Why do people care which games won a lovely award again?

Because some people think award shows are actually to do with picking out the best game that year and not a massive, self indulgent, industry back-patting. Don't get me wrong, you can still make an event like that fun and entertaining, but you have to go in knowing what it is and setting your expectations squarely that a Japanese game will NEVER win GotY at an American awards show.

So what you're saying is, it's actually about racism in games journalism.

Not really, but also exactly. Though an award show isn't journalism of any kind, and I'm only talking about these big productions, not like, an individual publication's awards.

I can't remember if they've ever abandoned a playthrough before, but I bet Pat's really wanting to with this one, holy poo poo.

reminder that they never finished Way of the Samurai 4, the greatest game most deserving of a full LP

The fact that Shadow of Mordor won out over Bayonetta 2 as an action game, is proof positive that you don't need to pay attention to anything Geoff Keighley does.

Paying attention to the vast majority of game awards in general seems like a waste of time anyhow.

Liam in any argument is the absolute worst poo poo on the entire website.

I don't think it's that bad but he does have this really weird lack of compass on things he says in relation to other things he's said. That being said, and it's awful to say, but I think we should get a fund together to send him to Japan again come E3 because I don't wanna hear about how it's fiiiiiiine to have Sony PR men ramble on for 40 minute stretches.

Hey Matt, aren't you guys bound by NDAs about that sort of thing, or are you too low on the totem pole for anyone to care?

On the same subject, I've started watching the credits of any newer games that came out of Montreal, and it's neat to see you guys pop up. Found all three of you testing the multiplayer in the Tomb Raider prebootquelgining, and I've also heard Woolie and Liam tested the latest Thief and Hitman games. (Incidentally, because of that, it's now part of my personal lore that Woolie and Liam are out to destroy the stealth genre.)
