The Official SPIKE VIDEO GAME AWARDS Show Thread

Mike Works said:
So Nintendo was the only Japanese company that won any awards, huh?
Yes, although HIDDY-o Ko-JEE-muh's name and game were given a special presentation since it was up for Best Game Evar against GTA2.

Also, Katamari Damacy was all OVER the damn place. Not only was video shown, it was (the only marginally funny) part of the "Failed Celebrity Voice Acting Auditions" clip.

Sean Connery: "This ball is humongous! Oh, look, I've picked up a pencil."
 
Worst video game award show ever, considering Snoop wouldn't get the fuck off the stage. It just sucked anyways, like G-Phoria...but worse.

Anyone care to describe the Godfather stuff they were showing?

A quick FMV- it was just the guy sitting behind a desk saying "One of these days, I may call upon you for a favor.", etc. etc.

THAT GAME LOOKS SWEET, YO!
 
Can we get a summary of the winners? I really don't want to dredge through nine pages of people bitching about rappers and how mainstream games have become...
 
HAY GUYS RAP IS BAD WHY DIDN'T KATAMARI DAMACY WIN BEST GAME? I DON'T UNDERSTAND RAPPERS LIKE SNOOP WHY DOESN'T HE DO ROCK MUSIC INSTEAD? OMG HE SAID "GTA 2." DID I MENTION I HATE RAP?

But it's 9 pages of FUNNY bitching.

I don't think so. The voters must've checked the wrong box in some Florida style election debacle, or Spike must've mispelled Astro Boy on the card.

Dude. Seriously. How good is Astro Boy?

:lol

I loved Agent Dormer's parodying, but seriously: some of the quotes in here are just as bad as the awards show itself.
 
Damn so many haters of rap in this thread. Yes suck it down people, your lovely rock has been regulated to the back burner. I don't understand all the hate, I don't like rock music but I don't go around hating on rock band either.
 
I'm not gonna bother reading through this long ass thread and I'm sure these points have already been beaten to death but I can't help but type up this vent post so here goes...

GODDAMN WAS THAT THE MOST AMATEURISH AWARD SHOW I'VE EVER WITNESSED AND IF THIS GOD FORSAKEN SHIT HAPPENS TO COME AROUND AGAIN NEXT YEAR, HOW ABOUT SOME NON-EA GAMES NEXT TIME! FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

Thanks for providing me this avenue to vent and have a good day.

Repressed racism, still alive and kicking in the ol' US of A! Yes yes, they'll now all deny it vehemently but the tone of their posts is so disrespectful it's obvious to anyone else their true feelings on the whole Black matter.

Anyway, funny thing about the whole EA bought everything is that looking at that list of award winners EA won like 4 out of 20 or so, hardly a sweep.

I'd love to give you a complete list/summary but they blew through the game awards so fast I didn't even realize they gave any out. I guess they needed to devote as much time possible to West Side Story....err, I mean Def Jam opening number.
 
I just want to know if I missed the memo that told me that gaming culture and rap/hip-hop culture suddenly decided to overlap to such a degree.

Gee skip, I guess you really hate black people then.

Sorry, but we're beaten to death day in and day out with rap music and culture. I have no problem at all with "black" people. I DO have a problem when said culture is forced unto the viewership of an awards show that doesn't immediately claim to be rap-run.

I suppose that Snoop Dogg's presence should have alerted me to the fact that the show would be rap-dominated, but come on... viewers were beaten over the head with it (and its associated 100 censored swear words) for the first ten minutes!

It's the culture that I have a problem with... not the race. Check yourself before levelling such general observations.

Give me a break, you should check yourself first, let's see how you've demonstrated yourself over the thread:

Oh, God. More Snoop on Snoop action. How many changes of clothes has real Snoop had in 75 minutes? 8?

Snoooooooooooooooooooooooo-oooooop!

Rock is dead. Long live rap.

*retch*

Someone's gotta cover for Snoopy while he's ganja smokin'

Yeah... that new "Roll My Doobie" game is pretty popular these days.

Yay... more "Hot Girls Read Cheat Codes". Ugh.

Ooooohhh... it's free advertising for Game Informer! Nice shirt, Snoopy. It detracts us from your bloodshot eyes.

It's basically the Source Awards with a few games and some hot women who know nothing about games thrown in for good measure.

*incessant barking*

What up, playa? Playaz?

*continued retching*

I need a Delorean to go back to when music used to be good. I remember when people even played guitar. Amazing.

GTA: San Andreas is the game of the year. Big surprise there. Too bad that Sam Jackson is accepting an award for GTA2. Ass.

Oh, no... WTF is Snoop doing? NOOOOOO!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Stop it! You're ruining my childhood, you bastard! Shut the hell up!

I missed who won Best Rap Artist Who Wasn't Stabbed for 2004.

So that's 11 derogatory comments aimed at rap/Snoop/Snoop's drug habits/and some other shady comments as well ("GTA winning is a big surprise, calling Samuel L an ass..")

Now to be fair, you did launch some insults against those of the fairer folk, let's take a gander
VD: I guess... I guess... I guess... I guess... I guess...

WTF? Was he skipping?

Frankie has such a stiffy right now. He's probably missing Lizzie McGuire, though. :lol

Uh-oh... Motley Crue time.

"Girls Girls Girls"... natch.

Whoa... Vince Neil slimmed down...

This could have been worse... but it's actually get guitars in it. I'll take it.

I'm never playing another Motley Crue song at my gigs EVER again. I hope Vince Neil suffers a stroke.

I'm so totally pissed off right now.

Ok, so that's 4 right there, with the first two being pretty tame and initially complimenting Vince Neil. And I believe the last comment of yours, the one that is most strongly worded, is in regards to Snoop singing along with Motley Crue.

See, I can appreciate not liking rap, in fact I'm not terribly fond of it myself, but I'm not going to feel personally assaulted when an already low brass awards show chooses hip hop as its main theme. A normal person may make one post voicing their displeasure in choice of themes, fine, no real harm in that, but you've gone far away above and beyond the call of duty. I mean do you really find it SOOO offensive? Just look at the vile and disgust that show through in your words.

And the whole point is, I don't even think you see it yourself you're blissfully ignorant of your own subconscious bias. Maybe now you can examine yourself a little bit more honestly.


And isamu, I'm arab not black, though I guess that still makes me African.
 
you gotta be kidding? the guy has a preference for rock over rap and you think he's being racist? I'm sure he'd hate it just as much if it was eminem & vanila ice doing a duet with kiss..

I think perhaps you are being over sensitive here..
 
I'm sorry, but disliking the commercialized form of hip-hop culture is NOT the same thing as racism, and I really don't understand how you got from A to B in your mind.
 
That show was utter bullshit. And yes, the hiphop coat of paint made it worse. It was just sloppy and clearly intended for those viewers that don't know any better.
 
Hey Rastex, its not his fault that a black man got the name of the goddamned game he did voice acting for wrong.
