Well everyone else tries hard enough on the other side of the spectrum. And I liked The Final Hours of thing he did for a few games.

Just a reminder that tomorrow THE PLAYSTATION EXPERIENCE will be on, so except more nonsense then too. And a whole lot of exclusive reveals and stuff. I'm actually pretty excited for that one if only to see if they announce anything for Dragon's Dogma.

Stuff will actually happen there though

Let's be honest, this was 3 hours and the only good things to come that weren't wastes of time were No Man's Sky and Zelda, and both of those are definitely being uploaded to Youtube right now by someone

Koji Kondo playing second fiddle to those guys made me really unreasonably angry.

Edit: Good show overall though. Game Oscars.

That's kind of where you put the piano for all these kinds of duets, so I'm okay with it.

I'm the only one that likes Geoff, I guess. He actually takes gaming seriously for the most part and isn't some obnoxious dude if a bit of a unintentional shill at times.

Yeah same. He catches a lot of poo poo for Dorito Pope but he's pretty passionate about the whole thing and I get the feeling he feels stuff like that is a necessary evil.

He needs to realize that Game Awards~ will never take off as long as they feature ads for games in the middle of them, though.

Ads as in the trailers during the actual show or was there ads injected by Twitch in there? Cause adblocker, yo. Otherwise, yea. The only other thing it could be are Doritos and Mt Dew commercials, so the lesser of two evils I guess. Does movie/music awards do something similar?

Looked good until the graphics came up. Then it looked stupid.

At first I got excited because I thought it might be new That Game Company.

Also, Kings Quest looks like childhood rapage. Zelda looks great.

I don't disagree with the decision at all, it's just surprising those awards would pick Nintendo, based off of how they treated it before.

Yet they have a category for "Trending Gamer" and give it to a white British guy who thinks racism isn't real. This was a baffling show on so many levels.

He also goes all "PC Master Race!" and then admits he can't even build his own computer.
