2011 VGA's

The first year spike did the VGA's I was into it...until I sat there and tried to watch it. Good Lord Almighty that was painful! And it hasn't really risen above mediocre in my opinion, the whole show is just painful to watch with ridiculous over the top antics and presenters that can't even get the games title correct. It boggles my mind how an industry that is rivaling Hollywood can't do better!
With that off my chest this year's VGA's on Spike will be hosted by Geoff Keighley, and the executive producer is Mark Burnett...so there is a chance that this years VGA's might actually be viewable.
The VGA's are December 10, 2011 at 8PM et.
