ulcer. John Marston's character arc was sold short, way short. You don't do him justice if you reduce him to his dead pan reactions. That's only one aspect of his interaction with NPCs and the events he comments on. He's an unbelievably rich character who's animation alone (body language) sometimes speaks volumes. He's NOT a stand-in for the audience but a very defined and amazingly written character through which you experience the story.
 
I like Bayonetta's design and the madhouse that is her world but as far as personality goes she doesn't hold a candle to John Marston.
 
Oh, almost forgot: imho

" I'm glad to see Deadly Premonition get some serious consideration.  Wait. How did Mordin win here, but Bayonetta won in the news feature? "

I very much enjoyed Bayonetta but I wasn't really impressed with the character of Bayonetta. She functions well in her crazy world but removed from that there doesn't seem to be much to her. Shows what I know.
