There has been little said about which celebs will be showing up to this year’s Spike Video Game Awards, until now. Although already confirmed a while back, there is news that Snoop Dogg will again be at this year’s VGA’s. We have gotten news from a popular casting website that Snoop Dogg be presenting an award with a “Jamaican Queen”. Snoop is a prefect celebrity to join into the gaming festivities because he is a big gamer himself!
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...
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?
Was wondering who was going to show up this year. Not the biggest VGA fan but it is entertaining to watch, may be a bit of a joke but entertaining to say the least.
this show is a joke
I saw the list for the VGA's... And it's basically boils down to "Most hyped game wins!"
Why was Dragon's Dogma not found on ANY list at all?
I refuse to watch them... And Have not done so in a few years... I'll just see the trailers after the show!
SNOOOOOOOOOP!
-Their reaching out to an audience that still doesn't like video games or take it seriously.
-Having celebs also means more sponsors.
