The second I saw that award show last year, I stopped calling myself a gamer when talking to people who don't play games... I was proud in the old days... Atari, NES, Super NES vs Genesis... But now Spike makes the whole video gaming thing look like a huge joke. As someone who has played games for a bit over 20 years, I'm officially ashamed.

Though I would support an official industry award kind of thing, like the Oscars or something... You know, a PROFESSIONAL show. From and for people who care about video games and what they are supposed to be.

Eventually they got to an award and for some reason they decided to paint the awards on naked women (really wasn't as hot as it sounds).

You're telling me they actually fucked up simple fanservice? How is that even possible? Or was it because you were actually watching Spike and your higher brain function simply refused to remain active during the show?

EDIT: I retract my question. I just remembered I've actually seen Stripperella (my brain must of tried to bury that memory) and that failed to be, well anything other than god-awful.


don't knock stripperella! That show is 7 kinds of awesome =) Cheapo = best bad guy, ever


 I'd rather watch VIP then Stripperella... and I HATE VIP.  Isn't it about time someone else gave Pam Anderson a show she stars in that doesn't last more then a half a season?


 Actually half way through it's only season it disappeared for a long while and when it finally come back the art style had changed but it more or less sucked just as hard. But it technically ended with a full season. =P

Cheapo was the only vaguley entraining aspect of that show I had any kind of favorable memory of, and the Venture Bros have a entire cast of crazy comedic villians that completely outshined him.

See the problem you guys had was that you came into the show with your brain turned on. You'll find the show much more entertaining if you switch it off before watching =)

 


 My brain was off and I still didn't enjoy it. I don't watch something called Stripperella and expect to be thinking in any way shape or form and it still never registered above a "meh". =P

Mace Windu? The original Starwars had Sir Alec Guinness as Jedi, the new trilogy has Samuel Jackson and Ewan McGregor. This comparison alone shows why the new trilogy did fail.

Somehow I can't stand Samuel el Jackson he always plays such an annoying wise-ass. The best movie scene ever was in Deep Blue Sea, where he gives a motivational speech and you see yourself having him for the rest of the movie giving good advice and pushing other people and in this moment the shark comes out of the water and eats him. One of my all-time favorites.

I mean really, who watches this crap? Is there anyone here actually guilty of watching garbage like Spike and G4? That was probably the worst 15 minutes television I've ever seen. Why do people support this crap?

You watched part of it.  You count as maybe half a viewer.  I'm sure people started tuning in and out later.  Just add all the half-viewers together and you get some whole ones.

Stil, this thread is lame.  Needs more Drill Bra.

I agree with KGB29. IMO they should have called it the 360 game awards and have had a separate PS3 and Wii awards show or something

haha i love how the only ps3 game that won anything was for best ps3 game! lol not including CoD4 because it's both systems.

 Well to be fair.  Other than COD4 it's not like the PS3 had any award winning caliber games.  Warhawk... maybe for a pure multiplayer award, but even then...

I didn't have a problem with any of the show because it was practically like every award show, so I was prepared for that. It was the lack of awards given out I had a problem with! The whole two hr. show had; 4 musical performances, 10 lame annoucers, 10 "comming to the spike channel" commercials within the show, and 6 game awards! WTF!!!
