It is once again here! I'll never not mention how impressed I am at the explosion in Game Awards popularity. Seriously man, it used to be lame (though I watched it from back in 2017 or 2016 or something) but now it's freaking amazing. Oh, I will say, the orchestra is always my favourite part by the way.
Anyway, will be live (?) blogging all of the impressions of reveals, awards, and sundry below. Let's! Enjoy! Gaming!
