Sad.

 

[SwiftDeath]

So does that mean Bioshock has more wins than TLOU at this point I think?

All dwarfed by your INDIE OVERLORDS though

Nevermind forgot TLOU won design and narrative

 

[HardRojo]

BS:I got sound and now visual art... I don't really agree :/ Tearaway and Ni no Kuni deserved it imo, I would mention TLoU too but it doesn't need to be mentioned really.

Not surprised to see the backlash against Anita when I saw her in the OP. Some of her initial videos weren't that great, but I thought her later installments were better executed and thought out.

perhaps but still feels like she deserves the award about as much as President Obama did the Nobel Peace Prize

 

[wildfire]

I don't have issue with discussing the topic. I have problem with trying to make a political/activist point with an award, specially when you put a figurehead in a pedestal.

Fair enough. I get that viewpoint. They are playing with fire doing that. It's not her fault she got the recognition though.

 

[RockTurtle]

I'll just say this. She got an award for an ambassador. They don't usually do this and obviously only make this award for special cases. They wanted her there and the speech was appropriate. Any attack on her made about her speech at the GDC makes you either stupid or sexist and I doubt you guys are idiots. Stop pretending.

so if someone disagrees with sarkeesian they are stupid or sexist?

EDIT:

on second thought, maybe there's a better avenue for discusssion than this. let's just agree to disagree!

 

[lazybones18]

they present the Lifetime Achievement Award yet?

 

[SwiftDeath]

Ryan Davis remembered

Sad but nice to see

 

[shwimpy]

yay, Cerny.

 

[dragonbane]

The cinic in me thinks is good publicity as she is a opinion leader in a hot topic (that, to be clear, is really big and needs to be explored).

Most definitely. As long as you don't support the extremist ones that have no shame at least, as seen here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=52064562#post52064562

That is also a fair point.

I was wrong. You aren't a sexist.

edit: Agree

 

[SwiftDeath]

oh wow dig Cerny's dress style

Always amazing

 

[Pryce]

cerny.

 

[Freeman]

Anita Sarkeesian won as well.

 

[aly]

That was sad

Mark Cerny looking sharp!

 

[HardRojo]

I know right? People should care about the way they dress themselves more often, it doesn't really hurt.

 

[Vilam]

Modern era of game development... aka, why we're on Gen 4. See? Cerny gets it.

 

[J-Rzez]

Could listen to Cerny talk about anything. Such a speaking presence.

Nice.

That is how the discussion should be, open and diplomatic.

 

[lazybones18]

Anita Sarkeesian won as well.

too bad I don't care about her

 

[SwiftDeath]

That jacket and shirt combo

The great thing about false dichotomies is that you can use them whenever you want. Either you accept Anita is a fatuous, inept, unremarkable z-list internet celeb unworthy of any acknowledgment by someone capable of producing anything of merit and whose presence at an award show is an effrontery or you're stupid. I doubt you're stupid. Stop pretending.

That jacket and shirt combo

Glasses, Jacket, Shirt man.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Cameraman ought to step off the trampoline.

[jett]

[LiquidMetal14]

This is a compelling speech.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

[aly]

[GalacticToast]

[TheBaronOfNA]
