Let me take you for a ride.
I don't know how it would be better, about the same, I wasn't really freaked out about the gore, more the horrible painful screams as they dug around her insides. The Raiden mission at least reassures me that the game will still be like Kojima's other games.

Strike quick and hurry at him,
not caring to hit or miss.
So that you dishonor him before the judges



Brad is annoying during these talks because it seems like he's willing to put a game on a list simply because he likes it and his fight for said game gets tiring quickly. Like Brad's list would consist of nothing but DOTA2 and Destiny if he could get away with it.

Brad putting dota and destiny on his list is fine given that he's a fat brained moron

He still managed to put good games on the rest of it

And even this year, the evolution of Dota 2's free-to-play model and the mainstream cultural impact of The International meant that Dota 2 was more "important" than most games that did come out this year, if you care about such things.

I understand where you're coming with Dota 2 completely, Brad. I am nearing my 2000th match with Dota 2 and I will likely go well beyond that over time. The game is incredibly rewarding once you actually understand all the moving parts. It's the steep learning curve that is off-putting for most because they are used to instantaneously being able to master games because they are so straight-forward and don't have so many mechanics that work in tandem, each as crucial as the next.

Dota 2 rewards players who understand all of those moving parts and how they each affect one another. The game is about executing on a micro and a macro level. You need to be able to play effectively, but also be reactive, you are reliant on your team, you have to... yeah, you could go on and on about it. Solid title and a great inclusion on the list.

Brad: ok enough of this nonsense. This tomfoolery. I think we all know what the real game of the year is...
Jeff: what.
Alex: yes brad what are you talking about.
Brad: Oh? You dont know?

Brad takes out a rubber band and begins to tie it tight around his arm. He takes out a syringe and finds a vein and plunges the needle into the vein. As itt takes effect he looks at everybody and starts to giggle and then get red and then he starts laughing maniacally
