I still have to play The Walking Dead. I think getting bored in the middle of season 2 of the show turned me off it.

 

[Lime]

Weird seeing people in suits talking about shallow AAA games.

 

[Wario64]

Bafta has the best picks every year.

Show seems presentable too compared to other award shows

 

[waypoetic]

Michael Underwood! Anyone who's appeared as a contestant on The Crystal Maze has gamer cred.

Same thing happened to me, but the game is fantastic and, thankfully, stand alone.

Bafta sets the bar, treats it just like the other arts they award.

 

[Vlodril]

That guy really likes skinning animals.

Hahaha!!!

Ooo Dara O'Brian! Just tuning in to this now, looks great.

Currently keeping up with the awards via The Guardian's live blog as A) Twitch doesn't want to work on my work's PC and B) I can't find any other liveblogs. It's just a shame that the live blogger is quite inaccurate with what he's posting. He has posted that Journey won the Best Soundtrack award at the Grammys and that The Walking Dead game is six episodes long. Bah!

The initial monologue was great, that needs to be captured and kept handy.

 

[kassatsu]

FIFA award for FIFA

:O New Star Soccer

 

[waypoetic]

Go go go Forza Horizon!

 

[lazybones18]

They need to hurry up and get to the Handheld/Mobile category

 

[Gowans]

My mates love New Star Soccer, well done!

 

[Wunder]

Wow! Flash/Mobile game?

 

[waypoetic]

WHAT ._.

 

[Median]

New Star Soccer won?! Wow, well deserved! That game ate a ton of my time a while back.

 

[Lime]

Weird that something like VGAs get an insane amount of replies and hits compared to this much more sober show.

[iNvid02]

[SmokyDave]

Oh, the times, they are a changing.

 

[iNvid02]

blops 2 was robbed

 

[maquiladora]

Dayum, Unfinished Swan again.

 

[OMG Aero]

It's not really that weird when you consider that:
a) They have new game announcements instead of being a straight awards show
b) They're American so more people on GAF know/care about it

 

[Gowans]

Unfisnied Swan for Inovation. Wow they are cleaning up.

 

[kassatsu]

YES!

Unfinished Swan > Journey

 

[swirlyglasses]

Blops for game innovation HAHAHAHAHA oh boy.

 

[waypoetic]

This is awesome.. So many great indie games on PS3.

 

[Sinatar]

Borderlands 2 for "artistic achievement"?

Wut?

 

[BGBW]

A little hint there that the PS4 and NeXtBox versions of FIFA will be stripped down versions.

 

[iNvid02]

it deserves something

 

[waypoetic]

C'mooon Jourrrrneeey! *rolls dice*

 

[Gowans]

Well done Journey, Sony clearing up. Artistic Award.

 

[BGBW]

FIFA13 shouldn't win for the sole reason that EA just reskinned FIFA12 for half the systems out there. Such a practice should not be praised.

 

[maquiladora]

Space Jam reference. Best awards.

 

[Gowans]

Love these heartfelt speeches.

 

[waypoetic]

League Of Legends or Starcraft 2?

Don't have the volume on, who's the guy in the wheelchair?

Runs a charity that helps disabled people play games.

 

[Gowans]

Damn gona have to pause in 15, Geordie Shore time with the Mrs

 

[Gowans]

Knew it would be Song Pop, it was massive for a bit. Poor devs

 

[waypoetic]

Oh, online browser games. Misunderstood that one

 

[Wunder]

Wow they managed to get some cool dudes to present.

 

[swirlyglasses]

Watching it at 720p without any staggering whatsoever. Lowering resolution might help.
The Walking Dead, Thomas Was Alone and Journey all have excellent story's, but Dishonored? Dishonored doesn't have a good plot, it has excellent world building and gameplay.

The Walking Dead deserved the win. They did seem awfully eager to get off the stage though as quickly as possible.

Yeah some of these nominations are just dumb. I think most of the winners deserve it though.

Oh, Gowans...
