I pay a lot more attention to new video game soundtracks for this reason, and that means bouncing between each of the major contenders to figure out which one I like most. Soundtracks are a little more abstract it helps to know what sort of scenes/environments/drama is going on while a track is playing, for sure, but you can also stick the whole soundtrack on in the background while you work and get a gist for what it's aiming for, as well as the overall quality of the music itself. With most of the GOTY side-categories Giant Bomb presents each year, I'm only half-focused on the outcome: best character, best story, best moment all require that you've played the games in question to fully understand why they deserve that accolade. What's also complicated is my current journey to figure out which game had the best music this year. Might have to put Fakin' It on the backburner if it's going to keep asking masturbation questions, though. It's funny how I started this paragraph being blasé about GOTY before launching into an intricate plan to expand on it further, but then I'm a complicated guy. Once I've done that, I should be able to determine its place on my list. There's also the matter of The Jackbox Party Pack 3 I purchased it during Black Friday on the strength of its new games, but I've yet to test it out with a room full of people. If it's a 2016 game I figure I have about a week to play it - after my family leaves, of course I'm not that antisocial - before the Xmas rush and the site's own copious GOTY coverage. My family comes to town that week, and with it a belated birthday present. Despite spending the last ten days fussing about a GOTY list, like there's nothing else that happens in December, I'm actually postponing any GOTY material until after the 18th.
