Finally: It’s going to pay to not have plans on a Saturday night. Starting at 8:00pm Eastern Time / 5:00pm Pacific Time tonight, SPIKE TV’s 2011 Video Game Awards will kick off live with an awards show celebrating some of the year’s best games (including the coveted Game of the Year award) and “more than 10” world premieres of upcoming games. I know I’ll be watching live — will you?

VGA’s tonight! Hope UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception comes out big and brings home Game of the Year.
I’m Playing: UNCHARTED: Drake’s Fortune, UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves, and UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception, Voltron: Defender of the Universe, and Resistance 3.
I’m Watching: White Collar via Netflix, New Girl, and Glee via Hulu Plus, and VGA’s tonight.
I’m Reading: Any info I can find on The Last of Us! Nice background by the way ;)
I’m Listening to: Official PlayStation Blogcast Episode 003, and Lacuna Coil “Trip the Darkness.”
I’m boycotting the VGAs for the foreseeable future after last year’s travesty, where frickin’ Split/Second won over Gran Turismo 5 for Best Racing Game. No offense to S/S, it’s a good game, but, c’mon, let’s face it, GT is the king of all racing games. I swear to frickin’ god, the VGAs HATE Gran Turismo; Only the fourth game won Best Racing Game; I don’t think Prologue won when it was up for the award, but you can correct me if I’m wrong. Just like I’m boycotting any Emmy coverage until Leighton Meester wins an Emmy for playing Blair Waldorf on “Gossip Girl”. Which will probably never happen. And if that’s the case, I’ll never watch it again.
Oh, and one more thing (Directed at Sid):
Are you going to have Eutechnyx on in the next couple of weeks to talk about Absolute Supercars, which is supposed to come out by the end of the month (That is, if it’s coming out here in NA. It is, right, Sid?)? I’m only asking B/C I’ve been following this game going AAAALLLLLL the way back a couple years when it came out in Europe as Supercar Challenge. Anyway, I’m really, REALLY looking forward to its release on PSN, as it will be a day-one buy for me. Please let me know if you are.
Hey Sid, have you played Pixeljunk Sidescroller at all? I’ve been playing it a lot lately and I think it may end up being my game of the year. The Last Stage is absolutely brilliant. I’m playing through it again on hard right now and it just keeps getting better (it’s like a whole new game).
I’m Watching: Gossip Girl, 90210, NFL football both last Sunday and Tomorrow (Colts Make Me Sad ;-(), College Basketball (Duke vs. Washington today), SEC Heroes: Herschel Walker (PLEASE tell me I’m not the only one that has watched this from beginning to end), YouTube.
I’m Reading: Absolutely Nothing.
I’m Listening To: Full Albums on YouTube: MY NEW OBSESSION!!!!! ;-D
I’m playing: Just got 100% on Pacman Champion DX, so now finishing Galaga Legions DX’s last trophy, Time Attacks, to complete it. Then I’ll work my way through Red Dead Redemption and Split Second as I can.
I’m watching: the VGAs on Spike TV (tonight!) Heroes, True Blood, Neverwhere, and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.
I’m reading: Alan Dean Foster (Flynx and Pip series), Terry Pratchett (Snuff), Neil Gaiman (American Gods) and Margret Atwood (various).
I’m listening to: The Shadow and The Green Hornet’s Old Time Radio shows. Music-wise; Johnny Hollow and various EBM.
Thanks for reporting on the Move for me Sid on MLB 12. Sounds like they finally made something that is going to make me get a Move. Can’t wait to give it a go.
