Game of the Year 2013: Day Four Recap

Oh god, the 2000's sucked.

Where's the Dorito and Mountain Dew? ;)

That is amazing.

Buncha shills.

2 BROKE GIRLS DIDN'T PREMIERE UNTIL SEPTEMBER OF 2011! WHY IS IT IN THIS 2000S VIDEO!

FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!1!

My god, its full of hashtags

So this is basically a Giant Bomb parody.

This website is so goddamn strange.

..... I think I want to play Dota2.... but I seriously hate the community, even if people lie to me, I don't care, it's fun to just run up and stab something no matter what. Valve has does a better job just incentivizing group play better but this just feels like all the worst elements of MMOs. "Play your class" still is being said in this game. Valve can make games for deaf and blind people better then this, the whole chat window is a mess, everything is such a problem.

I'd give it another shot because I trust Brad opinion.

These openers are so fucking good. #GB2013GOTY

With these coming out everyday, it's like Christmas isnt even over!

Day 5 should be a dystopian fear surveillance state and Giant Bomb is a pirate broadcast with black helicopters full of thought police hovering above. Brad should be a brain in a jar with a hologram hovering above it.

Day 6 should be a post apocalyptic ruin in a pile of scrap metal with everyone eating rats after checking them with a geiger counter and drinking dead-water from a still shaped like a coffin. It should get darker as they speak because there is no AC electricity to power lights and everyone would glow in the dark. Brad would be in the flesh again but would have an eyepatch and a scar and be the commander of the underground. Jeff should have a robot-hand. Drew should have two heads one of which just says durrrrrr a lot.

Day 7 is the cyber future where everyone is a glowing face floating around a tron like vector universe and flesh is gone, there is only code. Humanity has evolved into being a videogame.

I have a feeling they don't like Brad's game of the year that much.

@mercury45:

I did hear Brad say something about a "Cyborg Rorie"

Day 05 needs to be some kind of mash up of Strange Days and Demolition Man. Just because.

Also, you guys totally missed an opportunity here to keep the gag running:

Don't miss a secOnd of the mosT watched award show in the nAtion.

@dberg: I don't like LoL's art style because it is too sharp and the color palette is too broad and distracting. Valve on the other hand, with a more simpler color palette and cleaner art style that clearly defines two sides and also provides subtle hints about the mechanics of the game, creates something more sophisticated while keeping its focus on the competitive side of the game without compromising visual quality.

However, saying that LEAGUE OF LEGENDS has the visual quality that would be expected from Valve over their premier title Dota 2?! You are going to need more reasons to back up that statement, buddy, because the general consensus that many agree with is that League of Legends has a generic "fantasy" look that many games use including many up and coming Dota-like ARTS's like Dawngate and HOTS, while Dota 2 has a much more sophisticated look utilizing the much more superior Source Engine to whatever crap League uses and uses better assets and character designs that are much more "mature" in the sense that many female heroes don't look like they are designed to appeal to horny teens.

That's just fantastic.

Ugh why couldn't Infinite just be more of the first hour.

A midas on a windrunner???

Matt Rorie!

@sharkman: Oh god he's right.

Drama Llama!!! <3
Heferrmmmm aka H4nn1

I thought Day 3's was the best recap, but this one takes the cake. (for now)

Usually I think they do pretty good with the adds, but that was a bit much.

The GOTY theme gets better every fucking year. Excellent work, you guys.

Jeff is wearing the t-shirt he wore on the Kane & Lynch debacle review. Subtle, yet awesome, touch.

Look at this:

I get the feeling Brad made up those other games on his list and spent all year playing DOTA 2.

Guys I.... I think I might try DOTA?

Bradley is at it again with his Dota 2 obsession.

I love the Rorie part.

*points at item* "I mean look at this!"

"I'm looking Brad! and HOLY SHIT!!!"

hahahahah

Brad needs to learn how to sell a game. start from the beginning. don't start out with 'ooh, here's this awesome thing: a camera swoop' whut?

What's awesome about dota is it's team deathmatch like any other game but overhead with abilities. quake meets warcraft 3.

They captured the annoying aspects of the "Age of the Internet".

I love how they just trans-scripted the P4ER. And just added the look of a person going through the worst trama of their life. Which is funny, because when you watch the P4ER, which I have done, 10 or 12 times. It sounded like they had fun, but i guess 20/20 is hindsite.

Man, only if they knew what "Olina popa" really means :-P

The first time I experienced Gamespot and Jeff in general. I fucking LOVED my N-Gage QD.

I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT. I FUCKIN KNEW IT WHEN I HEARD IT HAHA!

@gaff: Whatcha mean? :( Now I'm all e-scared that something's wrong)

Good god, that Persona segment flooded back a tsunami of emotions and memories.

At 5:40, starts with Vinny's "Oh, we finally hired Brad?", the part about going from intern to regular employee. Especially Jeff's "Put him through this video game meat grinder for a bit, then ship him out into the night without any marketable skills.".

You can actually see Drew becoming nervous!

21:10

Patrick Klepek's "I'm looking at it! ...HOLY SHIT!" was amazing XD
