You could hear the orchestra wrenching the hand brake and slipping the gears from Baldur’s Gate 3 to Super Mario Bros Wonder. A hard medley

Swapped out to two-handed heavy flute

The straight razor in the Blade trailer was alright, but the lack of the Schick Hydrobot was a palpable void that Keighley has yet to fill.

“my speech was longer than this year’s call of duty campaign”

I mean as stupid and the pointless as the Oscars are they aren’t just a series of commercials for next year’s movies. This shit is colossally, internationally embarrassing.

dammit geoff keighley you’ve done it again! what a great award show! who won the awards? who fucking cares! put that bull shit in a picture-in-picture list! throw a couple of those assholes on stage and shuffle them off while they’re doing stupid things like “trying to pay tribute to a dead coworker” or “being the guy in charge of making zelda” with a big WRAP IT UP teleprompter and generic orchestra music. I NEED CONTENT. I NEED COMMERCIALS. By God, i got some fucking commercials! commercials for the exact same fucking game over and over again; open-world sci-fi cyberpunk shooter where everyone looks like a fortnite character. games with creative titles like “the last sentinel” and “the first descendant” and “the fourth asshole” and “what the fuck why did a bunch of us watch this terrible thing when we could have better spent our time staring at the fucking wall.”

hideo kojima blessed us with his presence. normally geoff keighley goes out of his way to make kojima look like a stupid motherfucker who didn’t create one of my favorite series’ of all time, but this time, kojima did something cool and showed us all his fat glowing cock:

thankful that we got more WORLD PREMIERES that didn’t show what the games actually looked like, except for one game that made sure you knew that you would be able to, holy shit, climb a fucking ladder. everything else was a prerendered trailer.

unironic shoutout to the guy whose name i forgot who wore the coolest outfit at the whole event and listed his three favorite games of “kingdom hearts,” “garry’s mod”, and “golden sun.” you know that guy is for real, and not some celebrity that comes on stage and bullshits you on their knowledge of the medium.

back to the irony: i loved that for one night, we can all come together and take a big non-sexual piss all over a medium that has struggled for recognition! thank you game awards! commercialization and maintaining an air of apoliticism (that’s a word now) is where it’s at! catch the fever.

also they didn’t bring back satan’s anus, so maybe actually the game awards can die in hell.

i would much rather watch commercials than an award show, but I’m just not going to watch either?

Keighley can’t outrun this thing’s rotten roots.

People gotta stop lending this farce any sense of authority or legitimacy.

To paraphrase some old guys:

Gaming culture is the disease of our time; adverts pretending to be art, made
by arseholes pretending to be artists. Of course, the lovers of kitch
in the next century will adore them, social historians dissect them.
Shoot the lot we say.
