Overview
Giant Bomb's Game of the Year Awards celebrates 2015's best and worst in the world of video games.
With the crew having to move their entire studio to the first floor of the CBS Interactive building in December, there was no studio to produce GOTY videos. This left each staff member on their own to produce content for the daily recap videos. Alex did ASMR, Austin built gunpla, Vinny did guitar tutorials on YouTube, Jeff did grocery hauls... all totally normal stuff.
Keep punchin' those waterfalls, kids.
