I Failed At Anime 2022


It's that time of the year again! A video game awards show hosted by the Dorito Pope himself, Geoff Keighley.



The man is just radiating with charisma as usual. This year he's paying for the awards show out of his own pocket so no doubt he will be hands on with everything leading up to the special guests and whatnot. So no, we will probably not a get a double take of last year's hilarious debacle with Joel McHale basically no-selling the entire show.

If you're not here for the amazing trainwreck and spectacle sport this always turns out to be you're for the most, important thing that there can be right? The awards. That's right video games have come such a long way as an art form and we are here to witness a forum of men decide I'm just kidding, of course you're here for the new video game trailers the awards are loving stupid. There has been nonstop talk of new trailers, world premieres, and no doubt someone is going to demo their game awkwardly. So what do we know about so far?

Games we know about so far!

Metal Gear Solid Online & maybe MGS5
Bloodborne
The Order: 1886
New King's Quest
No Man's Sky
And more possibly... maybe... sure.
