Video Game Award Show Announced
HorrorIsland writes "According to the Boston Globe,
Video game industry gets TV award show. Of course, it sounds like the on-screen awards will focus on celebrities both real (Dennis Hopper), artifical (Laura Croft, perhaps), and in-between (Jenna Jameson)... so you can quit trying to hold in your gut, programmers!"
...and all the prize-categories will be replicated for each region.
I suppose Donkey Kong and Ms. Pac Man were not invited, simply because they're out of favor with the "in" crowd. What a convenient way to overlook their innumerable contributions to video gaming over the years. I, frankly, am disgusted.
Most expanded Female chest in an Action Game
Largest amount of gore created from a shotgun blast

As winner of the "longest amount of overtime worked on wacky feature, removed two days after completion when the designer decided he doesn't want it after all" award, I'd like to say hello to my wife, family and dog who are all but a faint memory, and would like to know if I can use the MTV showers.
why is this such a stereotype with programmers?
it's just because of this i've been trying to _get_ a gut for years, beer, cheetos the works - but nothing doing yet
and to top it all off, i have to have /. in the morning reminding me how much of a lesser coder i am with comments like these!
please stop this horrible stereotype, so us skinny geeks can finally stand up proud!!
