Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Awesome. now I might watch.
He rocked the ubi conferences a few years ago.

I hope he gives us an inspiring Winger speech at the end, to cheer us up after we're all horribly disappointed.

He does the Ubi conferences, right?
I remember him from that awful US IT Crowd pilot.

Nice! Guy always did a great job at Ubisoft even though the content wasn't so hot.

Just wish it was on TV. Have no doubt the stream will have issues over that 3+ hour run time.

This is awesome. I like him a lot.
There were no real issues last year on GT. The same can be said for this year's E3, which grabs a ton more users.

Joel McHale is a great choice! For once I'm cautiously optimistic for this show.

the most prominent memory i have of joel mchale and video game event hosting involves that ubisoft laser tag thing so hopefully this ends up being a bit better

With Special Guest Appearance by Mankini®!
Dude is great on The Soup and Community, and he did the best he could with the trainwreck Ubisoft conferences he hosted. Should be a good show
Joel did the two years where Ubisoft had like zero shit together. The year James Cameron talked about his movie for an eternity and then didnt show the game, and the year they had Laser Tag

To give him (perhaps undue) credit, it's never as terrible.

Is this an awards show still?
It really doesnt seem to be getting much hype this year.

You missed the threads where games that weren't out already had nominations for GOTY. The award show part of this will be a fucking joke. This is a very real attempt at an e3-esque hype train for next summer.

That's a really awesome choice. I love the guy.
I'm excited for this now.
I know it'll still be the worst games that win, and the announcements will disappoint, but hey I might get something not completely cringe worthy.
never forget the tea bagging

It's who they could get because someone dropped out at the last minute?

The lasertag one?
I thought he was bored and clearly had contempt for having to be there. It was hilarious, but only because of how much everyone involved hated it.

The fact they're confirming this the day before the event really says a ton about how seriously they're handling the actual "awards show" part of the event this year.

Last year's show wasn't completely awful, which was a step in the right direction. This year they added a X which is so, so dumb... but Joel McHale? Maybe not completely awful is in the cards again this year!!
