Live-blogging the Games Media Awards!
October 16th, 2008 @ 20:20
Live from the Jongleurs Comedy Club in London’s Camden Lock. The British games media industry is currently drunk. See what happens when some of them get awarded for writing about videogames. After the break. We’re using CoverItLive, so there’s no need to refresh.

Throw a celebrity style strop if you don’t win!

Hello John and Charlotte.

)

Ah, that’s the way live blogging should be done. At least here you hear when something new pops up even if it’s in a different tab.
October 16th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
I can’t imagine having to perform standup to drunk games journalists, it must be like a special kind of hell
October 16th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Someone forgot to charge his laptop.
October 16th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
What’s annoying is that for live updates of comments we still have to refresh, thus defeating the object. I’m not complaining, it’s still like magic future technology to me.
I’m mostly amazed that someone in London is still in possession of their laptop at the end of a day!

Two tabs = win.
October 16th, 2008 at 8:53 pm

Drat, this is taking along time to start.
October 16th, 2008 at 8:56 pm

October 16th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
It would be cool though if you would take the laptop up on stage…
October 16th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Pleasy say hello to my girlfriend… she’s right at the front and has just turned her phone off. Oh I’ll do it… HI!
October 16th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
“Tom Bramwell just texted me to say if I win I have to take my laptop up with me on stage. I’m not going to do that.”
What if WE tell you to do it XD
October 16th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
What kind of laptop are you using? The battery life must be terrible.
October 16th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Tell Rupert to check his mail!!
October 16th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Heckle the loser!
October 16th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
You have Bolton favourite, Peter Kay, to thank for the current spree of “You know Wagon wheels…” comedians that generally pervade Chicken-in-a-basket style comedy clubs.

October 16th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Maybe you can swap your award for a decent laptop, pat. If you win that is.

Ellie the one that does the Live blogs?
If so, you were up against SERIOUSLY stiff competition.
October 16th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Losers! What the hell? I came here because I thought this is where the winners are. I’ll just be getting my coat.
October 16th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
It is a dark day for VG247 indeed.
October 16th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
Indeed
/scrolls down to the emo part of the page
October 16th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
Speechless.
It’s a fucking fix. Gotta be.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
I love you pat.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
I say we kill Bramwell.
Srsly.
Anybody got torches and pitchforks?
Because I have some.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Why feel bad?
Ofcourse it was a fix, it would have been sexism if the woman didn’t win. They had no choice.

Why do I see written in latin in that Games Media Awards live blogging window O.o ?
I’ve hoped that I would never see latin ever again
:p
October 17th, 2008 at 8:44 am
No idea about that, I’m afraid. Looks pretty English to me. Well, vaguely.
October 17th, 2008 at 9:18 am

Not one note of consolation for having to sit next to Melville all night. Tell him I miss him and I’ll see him at Christmas.
October 17th, 2008 at 10:08 am
He was pissed out of his face. Drunk fuck
October 19th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
Was it the cider? Or is he back on the vodka cranberries now?
