by The_acz

Friday was quite an entertaining day for sonic fans.

Yesterday, Sonic and Dr. Eggman themselves took to Twitter to answer some eager fans questions. It was a very strange hour or 2, but here are some of the best recaps from the event.

There were many more interactions such as a couple with Archie Comics and Deus Ex, but there are too many to link here. If you want to see more check out the official Sonic Twitter and have a good laugh or 2. The last thing the duo left us with was a small tease of what they’re planning at the 25th Anniversary SDCC party at The House of Blues on July 22.

The Game Awards Return This December, This Time In VR!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: E3 is finally almost here (and hopefully with it more The Last Guardian news), but Geoff Keighley and company are already looking to the future, as Keighley revealed today that The Game Awards will return, this time airing everywhere on December 1st.

Banners for the (fantastic) event are showing up at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Just like last year, you’ll have the ability to stream the show onto essentially any web-connected gaming device, and this year they’ve decided to add an exciting, burgeoning new platform: VR.

Man I wish I could afford some VR equipment.

Also, we sure hope that Kojima gets to attend this year. Are you a fan of The Game Awards? What has been your Game of the Year thus far? Sound out below!

The Game Awards Are Today!! Here’s What You Need to Know.

The best night for video games are just around the corner!

To help you prepare for The Game Awards, I’ve compiled this short, but informative Q&A to help you understand what they’re all about.

Q: What are The Game Awards?

A: The Game awards are an award show for the video game industry. Originally started in 2003 on Spike TV, The VGA’S were created to ‘celebrate’ video games, although it wasn’t really entertaining or PC. In fact, it was downright cringey and aggravating at some points (Madden 04 game of the year? Seriously?) After re-branding and once again failing to deliver an entertaining experience in 2013, Spike officially cancelled the yearly show, but former awards producer Geoff Keighly took it upon himself to create a brand new awards show. This time, it would be a real respectful celebration of all things video game.

Q: Is there anything else besides just awards?

A: Yes. Not only do you get to see some of your favorite video games get the recognition they deserve, but there are always special surprises sprinkled throughout it. This year, there will be 10 World Premieres for Brand new games and first look gameplay at previously announced titles. There are also special musical performances including some this year by Deadmau5 and CHVRCHES.  There is also an industry icon of the year award where an important person or group of people are celebrated for shaping a part of gaming.

Q: Where can I watch this?

A: Almost anywhere online! While you won’t be able to watch this on TV, you can easily go to http://thegameawards.com/  to watch, on top of that you’ll also be able to catch it on game sites such as IGN, and you’ll even be able to leisurely watch it from the comfort of your Xbox One, PS4, and even Wii U. Streams start at 6:00 PM PST with a pre show at 5:30, so don’t miss out!
