Doug Bowser sounded so nervous!

Meanwhile Mario's calling for Luigi to get the Kart ready while at the same time he's hurriedly searching for his Game Award invite and thinking I know exactly why he's nervous, Bowsers once again kidnapped Princess Peach.

TGA is way too long for a show that spends so little time on actually presenting the awards the night are supposedly about.

They should have had a pre show focused slowing on game trailers that is say an hour long, while the main show is 2 hours long.

Then everyone would watch the first hour and many would stop watching. They want three hours of ratings and they are being smart. People are much more interested in new content than hearing thank you speeches.

Problem with this is I get so bored I tune out mentally and start browing on the web and forget to unmute it for like 15 minutes. So I miss chunks. So many are PVP Battle Royal whatevers. It's hard to stay interested.

Deathloop is like this years TLOU 2 for TGA. Wouldn't be surprised if it took the GOTY award as well xD

Yeah. These awards are pretty rigged every year. Plus they always ignore Yakuza games for reasons I will never understand. Lost Judgment was incredible.

I'd be interested to see how they select these nominee's as winners in each select category. Feels like they just pick randomly the highest praised titles and roll with it lol.

Oh well I got AW2 announcement trailer and Space Marine 2 so I'm happy.

How many Awards do we have left?
Usually they have the BIG reveal before or after the Game of the Year.

I think 14 more categories?

14 more! I better get a synopsis, so my dear sweet Dulfite make it concise precise and a delight.

Was doing exactly the same, to a point where I had to rewind half the footage, meaning I'm no longer watching it live anymore, making the whole point of the show being live as pointless to me.

Too many ads, too much F2P/BR bs and very little gameplay footage and games that should be grabbing me, but aren't.

I'm starting to think last years show had me paying more attention than this years show.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

I miscounted. Every year they change up their order, names for categories, sometimes they merge them and sometimes split apart, sometimes they add entirely new categories. Then they drop some in bunches rapid fire, so I'm frantically typing lol. The mini concerts, I'm convinced, are Geoff's way of having sympathy on those of us trying to catch up lol.



Loool at least Deathloop didn't win. It takes Twoooo



HOLY COW HE's GOING TO SPEAK! IT TAKES TWO WON! Holy cow!



That was 3 hours of my life I want back. Last years was bad but this was worse. Back to playing VanQuish and Ruiner.
