Game Awards shenanigans

Gamespot will be streaming the game awards tonight here : http://www.gamespot.com/articles/watch-the-game-awards-las-vegas-live-show-here/1100-6423962/

So, how many of yall actually going to watch it? I probably will out of sheer curiosity. And there is always the off chance that Fallout 4 will get announced....

The big question though... Will we see a last minute upset in the trending gamer category?

You should post it as a link :)

I will watch it if I can but who knows. I work nights so I sleep during the day and by the time I wake up I forget about a lot of things like watching Game Award shows. I would like to see it but it isn't a priority.

I'll watch it but I won't be happy about it.

@hammondoftexas: Now is there even a rumor of that or is the internet just getting its hopes up...again?

@nightriff: The second one.

@Nightriff unfortunately cant do links on the tablet. Its just a text box and a button :(

@splodge: That stinks

It would mean staying awake until 02:00 in the morning just for it to start. I am kind of interested to see what it is, to see how streaming works on Steam, to see how insane the nominations are.

Were any fans actually asking for an awards show?

The idea that Fallout 4 may get a trailer will probably have me watching the whole thing and then regretting it.

Itll be at 5am here so ill try to. Hopefully GB chat will be up.

Yeah, sadly, Betheseda already announced they wont be showing anything. Microsoft announced that too,I think.

As much as some huge announcements be great, I think Jeff is right. Those big announcements happened because it was on tv. I mean, look at last year. It was associated with Spike TV, but was just streamed, so the biggest announcements were (No Man's Sky (while super cool, not the same thing as announcing Skyrim), a few Tell Tale games, and that.... Cranky King was a playable dude.

Deep down in my heart I want to believe Bethesda was just lying and will still announce Fallout 4, but I know I'm a fool. I'll just check the news tomorrow morning and see what, if anything, happened.

@beyondstrange: If they come out and say they aren't announcing anything then it'll make it an even bigger surprise when they actually do show up with Fallout 4.

Has Giant Bomb said if they're going to one of their talking over it things? Because that is the only reason I would be interested.

Well it would have to be on after UPF, so I don't know if they are gonna hang around the office on a friday evening to watch it.

Meh, I might watch it just to see what gets revealed. I couldn't give a fuck about the actual awards.

Does anybody know when it starts like, hours wise from this post? All Gamespot says is 6 PST, and I do not know that at all, 10 hours, 11 hours maybe?

I'm kindof excited about it. I'm more interested in the organisation of it than the actual content. Will there be hiphop?!

Unfortunately it takes place around 3 am in Europe.

10 hours and 50 minutes from when you posted that.

12 hours and 42 mins!

6 PST is 9 EST, not 11.

I'm going to be making fake twitter/facebook accounts all day and stuffing the ballot box. You can't beat 100% (unless it's a GB poll)

@corevi: @splodge: Awesome, thanks duders, sounds like I'll be able to catch it no matter which one of you is right haha.

Same here. But they have re-branded this thing and seem like they want to do right. Maybe it wont be a complete cringe fest this year?.

Heh sorry I mean GMT dunno why I even got involved.

Nah. I will, however, await the super-cut of the best/worst of it.

Here is the link to where the Steam feed will be/a mini sale for it. Steam.

Don't think I'll watch this. Gotta watch the PAC-12 championship game that starts at the same time.

@hassun: Heh jeff got the rollercoaster nod I see.

@hassun: That's awesome ! Keighley is a cool dude.

For future reference, you can now just type (time) (time zone) to (other time zone) into google and it'll provide the conversion for you. Example: I'd type 6 PST to NST in and get 10:30 Newfoundland Standard Time.

@hassun: Holy shit that font.

@mosespippy: Oh wow I just did that, it completely works, thanks for that. Man, Google is just packed full of neat little things it can do.

@flstyle Challenge accepted!

I'm going to watch it, and I can only hope it is as much of a trainwreck as it feels like it may be.

Watching it with my wife tonight and making a drinking game out of it. I figure it's the only sane way to watch it.

@theht: The 90's "fake silver" font treatment is quite.... fetching, isn't it?

If it's anything like last years show I'm pretty sure the awards given out probably won't be much of a surprise, every trailer announced I can eventually watch on one of the major video gaming sites or youtube, and every awkward conversation / outtake will be cut into a 15-20 minute super cut video.

Short answer: nah, there's still some shit in the Hinterlands that need to be taken care of.

If i undestand it correctly, it will start in less that 4 hours? 3 am CET? i might stay up if thats the case, or i might not because i will only get angry about the winners.

!!! come back safe.

@wolfgame: If Gerstmann doesn't win we riot.

Hey guys, the website says I can stream this through PSN but how? I'm downloaded the Live Events Viewer app on my PS4. Is that it?

@frostyryan: Yes, I believe that's it. It's more likely to be that than Playstation Home.

Man just announce Fallout 4 already. Its by far the my most anticipated game at this point. Even more so than HL3 (which will most likely never happen).

One ugly logo.
