If they're doing decades can't wait for the 90s.

Wait, I can.

Kinda hoping for this as well...but at the same time, also hoping for something completely different each time. Anything's good with this level of quality, of course!

STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON....I know it was 1988 but they should totally do a NWA video.

Kinda confusing that they have three separate links with the same name on the front page, taking you to the podcast, article and video without telling clearly which links leads to which.

Except that the video is named different and they each have a tag on them that clearly display what they are?

Damn, I'm pretty sure the first piece of Giant Bomb content I ever experienced was GOTY 2012 Day One this time last year. I've watched every TNT from this year and every UF since then, around 100 podcasts and 200 quick looks. Been kind of a crazy year tbh...

Thought this (the 70s bit specifically) was kinda unfunny and pretty lame compared to last year but i don't wanna be negative, got so many days left to go!

The 70s stuff became tedious fast for me. Other than that; great stuff.

Note to self: Go play Bioshock!

I dunno, Sleepy Brad looks like he could use some of those once in a while on an Unprofessional Friday. Plus now Jeff can finally now live his fantasy of being xXsomedudenamedjeff420Xx.

This was a pleasure, thanks Giant Bomb. Who else can say they had Windjammers on their GOTY list?

Ok, this is great. They better do a decades theme... the 80's are gonna be awesome. Although, it would be equally awesome if they went even further back in time. Old timey British bombsquad! Brad could finally flaunt his "British" accent in the proper setting of 1880.

What was Brad's character? Someone on coke, or baked, or just a teeth grinder? I can't characterize it like I can Jeff and Vinny's.

Son of a bitch. This is video? This just threw a nice 24-minute wrench in my afternoon plans. Also, my afternoon plans are just playing Rust all day.

No separate staff GOTY videos this year? That's ok! Just no idea where this theme is going.
