For some reason I always thought the voice on Extra Credits was his real voice! Guess not. Congrats to all the winners!

Gah! I started typing something similar then realized ninja. I wasn't ever sure, but I guess I just didn't know who or how to ask.

Awesome, guys. Really awesome. There's no other word for it... except... "Ding!" heh.

Fan rant: Too bad I couldn't nominate Guild Wars 2 and The Old Republic. They're shaping up to have some really cool innovations in the MMO genre, but they are too big (in file size), too AAA, and too "not finished yet". *sigh*, maybe next year...

Same here.
I'm disappointed Daniel, your awesome voice is a lie! :p

Although, James looks exactly like I thought he would from his cartoon version xD

Wow, I feel sorry for you guys. Looks like no one showed up. Need more publicity for next year.
Yeah, looks like it was a quiet event. Is there any intention to put more footage from Login 2011 on The Escapist?

Great awards for great games regardless.
You got to start somewhere. I am sure they will get more buzz next year.

Looked like a nice event.
And yes, when i heard Daniel's voice, i did think "hey, you're not that guy!". Silly old me.
But made me think, why use a different voice? It does sound good, no complaints whatsoever, but just interested...

It seems that the voice is sped up a little, so my guess is that it is probably to allow it to fit in a time limit of roughly five minutes.

Daniel, your voice is a lie!!!

But that's okay, looks like a really fun and informative awards conference. I really wish I could have been there. Maybe next year :D

It's on now. I hope the awards helped the developers nominated get some well-deserved recognition. This needs to be done again next year.

Also, I'm convinced the real Daniel was away and that was a substitute we saw :)

Daniel talked about this on the Digital Cowboys podcast. His first 2 videos (on youtube) were school projects and they had to be as close to 10:00 as possible. By the time he finished his first one, it was over time, and he was tired, so he just sped it up, and then people got used to that.
