I'm so grateful I've never liked the VGAs/VGX/whatever. In fact, it's shit like this which is why I have such an extremely large loathing for gaming culture, no matter how large my love for the medium of video games is.

VGX was frankly an embarassment.  Like they didn't even try (seriosly McHale who was the guest of honor didn't rehearse)

When I'm feeling like this, I tend to watch other people play games instead of playing them myself.  I speak, of course, about watching Let's Plays.

To each his own.

The only LPer I watch is Tobuscus and I don't tend to like watching other people because I get so frustrated with how they do things. Not just with video games but also with computers in general (because mum was notorious for not doing things 'the right way') I prefer to do shit for myself.

The VGA gave GTA5 game of the year. Thats enough for me to not give a rats ass about them.

Just so you all know, the original Fallout games are free over on GOG for the next couple of days. I'd strongly recommend you all grab yourselves a copy or ten.

I would love to, but it looks like I'm going to have to wait until their servers start working properly :S

Still can't think of a signature a year later.

OOOOHHH!

Oh wait, I've already got them.

Well I guess I should just spread the word then.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Yeah, now it won't even let me pull up the login window. The button is just totally unresponsive.

Watch Alcheastbreach if you're into Fallout, Skyrim games.  He's funny and gets the review out of the way at the beginning so he can go on adventures.

Ironbite-the commentary usually stops when he has to interact with NPCs.

It took about 5 minutes of fiddling with the site and repeatedly reloading, but I finally got all the Fallout games "purchased". Now I just need to wait for the site to stop trying to kill itself long enough to get them downloaded.

Thanks to a generous corpmate, I was able to build myself a shiny new Astero-class frigate in EVE Online.
