Spike To Air E3 Critics Awards

SpikeTV has announced that they will be airing the E3 Critics Choice awards, the first time that the awards will have an officially televised ceremony. The awards are set to be aired on Tuesday the 7th of June. That evening will feature other gaming-related programming, such as E3 highlights and a showing of "The Ultimate Gamer". From the article: "This original special will take viewers for an inside look at the E3, the world's largest video game industry convention and will offer a sneak peek at some of the games that will start hitting stores later this year. THE ULTIMATE GAMER specials present some of videogame's hottest and most anticipated game titles."

Is there anything Spike TV WON'T do to ruin gaming and the image of gamers?

How they might judge their games

[Neronix]

I can guess how the so-called judges will do their judging, and it'll be pretty accurate.

They send their 11 year old sons to logon to the IGN forums, all posting a thread with the following content:

"Hay there! Can u guyz tell me what games u all liek from E3? No GHEYcube or FAGolution plzzz lolol"

They then harvest their replies, (Such as, "Maden roxxorz! Driv3r to!") and tweak their data (Read: Remove mentions of good games and replace them with cliche licensed games). They give the data back to their fathers and the totally wrong people end up with awards!

If I'm successful, this should get modded up as funny, but there's a chance of it being modded as informative too since this is possibly true :P

OK, so "Spike" is airing more video game garbage..

Judging from their video game "awards" show (Sponcered by EA!), lemme guess what you'll see:

-Ohmigod! XBox 360 is amazing! Look at the boobs on these girls! Volleyball is T3H AWESOME!!!

-Oh wow! I'm too stupid to realize that's just a cutscene, but look how realistic the new Madden looks!

-7 new FPSs that all look identical! YEEEEEEEEES!!!!

-Nintendo? They make games for 6 year-olds.
