Goopy Goblin Gamer Brain

Mint please explain GGGB

In NakeyJakey’s The Last of Us 2 video he describes a condition he has called Goopy Goblin Gamer Brain. Having GGGB essentially means that your motivation and interest in games is powered almost purely by gameplay. Anything that gets in the way of gameplay, like:

• Stealth/Trailing sequences
• Overly long, unskippable cutscenes
• Long Tutorials

Is a threat to Goopy Goblin Gamer Brain.

I have Goopy Goblin Gamer Brain. A very bad case, if I’m being honest. It’s the reason why I can’t stand games like The Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption 2, and other “prestige-type” games. If you’ve spent time in this café, you probably already have an idea about that, and what kind of games I do like. And I’ve definitely mentioned GGGB before.

So when I talk about the Goop, this is what I mean. I play games to play them. Anything after that is just gravy. Naw'mean?
