Thanks you for all of your hard work Marino! Also looking at the results Zelda swept for all the GOTY options at GB.

Great work Marino! Very fascinating how the science and math of these collective lists turn out. Nice to see the Guests be more favorable for Hi Fi Rush. Meanwhile a little shocking Armored Core 6 got more love from staff than the guests.

Shout Out to Jan for bringing up Beastieball for upcoming 2024 games! That game looks rad combining Pokémon with Volleyball on a Tile Based battle system. Also won't say no to a game made by Wishes Unlimited, whose made Wandersong and Chicory in the past.

Also glad Grubb brought up Cook, Serve, Delicious Re-Mustard! Even if it was for the title alone, that's also one of my most anticipated games as that seems like a pretty significant update to the original CSD.

Amazing top 5 Steve! Gotta be honest the Pikmin 4 and Alan Wake 2 title swaps are my favorites on the list.

Kickass list of games Dan! 2023 was such a banger year and a strong year for both do-ey and talky games.

Great GOTY content as always from the community!

I’ll post a Best Games of 2023 list sometime in the future. However, I never made a list for my favorite games of 2022 until now. Finally got around to making that: https://www.giantbomb.com/profile/mocbucket62/lists/mocbucket62s-waaaaaaaaaaaay-belated-favorite-games/375300/

This is an all-time great Blight Club episode. Maybe the best of what's been a buckwild series already. #loggers

Always great to see Demo Derby back. Also the return of Maggie/Maggle! Even though Dan doesn't remember her ha!

I got so excited and nostalgic seeing Grubb play Rocket Power Beach Bandits. Its not an amazing game by any means but I played that when I was a kid. I used cheat codes to see the remaining levels on the 'Zine. Let me tell you, for a game where the initial plot of the story is "The beach's sand has been stolen!" the plot goes places in a way that's frankly buck wild for Rocket Power. For a show about extreme sports where any character being in the most danger was that one episode where Otto surfed against that egotistic surfer in a severe storm, the villain reveals get crazy. That Eric Golem dude initially acts all Dr. Robotnik sending robots intentionally to kill Team Rocket. But eventually Team Rocket Discover's Golem's base in a volcano where he plans to unleash earthquakes, but that becomes his undoing as the pressure causes Golem to fall into lava and dies. ...ONLY HE DOESN'T DIE AND IS REVEALED TO BE A TERMINATOR AND TEAM ROCKET MUST DESTROY GOLEM'S TRUE ROBOTIC FORM. After that game is over right? WRONG! Turns out the person who made that Golem robot was Eric Golem Jr who built Sr. to take the sand away and was creating a tsunami machine to wipe Ocean Shores off the map. Yeah, Rocket Power Beach Bandits gets freaking nuts with its plot which while I won't say its good, I gotta respect. Its a plot that couldn't be written for an episode of Rocket Power unless it was a dream sequence.

Wow wasn’t expecting my fan art for Game Mess Decides to show up here but hey that’s awesome! Thank you so much for featuring it here!
