Worse part is that they're probably serious.
breaking news: /v/ doesn't contribute in a productive way to the sexism in video games debate

Most Pretentious Indie Game? The heck.
I swear, this seems like a one person's doing.

All the other boards on 4chan serve as containment cesspools to make /v/ one of the best boards on the net. It's comprised of one person with a multiple personality disorder. Their love for Sony is eclipsed only by their diamond erection for anything Microsoft. Additionally, it's probably one of the more inclusive and accepting areas to discuss social issues in the context of the gaming industry.
And who can resist their funny memes xD overall a great place for us gamers and absolutely as many people as possible from here should lurk and post over there.
A place to complain about video games and get away from the social criticism bullshit that everywhere else is going on about lately.
Most of the jokes you've probably heard spouted on here that aren't funny any more were probably created on /v/ 7 years ago as well.
A place where anti-social twenty year olds complain about video games.
Nah, most people on /v/ hate obnoxious feminists (Anita, Tumblr kids) and does little things like this to spite them.

Wow... that's actually kind of embarassing.
/v/ as a whole or just the awards? Take your pick really.
Then why are you linking?
Let their little insular community vote amongst themselves. See how much like "reddit" they really are, after the previous years.
I don't think much of the stupid skits they throw in.
But, credit where credit is due, their awards and nominees are far more fun and colorful than other publications out there. Glad to see some underdogs pop up, and even some of the bigger ones getting knocked down a peg or two (Gone Home).
Senator Armstrong for character of the year.

Kotick Award for crimes against gaming
1st. Tropes vs Women in Video Games
do tell
People have given me an alt link where it should make it so they don't know it was referred from NeoGAF. I keep the warning in just in case.
I love how GAF and /v/ are mortal enemies. Both communities have their ups and downs. GAF can take itself a little too seriously while /v/ does go over board with the vitriol and trolling. But hey, both sites offer quality entertainment. I thing both can get along, right?

No he said /v/, not Neogaf
My mistake.

So they are serious about it...
That doesn't answer my question. Why are you linking if they're going to throw out votes?
Again: Let their little insular community see how much like "reddit/NeoGAF/whatever" they are. Results were nearly the same as Reddits last year when they threw votes out IIRC and they threw a hissyfit over it. Let them do their voting without outside votes and see how similar it is again. Maybe then they'd stop throwing votes out.

Oh, well then just change 'twenty year olds' to 'thirteen year olds' and the description is fixed.

Why it doesn't?
Because it's /v/, they pride themselves on being awful.
Chuckled, spit coffee across the office, got promoted.
I like /v/ for what it is. There are some golden nuggets of real discussion here and there (late Halo/TES threads for example) but for the most part you just need to filter most of the information there, a lot of good points can be taken once you know all the layers of sarcasm/ruses, if you are not accostumed to the ways of /v/ it just seems like a primordial place with no rhyme or reason but fun can be had if you are in the mood.
Heavily moderated places like Gaf give way to serious discussion (at least 10 pages in once the 1st post jokes dissipate) and are a great source of news, but on the other hand some people restrain themselves in fear of getting banned, which can be good or bad. Variety is the spice of life.
because the gap from worst to best writing in video games has to be very very narrow if the same game is nominated in both categories. like non-existing.
No? Try reading what I wrote again thoroughly. Nobody on /v/ legitimately thinks a game like Seran Kagura Burst represents Women well. They only nominated it to spite obnoxious feminists/SJWs, groups a lot of active /v/ posters dislike.

Most non-funny awards:
- /v/GAs
- /v/GAs
To get a laugh out of it, I guess.
It is user-nominated, so if half of the voters think it sucks, and half of them think it's good, you end up with this.
The category names and nominees alone are more entertaining than any award show this year.

I like /v/ because of how raw and genuine it is. They're a great community, though I like NeoGAF too.
Also, if it hasn't already been said, this place and /v/ are literally the exact same places userbase-wise presented under different circumstances. The only real difference is that /v/ doesn't use self-serious terms like "video game enthusiasts" to describe themselves.

/v/ is a roguelike game which pretend to be a imageboard, and it can be played in your browser. With permanent death, randomly generate encounters, malicious events, a lot of freedom in progress, combat system is controlled by keyboard. There's no end game and no reward. Gameplay quality depends on timing and luck, sometimes it's a /b/ 2.0, sometimes it happens to be a good dungeon raid with random loot.

Linking to 4chan threads is pretty pointless as chances are they'll be gone pretty fast, either screenshot whatever you find funny or don't bother
That said there's like 90% overlap between GAF and /v/ and probably 95% between Reddit and /v/ - pretending like they're made up of different people is a convenient fiction.

Because not everyone liked it and its shooting mechanics were not all that impressive. Also because a lot of people act like it was a well-written masterpiece, when the writing was actually not really better than the previous bioshocks.
I said productive, not hilarious
:^)
Puhlease, I'm an interactive entertainment aficionado.

I'm surprised about the lack of GTA V in any "worst" category. But those Grammy awards are something else.

Half baked combat. Psuedo-intellectual story that makes no sense. Waifu magnet.
These things seem to bother /v/.

That's why I was saying they are serious, as 'stick it to feminist/socialwarriors' is a pretty pity reason for have that nominees.
And, in a lesser extent, let's be honest, "Nobody in /v/ legitimately thinks that..." Is a bolder statement
