We don't need your respect, we don't need your validation, and we certainly don't need your pointless fucking awards.<br /><br />We'll just sit here, like the geeks that we are, having a fucking good time playing videogames and you can get back to cobbling together tedious back-slapping awards ceremonies that revolve around industries that are too stupid (or too stuffed with egomaniacal twats) to realise how pointless 'awards ceremonies' truly are (read:film and TV).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11948138.post-2594980147947191582006-10-23T13:12:00.000+01:002006-10-23T13:12:00.000+01:00Totally agree with all that Rammy.

I fucking hate awards ceremonies WHATEVER they are for - and I really FUCKING HATE Vernon FUCKING KAYE - the utter utter utter cunt that he is - so a BAFTA for games is just about the only reason I would type in capitals so much. That's how angry they make me.<br />On the other hand, GRAW is ace - but I presume they had to be talking about the 360 version, as the PS2 and xbox versions were just shoddy shoddy ports. As much as I loved GRAW 360, it was hardly Game of the Year though was it - I'd have thought Oblivion would be up for that mantle (and I never even played it).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
