An awards show on Spike TV: nothing but a huge advertisement for Grand Theft Auto or any other "thuggin" game. Spike TV sucks, though, Most Extreme Eliminations is right up there with Whose Line is it Anyway for absolute funny. _________________

No, it means that Spike definately doesn't know what to give to their audience, and that it'll go bankrupt in 10 years tops.
I personally didn't watch it... but I've been on three gaming forums, and all of them have a thread devoted to how horrible this awards show was. Does that mean it really sucked. Damn straight. This was an insult to the video gamers everywhere. Anyone who agreed with more than three of these categories does not deserved to be called a gamer.
And this is all coming from what I've heard. Just think about what I'd be saying if I'd actually wasted 2 hours of my life and watched this. |

I doubt they'd understand anything other than football and wrestling...let alone video game genres at all...(wrestling != fighting) |
Spike TV used to been The National Network, which used to been The Nashville Network.
And thank god I didn't waste my time on this. I have minimum service on cable that doesn't have Spike TV. _________________

Man the VGA was stupid, because Madden 2004 won best game of the year. I think the people who picked the winners were on crack when they picked the games. I'm never going to watch the VGA ever again. If we got to pick the winning games, it would be a hell of a lot better then what is right now.
I think we should start are own VGA awards. |

I realized DDR music isn't my thing. I won't say it's crap because people like it. Most of it isn't very good music in my opinion. I used to like the music a lot because i directly related the game I loved to the music that accompanied it. I listen to a radio show almost every night, and I like all of the songs they use to introduce the show back after every commercial break. They use a lot of rap, sometimes just the instrumental part of the rap song. BUT I HATE RAP. I'm directly associating the songs that they use to the songs that I hear that signals the return of my radio show.

Being a metalhead myself , I will give you my observationist theory into explaining this phenomena:
1) The rap world, IMHO, has made a grand and colossal cultural blitz this year, thus spreading their culture farther beyond the confines of the city and the surrounding suburbs. This would explain why almost half of the number one hits this year are comprised of rap songs.
2) Rap music is currently the most profitable music right now. At a time where our economy is in shambles, advertisers are trying to find new ways to rake in dollars. They found their answer in the rap culture. By offering them hip-hop samples in radio shows or whatever is mainstreamed in this nation, this would draw more listeners, thus generate green for sponsors and advertisers. A good example of this trend would have to be Mc'Donalds "I'm Loving It" ad campaign. What startled me about it was when they introduced their Monopoly game, in the commercials, they show a person with various maxed out luxuries while hip-hop beats were playing in the background. This further proves my point in that marketers are only using the rap culture to generate secure money.
To sum it all up, rap music and it's culture sells, which puts a strain on it's secondary mainstream culture, rock and heavy metal . _________________

Let's sum it up this way:
If an awards show immediately announces its top overall winner at the beginning of the show, before it even starts, then you know something is very, very wrong. |

I noticed something about the winners. Most of the games that won were American games and only three of the winners were Japanese games. To me, that sounds a tad suspicious . _________________

| My excuse was that the winning games had titles the award's creators could understand, but when Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (all one syllable words) didn't win Action Game of the Year, that excuse sorta fell flat on it's face. When Enter the Matrix won and the developers stood up, I was literally yelling at my TV 'SIT BACK DOWN! YOUR GAME SUCKED ASS AND YOU KNOW IT!' |
