No one's ever made a bong in the shape of a game designer. (And now you can watch it. Fully.) 01 Apr, 2009 / Comments: 2
Well, call me heartbroken. There isn't a single video of what's apparently been one hilarious evening, hosted by Tim Schafer. The awards were aired on TV by G4 today, but for those of us outside of North America or without a TV, such as myself, this is a raw deal if it doesn't hit the internet soonish. Some other quotes, apart from the one in the title:
- "The other day I was swimming and a man waved and me and yelled but I couldn't hear him. And then a shark came and bit off my arm. That's when I learned the importance of audio."
- "Downloadable games come into your house through the walls, just like ghosts. They entertain you but you can't touch them, much like strippers. And when they're smaller games, they must be more creative, like short strippers."
If you know where we can get some sort of live footage, that would be great. We did get some live text, but man, that's just not the same.
Update: You can watch most of it. Thanks Noah!
It should also be on TV on April 10th. Thanks jaap!
Update update: Woah. You can now watch it more fully, filmed from the sidelines by one Alex P. Thanks, man.
