Spike VGA's are on right now

Least we get to see which company threw the most money at Spike...
Sellouts!

I like how people only claim money was "Thrown" at X website if they personally disagree with it. I bet you find Skyrim to be a pretty good game. How much money do you think Bethesda threw at Spike to get GOTY, especially when Activision can throw at least 20 times as much money at them with their day 1 sales alone...

yay for Blizzard winning Gamer God =D

portal 2 won all the good stuff, so this contest has been good imo

In other words: The award show is only a joke until your favorite game wins stuff. Then it becomes a good show.

oh my god someone made a fat joke to gabe newell at the awards show

what a plantain

Who doesn't make fat jokes to Gabe Newell?

Coming from you of all people? Bullshit. You'd be all over it like a child at christmas if they had said skyward sword had won game of the year or whatever.

Uh, you don't know me very well, then.

I'd say it's cool, but I wouldn't go spazz-tastic like that Nintendo 64 kid or anything.

Too bad minecraft still counts though it's been out for years.

It's like Spike's just trying to prove they're bad at hosting an actual awards show.

His Beer Gut doesn't. Then again, it's not quite reached enough mass to be truly sentient, maybe next year.

Last year's VGAs, Limbo beat Super Meat Boy.
Yeah...

Also Skyrim IS a good game, I don't get what you're trying get at though...

Think he's trying to prove money wasn't thrown at Spike.

I was under the assumption whether or not money was thrown around was irrelevant, since the result is still, well, bad.

sounds about as crazy as "the game I like didn't win because the other game gave Spike more money"

Almost as crazy as people taking the VGAs seriously or believing it's a "good show".

i think too many people in this thread are taking it too seriously. As long as Portal 2 came out with tons of awards I'm a happy camper

You're taking it too seriously by even caring about what awards were given out.

People take stuff that's on TV as srs? Oh jeez, I thought we live in 2011, not 2001.

I like Portal 2, so I rooted for them. I seem to be the only person in this thread who holds the entire place at entertainment value rather than bashing Spike for holding the awards in the first place.

too many people in here are getting their panties tied up over a TV station making money by putting something on TV


Edit- your very first post was to bash the thing. If anything you're taking it too seriously rather than watching it for fun

GRIMDARK western game beat out a colorful Nintendo game at a joke award show?

Calling it a joke award show means I take it seriously?

Nope. Even if Zelda won GOTY I still wouldn't give a damn. You seem to have it backwards.

that's the way it looks like from over here. Just like a game. Comparing someone playing it for fun to someone who's getting angry going "wtp the bug in this game just completely messed up my achievement!!". You tell me who's the one taking it seriously.

The Last Of Us looks sick. Can't wait for that.

Do you think he's mad?
