According to the latest Bombcast the team have a zaney-genius name for their "Game Of The Year" round-up malarky.

Anyone got any guesses?

I bet it involves the word bomb and/or the act of explosion.  I'll edit later when I can think of an actual guess that doesn't sound stupid xd

I can't think of anything but from the podcast they made out like it genuinely is awesome. Apparently a whole subsite has been designed aswell.

Thankyou for posting something in the Bombcast section.

Explosion Awards? The Death Count? (no idea with that one) The Bombies? The Fuse Busters?...wait no scratch that one, If they have a bad game award about the Bomb Defusers! in this case a bomb blowing up like the site did, is a good thing. Bomb Busters!

No all of these are too lame, not genius.

They will have a massive theme for the site like they had for TGS, probably with luchadeer. My guess is that it will be some thing about luchadeer deciding which games are the best and the title will have some kind of bomb/deer related pun.

I don't know, but they should hold it in March instead of December.

I'm definitely expecting GiantBomb's Game Of The Deer now. As someone else also mentioned - it will be written from the point of view of Luchadeer.

I'm so convinced I'll be shocked if that's not what's gonna happen!

I'm betting GTAIV gets GOTY. I keep forgetting that GTAIV came out this year, but it did and I think it's completely deserving of a GOTY award.

Yeah, your right, it was GameSpot where it got such a good score. My mistake. I retract that bet. :P

I kind of hope it's not - Luchadeer is awesome, but in the same way as Boat was back on Gamespot - it was more the mystery than anything. As soon as Boat got a common voice and began writing articles, it got old. Luchadeer would get lame extremely fast if they pulled that off, so I doubt they'd try and push him (it) beyond the site background, loading screens, and the occasional article of clothing.

No idea what the game of the year stuff will be called, though.

I could see it being "Game of the Deer" even though I don't want that. Here's hoping it's something new and exciting and hilarious.

haha, I bet they're doing that right now. I can picture Jeff and Ryan scanning this board and ever other post going, "God damnit! Now we can't do Game of the Deer or The Death Count!"

I'd love it if they did as some other publications do, and provide the winner with some kind of trinket. It doesn't effect me in any way, but I bet developers love a physical manifestation of their game crafting prowess.
I also look forward to Dr.Strangelove references.

I'm not sure if that award would go to the best game of the year or the worst.
