You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.
jesus that list is terrible

lol at SFV or League of Legends being the best of anything, let alone competitive games in their genre

Hyper Light Drifter deserves an award, though, and The Witness is a close runner-up

Coming to you live from Los Angeles, it's Geoff Keighley's Yearly Public Masturbation Session! Ohhhhhh aahhhhhh.

It is my sincere regret that they have probably learned from the last couple years and this won't be an entertaining train wreck, just a train wreck.

Keighley never fails to make me laugh. i can't wait until he reveals that his entire career has be an Andy Kaufman esque own on the games industry.

I think the most disappointing thing about these awards is that they're always, always going to be dominated by AAA games and shuttle off all of the indie titles into a single category, when the market has like 5 AAA games coming out a year compared to a zillion indie ones.

And I mean we already knew these things were useless, but :sigh:

Well there's about five good indie titles a year, so.
