[PPOTW] What did you think of this years VGX awards?

[RupeeClock]

Which game won "best idependent games fueled by mountain dew"?

Thankfully there were no mentions of Mountain Dew or Doritos.
Oh, but don't forget to watch 47 Ronin in theatres Christmas Day.

Irrelevant is my choice. Last time I watched VGA it was filled with lame has beens from MTV and their tripe. Sure Jackass was a funny show in its day but to bring the worst of it to a video game award, when the developers of the programs do hard work and are very intelligent let alone professionals in an industry. That had to be a huge sucker punch to the gut for them to come across that there. VGAs are made for the dumb COD fans and the like to smile with glee at. Probably also flocks of 4channers watch it. It's like a retard magnet. It's too bad too because I heard G4 was a good channel some maybe 10 years ago.

You mean TechTV. THAT was good.. G4 was never GOOD. it was. okay. When Cheat, X-Play (old), and other GAME related programs were on..then they merged to be TectTVG4 and G4 decided there wasn't enough room for the both of them..Out with the educational one right?..now its just cops, Ninja Warr- oh wait. It's Esquire network now.

Basically, all these shows are, marketing opportunities. I mean Joel makes a joke and the other dudes are like, "What the fuck do I say?!?" And this is the show where they list off the game of the year? Stoo-Pid.

VGX gon give it to ya, and by "it" I mean "enough cringe to make your face implode."

I do appreciate Joel McHale refusing to give a single shit, however.

Boring. And the loop where Reggie insulted made a joke and laughed a bit does sound annoying, it's still pretty funny. It was actually some relief from a generally boring scene to watch.

It was really quite the travesty actually.
*snip*
I don't even know what they were thinking giving Pewdiepie a segment all to himself, and yet I didn't find that nearly as grating as the GTA V music performance at the end of the show.

Would you settle for a one minute rendition of it with even worse sound than the actual performance?

They considered it such a travesty they went ahead and made their own game awards show a couple of years back. See "Vidya Gaem Awards"



To this day probably the only good thing to come out of 4chan.

This was better than the entire show.
Thats it.

I thought they changed their mind and are gonna stay as the G4 network... or that's just Canada.

Ya that channel is so bad that I complained to them once and they just said "well what do you expect us to play?" I was like um, I dunno maybe screensavers and other programs that were interesting instead of garbage that has Viagra commercials sandwiched inbetween them. That channel is so sad that the only support they can get is from companies that make pills to keep dysfunctional penii erect.

Bollocks, nothing good comes from 4chan. Just look at those whom came here from there. Before, this site wasn't as filled with people that flame people whom have questions about tech. Actually the worst forum staffers found this site from 4chan. Sad.

offtopic: oh god The ScreenSavers, Gadget Gear, Patrick Norton, Cat Schwartz Leo-Freaking LePorte! Call For Help! good times.....see you live in CA. That's where they would always broadcast until the show told too many hacking tips and reverse engineering help and was chased out.

nope..just like how Canada got TechTV for more years extra US chased them out. G4....G4 is now pertains to the the hetro yet obsessed about looks and styles demographic. Esquire.

How the hell did Jeff Winger get roped into doing this shit? Should've been Troy and Abed.

Nope. Esquire wound up replacing Style instead of G4, which still limps along mostly on the steam of reruns of Heroes and Lost. And year old X-Plays. Just last week I tuned into their big Wii U launch preview. LOL

 

[beundertaker]

the highlight was joel shitting all over game devs and shills. The industry is so out of touch with gamers, thank god we can pirate in this day and age.

 

[hhs]

Dude... that was painful to watch. There were so many "I feel embarrassed for you" moments. Everyone was flopping everywhere.

Staging didn't know what they were doing. Cuts were being made too soon and too late. It was like a high school production.

Troy and Abed in the Morning interviewing these studios would have been much too clever for Spike. It would also have been so much better.

That would be a 2008 vintage thread and I could probably go back further. "What is the best flashcart?" and "Can I get a flashcart/flashcard/linker for the lint in my pocket?" has always been a popular question and this place has been able to get a bit toasty.

Anyway did you watch the videos? Not all the segments work and some of the sections are unmistakably 4chan but a lot of it seems to be drawn from people that like and get games.

Maybe they decided editing a la youtube cretin was the way the kids like it these days.

 

[Chocolina]

I dont watch tv, so irrelevant.

 

[Motobug]

The video was removed...by Viacom? Why Viacom of all people?

This was produced by Spike TV, and Spike TV is owned by Viacom.

It goes all the way to the top!

A three hour movie was removed by Viacom? Good riddance; that thing, like the actual show, was shit.

 

[dgwillia]

We got this, so it was totally worth it. Loved to see the Division a bit more, along with South Park. And Joel McHale not giving a shit was just totally hilarious
