It was a good episode.

As for Gamespy shutting down servers, I recently checked one of my old games which is Battlefront 2 on the PS2 and the Gamespy servers are still up and people still playing on it. So its only a small number of games.

I did watch the VGAs live (my Friday nights are not as exciting as Rob's obviously) and I ended up liking the show a lot more than last year. Like you mentioned, no backstage eating contests, also no host being tea-bagged onstage. However, the ratings continue to decline, so wouldn't it be ironic that this awards ceremony might not be around much longer just as we were all finally getting used to it?

I'll also add my little bit about the Walking Dead game. I love it so far. I'm about halfway through episode two and everything Breakman said is right on. As far as gameplay, I do wish it was a bit more suited for consoles. They just made the right analog stick your mouse, which is fine, but can be a little clunky.

One of my favorite games from a couple of years ago was Heavy Rain and I thought that game did a much better job of taking the mouse out of the equation in what is itself pretty much a point and click game where you have to guide your character to stand in the general area of a point of interest before the button prompts show up without the hassle of aiming a cursor.

Still, I'm very happy Walking Dead won game of the year and I feel like I got it for a huge bargain at $20 from the PSN store on Saturday night.
