Steamtoid chat will be alive with discussion of the announcements as they happen. Worth noting that British viewers can legally watch it for the first time this year on [url]ginx.tv[/url] too.

I have all three of those reasons not to watch VGA, and I'm glad I can always rely on Dtoid delivering the news in the most awesome fashion.
Well maybe I'll take a peak at VGA live while getting a blowjob, but you know, like, whatever.

Yeah, I could care less about the VGAs, but I can't wait to see what announcements are made. I'm crossing my fingers for something amazing from Bioware. The teaser image they showed did nothing for me. I want my mind blown, dammit. Anyway, I can't wait!

"Spike VGAs are a big deal"

NOPE.

You can watch all the previews after the event too yknow, and that way you don't have to sit through the most bs awards show of all time.

There is suppose to be a megaton Sony announcement that none of us saw coming. There are rumors on the web that it could be related to "the last of us" actually being the code name for Half Life 3 but that's Imposible. Or is it?

Spike's VGAs sort of make me embarrassed to be a gamer. And, Spike in general sort of makes me embarrassed to be a man.

If last year was any indication, expect a Fallout 4 announcement.

Wow, Alan Wake huh? I'm surprised and impressed. Doesn't seem like your sort of game but that's awesome. I'm with you on that, hope to see more about it tonight.

Have to give the little fella credit every now and then. He's not completely hopeless, I guess. But I thought the gameplay was pretty good in the first game. He probably wants more chainsaw assault rifles and inferno ammo. Or maybe a Battlefield 3 flashlight.

More like "Video Game Announcements" am I right?

That and confused music/movie stars who think "What the hell am I doing here? Isn't COD a fish?"

VGA's are just irrelevant as that G4phoria crap that went under

The only reason it's worth watching is because of the announcements, game awards be damned, yet let us bitch when they chose a game that is not out GOTY.

If Geoff's animal gif's are actual hints then I think we're getting a new Metal Slug.

Who the fuck are you, and what did you do with JimmyX and his habit of writing SENTENCES like with certain WORDs capitalized in a fashion that THROWS me the fuck OFF.

Seriously though, right with you on that, Alan Wake was legit.
