    One Mr. Patrick "Scoops" Klepek wrote an interesting article on the Judges Panel of the Game Awards. I think it is certainly something to keep in mind whilst watching tonight's programme.

    Well yeah it's just about the least interesting possible route they could go

    Isn't Michonne exclusive to the TV series

    Because they's what they were missing in Season 2, being closer to the TV series

    I think it's really dumb a title can qualify for best Indie game, but apparently not GotY.*

    You might as well just say Game of the Year, Sponsored by Major Development Studios.

    Though I guess that's not as pithy.

    (*Yes, it's exactly the game you think it is.)

    I don't feel like they nominated unfairly here, though it implies it will not win best RPG since 3 other games are in the GotY category which is kinda irritating.

    I feel like they should just say any game nominated for one of their other category awards is up for GOTY because odds are very slim that a game will win GOTY but lose the lower tier.

    It's a giant ad, I don't see why they wouldn't let you watch it for free.

    I have a podcast about Digimon called the Digital Moncast, on Audio Entropy.

    It use to be, but it's not anymore. It's just a streamed thing. I dunno if they even have an audience anymore.

    No I don't.

    I'm pretty sure that Spike TV never existed.

    I'm pretty sure that is the truth of the matter.

    Wasn't spike originally TNT?

    Because TNT was a decent channel for a bit, lots of Trek Reruns at one point.
