[BeeDog]

And Deadmau5 will be having a gig at the awards, apparently it's something gaming-related.

[facepalm007]

The voice of Flynn Rider from Tangled.

Cool, I guess.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Cool, I guess.

He's also the main dude of Chuck, lol

 

[Vinterbird]

He's also the main dude of Chuck, lol

And he actually knows his videogames, which is a plus one in the VGA book.

 

[Kagari]

Heh, at least they got a good host.

And suddenly I'm interested in the VGAs.



He's not voicing any characters in games this year is he?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Heh, at least they got a good host.

Next year: Conan! (fat chance lol)

 

[Special J]

Slightly more interested, only because I loved Chuck, and this guy has a good personality. Hopefully they haven't written shit jokes for him to tell and parade him around in insulting cosplay.

 

[Nirolak]

Apparently people are more interested in this than I expected, so we'll split it into its own thread.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

I don't even know who that is.

The dude that played Kipp on ABC's banger, Less Than Perfect.

 

[scitek]

Will Olivia Munn have another awkward appearance?

 

[fernoca]

Hmm..good looking guy..with long hair and beard:

And without it:

..and a gamer; with good sense of humor too.

Hmm, guess I'll be watching it!!! ..

 

[DieH@rd]

interest risen... but i'll still not watch it.

 

[Codeblue]

Levi must be some sort of wizard. I was sure it was impossible for him to do worse than Chuck.

 

[Wario64]

Will Olivia Munn have another awkward appearance?

I've never watched previous VGAs, did something happen?

 

[Soma]

black keys? ehhh maybe i will watch it after all...

 

[Majanew]

Who, who and who?

 

[Cow Mengde]

Who, who and who?

Yeah, that about sums up what I wanted to post.

 

[King of the Potato People]

Are they Gaffers?

 

[Impeccable]

I've heard of all three and I live under a rock.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Reminds me that I need to finish buying Chuck Blu-Rays.

Great choice of host, he is now at the top of my favorite tv series characters since Jack Baur, finished with 24.

Dont know about the musical talent though.

 

[D4Danger]

Who, who and who?

you're so cool

 

[funkystudent]

so what award is he gonna win?

Wiki says he did a voice for Fallout NV.

Thats enough isnt it?

 

[[Nintex]]

I've never watched previous VGAs, did something happen?

She's going to lick the new Xbox.

 

[Diprosalic]

cool i like zach but the writers will give him horrible stuff and everyone will hate him.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Deadmau5? I'm in.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Never heard of any of that talent. If it's good, link us up some examples.

 

[Quick]

Good host with Zach Levi, and good choice with the Black Keys. Not really sure about Deadmau5, since I haven't actually listened to anything by him.

 

[Majanew]

you're so cool

Not knowing who any of them are makes me cool? Ah, I must be making it up to look kewl! Never seen Chuck and I listen to death metal so if I'm to hear about shitty bands, they'll have to be shoved in my face everywhere I look, like Lady Gaga.

how do you even know they're shitty?

 

[X26]

just keep that fat creepy neckbeard from last year away from the event, he set gamer's rights back 10yrs

 

[Doctor_20]

Why?

Why do there need to be non-gaming related hosts and bands? This isn't the kid's choice awards.

But I hope Deadmau5 does actually do something gaming related

 

[IC_Champion]

Heh, at least they got a good host.

Will they give him an award for hosting?

 

[gdt]

That's a pretty awesome lineup.

 

[criesofthepast]

Will watch for deadmau5.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Black Keys? Huh. Consider me interested.

 

[Zoramon089]

how do you even know they're shitty?

Because they're not death metal?

 

[A Pretty Panda]

When I read the name I had a picture of who I thought that would be. I googled him and I was right.

Crap.

 

[spirity]

Black Keys? Huh. Consider me interested.

Same. I'm kinda liking them atm.

 

[enzo_gt]

Deadmau5 is cool. I'm not a fan, but I occasionally enjoy the few songs I hear from him, and he's quite a bit more appropriate for the VGAs than many other big artists are.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

did somebody just call the black keys shitty


o lawd

 

[Wario64]

did somebody just call the black keys shitty


o lawd

But it's a band he's never heard of. Of course they're shitty.

 

[Jarmel]

This sounds alot better than I expected.
