I haven't listened yet, are they seriously kicking around dota2? Isn't that a 2013 game? And they pretty explicitly told Brad last year that he was the only one who played it and it being on the list at all was good enough.

They're going to give goty to shadow of mordor, but 10-2 will be interesting.

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.

Yeah I just started listening recently but I did go back and listen to last year's GOTY stuff because I have a longass commute and I hate Brad because of this. Everyone else has games that they're like "Well I really like this, it's my personal favorite, but I understand you guys don't so it doesn't have to be on the group's list". But Brad is just a big whiny baby who burbles about how he can't budge and you can feel everyone just kinda awkwardly working around that because I guess it's not worth provoking a tantrum from him.

But like what's the reasoning, why not give goty to alpha centauri then.

i doubt they will really take him seriously if he tries that, even with it at the top of his personal list

Brad has exactly the mentality of the average DOTA player, except in real life too.

Sounds about right for the guy who wrote, in the end of 2014, that he stood on a hillside on a horse in a video game and wistfully observed the landscape it overlooked.

Dan is one of those rare types. Like if he had decided to be serious and focused instead of a goofy videogame guy he could have been the president of the country and it wouldn't surprise me.

Moments ago, I finished watching the final episode of The Colbert Report, and it seemed fitting to head upstairs, pour some scotch, sit down, and write my final post for Giant Bomb. This, my friends, is it.

This is the worst thing I've ever read.

And then I got to the end where he's signing everyone's yearbook. What an embarrassing little pompous turd.
