That video only showcased Angry Joe's shortcomings as an interviewer, and the rant where he keeps harping on the same points over and over again just show his unprofessionalism.  
 
Who gives a shit about the VGA's anyway, if you don't like it , don't watch it. This guy is freaking out, he's more pissed about this irrelevant game show than important issues like the fact that Republicans just blocked a bill to help 911 responders just so they could keep their precious tax cuts for the stinking rich.  
 
In short, dude needs some fucking perspective. 

 Which would you rather see the VGAs run by geoff keiley or the giant bomb staff? I think thats an easy enough answer there.

This Angry Joe guy has to have some kind of mental disability. That Final Fantasy tirade is ridiculous. He claims there are "so many" MMOs that could be nominated, first he names some game I've never even heard of and then struggles to even bring up Final Fantasy. Geoff asks him if it actually came out this year, he says "Oh, no, wait. That didn't come out this year" and then starts screaming how Geoff was trying to trick him or something. Also, for the record, Final Fantasy XIV is pretty much universally since as a massive failure. 90% of the people on these forums could conduct a better interview than this idiot. How this guy managed to get even 2 minutes with Geoff Keighley (or anyone for that matter) is beyond me.  

" @Geno:  So he's not obligated to conduct himself with class and decency in a professional capacity? You have a strange outlook on life. Putting aside the fact that Joe is not a professional himself, it makes no difference to how Geoff should have behaved. He could've conducted a proper interview and shown up Joe without the ridiculous condescension that some 2nd-rate journalist is not entitled to, just saying. "

Geoff did seem like a dick there.  The questions weren't hard to answer, but Geoff just looked like he wanted to piss the guy off instead of give real answers.  

It just made me dislike both of them even more.

This... uh... ugh... 

" @Milkman: Yeah that was definitely a highlight. He blasts Geoff Keighley for "not knowing" a Final Fantasy MMO came out this year when in fact Geoff was fully aware, he was just also fully aware (unlike Joe) that it was terrible and wasn't remotely deserving of a nomination in any category. But apparently glancing at VGReleases for 5 seconds is considered the epitome of research for Angry Joe.   This guy trying to represent hardcore gamers would be like Michael Moore trying to represent anorexic people.  "

I dont know this Joe guy, but I have seen Geoff on Gametrailers, I always saw him as two faced anyway

Oh God no Keighley is human?!?!
 
But seriously, Angry Joe was asking for what happened. The fact homeboy over here tried to make a point that mother fucking DUNGEON FIGHTER ONLINE AND FINAL FANTASY 14 should have been nominated proves he doesn't even know what the hell he's talking about. I won't even start on DF, but FF14 is a train wreck to end all train wrecks. They restructured the ENTIRE team and the game has been out about 2-3 months. They're letting people play for free because they scared about losing subs. Besides WoW and LotRO probably, there's not even enough MMOs to fill the category.
 
Angry Joe needs to get another job. People want to talk about what's wrong with the game journalism industry and well...there's the problem.

" @Sargus: I see your point, but if given the resources, not even showing any of the giant bomb people I believe they would have a better discipline at representing gaming and showing what should be shown without further degrading the stereotype of gamers as the VGAs do. I know what your saying and thats why I love the whiskey media hour more than I would ever like "the bonus round" or the VGAs. I merely saying there are much more qualified people than geoff keiley to run the VGAs and spike needs to find them. Geoff keiley can work as an internet personality with show like the bonus round, but there are other people that would give the VGAs better justice. "

Wow, I kept watching and those questions he asked during that press meeting with Geoff were ridiculous. And I don't know why he keeps saying that no one knows how the awards are decided. The awards have been decided the same way for years. I can't believe people actually watch this garbage.

What do you think Giantbomb's Game of The Year delegations are? It's pretty much their version of the VGA. "

" @blackbird415:   If Joe isn't even worth my time (speaking as a kid about to watch The Daily Show to take my finals tomorrow) how is he worth Geoff's time?  "  

" @blackbird415: On top of that Joe was a complete idiot in the video. "  

" @blackbird415:   you'll notice at the end that Geoff was so free that he even let a press conference happen. He wasn't even supposed to show up since Joe made him go up there, he even admits it. "  

I remember a poised Keighley defending Mass Effect against a gaggle of ignorant panelists on Fox. Even if he was the jerk-off that Angry Joe thinks he is, the man deserves a break for not being able to always put his best foot forward on what had to be a very stressful evening (for both of them).

