Morning Discussion

The Spike VGAs have come and gone, leaving behind a bucket of game reveals. Some of the reveals were known to us, like the third game in the Mass Effect trilogy. Some of the reveals were confusing, like is Forza 4 the same Forza with Kinect features revealed at E3 2010 or is this a second, new Forza title? Some were a little hard to get excited about, like a 2013 release date for THQ and Guillermo del Toro's horror-title collaboration.

I hesitate to call The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim a "surprise," since a new entry in the series was expected; however, I kind of turned into a blubbering mess when I saw Todd Howard take the stage. As a big Elder Scrolls nerd, I can't wait to see what Bethesda has in store for the franchise.

Considering all the trailers featured during the 2010 Spike VGAs, which was your favorite? Have these reveals changed your "Anticipated for 2011" list?

      Opinions on video game news:
      If blurbs were written more like

      with equal parts humor and news, I would read them more often. Now I know they can't do it for every game, but just reading "______ was announced at the Spike VGA. Here's the trailer" gets kinda boring and doesn't make me want to watch the trailer at all.

      Go thank the Incheon Tourism Organization for their great sponsorship of GSL Season 3.

      Go try and get into the Korean Air lounge. That shit is fucking great. They have a fuckton of food and nice chairs and TV's and private bathrooms where you can take a dump in peace. I almost wanted to just live there instead of flying home last time I was in Korea.

      There's no way I could spend 12 hours in an airport. I'd go insane.
