I went to the Video Game Awards on Tuesday and got some really good pictures. I was actually able to sneak back stage and get a few shots as well. Unfortunately that got me escorted off the property. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Oh, well. You can check out the pictures here.

While I appreciate you offering the pics, I must say that show is the biggest joke in existance.

Was it even a video game show?? All I saw were horrendous music acts and plenty of models and stars that looked annoyed to be there. Please someone tell Snoop Dogg to go away already.

oh.. Half Life 2 > Halo 2 :)

Nice to see Vin Diesel give props to Starbreeze on the show even though Diesel looked like he had nothing to say and wanted to get the hell outta there. Go Starbreeze!

I hope there isn't a third Spike Video Game Awards show.



to the OP..please fix the link!

It was pretty funny. I don't know if they had any rehearsals because it sure didn't look like it. I'm talking about the presenters it was really obvious that they were reading.

Did Half Life 2 or World of Warcraft win anything? Like FPS of the year or MMO of the year. I'm guessing no. Probably a big joke to real gamers.

Did you do anything like publicly humiliate their marketing/advertising department? They had that frickin logo across all their shows - I checked a screenshot, with GIMP. The logo took up a little over 10% of the screen! A damn animated logo that kept appearing. Then on the day of it, they had a countdown running in the corner of the shows. I just wanted to watch Deep Space Nine in peace.
Ok, I'm done venting about that. For now.

It seems like the video/music/gaming industries spend more time these days honoring themselves with award shows then creating new content.
