Holiday Specialtacular 2017: Winter Games

I love all of the holiday content GB is putting out, and this is a great addition! For as dumb as that last game was, it turned out to be surprisingly hilarious. I'll look forward to this coming back next year!

Say what you will about Dan but he has some good ideas! Fun video.

This was amazing. Here`s to hoping they make this a holiday tradition like Hitmas and continue the great combo of bad video games and non-video games.

This is fantastic.

Oh man that rocket league match is good shit.

Dorito's crash course was also pretty competitive.

Guess a number is the level of dumbness I expect from this site, and someone needs to make a soundboard or supercut of Jeff saying no. Wait, where was the 2nd game at the end?

I second the motion that this should be like a hitsmas tradition every year!

2 thumbs up!

I think that counts for a Bingo space

Coonce showing up randomly offscreen

That frog game actually seems really interesting.

EDIT: This was the best, dumbest, best thing.

This was great!

This video is brought to you by the number 4.

Gawd-damn, when I saw Craig I couldn't stop laughing. It reminded me of a stuffed deceased cat posed in it's favorite activity, biting and mangling, in some long passed sitcom.

@aggrocraig: lmao

lol

So much fun!

That final game:

22, 17, 5, 15, 19, 18, 3, 12, 7, 13, 11, 16, 1, 10, 2, 11, 23, 21, 24, 22, 8, 20, 11, 2, 11, 7, 6, 9, 12, 8, 25, 1, 20, 10, 13, 17, and, finally, 4.

Assuming I listened correctly. This was a great video.

146 guesses for a number between 1 and 25.

Glorious.

Shout out to SEAN COUNCE!

I don't remember which video it was, but I remember them putting it into a wall slot somewhere in the CBS building (maybe during the move between floors?), leaving it there just to see how long it would stay before someone would move it. Turns out, it was still there months later.

Edit: Found it

Shoulda gone pistols only for Perfect Dark

Omg, this was so fun, I love that the games weren't only videogames! Last game was hilarious, haha!

@commodoregroovy: It was when they moved from the third floor to the first. Dan found it.

I was laughing so hard at Alex just covering his head during that last segment, great job guys :)

This was great and I think it's my favorite video of the Holiday Spectacular. I didn't think anything would top Hitsmas for me.

What's up with the consistent low rumble in the background? Sounds like there's an unattended mic that's left switched on somewhere in the studio.

This was great!

This is my favorite athletic competition this winter sports season.

Crash Course rules.

This was indeed great. Giant Bomb is so much better when just having fun with games and not tearing them apart :)

@kingbonesaw: @yummytreesap: Ahh, right, thanks. The tournament slipped my mind at that point and I thought they were just going to play 2 games in an epic showdown between the the 2 final contestants.

what is a smile?

That staring contest was so stupid...

Yup. This was amazing. I already can't wait until next year.

1. Jason
2. Vinny
3. Jeff
4. Brad
5. Abby
6. Minion

I really enjoyed this, but I kinda wish there were a few less non video game games. Like Abby got the short end of the stick with Rock Paper Scissors, meanwhile the competition in Rocket League and Doritos Crash Course were really intense.

Incredible ending

ded

Also, how many of these did they film in one UPF Friday? :P

It ended with fourboylt

Testament to our love of the crew that watching them do non-video game challenges is so enjoyable - yet another great video, can't wait for next year's.

The Doritos game is G-R-E-A-T!!!!!!!

wonder how much of the Damien love was due to that being the character Abby romanced. I dated all of them once and didn't choose his route because he wasn't interesting on the first date, would have gone with Mat or Brian (? been awhile, the chubby dad) instead.

So this is proof that Brad is bad at video games ? the losers bracket should of been losers move to the next round tho oh I see what they did

What a season, what a season.

Winter, to be specific.

This looks fun. I wish they would have played shitty winter sports / themed games though.

Everyone knows it goes Rock-Paper-Scissors-shoot. Abby was robbed.

This was really, really stupid.

Please do it again next year.

@spunkyhepanda: Seriously, anyone who throws without the full rock-paper-scissors-shoot is a monster.

You're the best Jason!
