SUMMARY
– Matt’s new beard was grown because he likes to grow a beard when he puts on weight during christmas to confirm his weight gain. Once he loses the weight, his beard will be lost as well.
Game of the Year
– Winner was Super Mario Galaxy.
– This was the first time that the Nintendo editors did not take part in the discussion – they only submitted their votes. However, they did play all of the contenders.
– Craig and Matt voted for Galaxy, but Bozon voted for Call of Duty 4 because he loves multiplayer FPS.
– Call of Duty 4, Bioshock and Mass Effect were all deserving of winning, though Mass Effect less so due to its technical issues.
– Such an incredible year of gaming that the decision was very hard to make compared to previous years – at least 5 games would have automatically been 2006 GOTY.
– Surprised that Bioshock didn’t win any of the major awards.
CES
– Matt’s one of IGN’s tech-nuts.
– Looked around the Apple and MAC areas as well as TV and projectors.
– There would be lots of worthless Wii accessories – there was a Cooking Mama accessory which changed the controller into a fork, a Zelda sword and shield that blocked the IR, and a Trauma Centre scapel add-on.
– Found it pretty boring – gets worse and worse everywhere, and always bring back old products rather than E3 which bring in new ones.
