Yea I never really thought they had a chance. It just doesn't feel right to have an award show for games on tv. They hammer on the stereotype way to much.
"Like i said in my blog, Not amazing, but better then last years."
You should probably keep self-advertising.
Anyway, how I felt. I thought the best part was the intro, with the threesome essentially. Other than that, I don't think people understand how to make a good game awards show. Cut the bullshit with the celebrities and tired jokes. I want Gabe Newell to head the show, and have real interactions with real people in the industry that we care about. Busta Rhymes? What the fuck! KIM KARDASHIAN!? WHAT THE FUCK.
"I'm of the mindset that gamers are an overly cynical bunch, who wouldn't have liked this no matter what they did."
You have a stupid mindset then. If this were actually good,(but no this is Spike and the VGA's, wanting good is too much to ask for) people would treat it so. I'm under the mindset that Spike are absolutely fucking retarded, and no matter how much bad feedback they get every single year about how they do the VGA's, it will never change, and continue to blow. I'd rather be playing Wii music.
Absolutely stupid. I felt like I was watching a giant commercial. At least they got the GOTY right imho. Also, does anyone else think Brutal Legend is going to be cool?
I was really glad to see Brutal Legend get a ton of publicity, including Jack Black screaming while holding a flamethrower. That game deserves to sell a great deal and maybe this will help. As for the rest of the show, pretty terrible. Except for Weezer, those guys are awesome.

Seriously.
It was clear none of the celebrities knew what the fuck they needed to say. "In-engine" flowed about as well out of Busta Rhymes as "Word Up" would have out of Dick Cheney. It was pitiful.
Plus, the writing was just bad. Just plain bad. I was cringing the whole time.
