Gamer of the Year Award As tradition, we kick off the night with the very fiber that keeps the stitching of gaming in tact. The ones who drive the culture, change the perception of the youth, and lead the new generations of gamers into the pure unfiltered bliss of gaming nirvanna through digital entertainment every day. The game buyers, the stick slingers, the superstars of the keyboard. Cultivating the landscape of the hobby. Some are legends, the forefathers of gaming YouTubers and streamers who consistently entertain with some of the most time tested and amazing gaming content of all time. And some are newcomers. The new world order of what gaming will be. Young, hip and willing to take not only AAA titles but also indie devs to new heights unlike any who rivaled them before. All share a common theme of being engrained in the culture. These are the 2019 picks for Gamer of The Year.
PewDiePie
The man, the myth, the legend. Felix Kjelberg returns for another year of absolute dominance on the YouTube platform. This time taking a step back after his long winder fued with Indian Music Group T-Series to spend a little time in the light indulging in what made him the popular juggernaut he is to begin with. Video games.... Spending the latter half of his year diving deep into Minecraft let's play videos. Uploading upwards of 10 a week. Which not only garnered him new subscribers. but also the award for most views of 2019 of any independent YouTuber. Dominating the Minecraft YouTuber demographic and entertaining millions of children and adults alike.
PewDiePie also broke the record this year for most subscribers for an independent YouTube as he hit the coveted 100 million milestone. He got married this year to his wonderful wife Marzia, he slayed the enderdragon this year. And has gone through much work to better himself after a rocky 2018 of controversy. And he is eagerly hoping for your vote for Gamer of the Year.
James Rolfe (The Angry Video Game Nerd)
Since May 16th, 2004. The age before twitch cams, insta likes, loot boxes, DLC, and long before the idea of retro game collecting became the phenomenon it is today. The Angry Video Game Nerd (James Rolfe), With nothing but a VHS camcorder, his childhood memories of bad NES games and a passion for retro nostalgia that can not be rivaled. Began his cinemassacre series of online rant videos.
Since then he has not only made us laugh with his skits, funny and witty roasts, and amazing choreography. But has redefined what we thought could be of the retro gaming community. His rise of success and popularity mid 2006, followed him into the new decade. As he surged retro gaming and made it cool to collect and play the relics of the past. Data actually shows a pretty consistent correlation between the rise of the AVGN and the rise of retro game collecting in general. He has inspired children to seek the classics, and has guaranteed found thousands of dusty grey carts a forever loving home among a new fanatic. Someone who seeked to experience what James had spoken of. The simpler time of 80s gaming. The fun that they bring. And especially, the hilariously bad games that were spawned from the nether regions of the LJN dungenons.
A legend in the space of gaming and a fan favorite for well over a decade. AVGN continued this year with an amazing line up of quality content, including Majora's mask review, Jurassic Park, Pepsi Man and many other odd ball games. He again took us back to the past, to play the shitty games that sucked ass lol. And he is a staple in the culture who is well deserving of your vote tonight.
Belle Delphine
Belle Delphine's rise to stardom was amazingly sudden, and incredibly polarizing. This 20 year old self proclaimed Gamer Girl is one of the most followed and mentioned female influencers in the gaming scene. Before her account was suspended for violation of terms of service, her instagram account gained 3.2 million followers in less than a year time.
Known for her modeling, cosplaying and online skits. Belle Delphene had multiple viral moments in 2019. Such as selling jars of her bath water on her website
https://belledelphine.club/. Sending a jar of her spit to famous YouTube H3H3 productions. And also selling other things like "gamer girl pee" and "gamer girl chewed gum" on her website for fans to buy. She hosted black friday sales. She's sold out of many of these items. And game pages have shown people sharing her jarred fluids with seals of authenticity which scalpers have attempted to flip for profit. She also went on to be arrested for supposidly spray painting someones' car because they stole her hamster.
Controversial and unique. Their is no denying Belle's business savy way of staying in the spot light. She's extremely different, which imo is good sometimes. Although she is rarely seen actually playing games. She can often times be seen licking controllers. So I assume she is in some capacity a gamer.
Antonio Montiero
Antonio Montiero broke the record this year for largest video game collection. Antonio is everything we aspire to be lol. He is basically theflea
. But I felt for his amazing feat he certainly deserved to be on this list. After I assume decades of collection, hunting, flea market hopping and of course spending. He holds the claim for curating the largest curation of video game amazingness ever curated.
These gems will go on to educate, and preserve the history of gaming. As well as of course entertain Antonio as he enjoys the finest things in life. The games that make our lives special
Nathaniel Bandy
Nathaniel Bandy is a fairly new YouTuber in the game scene. But has brought many amazing videos this year garnering millions of views. He is an up and coming gaming youtuber who makes tier based videos regarding video game controllers, games, consoles and other things. He shares his opinions such as "top 10 nintendo controllers" and takes the viewer through the quirks, features and good and bad of a lot of different gaming icons and peripherals.
