Speaking of shat, Frodo of the Weekly Geek podcast relates the harrowing tale of the Elans, a new Canadian video game award show that sounds like it needs a bit of work, to put it lightly.
The first presenters came out and started going over nominees, and the same four games were nominated over and over again. Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, Peter Jackson's King Kong, Need For Speed and Farcry Instincts: Predator. Over and over and over again they would play the same game trailer. I counted seeing the Prince of Persia trailer nine times over the whole evening. They would play the same trailer for score as they would for graphics, even if the trailer had no score in it.
This event is also discussed in detail in the Weekly Geek podcast, on which Tycho Brahe from Penny Arcade, Rikki Simons from Invader Zim and Shutterbox, and myself are guests (plug.).
My favorite story of the evening is an episode that Frodo cannot help but crow about, in which Uwe Boll is called up to the podium to present an award, and Frodo cannot contain his Geek Rage. He waits for a quiet moment.
"UWE BOLL SUCKS!"
Right you are, young master Frodo!
