I wonder what game the crew will get super hooked on this year. I'd love to see them all get really into Monster Hunter World but even with it being on a proper console I think maybe Ben and Brad will get excited about it for a week or so and then completely fall off it.

2018 looks dead. Its going to be the year they all finish 2017 games and have a long argument during the next Best Old Game award.

I see someone at Awesome Games Done Quick will be speed running Super Mario Sunshine this year. I'd love to see GBEast commentate over that as a special Steal My Sunshine episode.

Does Hitman: Season 2 count as a new game? Or DLC?
I guess technically it would be either DLC or an expansion since it's not a completely different game, even if it adds an equal or greater amount of content compared to Season 1.

I completely forgot AGDQ was coming up so soon. Can't wait!

Finally (finally!) finished all the GOTY podcasts. Really enjoyed them this year! Ben and Abby were fun additions and brought up some games that I don't think would have been in consideration if they didn't bring them up. Some parts got pretty redundant, but I think that's kinda inherent with doing hours upon hours of podcasts with like 7 or 8 people. The crew also sold me on getting Nier:Automata at some point. Sounds like my kinda game.

Caught up on GOTY. Goddamn the thread must've been a mess. Still haven't listened to a lot of the categories, but Abby and Ben have been great additions so far

I bought Sleepy Dogs again (played originally on 360) so I'll be revisiting that to start 2018 in gaming. The year starts slow anyways.

Looking forward to another year with you guys and this community, it's been fun.

Just popping by to say I started listening to Bomb Cast again every week a few months back as my current job sees me driving for hours every day.

I should really check the site and other content out. If you recommend one thing from the site what would it be?

I played around an hour of Odyssey where I beat the final boss and ran around afterwards on a friends Switch and it felt forgettable like 64.
The ending was obvious.
Beating Bowser was ridiculously easy.
Playing as Bowser after beating him wasn't fun like I assume they thought it would be.
The whole use the hat mechanistic to control enemies was interesting for about five minutes.
The ad telling me to use motion controls when I booted it up was was unnecessary, just like the addition of them in the first place.
I wish it had voice acting for every character.
The Switch is surprisingly small.

Started Steam World Dig 2 today on the Switch and I'm loving it. So far it's everything I wanted from a sequel.

Aaaaaah, nothing like that new thread smell.

I'm drunk and bored and sad and alone somewhere in the middle of nowhere but it's only 22:00 so I'm just gonna go to bed fuck new year and all that. 2018 better be worth it.
Happy new year everybody. :D

Is this the last bad take of 2017 or the first bad take of 2018?
