Check out my favorite books, movies, and (even more) games of the year by joining Nebula! It's a 45 minute long video! I just had too much to say!! https://nebula.tv/videos/jacob-geller-jacob-gellers-other-favorite-things-from-2024
Slitterhead looks like Stubbs the Zombie 2 (finally)
Is that Kilian Eng? So beautiful..
You two really go well together.
29:45 They even included boku no natsuyasumi there? That's so cool. I just wish it would get translated one day.
I love Jacob from youtube. Jacob from twitter 💀
Your description of Slitterhead makes it sound like a spiritual successor to Prototype, one of my favorite 'fuck around in an open city' games; I'll definitely have to check that one out. <3
4:28 PLEASE, i'm dying.
Another great video, I love the way you love games.
I always enjoy your content and am looking forward to diving into your Nebula videos.
Congrats on the engagement!
Wow Jacob. You wrote a book! Can't wait to read it. You are the Gilles Peterson of Games my man, cheers <3!
WHAT ABOUT SLAY THE PRINCESS PRISTINE CUT??????
astro bot is something truly special, it's one of those games where it will take time for people to truly appreciate what it does. one of those rare, timeless classics.
I work in the gaming industry and its true, this years games were amazing – big buget and indie.
Unfortunately the industry itself had probably one of its worst years, with multiple studios firing large amounts of their developers and killing/splitting up a lot of smaller teams, while making record sales. Its so frustrating and disheartening to see.
You cover art is top tier
23:20 Your favorite streamer's favorite streamer strikes again
Lmao BG3 single-handedly got me out of a decade long funk of only playing 3 games (osrs, tf2, hearthstone) and will probably remain the best game I’ve ever personally played until Larian’s next game. Hades, stardew, rdr2, gta5, cyberpunk, vampire survivors, slay the spire, balatro are all excellent but haven’t hit the same life changing spot that BG3 did. Play that fucking game
You have got to do yourself a favor and ensure that some games that didn't make it to 2023 or 2024's list make it onto next year's. Some of these games are so Geller-core I'm shocked you haven't touched them.
Visual novels Slay the Princess, and Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo.
Resident-evil-inspired Adventure game Lorelei and the Laser Eyes.
4D Golf.
The impeccably hilarious and dark Anthology of The Killer,
and the mind-blowing discovery & puzzle game Void Stranger, which if I had played it in 2023 would have been my GOTY
seeing exordia's cover at the end has me going to nebula right now
HYPE HYPE HYPE
pls add timestamps to your videos 🙏
there are black people
Astrobot being number one is maybe the weakest decision ever. Of all the games that came out you chose corporate, characterless, artless, soulless rubbish.
