This isn't a thing would should be celebrating.
4chan's "Vidya Gaem Awards" are back -- see which game won their coveted "Least Hated" award.
From AlienLion:
When Kelsey Grammer hosted the Grammys, folks were surprised, since he is an actor and not a musician. Gaming folks, on the other hand, give no poop about the fact that we have the Video Game Awards brimming with movie and music stars, who have little to do with gaming. VGA X was basically an hour-long Sam Jackson commercial, and yes, he did voice a character in GTA: San Andreas but Kelsey Grammer has probably sung a song or two. Now, I’m not ranting or anything, I just find it somewhat strange, especially considering how often it results in awkwardness.
What’s most perplexing is the fact that these celebs themselves willingly (I assume) agree to actually get involved in things so completely out of their waters. I can understand when someone like Shaq simply sells his likeness for a game like Shaq Fu and says “I don’t give a shit, just send the checks,” but why anyone would actually go and spend time and effort to participate in games and gaming, without first...
I liked Rise to Honor when I was younger :O This could be the nostalgia speaking of course XD
It's not a bad game but there really is no point to it featuring Jet Li if you think about it.
As much as I love Kingdom Hearts games the celebrity voices do nothing for me and some of them are downright awful at it.
Rocket Jump: On this week’s show Jim, Todd and Ben give their thoughts on the VGA’s, custom controller accessories, and swap stories about getting wounded. Also, the question of the week: What do you want for Christmas?
I feel like this was filmed in 2005. Sam Jackson, Jessica Alba, Snoop Dogg, cliche intro music popularized by Kill Bill.
I guess that's mildly better than the cast of Jersey Shore and a punch-drunk Mike Tyson trying to do a bit together on stage, but it's still nowhere near "good".
Well, I can't get your site to load but I agree with the title. Some great trailers and great news but the overall MTVizing of the thing made me cringe. I'm getting kinda nostalgic for the days when you would be ashamed to call yourself a gamer. When IGN video reviews were done by pudgy nerds who clearly were not reading from a script and seemed intimidated by the camera in front of them. It's a shame the big money went out of the music industry or these hype monsters wouldn't be busting in on our little habit and trying to cover it in ridiculous hype and glamour.
I didn't think that the VGA's were great this year. But this article was just awful. They showed some really good trailers. And basically as soon as they showed the main character of The Phantom Pain, it caught my interest because many gamers will notice that haircut. I highly doubt that game is actually The Phantom Pain. The awards were okay, but I think most people watch it for the world premiers.
Backstage was the best the woman interviewing the Valve trio calling Gabe Garry classic vga's. This entire show could really do without the terrible celebrity appearance's.
@Mega
You could see Dario's reaction when she said Garry.

Also later on she apologized on twitter to a Gabe Newell troll account its the train wreck that kept going.
The dude-bro mentality got old quick, but it is Spike TV, I wasn't expecting everyone to dress their best and be polite. Also, games are about fun and excitement, what better way to draw in viewers than have big name people take to the stage and present great games.
My only dissapointment was the lack of attention to the games though. I mean, it is an awards ceremony, where are the awards! I think I only counted 5 awards being given out.
And the game of the decade segment was horrible. I expected them to at least acknowledge why each game was nominated.
