She was 100% reading what was in the envelope. It's slightly embarrassing that she didn't know the name of the actual game that the award was for, but I don't think that's on her.

I'm sure the images are being collated now and the gifs are being created. such a trivial joke. a joke!
Yup. Bad look from Jim. It's like he has something against Geoff or these awards. Which are actually pretty good. Sure it's commercialized but Geoff is paying most of this out of pocket he's gotta get advertisers.
I'm glad we have someone like Geoff who really does put his all into this shit.

If you look closely you can actually pinpoint the exact moment his confusion sets in.

Whats funny is I have been to tons of award shows with snaffus. That is the angriest and most frustrated I have ever seen someone look lol

I'm sorry but the woman next to him if that's his wife... way to go man.
Yep.
Back on the topic at hand. I thought it was good show. The Jade part which was funny and I thought it was the award show fuck up at first.
At first I thought she probably misread since she didn't seem like a very strong reader up to that point.
Oh Bosman. Poor Bosman. This will stick around for a while, lol
I'm going to drop a bit of knowledge on you.
Jim is an asshole.
He has always been an asshole.
Thing is, he's always been an asshole to the people you also don't like, so everyone is like "Yay Jim".
Now he's being an asshole to someone that you like, and it's all "Jim why?"
But it shouldn't surprise you why.
Because he's an asshole.
Maybe he's working on his McHale impression.

It was a better produced show compared to last year. Much more professional too.
Some of the awards I don't agree with but I didn't play many of them so I can't disagree either.
All I know is that my GOTY is Bloodborne and it sucks that it didn't win any awards
Jade throwing shade at Kiefer was weird, she was probably under some kind of influence or the teleprompter was messed with.
I enjoyed the performances but the sounds are off. It seems as though they weren't loud enough. I'm sure they were loud in person but on the streams they were pretty quiet. I'm also pretty sure that the after-party will be tons better for music since many more people will be in a more intimate location and under the influences of alcohol or drugs.
Again, I think many people were expecting way too much in terms of reveals and premieres. This is an award show aimed for the mainstream so expect many ads, musical performances related and unrelated to the videogames industry. With another show coming this weekend (PSX) people should expect more announcements there and not here.
The saddest parts about this award show are the tributes and the people being dicks about them. It's ok if you don't care and aren't interested but please refrain from telling us your thoughts about dead people and pioneers in this industry. You come off as rude and immature and disrespectful. I know this is a stupid question but how would many people like to see their versions of an videogame award show with no ads but they also have to appeal to the mainstream audiences and get paid to keep producing their awards show?
Overall, Geoff has a good thing going. With more money he should have better production values next year since next year is going to be packed with games. Last years was a solid 7/10 and this year beats it by one point, 8/10. The overall presentation value was way better. Focused on the awards and focused on the games with not too much on either side. I think Geoff needs to find musical performances that resonate more with the crowd and the industry. I know that not many people know who CHVRCHES are so it was a bit lackluster for the crowd and the viewers. Generic big room, house, and dubstep doesn't do well in a crowd like this and it will only hurt the performer. Sad to say it but EDM producers/djs play off of the energy of the crowd that are drunk, high, or crossfaded and it gives off a much more livelier scene than this.

Yeah, but these things can seriously flip flop in a matter of hours, even done deals.
I mean maybe he was just being untruthful but I don't see what he would gain for outright telling a lie.

No. I'm saying whoever printed that envelope messed up. It was a mistake and it's not some huge conspiracy or proof of anything

Great show, Geoff! Much improved from last year.
Next year, suit up though! You're a big boss.

Yeah, is he pouting because he wasn't put forward for Trending Gamer or something? Don't see what the beef is, this is old news, Jim.

All this 'lol Raymond drunk af' comments seem really weird, like a creepy ass vibe. She was nervous on stage and you're picking apart everything she did. And then the card was wrong so she read that out instead? She knew it was wrong when she said it, that's why she looked back to the stage and said 'What?' Like damn, internet is creepy as fuck when women are concerned. No wonder after the Assassins Creed days she went away for a while. She comes back into the spotlight for 5 minutes and she's dissected in every detail, damn.

She screwed up the announcement of the winner of the award she was there to give (Which probably wasn't fully her fault. I think the card was misprinted). Plus people seem to be a bit tiffy about her MGS joke.
I mean, I'm not mad at her or anything, but I haven't seen anything but some playful jabs about her being a little tipsy and screwing a thing or two up. Which seems pretty reasonable. I don't think anyone is being overly mean.
This is actually a perfect summary of the Jim Sterling tweet. Dude specifically makes money off the persona of being an asshole. I don't know why people are surprised that he's continuing on being an asshole.

So many great reactions. I particularly like how everyone else is clapping like they couldn't give two shits about whatever just happened.

Oh, Jim's out to destroy the competition, I see.
Whelp, next year's awards show is on Sterling.
You're welcome.
Last year selection was way weaker than this year. Maybe even Fallout4 would have won.
Liked DA:I, but it won because of lack of competition.
Wrpg again? Coincidence. Witches 3 Is The best game this gen until now.

It was alright overall, though it could have been better. One major thing I'd like them to do is add a dress code. CDPR representative in sweat pants, some other guy in shorts and sandals. Was a bit too unprofessional looking for my taste.

Loathsome behavior. Geoff has been contributing to gaming in a big way for over a decade.
