If the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say this was their finest hour.

We stand for Queen, Country and Video Games, BRB, UK, Worst Teeth, Better Accents.

Hello! R.B. UK. Worst teeth. Better accents. Hello and welcome to episode 222 of the Big Red Barrel UK podcast. I am Coleman. Hi. And your ears do not deceive you.

Not only am I not, Dan, but this is a podcast that is up early. Why is it up early? Because we're going to put two podcasts out this week, because Tim spent 20 minutes talking about developed VR last week. God help me if he's going to do it again this week. So we've got to get a lot of stuff out the way, and I'm talking about VGA's Video Game Awards and the PlayStation experience. So the people that are going to be helping me this week because we got no Tim because he's at Tabletop Tuesday and we got no Dan because he plays destiny on every day that isn't a Thursday. So first of all, we've got Kev from the Barrelcast. I can see on the Discord chat that we use that last week you asked Tim where he was and an hour and a half later, Dan's next message says,

end of showtime, please.

And we've also got Mr. Deamed.

Hello there.

Oh, Mr. Deamette, Mr. Scammer, really, isn't?

Well, yeah.

Either one works.

It identifies me.

People know who you're talking about when you say it, so it works.

Gentlemen, how were the VGAs and the PSXs in your worlds?

I actually didn't watch the VGAs.

But I did watch all of the memes that came out afterwards,

so I think I got the entire experience, really.

You've seen about the giant hench razor.

Yes, and also Jeff Keely having a wobbly over Hideo Kojima.

Yeah, I didn't watch the show itself.

I just went in for all the trailers and the results afterwards.

Yeah, I think I watched the stream, and by that, I mean, I pressed play on it,

and then I fast-forwarded through all the parts that weren't trailers. I did enjoy Jim Quisitions, at James Sterling's Jimquisition on the VGA's this week, where to counter at the whatever the hell the razor-bled-headed, muscular thing is, he came up with his own corporate sponsor, the Cornflake homunculus, and it's just him with, like, cellophane around his face, with cornflakes, spitting out corn flakes with a box of cornflakes on his hand, just screaming and roaring. I'm quite like that. All right, so I'll quickly burn through some of the results, not all of them, because God help me, there's so many. But anyway, so some of the bigger things in there. Best Game Direction went to Blizzard Entertainment. Not surprising, because the success of Overwatch this year. Best International game, sorry, independent game has been inside. Best mobile handheld game has been Pokemon Go. Best VR game, Res Infinite. That surprised me. There's a lot of good VR games this year.
