The Game Awards (00:38: 05)



  • What is The Game Awards?

  • Hideo Kojima and the Death Stranding trailer

  • Some issues with how the awards were presented

  • Indie games getting shafted

  • Mass Effect gameplay trailer

  • Blizzard and Overwatch win big (and what does Best Game Direction mean?)

  • Voice acting - Firewatch gets snubbed, Nolan North throws Performance Matters under the bus

  • With the male dominated list of Trending gamers, 2 things. What do you think should be qualifications for trending gamer and who are some women that you'd nominate based on those ideas? @BrothaDom

  • With @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN receiving the Industry Icon Award, who would you guys nominate as the first female to receive it? @bloomtoon

  • What can Geoff Kieghly do to make an event like the Game Awards be taken seriously in the mainstream and not just a marketing event with only a few awards? To me if feels too much like an extension of E3. @mustyhobbit

  • What new award would you include? Joke answer and serious answer both would rule. @devoted_pupa


PSX (01:32: 30)



  • What is PSX?

  • Remakes of PS1 games - Crash Bandicoot, Parappa, Wipeout, Patapon

  • Destiny - the return of Sparrow racing

  • The Last of Us 2

  • Sony’s holiday commercial for PS4 showed lots of content for games coming out in 17. Did PSX do enough to satisfy anxiety someone might have about jumping onboard for a system when the stuff you want to play hasn’t even been released? @alatinolawyer
