lmfao, jason’s submitted statement on pubg
Battlegrounds is an asset flip that has the distinction of winning big off a dollar scratchoff. People are losing their minds because you can now vault over things. I refuse to believe this is a finely crafted experience.

I think the reason this year is kind of a drag is that the podcasts are like 5x longer than usual but also they still wind up picking the most obvious results possible so it's just exhausting.

Jeff was like super excited and happy about how they went too if you listened to him afterwards. & then you listen to the casts and it's him not knowing what a lovely category meant, & generally being invisible unless wolf2 was in the convo

If you think calling me names is gonna get a rise out me, think again. I like my life as an idiot!
I feel like the GOTY debates need an "intellectual" for lack of better terms. Someone like Austin that would call people out when their only argument is "This is bad." or "This is very good."

i don't know who first pointed out abby only ever says "it's very good" but i didn't notice it at first and now i can't unhear it

"i think dream daddy is very good. i am not a dating sim person-- i know the writing is not for everyone it's got a very particular style but i think it is Very Good"

Definitely a bit of that, but something like Destiny 2 as top 3 for Best Looking is 'surprising', but not interesting or defensible in any way. A lot of the categories just ended up with them shoehorning a few select games in and it really ruins the whole thing.

It's got really good characters, and her story is really good, and the way it's - it's got a really good cohesion. The other game is pretty bad, not that it disqualifies it, but I don't think it hangs top 3 on this list

It's very good and cohesive, but I don't think it hangs, personally, just wanted to say my piece. It's definitely not top 3 material. Destiny 2. Cuphead. Pubg.

I’m a few weeks behind on regular casts and Vinny takes the piss out if Abby constantly on the first Beastcast after they recorded Goty

Every other thing she says he asks “but is it good?”

The further I get into these the more I notice that immediately when Abby does her 'it's very good non argument that someone else will jump in and try to construct an actual argument to clarify her position and It's pretty lol.

Listening to an Austin rant about machine Elves and I really think if Ryan and Austin ever got together the bombcast would have been way too crazy to contain and I make myself sad. Austina nd jeff and Ryan just bouncing amusing internet nonsense off each other for hours.

Destiny 2 in Best Art

What a joke. The Destiny series in general looks like a bunch of boring stock modern military stuff grafted onto a bunch of boring stock sci-fi assets. It’s some of the most mundane art direction I’ve seen in a game and it blows my mind that the same people made Halo.

The concept art revealed for the first game’s announcement looked awesome too so it’s extra disappointing.

















The evil hive-ship thing in The Taken King expansion actually had some pretty decent design, though- basically like these next pieces but not as cool. It was probably the only part in either game that kind of stood out visually:







Anyways, hope you enjoyed this because it’s probably the only sincere post about these games I’ll ever make.
