Some issues with how the awards were presented
Indie games getting shafted
Mass Effect gameplay trailer
Blizzard and Overwatch win big (and what does Best Game Direction mean?)
Voice acting - Firewatch gets snubbed, Nolan North throws Performance Matters under the bus
With the male dominated list of Trending gamers, 2 things. What do you think should be qualifications for trending gamer and who are some women that you'd nominate based on those ideas? @BrothaDom
With @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN receiving the Industry Icon Award, who would you guys nominate as the first female to receive it? @bloomtoon
What can Geoff Kieghly do to make an event like the Game Awards be taken seriously in the mainstream and not just a marketing event with only a few awards? To me if feels too much like an extension of E3. @mustyhobbit
What new award would you include? Joke answer and serious answer both would rule. @devoted_pupa

PSX (01:32: 30)

What is PSX?
Remakes of PS1 games - Crash Bandicoot, Parappa, Wipeout, Patapon
Destiny - the return of Sparrow racing
The Last of Us 2
Sony’s holiday commercial for PS4 showed lots of content for games coming out in 17. Did PSX do enough to satisfy anxiety someone might have about jumping onboard for a system when the stuff you want to play hasn’t even been released? @alatinolawyer
