Congratulations to all the winners and as a humble gamer I thank you for the many hours of entertainment you have given me and my organization and I salute the many talents of all the nominees!!!

WHAT ! - NO BSG .... I call BOYCOTT.

Steve,
First time I've watched a video of yours, and of course that took me to The Dice Lounge. Are you the love child of Bruce Campbell and Maxwell Klinger?

Good video work by the way and nice use of props.

I just want to say that making us wait 7min 37sec before seeing the first babes in bikinis was unnecessary and not at all BELENCED.

I was robbed on that reviewer award.

Robbed, I tell you.

I was robbed on that reviewer award.

Robbed, I tell you.

It was very close. You were in the lead until Barnes came through with that Android review. The fact that Barnes was friends with FFG, out of work and could still put out a review like that was enough for him to slide past you for the win!

But nonetheless your work and Ken's was great this past year!

Waitaminute, I won something and nobody told me?

What do I do now?

A speech is usual - Steve's got it for you, he wrote it last week (not inferring that anything was rigged or that anyone was paid off to not include BSG) .

It's customary for these awards to have a nickname, like the Oscar or the Emmy or the Hugo. I propose we call this award the PeePee (for Platinum Pawn).

The measuring tape and calculator... too funny.

I second this.

Congratulations to everyone who has a PeePee. And to those who Steve almost gave his PeePee to, I wish you better luck next year.

Good god,9 that was hilarious. But there are some unanswered questions:

- Who has to hold their throat to drink wine?
- Why does Ameritrash Man look like a sex offender?
- Where does Weeks get his chicken hats, and does he wear them strictly for comedy purposes?

I felt like I had died at the end, it was kind of like those "stars who died this year" things at the Oscars. Very classy.

Congratulations to everyone who has a PeePee. And to those who Steve almost gave his PeePee to, I wish you better luck next year.

The Pee Pee? How dare you defile the majesty of the Platinum Pawn!!!


Are Mad Dog and Shellheads secret agents working for Derk Solko?

- Who has to hold their throat to drink wine?

My throat was dry from playing "Java"

- Why does Ameritrash Man look like a sex offender?

The Ameritrash man is NOT a sex offender, he is a Sex machine!

- Where does Weeks get his chicken hats, and does he wear them strictly for comedy purposes?

That is a Giorgio Armani Chicken Hat. The complete outfit comes with pleated pants that have a dice pocket instead of a ticket pocket.

I just had all my pants altered to have a "PeePee pocket" so I can carry my PeePee around with me everywhere I go. The other day I demanded a 30% off discount at a local FLGS (how dare they charge full retail price for a game)and when the nebbish store clerk saw my PeePee, he knew immediately who I was. I got the discount, and he asked me for Steve Week's phone number. Sounded like he wanted Weeks to give him a PeePee too.
