Thank you for doing this as a video!

Castor Troy

Awesome guys! I like the videos playing in the background. I'd say, maybe next time just mute the video so it's a visual only. It was sometimes a little hard to focus on what you guys were saying when hearing the audio from the video as well.

Jordan Chivers

Having the game audio playing over the conversation was an interesting choice.. found it a bit distracting personally. Loved the discussion and the lists so far though! Couple games I was on the fence on trying that I may have to give a shot now.

I've been a longtime fan, I think I have followed since around 2016. I really miss the Giant Bomb format for GOTY. It was always the best content all year. The discussion here was fine but it lacks so much of what made GOTY special. It would be great to bring in one or two other contributors and do a proper 4 day GOTY with different categories, everyone arguing for where the game should rank, etc.
