| 1:10.0 | The Game Awards, they have come, and they have gone. And that's why we're doing it a day late. It's actually kind of nice to be a Friday, actually. Oh, look, you got your cameras all. Oh, hey, hey. Just so you guys know, we got an ISO 400. ISO, yeah. 5.6. Oh, that's funny. I might have to turn you off for a sec, David. Go ahead, turn me off. I'll keep talking.

George the Man, give me your overall top line review of the game awards. |
| 1:45.9 | Overall top line review, I actually like Jeff Keely. |
