Spike TV announces VGAs E3 First Look Special  photo

I know, you aren't listening to me now because you're staring at the rather provocative picture of Rose McGowan I posted above. Well, you may be motivated to check out Spike TV's 2009 E3 First Look Special now, because along with a slew of exclusives, Rose herself will be hosting alongside Geoff Keighley. You can also look forward to exclusives on games such as Mass Effect 2, DJ Hero, Aliens Vs. Predator, Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time and more.

It airs Thursday, May 28th at 11:00 PM ET/PT on Spike TV. I've been the the VGA's before, and I can vouch that Spike put on a hell of a show, whether gamers like it or loath it. It'll be interesting to see what this special will offer. You're still looking at the picture, aren't you?

Spike's unparalleled multi-platform coverage will kick-off the 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). The network will debut “GameTrailers TV Presents: The 2009 VGAs-E3 First Look Special,” a blow-out hour-long preview special that teams up with leading game publishers to unveil the most anticipated games of E3 before the game industry's biggest trade show even opens.  The special marks the kick off to the “2009 Video Game Awards” which will air LIVE in December from Los Angeles.  In addition, GameTrailers.com will provide wall-to-wall, 24-hour coverage including high-definition gameplay videos, interviews and live, commercial-free streams of the five major press conferences from Xbox, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Sony and Nintendo.

"We're grateful that so many publishers have chosen to share sneak previews of their biggest E3 titles first with Spike and GameTrailers," said Geoff Keighley, executive in charge of publisher relations, Spike.  "Spike is supporting the industry's biggest tradeshow with our largest on-air commitment yet, and this is just the start of an amazing back-half of the year for video game programming on Spike."

During E3, the action continues at GameTrailers.com, the internet's leading destination for game media.  Last year the site garnered an industry-leading 58 million views of E3-related content.  At GameTrailers, viewers can watch E3 the way they want to, on-demand, with 24-hours of continuous HD coverage including developer walkthroughs, gameplay videos, interviews, live streams of the five major press conferences and a special episode of the roundtable talk show "The Bonus Round."

"E3 is the biggest week of the year for GameTrailers.com and this year we are going to offer the best coverage of E3 by combining on-air and online resources to deliver a one-stop shop for gamers," said Jon Slusser, senior vice president of digital and video games, Spike, and executive producer, GTTV.

On Thursday, June 4th, Spike TV gives E3 a send-off with a special wrap-up episode of  “Game Trailers TV With Geoff Keighley” at 12:30 AM ET/PT.  Shot on location during E3, GTTV grills the top executives from Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft to get the real story on the future of each gaming console. In addition, viewers will see world premieres not shown at E3, including FIFA 2010 from EA Sports.

Who in the hell thought it would be hot if they put her on a gyno table?

That's disgusting.

Rose McGowen manages to be enough to make me watch how more likely terrible Spike's VGA show is going to be. And I'll probably end up hating myself for it.

Uhmm could care less about the VGA, I'm more concerned with Rose in the gyno office. Is she holding a vibrator or are those typical tools of the gyno trade?

I actually work in a gyno office, and I can say that the tables that we use look nothing like that uncomfortable sheet of metal they propped her up on.

@pendelton21:
no but i do own one, i used to work for an OB/gyn supply warehouse shipping out all kinds of crazy crap. like 7 pound weights with a lip on it to hold parts open. Doppler heart beat monitors. anoscopes. fem-glide. etc. you name it. if it went in or near a vagina we shipped it.

ive even seen pictures from a computer that was attached to a colposcope that was sent in from a rape clinic. it was NOT pretty.

Fuck Spike and fuck the VGAs. I can't wait until we have a legitimate award show for video games that isn't just an excuse to parade around a few dipshit celebrities.

Yeah the VGA's are horse shit

They could have Rose McGowan spread her legs and I still wont watch. Unless she actually as Technophile says "suck my dick" trough the screen then maybe I'll tune in but only for some head...Dood

Yeah, that put me right off sex and masturbating for a while. What ever happened to spooning and holding hands until the waiter brings the Italian food? The best thing I can say about that is that it didn't go fecal.

Et tu, Colette? Athiestium will not be pleased. JIM! TWO DUDES KISSING, STAT.

Also, ugh gross. They should have replaced the vibrators with bloody tampons to be extra not-sexy.