Bad on both ends. Joe was not prepared, and, well, that led to Geoff not taking the interview seriously.

Geoff has always been a douche bag and a complete dick, not a fan of angry joe but i have to take his side, i have met geoff twice and both times he was incredibly rude and excuse my language a fucking asshole.

If some random internet asshole I'd never heard of started openly insulting the thing I'd just spent the last several months preparing for live television, I'd probably behave in a similar way.

" @Sargus: The question was what Giantbomb would with the VGAs, you said so yourself they aren't Television hosts. This is what they want to do and I doubt they would ever do a television show anyway. I just thought it was kind of weird, or at least the way I read it, how there was this vibe of "what would giantbomb do?" and we have it...  Keep in mind they have a lot more stuff than last year's video quick looks and top 10 lists with podcasts this time. "

" Not really a fan of either of the dudes, but if someone acted like this to me in an interview, I would probably be a dick back.  Geoff really didn't over-react in my opinion.  Joe was being an ass and had a holier-than-thou attitude the whole time. "

looks like joe is bashing geoff to cover for his own lack of preparation

No, the question was, "Would we rather have Geoff Keighley in charge of the VGAs or the Giant Bomb guys?" What I'm saying is that they're completely different things, and I would NOT want to see the Giant Bomb guys do the VGAs (Jeff has voted for the games, before, I believe. That's as close as we should get). And I'm not saying it should be an either/or situation. I LOVE Giant Bomb's Game of the Year stuff. I PREFER it over the VGAs any day of the week (I don't even like the VGAs. Didn't watch them this year). I'm just saying that the folks behind Giant Bomb wouldn't be fit to to the Spike TV Video Game Awards, because it's a completely different beast than what they do on a daily basis here on GiantBomb.com. There's no value judgment there. I'm not saying the VGAs are better or anything like that. I'm just saying that Geoff Keighley has skills and tlents in areas that the Giant Bomb guys don't, and that's not in any way a bad thing. It's just a thing. Geoff wouldn't be fit to run Giant Bomb, either. "

I think this article perfectly sums up how I feel about this whole situation.

I think Keighley handled himelf as best he could.  It seems he knew who Joe was, asking if he was gonna rip the VGA's.  Since the guy did a segment last year called "Why Spike's Video Game Awards Suck Balls," you'd obviously expect an interview full of loaded questions and provocation.  Not exactly expecting high journalistic integrity, and the bone to pick comment pretty much set the tone. 
 
Keighley answered his questions and gave him the light of day, but the guy responded like a douche, took away the mic mid answer, and showed no professionalism.  Yeah, there's stuff that needs to be improved at the VGA's.  But don't act like an ass if you want any sort of respect.

" @Doctorchimp:  Yeah Sargus got what I meant. They do a show every friday though. Its not on tv, but damned if its the closest thing independent journalists have to it. I just think that there are more responsible ways to handle things than what spike tv and Geoff have shown. If we can get journalists to really rally together to make a true oscars of gaming then I believe it would be a right step in the direction, but to me the VGAs in the general publics eye pushes the gaming culture 2 steps back. Do I really care about Angry Joe? no. Do I like what his intent was? yes. Its asking why the VGAs aren't more serious and begs the question cant there be a more serious award show that appeals to the same audience that spike is going after?  Angry Joe isnt an established journalist. Hes not the most experienced or even that great of a journalist, but what I did like is what he trying to get at. Hes not the most articulate or the most mentally connected (I know I wouldn't given those situations) "

" @Milkman: Be more afraid of the people who defend that garbage...  Then people wonder how Fox News shows get off the ground or how FF XIV gets released....there are crazy people for everything. "

that angry joe guy got destroyed... and he sounds like a total dick, sorry but I'm with Geoff on this..

Really? Geoff was being a complete asshole the entire interview, you could clearly see joe trying to conduct an actual semi professional interview with real questions, not that soft bullshit IGN and gamespot ask, i think it's astonishing at the backing that geoff gets and the hate joe gets.. especially from a crowed who did nothing but shit on the vgas and put down GT on a daily basis.

Watched the clip, watched some of his videos on his site, dude's not worth the air I breathe, moving on.
