Vinny mentions it so I have to say it: If you have any interest in horror comics at all, you should check out The Immortal Hulk ongoing run.

It's a soft reboot of the Hulk that casts Bruce Banner as the vessel of dozens of monstrous personalities, the most prominent of which is the Immortal Hulk. You don't need to know anything about Hulk, it touches on a lot of his history in the run, but there are a bunch of fun little homages.

It starts off with body horror and gradually creeps into cosmic horror, casting gamma radiation as a conduit of hellish energy.

It also has some straight up AMAZING art.

@vinny Hey Vinny, just wanted to give you a heads up about the Hamster hidden in the basement of Normany Engineering. He skitters across the floor twice every time you leave and exit. When clicked, Shepard will get the hamster as a pet in her bedroom again.

It's vitally important Alex have that hamster when he does the Citadel DLC. The fate of the entire universe depends on it.

You may want to check back down in the basement area of Engineering again. Your hamster skitters across the floor once every time you go down there so you can grab it and have it as a pet again!

Also, I never noticed before that Jenkins is on that board. That's great.

As someone who never played Animal Crosssing OR Harvest Moon, I found a lot of things in this game frustrating at first. I started out treating it like a Sim game and was looking for immediate efficiency. I'd grumble every time I went to town and found stores closed or citizens locked away in their rooms where I couldn't talk to them. I'd play for a couple in-game days, find out some new piece of information, feel like I had screwed something up, then start all over again, making it a little further each time.

Somewhere along the line, I just stopped caring about total efficiency or trying to plan out a whole year's schedule without all the information. I decided I didn't want to look up FAQs online, compare my game to other people who had played for longer, or any of that jazz. And now I'm totally addicted, taking things one day at a time with Special Agent Jackson.

I'd still like a LITTLE more information surfaced. For example, there's a Scarecrow that keeps pests away from your crops, but it doesn't say anything about how many you need per crop or whatever. In reality, it covers a huge surface area, so one scarecrow can handle an entire field by itself, but (as far as I can tell) you wouldn't know unless you look it up online. Little things like that would be great.

I'm sorry ... but those arguments against Witcher 3 are just plain fucking crazy. It's their list and thats all good and fine, but 90% of their arguments are just plain false.

The truth is Witcher 3 had no business being on their list in the first place. No matter how good a game you, or the industry at large, think it is. Most of the crew didn't play the game even halfway through. You can't expect them to have 100% factual information about a game in which they didn't really care about to begin with.

To place it any higher would have been disingenuous. Having it at 10 is stretching it as is. So take the win, but don't act like it should have skyrocketed to the top.

Brad: "You guys [Austin and Vinny] have a steep hill to climb convincing me to put Life is Strange on the list over Witcher 3 considering you only played 3/5s of the game."

Nobody in the Giant Bomb offices finished Witcher 3, either, as far as I can tell. It doesn't sound like anyone even made it past the halfway mark <.<

I don't think either game should be on the list because nobody finished them.

Best Moment or Sequence begins around 1:45:00 and is the last segment (roughly two hours) of the podcast for those wanting to avoid it.

So no need to constantly jump back and forth to avoid the entire segment.
