I'd have to see the actual joke. Does not sound good to me so far, at all.

[up][up]You don't watch Adult Swim, do you? Loiter Squad had a show that lasted 2 seasons, which was a weird hybrid of Jackass and SNL.

Irene: I suggest we just let it drop. Seriously. It's just flame bait.

Honeydance: No, it's that Geoff was trying to keep up appearances, and Joel was like "F your movie magic, they're on the prompter. I'm not holding the iPad like some tool."

A lot happened in those three hours and I drank like three cans of Dr. Pepper for a drinking game so everything's sort of fuzzy beyond the moments I screenshoted and put dumb commentary on.

I don't even remember the whole ascended meme thing. All I saw was "thanks from Naughty Dog".

[up][up]Basically, leading up to PS 4 release it became a running gag to use Antonio Banderas gifs. The last one in particular.

[up] That is fantastic. evil grin

Still need to see the video. But still sounds like it's heading towards transphobia here. Likewise, there's never a reason for a trans* joke of a well-known character. Now, if Wario was planned to go trans for real, I actually would love that. It'd be a new thing for Nintendo to do, and they are a little low on notable females in the overall Mario expanded universe anyway. XD But it should not be joked about, since a sex change is a very serious thing in reality.

I see no reason to defend a trans* joke anyway. If it was in bad taste in the first place, then people getting offended is more than justified in itself.

[up]The gif comes from the movie "Assassins".

Here is the original scene it is from.

Angry Joe gives his opinion on the Awards and what they should do to make the Awards Show not seem like it's just there to ridicule its audience and be lazy about the medium in general. He seems to share the opinions most of the people here have with the show.

The first couple of minutes are just of him reacting to Joel and Geoff's "chemistry" and who I assume to be the Loiter Squad's attempts at humor. Afterwards, he starts weighing in.

Okay, not wanting to beat a dead horse, but this article had to be posted, mainly due to some quotes I think were funny. Maybe tasteless, but funny nevertheless.

Funnily enough, there's some minor debate about whether or not GTA V deserved to beat The Last of Us as 2013's Game of the Year, but for the most part all the chatter, dialogue and social media meta-verse has been consumed with how terri-bad the VGX awards show was. From the Loiter Squad proving that some pro-lifers are wrong for wanting abortions banned, to the cheap set designs that looked like they were rented from a college student who was squatting in a condemned loft, the whole thing was an epic fail.

And that was probably one of the lesser jokes probably on the article.

Transexual jokes are made on a daily basis. The only thing is there are good ones and bad ones. End of story. On another note: saw video or AC IV Black Flag and the acceptance award sucked ass. Glad it won I'm vexed by the awfulness of the show.

He's the producer for the show. That means that he's in charge of it. Everything we saw (except for Joel going off the rails occasionally) was done with his approval.

Also, he really oversells the show every year. The idea that Nintendo was revealing a brand new game came from Geoff. Nintendo of America's official twitter feed was pretty specific that it was new content for an already-announced game.

[up][up]I never liked him even when he was on EP Daily (Electric Playground) just because he always seemed to sucked up to the people he was interviewing and I just don't like when people do that.

...they won? All they did was pop in, say some vague things, maybe juggle and dance and paint a little, and then disappear.
