Cool. I like last year's show. Yeah, it had its flaws, but hopefully this year will be nothing but improvements.

This is nice and all but I sure miss having Geoff do regular content on the web.
That one episode of his podcast was real good... maybe one day will will get a second.

I don't understand this mindset. Why would anyone want the show to be bad? Last year's had genuine effort.
Outside of the pacing and some production issues, the awards were fair, the premieres for decent (a gameplay reveal for a Zelda game outside if an E3 Conference or Direct, that's a huge catch for Geoff), the Siera homage, Koji freaking Kondo playing Zelda music with Imagine Dragons.
Why would anyone try to continue making fun of the show instead of encouraging it?

He probably should always do podcasts around this time of the year, to generate hype for the game awards. Would work.

There was far more wrong with that show than Joel. It was quite terrible.

Imagine Dragons and Koji Kondo. Easily my highlight of the show:

For an awards show that aired for its first time, I thought it was pretty well done. But I can understand when people say there's room for improvement.

The last one or the one with Joel?
Definitely pumped for the show this year. How Geoff was able to turn the disaster that was VGX around into last year's show is simply incredible. Yeah they weren't perfect, but they were infinitely more bearable than the Oscar's or Emmy's ever are.
Plus I'm really curious how Nintendo's presence will be this year, since they've been quiet as all hell since E3. Last year I was surprised by how involved they were, and the Mario Maker and (especially) Zelda stuff were big gets for Geoff so I don't doubt he could get something sweet for this year as well. I'd be shocked beyond belief if he got something NX related, but last year I didn't think he had a chance in hell of getting to reveal Zelda gameplay...
...so who knows.

Yes, being an asshole to developers is totally funny, right?
Trust in what? And since when are you talking for me?
I don't remember him being an asshole to anyone. People just took his sardonic/conceited schtick the wrong way. Dude's a big gamer actually.
Finally getting Zelda was incredible. Geoff has been pulling for that every time he gets an interview with Reggie and he finally got it then. Really hope Nintendo comes back in a big way through The Game Awards.
Reasonably hyped.

Faked enthusiasm? Keighley has been involved with and writing about this industry for more than 20 years. McHale was nothing but a paid actor, a talking prop.

Yeah good guess. Cause if not, i dont see this game coming out in Spring, like they did say it would.
I wonder what kind of gameplay premiers we can expect. Zelda last year was quite the surprise, not a new announcement though.

Sony is taking way too long to release the details on PSX. Getting impatient here.

Except when it's not immediately obvious to others his humor can be taken the wrong way.

The first thing I thought about. I liked how they did the founders of Sierra and wondered what the touching segment would be for this. It very sad that he's gone.

That would be such a great moment. Would feel like E3 2004 again.

You know what? This is the Zelda showing we're going to get. It makes too much sense, and would explain the eshop shenanigans.
Unfortunately, that makes Zelda Wii U highly unlikely to appear at the awards.

No, he was a disgrace. All he did was make fun of everyone basically.
Whatever happened to Bonus Round? I enjoyed that show

Looking forward to seeing if they finally announce Suicide Squad or whatever WBE is working on for next year. I know they said they want to do annual releases.

Last year show was cool Hope they give the Industry Icon Award to Iwata
Though Geoff was probably hoping for a hype trailer like TP 2004 rather than the quaint little interview/demo with offscreen footage that they got.
