DID ANYONE CHOOSE BREATH OF THE WILD   Dylan was a maybe on it 

We’ll make sure it either gets a blurb or the list I’m Andrew King and I’ll write about Breath of the Wild

Did anyone decide on Nier: Automata? Like BOTW it needs to be SOMEWHERE lol

Why don’t we put these in the honourable mentions and then edit them out if we need to

Who edits things, pft

Petition to put this whole gdoc on spine unedited seconded thirded this is a lot to witness FOURTHED

Okay seriously this is Dylan and god I could write about both then also so many indies this is a tough decision

Let’s make sure it’s clear, nobody should feel pressured to write about BotW or anything as their game if there’s another game they want to write about more

HOLD ON NO ONE PUT RDR2, ALSO WHY WAS THAT BOLDED

OMG NIER

We could also have a Spine choices, for those games that have to be written about in general (aka we need more articles on the Witcher 3) Cian, no cian rest, have a nap, stop talking about the witcher 3 drink more water haha (Guinness is bad for you, actually) I might just post this without editing

Into the Spine: After Dark, Before Edits (YES) podcast when please!!!!!!! A podcast would just be all of us screaming into the mic – yes but also it would be fun and we can discuss why the witcher series is going to be good, actually this place is fun because I can say I didn’t think the witcher was that good and no one will ever know who it was

Podcast seconded!! We could even put it up on YouTube too with changing gameplay footage so it’s accessible –we could also do YouTube with one of those cool audio graphics that Waypoint and Spawn on me use

I have to go make some tea, no one do anything chaotic till I get back(okay everyone go crazy) I’M BACK DON’T DO IT

HAHAAHAH

Oh hey our mascot

Lmao sorry for stealing your T there. Aaaaaaaa fuxk

I love this 

CHAOS

WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN I SAW IT ON TWITTER

LITERALLY LEFT THE DOC FOR 2 MINUTES

Who is being sensible and adding headings

That’s not allowed

What the hyuk

What the fuck have I done

What the hyuck have we become
