    So, is anyone going to watch it tonight? I actually like the GOTY choices/nominations this year:

    -Assassin's Creed 3

    -Dishonored

    -Journey

    -The Walking dead

    -Mass Effect 3

    Personally I think Dishonered will win.

    If mass effect wins over the walking dead this event is a travesty

    I think Mass Effect 3 will win, ignoring the backlash the ending caused, people really seemed to have enjoyed it. Also from a marketing perspective, they can release it with all the DLC included, and slap a "GOTY" sticker on it. I mean c'mon this the same show that gave Megan Fox an award for best VA.

    I'm just looking forward to "The Last of Us" being shown if it happens.

    The VGAs will be a travesty either way, as they always are.

    But I do agree - ME3 doesn't deserve to win shit.

    Yeah, but now the game seems to suffer from spring release syndrome. (Like what happened to portal 2)

    What do you mean? Like, released early in the year but people think it came out the year before it's actual release? (Ie: I thought ME3 came out late 2011.)

    Also the little advert you get on the VGA section on the Xbox dashboard is brilliant, "Get your asses down here Friday night 9 eastern, 6 pacific, or if you're in Europe then... I dunno what the fuck time it's on, but you find it, alright?"

    Oh, it's this farce again.

    I hope my favourite game wins the thing.

    What I mean is that since ME3 was released early (march 2012 I believe), when compared to the other games that were released much later, could affect the voting.

    Though the VGA awards are rigged, so I guess the point is moot.

    I see what you mean.
    I'd like to bring up the fact this seems to be advertised heavily as the the first "VGA streamed on XBL" how much Microsoft promotion do you'll think it'll have? And another thing, Story of a sentry seems to have random words relating to Xbox live scrolling on areas with black in them.

    Yeah, it completely baffles me that some people actually seem to care about who wins the awards.

    The only reason anyone gives a shit about the VGAs is the trailers. Everything else is pure trash.

    Ha, the second question for Xbox users was, "Which Naughtydog property is your favorite? Uncharted, Jak and Daxter and Crash Bandicoot." This is going well.

    I said it with pure sarcasm.

    Oh good lord, they just handed Handsome Jack's VA his award, on the goddamn Pre-show, at least give the guy the award, during the award show!

    Sorry.

    And the Dishonored team apparently don't want to talk to Not-Weird Al. How embarrassing. Have... they like, done any planning, like the girl said "Now my pal will talk to more Walking dead people." "Not Walking dead girl, but the guys that made Skyrim, ok?"

    You've missed it, it was actually the first thing they did.

    And, ahem.... FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKERY! Give the VA's some fucking respect, give the them their damn award, during the damn thing! The VA of Clementine was just handed her award, on the pre-show, do they not want attention drawn away from the games.

    Is Nick Fury pulling the "Fake gamer/nerd girl" thing, on the hosts? Speaking of which, who is this "Tony Stark of video games" fellow, I've never heard of him.

    Even if the VAs were presented with elaborate awards, it wouldn't mean anything. I mean, when Megan Fox wins over Claudia Black, you know shit is bonkers.
