Some people in here are really cold, that was a great tribute

 

[ArjanN]

Yeah, that was a really odd way to put it.

"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down"

Great tribute. Great speech.

Guys, I think Geoff did it. These awards are really kind of fantastic so far.

It's not bad, but I kind of feel there's still some residual Spike TV in the DNA of the show.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

There are some straight up miserable people in this thread.

these threads are always like this, some people just need to feel special and try to bring the edge out

 

[The Elite]

Wow. They went all out with this tribute.

 

[Morfeo]

Classy speech from Reggie, both he and Geoff struggled to keep tears away. What we are witnessing here is out industry growing up.

 

[Patapwn]

Reggie always a company man with that sales talk

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Sales numbers... Good lord Reggie.

It's appropriate when talking about the mans accomplishments. There's nothing wrong with it.

 

[Barnstorming]

Reggie comes through like a pro.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Amazing speech. Man was trying to hold back tears the whole time.

 

[dity]

Reggie: You aren't special. Iwata is special. But not you

No need to shit on the Reggienator.

 

[Shang]

It is stunning to hear Reggie speak so sincerely, especially since he normally filters himself heavily. The slideshow was unworthy, but Reggie's speech was beautiful.

 

[Extra Sauce]

I understand, Mr. Iwata.

I finally understand.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Why are so many of you being so toxic and ignorant about this moment? A man died and his friends bared their hearts on a stage and payed their respects publicly, now isn't the time for that.

Come on, now.

 

[RAWi]

I thought Far Cry ended already ;____;

More like Endless Cry. This is so sad, man.

Iwata was one of the best.

 

[RazielCuts]

Man, Ben Harper is here? What are they trying to do to us!

 

[Kamek]

What a shitty speech.

Are you kidding me? That was a wonderfully done speech and eulogy of sorts.

 

[Lasthope106]

Awesome job Reggie.

No awful music. This guys are doing the best game award shows ever.

 

[Chezzymann]

God, I'm legitimately angry at twitch chat right now. So many assholes.

 

[CrazedProfessional]

Wow, that speech was way better than Reggie's E3 speeches.

 

[UltraGunner]

Ben Harper is a surprise

 

[Krixeus]

Just got home and started tuning in. Did I miss anything good so far?

 

[Zomba13]

 

[Niks]

Yeah this was really great. Well done Geoff...

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Put your hands down, dicks.

 

[ratcliffja]

Reggie touting sales and mentioning how you feel about Wii and dismissing criticisms.

Damn dude, pick a eulogy or go the other route, not both.

He was the president of Nintendo who was often criticized for poor business decisions. This was basically showing how successful he was in business and the latter part touched on him as a person. I think it was appropriate, if a bit awkward.

 

[t hicks]

pls stop waving ur hands

 

[Glendemonium]

Good speech.

 

[UltimaPooh]

Jesus.

Reggie coming off like he's doing a press conference in his memorial of Iwata.

Wrong guy to speak about him.

 

[Ithil]

Uhh ok?

Apparently he wanted a tribute speech about a famous person to praise him individually .

 

[Olengie]

This is 2 hours right?

 

[-COOLIO-]

nicely done.

 

[Swhalen]

Oh god I can't handle it. ;_;

 

[Skelter]

Yea it's really off putting and a stark reminder about why I almost exclusively stay in OT.

Well there is a thread going on right now about how Rich people are better than poor people or some shit like that. Dicks on both sides of GAF.

 

[forrest]

Reggie talking about Iwata, followed by Ben. Good stuff T_T

 

[Torment]

What a shitty speech.

Seriously what the hell is wrong with you?

 

[Toa TAK]

• Wii
• Nintendogs
• Brain Age

and the other stuff Reggie listed...man Iwata really did have some brilliant ideas.

Yeah, as he was going off I didn't even have a clue. Dude was a genius.

 

[Auctopus]

Ok, why are we playing these terrible cliche songs and not nintendo pieces?

 

[Jebusman]

I still think last year's show was better overall, but that was some real deep shit there. Honestly if the rest of the awards could have felt as genuine as that moment, it would've been perfect.

 

[MemoryHumanity]

Fuck, that hurt. Reggie is a strong dude.

 

[Brqan]

Why are so many of you being so toxic and ignorant about this moment? A man died and his friends bared their hearts on a stage and payed their respects publicly, now isn't the time for that.

Come on, now.

Fanboys

 

[Salsa]

this should break into the kirby theme

 

[User1608]

Nice speech. The killjoys won't take away from how touching the tribute is. Oh god....the music.

 

[Kinyou]

This is a terrible fucking speech. I'm not unique? Fuck you Reggie. Jesus.

Really?

 

[Dicer]

and I thought the actual awards were boring ... haha

Fuck off with that classless junk...

 

[Obliterator]

This is really special. Thanks Geoff.

It is, if you read this thread after the fact, thank you Geoff

 

[LookAtMeGo]

My hype is now streaming down my face

 

[SeanR1221]

Well, it's not a far off assumption that he's leaning back towards his past experience in holding presentations just to keep it together, he looked pretty sad.

Thats probably true. Although I have to admit I'd burst out laughing if it was a segway into an announcement for the NX.

 

[ryanofcall]

:'(

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Sorry you had to find it out here guys, but you are not special. It's true. You probably aren't. Live with it.

That is really cold and uncalled for tbh.
