A couple years ago I was a nominee for this award show, when they had Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane hosting. It was . . . almost comical. They'd been forced to move venues and it was laughably ill-prepared even after a several months of delay. The lack of quality eventually became a running joke among the crowd, where we'd cheer when things like the same video clip being used 5 or more times happened.

They also constantly blinded the audience with the lights throughout the show (until we groaned enough they shut them off), poorly timed cues and repetitive video clips.

Best part of the show? MacFarlane and his rapidly-emptying highballs.

Good luck, America, I hope it's been somewhat improved since then!

so, judging only by this article, are these guys trying to position themselves as the respectable, highbrow version of a videogames award show (as in, the antithesis of the VGAs)?

Believe me, the indigenous fauna which populate the Gaslamp District will make any occasion sexy, regardless of how many ubergeeks you throw in.
