When I was a kid, I chose to put ketchup on steak, but that didn't mean I wasn't an idiot. I also chose to be a democrat in 5th grade because my mom was, with no clear idea of what the difference even was, and I chose not to brush my teeth because it seemed like too much hassle, which led to cavities. Asking a group of hyperactive kids at a convention to pick their favorite game when all it comes down to is brand loyalty and the money of their parents who buy them the game in the first place is like asking them which fuel-efficient car is the best, between a Toyota Prius and a Honda Civic Hybrid; they don't know, they don't care, but by Christ one way or another, you'll get some sort of answer out of them.
Maybe the kids are just being sensible and are choosing the one that doesn't release Toby Keith songs and have the nerve to call itself "Rock Band" instead of just "Band."
Doesn't Guitar Hero have Tokio Hotel and Paramore songs? Yeah, that's why it won. Popularity contest a go, point in case: the Jonas Brothers/ High School Musical VII.
Nickelodeon hasn't been relevant since Keenan and Kel.
I'm trying to figure out why you're getting so butthurt over a *kids television award show*. Seriously, I'd expect this from something that actually matters, like the GDC or some big media outlet's award show, not Nickolodeon.
I know that I have been waiting with BATED fucking breath for the announcement of the Kids' Choice Award winners. Oh please, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson! Do not keep us waiting any longer! I simply must know what America's tweens voted as the best motion picture of the year! Oh look! High School Musical 3 beat out the Dark Knight! GAAAH! I FUCKING HATE TWEENS! WHY MUST THEY ALL BE SO STUPID!?!?
@Gorilla Snow is hot for Snorlax: Hey, here's another one! Best animated movie...Madagascar 2! Well would you look at that. The movie with the annoying penguins and David Schwimmer as a giraffe beat out Bolt, Kung Fu Panda, AND Wall-E in one fell swoop!
@aaronchandler: Hey look. When I click on this guy's name, there's a little lowercase "f" in the corner of his user icon. I wonder what that could mean?
@Gorilla Snow is hot for Snorlax: You know, I actually liked Bolt too. People give you funny looks when you say that though, so you tend to end up as a closet Bolt fan. If anyone walks in on you watching it alone in your room, you have to cover up your tv real quick and go "It's not what you think! I was masturbating to porn!"
kids know best. cant deny that. personally I really dislike Rock Band, it just seems broken to me, it doesnt replicate the reeeal feel of playing that Guitar Hero does.
I do own RB and RB2 and have downloaded a butt-load of tunes but thats just cause I'm a gamer and I love the latest and greatest. but really, i find myself playing GH a lot more.
It's just like my Pepsi/Coke argument.
i know its a conspiracy but I think the same dudes that own Pepsi own coke. Therefore they make 100% of profits and only a few have to know about it.
When you start a business, why not create direct competition but dont tell anyone? then you create great interest in your product and your competitors (which is really YOU) and you make ALL the profit.
I have researched the Pepsi/coke history and there was a time when Pepsi was literally dead, Coke kicked their asses all the way almost out of the market, and then somehow Pepsi came back. What i think happened was Coke bought them out and hired executive to pose as Pepsi Executives when really they work for Coke. thats the only logical explanation.
In the same way, but more obvious, Harmonix created GH originally and then went on and made Rock Band. That Rigulopulous guy is still making bank of GH while making crazy more bank on Rock Band.
It's still happening and all these "wars" between RB and GH are fake because they are really brainchildren of the same dude.
I don't care if he uses Auto-tune or not, I still like the way the guys voice sounds, and I don't have the technology (or the effort) to recreate it myself. For that, I respect him.

They're not going to put M-Rated titles in the nominee pool when 99% of their target audience can't even play them.

The Lonely Island guys are excellent. Check out some of their other vids. Especially "We Like Sports", it's so Tim and Eric it's excellent.

Madagascar 2...beat Wall-E.

To be fair though, The Dark Knight was a horrible movie.
