Tnc crashes Everytime I open the steam overlay and I have to reload anytime there's water because it starts reflecting all light sources against themselves until the entire level is like the inside of a star. Very unpleasant.

I like the shotgun though.

Why doesn't GB have a best shotgun award, that seems like something Jeff would get super into arguing over.

yeah disabling steam overlay stopped most of the crashing. i hit that reflection bug hard in the sewer level where you're riding the panzerhound, my fps slowly dropped from 144 to <1 by the end of the level. if it wasn't for easiest difficulty basically being god mode i dont think i could have beaten it

Same. Although usually I only listen to Day 5 right away and then the rest whenever I feel like it. So maybe just more than I'm used to, but idk...

agreed, it’s kinda a bummer

Jeff sez: Next year they're going to write up a short paragraph and define each category so it doesn't happen again.

TFW the definition of a category changes depending on who's talking yet everyone agrees with each new idea like that makes any sense at all

It’s also her first year doing this stuff and I can imagine it’s a bit intimidating. Austin had it right bringing notes.

Picked up Pyre after hearing about it on the GOTY stuff. Had no idea Supergiant released a game this year. It’s really fuckin neat. Probably the best “1/2 visual novel 1/2 sports rpg” I’ve ever played.

I thought people were exaggerating but I just heard a sentence in day 2 during best surprise where she used the word good about 7 times. Incredible. Maybe she's just nervous

Listening to Day 4 now. Ben is onto something during "Best Debut" when he says pubg is kind of an odd nominee. I think they should revise what that category means so that its unique and not just a preview of the Top 10.

I enjoyed Jeff using his Manager Voice and going "if this was that important to you you should have fought for it when we set the rules about early access games."

Even though it was a BIG YEAR for games I think I played none of the big games theyre talking about in deliberations and spent the year playing small games and old games mostly so that's why the casts aren't doing it this year.

I hope Vinny remembers Sexy Brutale for best Moment or Best Style cause that game was super cool and I want more people to know about it. Cool little game that plays with some of the mechanics from ghost trick.

It was so weird that they've spent so long discussing Uncharted 7 in a best surprise category. Kinda emblematic of the whole process
