Your little beginning red

Your little beginning red carpet bit made me giggle like a mad woman.  So simple, and yet so hilariously effective. Zoey/Lara Croft!!1!1!one (And actually the idea of Louis and Francis made me lol even more.)

I'm glad L4D swept the categories (obviously as it's singlehandedly responsible for introducing me to XBL and all us awesome afterellen gamers joining forces and spending too much time gaming together).

I've got to play Dead Space now as well since it won a whole bunch of stuff too.  I've had it since Christmas but I still haven't played it yet (again mostly because of L4D!)

What?

No FIRST! just to annoy me?  You are slipping, Han. Oh, and I see that once again some people *coughyoucough* clearly do nothing but surf afterellen on tuesdays to be the first person to comment! (this is payback for last week's post, by the way....)

Hahahaha! Loved the red carpet gossip!

Hurray for themed episodes!  Loved the red carpet bit. Too funny.  Thanks so much for the thoroughly entertaining awards show.  Looking forward to next week's tattoo "reveal".  That should be fun, eh?

Great Oscars! Way better

Great Oscars! Way better than the real one, altough a musical number would have been great! lol

I have to say I am not all that surprised at the winners this year.  I figured Left 4 Dead would sweep!  I agree that Fable 2 was the best game.  Matter of fact I was trying to get back into it when my 360 decided to die.  Glad I got the store warranty though, I can go pick up a new system immediately!

I really need to get myself that Xbox 360...

Loved the opening titles... And the red carpet...

Ditto

At least I happened to get my fingers (interlinked, ahem) on TR: Underworld for PC. Damn those spoilers :) Had to turn off the sound while the two of you were talking about Lady Badass.

It's good to know that there are some games out there (one?!), that are inclusive and meaningful and entertaining. I never got over Super Mario Brothers for Nintendo Gameboy, what was that all about ;) Probably an early candidate for a game that sucked the life out of you. (That'd be Age of Empires, too...)

Thank you for sporting a tie, Angela. Beats any Versace-clad celebrity, IMO :)

 

Nice show, again!

Amazing show!

Now i want to go play all of these games again...

I think you did a grrreat job with your awards... i just wish there were more games in the final category... I get really tired of male-oriented characters.

Fingers crossed for Mass Effect 2 & Dragon Age!!!

Don't worry about the Tomb Raider spoiler ladies, I've just started playing it, and I have no freaking idea what the double means, so it really hasn't given anything away.

And I really, really need to get Fallout 3.

a standing ovation for another great episode!

although I like your giant yellow statue, I wish the trophey had been a bottle of mrs butterworth syrup holding a controller! oh well, maybe next year!

even though I started the tattoo talk I chose not to enter the contest because I just didn't want to look like a big loser when I got it wrong.  if there is ever a contest for the biggest Angela and Tracy ass-kisser though, I think the prize will be mine!

loved your sexy ties! see you next week!

Yay I finally got to see an

Yay I finally got to see an awards show that didn't bore me to tears! 

I have to say, I was disapointed not to see the Smoker getting a nomination for bad guy.  There's just something about getting tongued to death that's so inappropriate.  But I guess there's only so much Left 4 Dead domination that can go around. 

Regarding boomers, have you seen Boomer's Day Off? 

Now let's dance to what Francis hates: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc9f-VVQK3k

I have to say I was sad not to see anything related to hand held gaming.

Girl ..

That youtube video was too funny !!

Han M's picture

That video is amazing! 

That video is amazing!  And I just found Boomer's Day Off and am now giggling my head off.  The cameraman disturbing the witch in the second part was really the icing on the cake.

wicked

Loved it ladies, thought it was brilliant and very funny.

Agreed with pretty much everything really, although there were loads and loads of good games about last year i thought that there were hardly any that were good enough to make it onto any list.

For me the game of the year was BIOSHOCK but obv that couldnt make it coz it came out on the xbox about 400 yars ago and only on the ps3 last year.

Cant wait for next weeks vlog, keep up the great vids.

great job ladies

I totally agree with Fallout 3 winning the time suck award.  I can't imagine ever being able to find everything in that game. I'm actually on my 2nd time thru on that one... this time being EVIL!.  I also finished Dead Space a 2nd time thru, am still disappointed in my namesake in that one. I also just started Oblivion, and am trying to get back into Mass Effect, even tho i keep getting my ass kicked on that one.

Hope you are feeling better.

Keep up the good work.

Excellent

Thanks again for another entertaining vlog, ladies. I enjoyed it thoroughly.  

OF COURSE Left 4 Dead swept the awards (with a shout-out to Fable 2.)  You might have had a lesbian mutiny here if Zoey hadn't won anything.

I know it took forever to finish your vlog this week, but it was definitely worth the effort-thanks for keeping us entertained even when there is a lack of games! If you ever are looking for something to do you can have a viewer awards show for all your loyal viewers... just a thought :)

I have to say that you

I have to say that you girls have convinced me to get an XBOX 360 and join XBL once again, starting out with L4D.  This special has given me a good idea at what games to look out for besides SF4 and Star Ocean.

Speaking of Street Fighter, does anyone play any fighting games on here? 

gamertag is UN1KA.
