I actually thought it was the audience who acted poorly during the VGA's. Even if most of the jokes were lame you gotta laugh... Seriously, the audience is as much a part of the show as the host when it comes to something like that. Imagine going to a comedy club where nobody laughed or going to a panel at PAX where nobody asked a single question. These things require the audience to participate!

Not everybody likes the Elder Scrolls and I'm completely fine with that.

Or maybe he just found the teaser trailer confusing and mind boggling?

In fact: didn't we all? Apart from my excitement. I probably had the same look on me when I first watched the thing, like: what the hell was that all about!?!!?

I thought his reaction was pretty nice. :shrug:
What did you expect him to do? He had to move on with the show, and he wasn't especially excited about the other games either (probably because he knew everything already).

IMO I thought it was actually a joke, to me he said it in a joking-manner, as a host he would know better than to say or imply a game/trailer svcks. Also I am pretty sure people do not boo or show displeasure when he says that, they give a little laugh now that I think back to it.

Dammit! That link wasted half an hour of my time.

If you click on a TVTropes link you just have to resist creating more tabs.

I am aware.

He would get far more girls than most men.

Your edit didn't make that statement any better.

I mean, give the Doogster a break. He was probably gizzacked on some magic beans, just waiting for the segment to end so he could run train on whatever booth babes they had. Also, TV Tropes has become a burial ground for obscure anime references that .000001% of people outside of the internet are aware of.

Lol maybe not. Still wouldn't call a gay dude a god amongst men tho. Just my opinion tho.

If anyone here is gay more power to ya.

Does anyone have a video?

rob halford of judas preist

VERY OPENLY GAY but still a man god just saying

Would you like a shovel? To dig a deeper hole....

Maybe he was hoping for a subtler campaign?

Yes because someone who's never played TES before has to be super excited about a quick teaster trailer!!!!1111111

Also, NPH is amazing, that is all.

what does his sixual preferences have to do with anything, if he wasnt a actor we wouldnt know his sixual preference and would have no trouble saying that, so us knowing it still shouldnt affect his godhood or non deity status, god cant believe Im wasting time writing on this post lol.

... I thought it was painstakingly clear: Neil Patrick Harris was having an AWFUL time as the host.

You couldn't see that? The WHOLE show he was struggling to get his confidence up and show enthusiasm. I have no idea if he's an avid gamer or not, but he CLEARLY did not come across as one in the VGA Awards. Further, his acting was terrible and his ability to read lines and follow his script were severely impaired. Harris was WAY off of his game. So don't blame him for his bad performance just because of his reaction to The Elder Scrolls V - he probably doesn't even know what the game is, and if he does, he was likely forced to follow a certain, very awful, script.

Don't you remember when Dominic was reading the introduction to that racing game later in the show and he had to read those terrible jokes, and NOBODY laughed? He actually had to say "I'm just reading off of lines here." It was THAT awkward.

When an awards show starts with a clear 2 second sound delay following Neil's slaying of the Broadway dancers with AK-47s, you KNOW it's going to be bad. Spike TV probably spent so much money bringing in big names that they likely didn't have enough to spend on decent writers and choreographers.

Edit: P.S. - Harris IS a God among men. He went from being Doogie Howser to Barney Stinson, playing roles like himself as a straight crazy dude in "Harold and Kumar" and as Dr. Horrible in a famous viral miniseries. It doesn't matter that he's gay - in fact, him being gay probably makes him even more of a God, because he can be open about something that raises the bigots against him and he can STILL be Awesome.

Do not disgrace Harris' good name. He deserves to be where he's at in the world.

:P Yeah, Don't forget Starship Troopers.

It doesnt matter if he likes TES, or if he's even played it. Still awesome.

What's this someone wasn't excited about Skyrim?

Nail him to the cross! /sarcasm

People get way to excited over this stuff

It's a video game people get a grip :nope:

....what did you say?!??! O.O

just a game?

Touche sir!

Aren't award shows bs anyway? When you get an award, you need to pretend you didn't know already, that you hadn't rehearsed your lines and your emotion. The announcers pretend to connect with the audience, while the developers funnel more reasons why you need to give them your money and build dreams in false-realities.

:huh:



hmy:



:stare:

You said it, not me...but I'll agree with it.



:clap: :clap: :clap:

And the 2010 "I Have a Grip" award goes to....jjleon_2
