Because it's video games related and the awards will actually represent the opinion of the more informed gamer.

Wow.
Ghost Trick has a fairly decisive ending, though. Not an impossible one to follow up, but one that would be hard to do so without changing up the cast, tone and pacing quite a bit.

I'd rather get that opinion without wading through forced comedy and in jokes thanks. Unless you don't think gaf has an informed opinion...
it's called space station 13

So just like GAF, but with more cleverly named awards?

I don't think anyone would say with a straight face, in 2012, that Wario64 is a paid pro-sony shill troll

We still love Wario64 though.

How would they vote, considering everyone is anonymous?

They have to login through the Steam OpenID site and then vote.

Sony shills don't screw sony over and buy a hundred 1 year PS+ cards for $10 each

From the looks of it, Skyrim is in mostly the negative awards categories and Bioware and their titles will most likely win those.
None of those are nominated for anything.

Oh my god... these categories made me laugh for 2 minutes straight.

Welp. I'm officially a viral marketer now. Might as well go all out.
PS3, only for $249!

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I'm glad I'm not the only person who caught a little whiff of irony there.

RE: /v/ opinion on GAF- why do I never see the Sony fanboys? Am I blind, or just awesome at staying out of shitty threads?
You sound so bitter. Lighten up.

LoL and SC2 are in the worst community awards

Oh, I guess I didn't bother looking at anything else once I voted for biodrones.
Uncharted threads are pretty disastrous. Especially the review one over an 8/10 score.

Frankly, there are tons of Sony superfans. And tons of Nintendo superfans. And tons of Microsoft superfans. And tons of PC superfans. And tons of Apple superfans. And tons of people who love or hate or love to hate just about every brand across every interest. That's what makes the allegations that "GAF IS BIASED" so insane. The place gets accused of being "biased towards" and "biased against" everything. You can pretty much guarantee that anyone who gets banned after a long record of console war silliness will complain that "GAF [mods] ARE BIASED [towards the thing they got banned for insulting / against the thing they got banned for running defence on]".
We're pretty good at banning the people that get out of hand, though, so most of the insufferable people don't last long and get pretty frequent time-outs
If anyone feels that moderation hasn't done a good job keeping a particular thread clean, I recommend PMing a mod.
I actually have literally no clue what that post is referring to. If someone wants to tell me a thread to investigate to look for, I guess, the "deleted posts" or whatever we're alleged to have done to cover up stuff, I can do that. Or if there's a specific userid or username I should be investigating, I can do that. I don't see any mysterious gaps in the user record or missing wads of accounts. I read NPD threads before I was a mod and I've never seen huge swaths of posts deleted. I'm not sure how anyone would track the "daily unique users" (I'm guessing something foolish like Alexa). I don't recall anyone on GAF ever claiming to be "adding" a particular number of users per month. I think at least 1000 people register per month but registrations are normally approved in batches as I'm sure everyone is aware. I dunno what else to say. I promise I'll get to the bottom of the conspiracy if anyone can tell me what to look for.

Well while we're on the topic, this thread is a cesspool
The problem is if you call out MS for their questionable lineup and happen to say something good about Sony's in the same thread, some people immediately place the Sony fanboy tag on you. Like I was called one in that thread a few days ago when I started the first 4 years of this gen as a 360 user with ps3 taking up about 10% of my time, and now I'm a PC gamer. Before my PC died a week ago I hadn't turned my PS3 on in a month.
No doubt we have actual fanboys of every side. In fact they're relatively easy to spot if you follow a lot of system-related threads, but I think many perceive the problem to be worse because they immediately place tags on anyone speaking ill of one and not the other.
Good that they added two extra nomination spaces in that category. I'm surprised they didn't put Notch in that one considering how much they pick on him for it.
DNF hitting a lot of nominations. lol

yeah right. you guys are totally biased. like that one time i personally insulted a guy and you banned me. WHY ARE YOU BIASED AGAINST KITTENS?I actually have literally no clue what that post is referring to.

I'm actually really hoping that he was taking the piss out of the OP :lol
There is some amazing stuff in there though, I like how we conspired with 1up to conceal the truth about GTAIV on the 360. And seriously that whole post about RP January being a DIRECT ATTACK on anonymous, replete with smiling EviLore photo in the corner, had me in tears I was laughing so hard.

You missed the point again. It isn't that they think that making fun of Gabe's weight is hilarious or cutting edge. They love Gabe and Valve more than just about any other person/company in the business. Jokes about his weight are part and parcel of this.
This is the same type of environment that produces a "least hated game of the year" award and yet still remains far less serious than GAF about most things.

i missed the part where that makes it anything other than tired and obvious. i missed the part where it makes it FUNNY. which was my only complaint about it in the first place.
that it isn't funny.
someone defending it, even said it was the 'easiest' joke to make. so no. i'm not the one missing the point.
'it isn't funny'.
'but they love Gabe!'
'and?'
if you have to explain a joke...

You know.
I understand everything you've written.
And I don't really disagree with the facts.
But 4chan is still terrible.

The neogaf conspiracy thread was awesome. People spent hours trying to make stuff up to laugh about. Don't take anything serious there.

So....am I missing something? Why do they dislike Minecraft ?
But, funny category names, some good choices - looks better than a lot of award picks!

Obviously, but that's sort of the problem with 4chan. You have to assume that every single thing being posted is attention-whoring troll-bait, because 9 times out of 10 that's all it is. Posts exist so that the poster can look at how many replies they get, they don't exist as part of a discourse.
Which is fine of course, but it's not for me.
