Gabe Newell will also collect the Fellowship Award.

 

[Gowans]

Awesome! Best games award show there is.

Will watch live in an hour then.

 

[Maleficence]

Mass Effect 3 for Story? lulz

 

[randomwab]

I hope Walking Dead takes everything, so I can see two thirds of Idle Thumbs looking awkward.

 

[Gowans]

Notch was awesome last year.

Out walking the hound, any pre show stuff happening?

 

[Meelow]

Game Innovation

Call of Duty: Black Ops II

...What?

 

[Visualante2]

Those ones to watch are certainly things I've never heard of, pity there's only 3 in that category. I see a Journey/Walking Dead sweep with at least one award for Dear Esther (British bias)

Innovation category still really confuses me.

 

[kSt]

The definitive video game awards show.
EDIT: Mobile & Handheld category is disappointing though.

 

[Gowans]

No GAME sponsorship or GAME award this year. Glad they've kept it up.

 

[iNvid02]

No GAME sponsorship or GAME award this year. Glad they've kept it up.

This made me laugh. From The Guardian. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2013/mar/05/bafta-video-game-awards-2013-live

The guests are gathered, the red carpet worn and the video game Baftas will commence in just over an hour. Luminaries already spotted include Valve co-founder, Gabe Newell (Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress, Steam) who will be accepted into the academy fellowship later this evening.

Randy Pitchford, co-founder of Gearbox is also in attendance, although we've been told he won't be answering any questions about his latest game (which stifles any questing reporter hoping to ask which bits of Aliens: Colonial Marines Pitchford and his staff actually developed).

The guests are currently quaffing and banqueting. Meanwhile, the press room is awash with Mountain Dew and Doritos in the contemporary hospitality style.

[Gav]

Its back! Shame its Mat Horne who its come back to.

 

[maniac-kun]

[CrunchinJelly]

This stream is lagging like hell for me.

 

[maniac-kun]

This stream is lagging like hell for me.

Pretty much unwatchable right now.

 

[waypoetic]

If it isn't the video being laggy, it's the audio. Right now i'm treating the show as a podcast :lol

EDIT: Journey wins best soundtrack! Go Sony dev's!

 

[Gowans]

Journey best Music, Sony on a roll.

 

[kSt]

Fine for me now. Try restarting.

 

[mclem]

Fine for me. Got it on in the background while raiding

 

[Wario64]

Not lagging for me. You know you can change resolution, right?

 

[Gav]

Don't want to tempt fate, but im streaming it at 1080p, and not a visual or audio glitch in sight.

 

[Anilusion]

No lag for me, 1080p+.

 

[iNvid02]

[Wario64]

Don't want to tempt fate, but im streaming it at 1080p, and not a visual or audio glitch in sight.

Exactly

Anyway, Journey wins music, shocking

 

[maquiladora]

Austin Wintory retweeted Sunhi's PS4 gif. Award deserved.

 

[waypoetic]

No lag for me, 1080p+.

360p on WiFi in my kitchen and having a glass of water..

 

[Gowans]

Haha Dark Souls vent.

I need to get Thomas was alone.

 

[maquiladora]
