There is a battleaxe in Sapienza, it's embedded in the wall in the old tower with the cannons on it. I can see why they wouldn't remember it though, it's super out of the way.
I like how Brad eludes suspicion as he changes into Chef, and then proceeds to immediately blow his cover pointlessly while yelling "Let me play the game!"
If only there were a very obvious indicator somewhere onscreen showing you when guys were about to walk in on you. some kind of minature map that might mark the location of objects of interest. shame that video game tech hasnt progressed that far.
Brad is so shook by every little thing. Even when he was in the room with the virus he still stands there, paralyzed with fear over hitting a button and walking out of a room
I loved Brad's entire run, the section with the virus (he hasn't left the room as of this writing yet) has made me punch my computer. He had done everything perfectly right, could have gotten away scott free, and he chooses the most unnecessarily useless and risky method to accomplish his goal and then stares at the task for a minute. And everyone else told him to do it that way!?! WHAT?! lol... shoulda listened to Vinny the whole way through (btw, kinda my personal theme for the GOTY discussions this time around haha)
Man I know he's just playing the game but Brad overthinks things a lot. I mean it worked, he was successful but man there were a lot of minutes he was just standing there looking around.
love this series but brad absolutely sucks at this game for claiming to play it a lot, they make this game look so much more difficult than it actually is
Brad thinks he knows so much about this game but he’s no better at it than the rest of them. During her run when she asked about the telescope assassination, it would have actually been incredibly useful to her and would bring Silvio right to her but Brad said it wouldn’t help so she never discovered it. I think they guided her too much. She also could have zoomed in with the rifle using up on d-pad or slowed time by slowly squeezing the trigger while aiming (a new feature). It would’ve helped a little but I don’t know who could have made such a hard shot. They need to get in the habit of just destroying the plane while they’re in the lab. Then there’s nothing to worry about in terms of targets leaving the map. She could have lured Silvio to the observatory, subdued him there, then went to get the hazmat disguise and shot him on the floor.
Nextlander, Jeff Gerstman Show, and the current Giant Bomb can't come close to this type of entertainment. There is something about them all being in the same room feeding off of each other's energy. The gaming together on zoom just doesn't make the special moments. I miss this era of Giant Bomb so much.
Same. Though tbf it looked like he was dealing with a personal issue or something during Brad's run which is why he left at the end of it and why he kept looking down at his phone.
A lot of us had the week off before Christmas yes, but a lot of us are also already back at work. So to have this much content.. (which is free..) to catch up on, is bit much.
I appreciate starting the video with an LCD Soundsystem drop
Took a second but I totally got it. Props to Jeff.
I miss this so much
3 hours of pure joy. I love Giant Bomb and I love you all. Let's go on this journey together.
Feel like shit, just want them back.
Hitman truly is the gift that keeps on giving :)
Hope you guys have a fantastic new year!
I love how every hitmas Dan always laughs so hard each time a person gets hit in the face. Never gets old to him. Never change Dan.
HAPPY HITSMAS EVERYONE!!!!
Rich LeClaire happy hitsmas!

Can we get a shout out to IO for putting in dropped costume icons 41:56
yeah lets give a quick shoutout to Christina Applegate
I'm hearing good things about Chef Fireaxe.
Guy Fieraxe, taking you to murder town
I love these, but as someone that played a lot of Hitman this is really frustrating lol
Can't believe I skipped this. Absolutely love when everyone gets together.
they actually came back for more Hitsmas, the absolute madmen
Hoping for another Sheikh Zanzibar moment.
Nagittchi Chef Ninja Star is a close second.
I love how Brad says "Let me play the game" When last year he told everyone how to play the whole time and got all of them killed.
That is Brad in a nutshell
Silent Assassin... Damn dude, that play... After watching Brad, then seeing easymode Dan... OMG the fun is never-ending.
I like how Brad eludes suspicion as he changes into Chef, and then proceeds to immediately blow his cover pointlessly while yelling "Let me play the game!"
There is a battle axe on the Sapienza map. Go up the tower in the castle ruins and look around very carefully. It is extremely well-hidden.
The Shoemaker Assassination
The Ryckert Rumble
The Russell Retribution
The Caravella Catastrophe
Are these all Escalation contract titles? Hahaha
I think Brad's attempt at the beginning was called 'The Shoemaker Shitstorm'
I like The Shoemaker Showdown and The Caravella Conundrum myself.
Saw there was a Hitsmas episode this year and it took my breath away for a second with excitement.
You know, I really wouldn't mind IO making something like this as an official mode in Hitman.
Ben Brodie It would be awesome if it was a randomized daily challenge or something.
Sadly, they don't like people modding the game to add this stuff, and they'll never add it.
My new fav holiday tradition
22:12 they were SO close to a fire axe and they didn't find it... When she said "are we sure it's in the level?" I almost cried hahaha
Took him 1 : 30 hours, but i cant believe that Brad did it.
Also, would be more fun a different map for each giant bomb member.
Brad's run is a ninety minute nailbiter.
THREE HOURS, HERE GO WE BOYS AND GIRLS!
This might be the best Giant Bomb video of 2017! It was amazing!
the ending to Abby's session was nothing short of amazing
Oh sweet fancy Moses. Three hours of Hitsmas? Christmas just happened but has already come again!
My prayers have been answered. Happy Hitsmas.
“I killed a lot of people”
-Dan Rykert , 2017
Man oh man I haven't laughed so fucking hard since last hitsmas, dan started like a fucking legend.
Brad with the best Hitman run I've ever seem
If only there were a very obvious indicator somewhere onscreen showing you when guys were about to walk in on you. some kind of minature map that might mark the location of objects of interest. shame that video game tech hasnt progressed that far.
Brad is so shook by every little thing. Even when he was in the room with the virus he still stands there, paralyzed with fear over hitting a button and walking out of a room
Brad's run...just wow
just wanted to say thank you for all the content this year. we love you guys.

