Wow this video really paints video games and fans of video games in a brilliant light for all those onlookers

Yea, it makes it look like they have a sense of humor.

 

[Chuck]

lol

 

[grkazan12]

Neil Druckmann, his wrath continues

 

[Cyriades]

this just might be worse than the VGAs.

nah, not yet anyways

 

[SwiftDeath]

Yea, it makes it look like they have a sense of humor.

That video wasn't funny at all though. It was dumb

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Find it hard to find this funny when so many people are using food banks /nofunpolice

That Bioshock spoof was kind of funny at first, but it's dragging along now. Talk about overkill.

Nah, the woman with the burrito and that last part with Elizabeth was pretty good.

 

[Freeman]

That video wasn't funny at all though. It was dumb

I bet it was funny to someone.

 

[Slavik81]

I'm editing the OP.

I'm actually more interested in the IGF awards. I arrived halfway through the show.

 

[jayu26]

Wait...wait...wait. I went to same University as Anita Sarkeesian?

 

[nicanica]

WHY would you cut to an audience cam like that?

 

[GalacticToast]

I love hearing about feminism and harassment at video game award shows.

 

[aly]

Those attacks against Anita were wrong. However, her videos are misleading and inaccurate. She did'nt do anything to deserve this imo. Sit down Druckman.

 

[Chuck]

what's up with druckman's accent?

 

[wildfire]

That video wasn't funny at all though. It was dumb

It was simplistic but it wasn't dumb.

 

[Freeman]

Kyle Bosman has much better videos and didn't ask for money. Give him an award.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

What is this i don't even...

 

[BlackBuzzard]

If only Neil forced out Sarkesian here.

 

[figadapaura]

this just might be worse than the VGAs.

Impossible.

 

[FacelessSamurai]

I have to say it, Anita Sarkeesian is a joke. I hope she is surprised to receive that award, she definitely didn't deserve it and I can honestly say I do not see the impact she's had on the videogame industry in general. She doesn't belong there.

 

[GalacticToast]

Impossible.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the possibility.

 

[kassatsu]

Cue to crowd shot of all men.

 

[Freeman]

Sounds so arrogant to preach that in a game developers conference.

 

[Hupsel]

Man Im not sexist at all but the videogame industry is trying hard as hell to put any women in the spotlight every chance they get. At least get something for Amy Hennig then.

amazing

 

[Makai]

I haven't actually seen her work, but if it's helped push for critical analysis of games, I'm all for it.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Did the host lady just put on a Titanfall hoodie?

 

[udivision]

Liquid Bosman made sure that will never happen.

Yes and get Neil to present it.

 

[Chuck]

for everyone else who paused, you can come back now.

 

[GalacticToast]

Why does she feel the need to force horrible jokes every chance she gets?

 

[Freeman]

Liquid Bosman made sure that will never happen.

That shadowless bastard.

 

[jett]

Compared to the BAFTAs this might as well be as awful as the VGA's.

I guess the morale is that America should just stop trying.

 

[Megasoum]

Did the host lady just put on a Titanfall hoodie?

It's Abbie Heppe, she's the community manager at Respawn.


Also, I really like Abbie but all her jokes/skits are falling really flat tonight.

 

[shwimpy]

Abbie...

 

[figadapaura]

Did the host lady just put on a Titanfall hoodie?

Gotta earn a living.

 

[Pryce]

GG another one.

That shadowless bastard.

Reflectionless. He's a ghost baby not a monster

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Half assed critical analysis and confrontional short tempered superficial arguments...

 

[Freeman]

TLoU beast mode ignites.

 

[aly]

TLOU forcing everyone else out.

Also Tomb Raider? Really?

 

[KumaJG]

Abbie...

Pretty much this everytime she tells a joke

 

[RockTurtle]

is sarkesian gone yet? i assume she went beyond the 1 minute everyone else who got an award spent thanking for the award.

 

[Chuck]

oh man these jokes...





._.

 

[Makai]

I think Papers Please deserves a fifth.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Papers Please or Gone home? Oh the anticipation

I'm going with Papers Please

Lucas going to start rapping soon. I can feel it

Best Downloadable Game - Papers Please

 

[Chuck]

twist!

 

[Chavelo]

Papers, Please is just clearing house.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

I haven't actually seen her work, but if it's helped push for critical analysis of games, I'm all for it.

As far as I remember she came under fire for misrepresenting games that she used in her videos, a lot of criticisms stemmed from people believing she hadn't played the games that were criticized.

I personally cannot stand her for the attitude she presents in her videos as opposed to her views.

It's a difficult space. I currently live with Psychology, Politics, Sports, Sociology and Journalism students and we often discuss things like this, funnily enough a lot of the women were arguing against women taking major roles as they found them less engaging than male (i was arguing the opposite - it was following a discussion about who should be the main characters in True Detective) and it's quite worrying how people write women off in consumable media.

I'm all for more female characters in video games, really, I just don't think having a 'damsel in distress' removal process would be good. I've been with my partner for a number of years now and I know I'd go to the ends of the Earth for her, love is one of the most powerful driving forces behind people (I'd say the other is revenge, fyi) and thus it's hugely powerful in gaming, movies, etc...

 

[SwiftDeath]

Ugh some Naughtydog guy was shown to be on his phone during lucas's speech

 

[ckohler]

40MB Zipped. Lol.
