Escapist News Network: Year in Review 2009

[dthvirus]

Hah, nice episode you guys. Good job.

 

[Excludos]

PLUUUUUG!

That had me in stitches.

Anyone got any info on LRR coming to this hallowed grove?

I'm sorry, what?

When is Loading Ready Run coming to The Escapist?

Why would they fucking want to? They already have their own site.

Nyahem.

Actually, upon re-reading that I noticed the answer to my question was in the article. They're coming in January.
I suppose the reason they want to is because on their site they have to pay for the upkeep and everything, whereas if they host on this site they don't pay a thing, in fact The Escapist pays them!

Yay for cheap bastards!

Nah, They are still going to keep their old site. The only difference is that the weekly videos and CH will be posted here, and they will make money from them. Honestly, its the biggest win-win in ever.

 

[Sodoff]

Funny ..
I love this series !
"hookers and blow"

Nice shot at the VGA at the end, it was a nice and funny suprise.

Even more so than the fact that the people who voted in the VGA's chose the most uninspired, bland, most low brow, and medicore game as their game of the year?

By that I'm guessing MW2 won? I missed it because I was too busy flipping between the VGA's, NFL Network, and Cops.

No. Uncharted 2. MW2 was also bland and uninspiring, but apparently they went with the one with the prettier graphics.

That is so bullshit. Dragon Age should've won, in my opinion.

 

[dalek sec]

Edit: Nevermind, it works now.

You guys got my hopes up with the hookers and blow thing, thought other people did that as well...

I'm 16 and I hardly ever think an FPS is The best of its year. It's like L4D2 getting nominated, that's ridiculous. Uncharted 2 is just the same game as last time but with pretty graphics. CoDMW2 is the same game as last time with more overpowered guns and a terrible campaign.

I never said I thought MW2 would be game of the year. Infact, I said it was just as bad as Uncharted 2, if your saying that I said MW2 deserved game of the year, which I did'nt say.

I also said your more high brow than the people who voted on the VGA's, meaning, that you had better taste than they do, and that you should'nt take the Spike TV VGA's seriously, because it's for douche bags.

I'm just saying that I think MW2 is pretty awful in comparison to the other GotY nominees. I don't take them seriously but when people use them against you to say that the game that I didn't buy is better than what I have, that takes the cake.

 

[Ohlookit'sMatty]

A year in review and not one mention of Batman: Arkham Asylum!?! For shame

When you guys come back are you goin to do a 'things to see in 2010' ep?!?

-M

Honestly, I don't take the VGA awards seriously, since it's mainly for people in their late teens to mid 30's.

well since the majority of gamers are in their late teens to mid 30's i think thats an perfectly understandable demographic.

OT: great episode, i really must pick up club penguin, i actually think it will be an great gift for my brother, thank you ENN.

 

[ShinobiMaikeru]

It's been a good year, let's hope next year will be better!

 

[squid5580]

Too soon Graham too soon. Don't you remember the 20 year rule?

Nice try pointing out the stupidity of these GOTY awards. Too bad it didn't take.

 

[Jared]

lol, I liked it...certainly made more sense than VGA's.

See you in 2 weeks ENN!

 

[Doug]

Such bullshit. Elite Pengiun Force 2: Pengiuns meet Puffins was SO MUCH BETTER than 1, it should have been game of the year. Easily!

PLUUUUUG!

Interesting - I didn't know about this. Well, it should work out well for the LRR team to actually have a source of income for their EXCELLENT work other than the shirts; whilst I'm alittle concerned the LRR 'theme' might be broken alittle by the move, I'm very hopeful it'll just make the excellent work of LRR more widely known and appreciated. Seriously, most of their videos only get a few thousand hits on YouTube but they're frequently as or more funny than Yahtzee.

hahaha the last line is incredible. Just love the

"I'm doing cocaine with prostitutes"

"Ronald prositutes?"

"Yeah.. blah blah blah

... Then we all have sex for money".
