Alright, I know it was probably being done for comedic effect, but come on - somebody's got to go in there an equalize that volume a bit. Trying to make out Yahtzee's speed of speaking without a volume high enough to completely trout-smack you when you reach the guitar-wailing bump sequences is neigh impossible.

It's actually so mentally disruptive that I'm having a hard time recalling what I just saw... or maybe it's because recapping everything we know is wrong with gaming these days is not unlike a forgettable clip show.

D'awww, I liked how your voice went all soft at the end. Happy New Year to you, too, Yahtzee. ^^

Whoever it was that edited it really didn't have to put in that metal intro song for each award name. I had to keep turning my volume up and down when that shit started playing again. If you're going to use it, at least keep it on level with the voice volume as well. It was painful to go from straining to hear to getting a full blast of music in my ear.

Only five years to go before it gets proven wrong, huh?

I guess it's time to start up Operation: prove "Back to the Future 2" right.

Let's do this people, we need all the help we can get!

I love the awards videos.

For the record, I sent an angry letter to Atkinson. It will be thrown out and ignored, but I feel as though I performed my moral obligation.

Don't understand the problem with Michael Atkinson. Is preventing some games involving extreme violence being available to kids wrong? Also these games tend to be crappy anyway.
The problem with the stance of "Oh, I don't want them there to corrupt children" is that it can easily be countered with "Oh, but the age rating system is there to stop a 13 year old owning GTA" The problem is the games being avaliable, it's the parents buying them for their children that are the problem.

tis odd how the guy who reviews videogames for the site lives in Australia which is soooo censored up the butt! do you get you games from other countries? or do you just settle with the ones around?

The delivery of the end line felt a little like 'The day today' and because yahtzee is english and has a sense of humor i'm guessing he's seen it. So very nice!

I'm surprised, he didn't bring up assassin's creed 2 in the awards at all, why?

Duke Nukem Forever being the game of the year is absolutely the right choice. DNF provided me with more gaming entertainment only hoping for its release than all other titles this year put together.

PC players still grind WoW because that is more enticing than anything on Steam, 360 players buy their games only for the gamerscore anyway and PS3 fanboys...., ...well let's just say that with Sony's 2009 lineup you only really needed to rent Uncharted 2 and forget the rest. As a result many Sony geeks had a larger attach rate when it came to women than PS3 games in 2009.

Maybe if we all concentrate our hatred of michael atkinson we will hit a natural resonance frequency and cause him to disintegrate.
