Games Media Awards results: We walk away empty handed, but boy were we drunk

Recommended Videos

The results are in, I’ve lost my voice from shouting about King Edward potatoes, and Destructoid was FAIL. These are the important facts about the first ever Games Media Awards. Later on, my colleague David Houghton will have what you’re all waiting for, video evidence and a wad of pictures (yes I took the damn monocle), but for now you’re stuck with me.

Yes, Destructoid lost out to UK: Resistance for best non-commercial Web site. I’m not going to say that geopolitics were involved … but of the nominees throughout the night, only one winner was from a non-British Web site. Of course, I am not bitter, but I knew UK: Resistance was taking it and if we did have to be beaten, I’m glad it was at least by those crazy wankers.  How about showing other countries some love next year though, eh?

Big congratulations to Eurogamer for cleaning house and for at least one of them being quite nice. Hit the jump for the full results that Justin V pointed me in the direction of, because I was too drunk to remember anything but burlesque dancers and someone throwing up. Also, stay tuned for David and the all-important pictures.