The best time of the year again!
An LCD sound system reference within the first minute? Glory be!
We heard that Jeff!
its kind of weird that jeff likes lcd right?
Nope. Makes sense.I thought jeff WAS james murphy. For years, i thought this guy had some serious disestablishmentarianist range.
Nothing less weird in the world.
This needs to happen up close....for you, Silvio.
They play this so haphazardly and I love it
If Dan doesn't stop eating on mic and talking with his mouth full, I'm gonna send 47 after him.
I loved this so much.
Just finished watching the 2016 one - let's go in again.
The only GB content “I” need
This....is all I wanted for christmas
Brad’s run is INCREDIBLE
I appreciate Jeff's Clipse reference at 8:31
This is a good video game
Man I know he's just playing the game but Brad overthinks things a lot. I mean it worked, he was successful but man there were a lot of minutes he was just standing there looking around.
I need to go back and watch all of those quick looks because I have no idea how to play this game, even with the tutorials and hints turned on.

It will surprise you and leave you hanging!
This video is fucking legendary.
Dan's run in the lab is exactly how you do not want to do it lol
Merry Hitsmas 2021!
Holiday spectacular is awesome
love this series but brad absolutely sucks at this game for claiming to play it a lot, they make this game look so much more difficult than it actually is
i just did the same run that brad did with the same stipulations that brad had and beat it in 25 minutes lol.
Mexico Rules Hitman is the best!

How has this mode not been properly implemented into the game yet?
Eduardo Chaidez theres a contracts mode that basically allows u to do this
There it is!!!

Took me 5 minutes to realize that Alex was there.
Same. Though tbf it looked like he was dealing with a personal issue or something during Brad's run which is why he left at the end of it and why he kept looking down at his phone.
I only noticed when I read this comment
That's a whole different can of beans
great stream
Brad's run is so frustrating. Like 90% spinning the camera around standing still, while overreacting to absolutely everything.
Loved the run, Abby!! You were so close!!!
seriously 3 hours of giant bomb at their best
Is alex okay?
lol dan still has no idea how to play hitman
Brad's performance was genuinely impressive.
This was amazing
I am ready for this
Payday huh?
Remind me to NEVER fuck with Brad Shoemaker.
Merry Hitsmas everyone!
Abby's run was amazing. She just dumped on fools in the lab.
Holy shit Brad, holy shit
17:35 lmao!
Abby's run started off slow, but what an ending.
No sheik sneek this year. :^(
I *NEED* Jeff's sweater.
What is their fascination with the concealable pistol? The concealability is not worth the limited capacity. But they always pick it.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!
and remember kids: If you ever witness Dan do something remotely suspicious just ignore him completely, otherwise he may murder your whole village
Did Dan just get out of bed?
good lcd soundsystem meme jeff
Brad is looking Good! Lost some weight!
The #content
Abby fucking wins 2017
Awwwww yisssssssssss!!!
BRAD JUST SHOOT THE STALACTITE AAAAAHHHH TENSION
FUCKING YES
Why do these people have to pee so much
Yooooo
PLEASE STOP: Eating on mic.
Brad is good at the Hitman
Why are you guys posting these Christmas specials.. after Christmas?
This is all I wanted leading up to Christmas, like last year.
Remember Amnesia agreed. It's a lot to catch up on at the same time too
A lot of us had the week off before Christmas yes, but a lot of us are also already back at work. So to have this much content.. (which is free..) to catch up on, is bit much.
The videos and GOTY deliberations always go up between Christmas and New Year's, that's how they have done it every year.
Abby is secretly bad-ass!