He is pretty entertaining, and has quite a lot of informative information
FAILURE OF THE YEARFor our next category, we go down the dark rabbit hole of the biggest woes of 2019. The companies, games and releases that let us down, dissappointed critics, scammed consumers, or just were plain out bad in more ways than one. This category tackles the lackluster tom foolery and slams those responsible, Hulk Hogan style. Time for us to toss our apples like Shakesperean times
Google Stadia
The beloved technology titan Google, the very beacon behind some of our favorite websites and internet hubs announced recently that they were going to be throwing their hat in the gladiator arena of console warfare with a gaming unit of all gaming consoles to remove the crown from the kings of gaming and perch itself upon the throne of greatness as the pinnacle of our gaming consumption. A all in one, seemless interface to revolutionize gaming forever. Gamers clammered with excitement wondering what kind of innovation or incredible features they would bring to the table. Advertised as having more power than PS4 Pro and Xbox One X combined. Google did nothing to shy away from comparisons with other dedicated console companies. It didn't unveal itself as a "streaming service" that won't be compared to Xbox or PS4. No, they came right at Xbox and Sony lol. It was portrayed to be a console slayer of monumentous proportions. But what we got, was the biggest "they done goofed" in quite some time
What we got instead was a broken, often times unplayable, laggy, failed emulator streaming service of a console that had one of the worst launches sales wise in gaming history. It felt rushed, boring, plain and most of all one dimensional. With basic controllers that did nothing to differentiate themselves from competitors, with awful input delays, awful UI and a very limited selection of games. The Stadia is well on it's way to console pergatory among the likes of the Atari Jaguar before it even got it's footing. A ambitious "console" that however was very uninspired and not ready for current consumer markets. Will it make a turn around? Only time will tell. But Xbox at VGA show showed how you convey a proper gaming console and hit a home run. PS5 is likely to do the same. Proving the old saying. If you swing at the king, you best not miss. And Google missed this time.
Death Stranding/Hideo Kojima
Death Stranding is a very polarizing game. Some love it and revere it as one of the greatest and most ambitious artistic feats in gaming of this year. With a unique and suspenseful plot. But thousands of others revere it as one of the most frustrating, dissappointing and boring games of the year. With hours of mundane walking, backtracking and delivery quests. That makes it feel like a chore more than a game.
Including it on this list was tough, because playing the fence is difficult when two sides both love and hate a game so much. But the sole reason it is being included is because how Hideo Kojima handled his criticisms and insulted the player base of his games and his consumers.
Fallout 76 Launch/Microtransactions
The long awaited new entry in the cult icon Fallout franchise was met with many disappointed fans. Firstly the devlopment team made the game online only, which crippled the long standing legacy of single player greatness the franchise had always delivered. It's world felt empty, it's performance struggled with major bugs and issue at launch.
However the main form of criticism would pour in from the massive stimulus package, mother of all mothers of pay to play microtransactions. Bethesda unraveled a giant paid for subscription service that would reward players with stash items and special loot, private servers, special perks. All for 100 dollars per day or 12.99 per month. Absolutely callous and unfortunate for bethesda to stoop to such money grabbing tactics. Releasing a half game and charging users double to access some of its best most rewarding features.
Of all games listed, this one has really hurt Bethesda in ways unimaginable. And it may take time for them to earn the player bases trust again.
National Pokedex/Pokemon Removal
When pokemon announced, it created so much hype as every entry does. It was amazingly palpable to feel the electiric atmosphere of excited children and adults alike awaiting their very next poke adventure.
But sadly gaming took a dark turn after the announcement of the national pokedex. Which cut many iconic pokemon to make room for big forms of some of the existing cast. Developer Game Freak was sadly met with backlash, hate, boycott threats and worst of all death threats following the announcements. Gamers attacked Pokemon Sword and Shield's metacritic scores with 0s. Hateful of the pokedex limitations and demanding their favorite pokemon to be restored into the roster. Claiming Nintendo was aiming for gimmicks and not the iconic fun they knew and loved.
Pokemon however went on to get amazing reviews, and millions still revere it as one of the best pokemon games of this decade. Garnering praise, millions of sales and nominations for GOTY
.
WE INTERUPT THIS BROADCAST FOR A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR!!As many of you know, with crippling debt, murderous loan sharks, and a seize and desist from about 50 game developers. We cannot operate in any capacity outside of a bowling alley in newark new jersey without selling our soul to the sponsorship overlords as they barter with it in the depths of hell on roullette tables. But without further a due, we bring you into today's sponsor. Weight Watchers. And to kick off this special presentation. We have a very special guest to share with us. How much weight watchers has meant to him and his family of seemingly unlimited little sisters. A warm welcome and a hand to our fan favorite, and legend. Big, Not so Big Daddy!!
Big Daddy - "Hello everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying their night. As many of you may know, In the late 2000s I played big daddy in the bioshock franchise. At that time I weighed over 2 tons. I was one thicc baddy. I popped every air mattress I ever layed on. I was self concious. The player judged me through the screen. I felt it. And most of all unenergetic as I stomped and put all my energy into moving like 4-5 feet and getting wrecked by a swarm of bees and heroin addicts. With the constant crumbling of underwater walls in my underwater pergatory. I found myself being the guardian and role model to dozens of children who not only depended on me, but loved me and inspired to be like me. And were pained to see me go down the rapid decline in health that I did.
Until one day I was sitting around, waiting to drill people into walls and stuff. When I turned on the TV. And saw the ad that would change my life forever. I subscribed to weight watchers. And lost 1.5 tons in 2 years. By the 2nd installment of bioshock. The fans witnessed me be sleaker, sexier, but most of all. A big daddy that the little sisters can be proud of. A father energetic enough to play catch. And dance. Now ramming people into walls, drilling spinal cords in half, and stomping bodies into a bloody paste of bones and death is easier than it has ever been. And I owe it all to weight watchers. And best of all, I didn't have to sacrafice my diet of plasma infused heroin, cigarettes and rotted red meat. I can eat the things I love and still feel like my sexy new self.
Please consider joining today. Use the coupon BIGDADDY25 for 25 percent off your first box of weight watchers healthy low calorie cousines. And remember that anything is possible going into this new year. God bless and Merry Christmas everyone.
