between physconauts 2, shadowrun, and jeff green and garry whita in this video this has been a surprisingly great game awards

I watched it expecting a trainwreck, but I'm actually enjoying parts of it. This Westwood segment is nice. I enjoy listening to game history.

 

[hamchan]

Man EA, what did you do to Westwood

 

[Jams775]

I thought westwood shut down?

 

[mnz]

I thought westwood shut down?

Weird how they didn't mention this, huh?

There used to be a show on G4 called Icons that was essentially that segment. Really enjoyed that show. Wish someone would do something like that again.

At first I thought you were being smarmy so I double checked

Westwood was shut down in 2003 when it failed to meet the commercial expectations that EA had for it. Westwood was liquidated, and many employees moved on to EA Los Angeles (which has gone on to developed many titles in the Command & Conquer franchise). Westwood's last game was a PC MMORPG titled Earth & Beyond.

Last year they didn't mention Sierra On-line being sold either @_@

 

[Jams775]

Yeah, but they were "back".

I remember that show! I loved that. It was the best thing to come out of that channel.

Johnny V!

 

[hamchan]

Hype man Johnny V!!!!

 

[danm999]

Johnny V!

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Yeah, but they were "back".

Still though, they didn't mention the tumultuous moments that the company faced.

This is a celebration of the work these icons outputted. It would just be wrong to say at the end 'Oh by the way westwood was bought by EA and shutdown, enjoy your statue lol'.

 

[Askherserenity]

Haha JV

 

[BUNTING1243]

i guess they recorded this before disney infinitey lost.


wonder how much EA paid for these battlefront parts

 

[alr1ght]

YAY Johnny V

Gotta stop this EA shilling though

 

[The Dear Leader]

Disney shill mode activated.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Johnny V in full-on "Company Man" mode.

 

[ratcliffja]

Johnny V making girls cry.

 

[StoveOven]

At least somebody from Disney is shilling Battlefront now.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Haha Johnny V screaming like he's infront of a crowd

 

[skLaFarebear]

Johnny V is the best.

 

[KnightHart]

Man Johnny went full business man on us there

 

[BUNTING1243]

everything is star wars

 

[omgkitty]

I LOVE JOHNNY V

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Haha Johnny V.
The only man I can't hate for shilling for EA

 

[hamchan]

Johnny V always so excited/nervous presenting this stuff lol.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

I hope Jeff and the rest of the guys roast the fuck out of Johnny V on the next Bombcast for this.

 

[Kaizer]

Johnny V is amazing lol

 

[Resident4t.]

I think that's the first time I've seen someone excited about Battlefront.

 

[omgkitty]

Mark Hamill making mad jokes.

 

[alr1ght]

To be fair, he and Adam did play a bunch of Battlefront last week.

 

[mnz]

http://www.giantbomb.com/westwood-studios-inc/3010-261/

Hah, I was just taking a dig at the EA sponsorship of the show

 

[BUNTING1243]

oh man this is some konami bullshit

thank you for your two words of voice acting, jack

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Wait, MGSV is more of an action adventure than Witcher 3 Even Ori? wat

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Mark Hamil looks a lot better these days

 

[Jams775]

hmmm whats going on here :/ Kojima

edit: wow it was really just a call out?

 

[BUNTING1243]

oh man oh man oh man this is great tear them geoff

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Holy fuck, Kojima got screwed by Konami.

 

[danm999]

Hahaha holy shit Keighly going on in Konami.

 

[hamchan]

Keighley just shitting on Konami is pretty awesome.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Er, I thought they were doing a goof. That was awkward.

 

[Mindlog]

Dear Giant Bomb,
So was that Johnny V on coke or Johnny V not drunk?

[Salty Catfish]

Geoff just brought it, HARD. Good on him.

 

[Twin Tails]

Er, I thought they were doing a goof. That was awkward.

Naw, call em out.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

I have only been half listening, but has Geoff always been dropping the "uhs" or has it only been this little Kojima bit?

 

[EdReedFan20]

Man, I thought at first it was all a ruse by Geoff. Nope, Konami is just that petty.

 

[mnz]

Er, I thought they were doing a goof. That was awkward.

I think that was fantastic. Deserved callout.

 

[StoveOven]

Breaking News: The entire gaming industry has just been blacklisted by Konami

 

[Askherserenity]
