    apparently games are only allowed to win one award? what.

    If that is true, maybe its because they want to avoid a "Lord of the Rings" scenario where one game sweeps everything?
    I don't see anything wrong with that. If a game is awesome in almost all categories, it should fucking win them.

    Wow.. that looks.. nothing like where I am in Mass Effect 1. I mean, from a gameplay perspective...

    And they could donate more money than that to CP, right

    Way too short of a preview, and at first (if you guys hadn't mentioned it) I would've thought it was a Battlefield-esque FPS.

    I really like the main C&C games, or at least I used to, because I loved the concepts behind the Tiberium wars. This being Generals 2 implies they aren't going that route.

    I'm kinda excited for it. The first Generals was pretty fun, just got a lot on bad flack for being a C&C game that didn't invole Kain or Crazy Commies.

    Gametrailers on the Last of Us trailer: "Naughty Dog shocks the World as they announce a brand new title coming exclusively to PlayStation 3! "

    Oh yeah I'm super shocked that Naughty Dog is making a PS3 exclusive.

    Also, who didn't foresee it being a zombie game? I mean come on. A video game teaser about some kind of end of the world epidemic, of course it's going to be fucking zombies.

    Um. No. I think the idea of the shocking part is that we had no clue it was Naughty Dog. Or at least I didn't. I didn't care too much about the game and then I saw Naughty Dog pop up and I jumped up and was instantly excited.

    Let the people pick the cover of Madden '13! You know, so that we can help our fantasy teams by crippling someone!

    Edit: ... Huh. That was probably one of the classier things I've seen Activision do. The endowment and vet support thing.

    The only clue that Naughty Dog had anything to do with it was the fact that somebody found a newspaper in the start of Uncharted 3 that had a similar headline to one of the art pieces on the Last of Us website. And that didn't automatically mean much, obviously.

    American TV really isn't worth watching IMO because of the amount of commercials. Thankfully releasing shows on DVD is a thing.

    Also, this whole 'augmented reality' thing they're doing looks weird...and stiff.
