Additionally, Christopher Judge made a pretty cutting remark about how his acceptance speech at last year's TGA was longer than the newest CoD campaign. The CoD devs actually got pretty upset about it and hit back at him on Twitter with some pretty lame replies about how their games sell more than his do. The whole thing was pretty childish on both sides. He shouldn't have said it, and they shouldn't have attacked back with equally childish replies.
Anyway, the whole awards show was basically the same as it always is. A bunch of cringe, with a ton of corporate pandering because that's how they make their money. The show is not really even about honoring the nominees and award winners. The show is about driving the marketing machine forward.
Edit: to be clear, imo, its a Game awards show, they should probably spend the Majority of the time to the announcement of the award and the speech by the winners, especially at the last goty part when times not really limited
No.
Thought it was maybe a Rick Roll.
Even then this year seemed to have kind of mid trailers? Only real wow moment was Monster Hunter and that shits 2 years away.

That's not a stage hand, but its the TGA guy: Geoff Keighley. He's famous among people who follow video gaming news.

Thank you, but I stand by my comment.
Really? He says there is an event called The Game Awards, and then proceeds to describe what those events were like for those who didn't watch them.
I assumed the venn diagram between people who read Penny Arcade and people who are at least aware of TGA is a circle but apparently not.

The newspost isn't supposed to be actual news. It's comedy and editorializing, not journalism.
The savage exposè on Rome's insect infestation was Pulitzer worthy.
Yeah, I got the basic gist, but the details are hard to parse without context. For example:
Are we talking about literal puppets, or figurative ones? And is the smug goon the same person as the goblin (presumably at least one of them is Keighley)?
Still, I did reread it and it makes more sense this morning. Maybe I've conditioned myself to skim his posts because I don't get so many of the references.

Literal puppets.
Keighley spent several minutes doing shtick with Gonzo of the Muppets, which is kind of galling given how little time his show gave the acceptance speeches.
While I often agree that Jerry doesn't always mange to communicate with me in the newspost. In this case, I a person who has never watched a single second of a The Game Awards show knew exactly what he was talking about.
I assumed he was talking metaphorical puppets, though.
Not the most opaque post he has made, overall.
