With no more major releases slated for 2010 (sans Cataclysm), our gaming year is officially over.
Nerd Appropriate is covering the 2010 Spike VGA awards with a live stream, some pizza, and hopefully some toilet humor. (Sat 12/11 8pm EST)
Even if you can’t attend the party itself we are going to give away “Achievements” to the folks that can guess the winners in a wide variety of categories. What are these “achievements” you speak of? You’ll have to wait and see.
How do you cast your vote? Simple, copy and paste the list below and select a winner for each category. Paste your answers in this thread and you’re done. Like I tell my students, even if you don’t know the answer or don’t have an opinion, guess! Like you were really “working” at your desk anyway?
The actual VGA’s have around 30 different categories, but we narrowed our list down to 10. Good luck!
