giantbomb.com/articles/her... @giantbomb.bsky.social that's a wrap

The final @giantbomb.bsky.social guest list for GOTY 2025 is from @packbenpack.bsky.social! Y'all know this guy? Why's he trying to get us put in Nintendo Jail by talking about an unlicensed Pokémon game? giantbomb.com/articles/ben...

Our fifth GOTY guest list on @giantbomb.bsky.social today is from a long-time friend of the site, @aurahack.ca! This year, she discovered what makes Final Fantasy XII so... special. giantbomb.com/articles/aur...

Can we create a separate social media for people that only get validation by posting "Am I the only one that thinks popular thing isn't that good???"

Marino busts ass around here! He and @lexluddy.xyz have done an amazing job editing and curating our guest GOTY lists, and I'm so glad to have his here too. giantbomb.com/articles/mar...

A wholesome discussion about Expedition 33 from @janochoa.bsky.social @chucktowski.com over on Giant Bomb's GOTY We're all thinking about Verso's whole...story.

If you are someone who is still on Twitter, I have one question: What the fuck is wrong with you?

also been cooking this one for a minute, but user reviews are alive again on giantbomb.com/user-reviews for premium users

www.twitch.tv/chucktowski Two Point Museum for @tolkoto.com

also little new years wins for me: - timestamps on premium podcast feeds - slayed the Pocket Casts dragon (24hr+ delay on refreshing user feeds due to the query parameter for api keys..)

rebuilding giant bomb dot com and then getting to be on @giantbomb.bsky.social 's GOTY podcasts have paired as the two highlights of my professional career. just a real honor, and I'm incredibly thankful I get to do this. AND THE WINNER IS.... youtu.be/BdBU-U-y1WA

Will Crosby (@hunt270.bsky.social) has been amazing to have around at our live events and as an on-hand editor; him being around expands my horizons for what we can do at Giant Bomb. AND HERE IS HIS GOTY LIST giantbomb.com/articles/wil...

that's credits on silent hill f, a great way to start 2026. debating doing other endings, but: - is this the best silent hill game? - the 60's japan country backdrop does WORK - this goes from near perfect to perfect with some more monster variety - the map/sign posting is pitch perfect thread --

Not to play favourites or anything... but I think Mat's list might be my favourite this year. giantbomb.com/articles/mat...

an apple a day keeps you on the bidet

For our 4th GOTY list today, @superhys.bsky.social was able to detach himself from spreadsheets long enough to play a few games and tell you about them. giantbomb.com/articles/rhy...

I cannot overstate how good Jearum's work is.

SILENT HILL F

You have about 24 hours left to vote for the @giantbomb.bsky.social Community GOTY. I think our Top 10 is pretty much locked in, but placements can still be affected. For example, the difference between 4th and 5th is 21 points (3503 to 3482). Vote Here: tinyurl.com/GBCGOTY25

Day 6 of @giantbomb.bsky.social's GOTY Lists begins with the fifth of seven staff lists. We fuck with @chucktowski.com. giantbomb.com/articles/chu...

2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community. Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

Here’s to 2026

I love children's books

I got sick leading up to Christmas so I haven't had the time to thank everyone who has submitted a guest list. But I am thankful. No one has to do it, and it's a tradition that I love. Special thanks to @marinov1.bsky.social and @lexluddy.xyz for doing all the work. giantbomb.com/articles?cat...
