VG247 nominated for 3 GMAs
VG247′s been put up the three Games Media Awards this year, as reported by MCV.
We’re in the running for Best Games Website, Specialist Writer (Web) and Games Blog.
Apparently “Future Publishing, Eurogamer, VG247, Imagine and Videogamer” got the most nominations this year.
Sincere thanks to all that voted for us. Maybe we’ll actually fucking win one this time.
Get the full list of nominees through the link. The awards take place in London on October 15.

When you say “we’re”, you mean us too, right? Right?

I think Pat should win the “Most hours chained to the keyboard, well above and beyond the call of duty, sponsored by red bull” award.
And a wooden spoon for “crappest lap top battery” naturally

We’re all in this together, as far as I’m concerned.

“The awards take place in London”
Wembley Arena compared by Stephen Fry or above a pub in Camden with Shane Ritchie ?

Personally… Best Games Website is pushing it, as you only do news/interviews pretty much. No reviews etc etc.
However, Specialist Writer (Web) and Games Blog I think you deserve hands down, 100%.
I now use this place more than EG, (except the forum over there).
Well done chaps, hope you win.

If Pat doesn’t win at least two awards here, I’m going to phone the police citing public disorder offences. And probably something to do with the obscenity laws.
Future (apart from OPM which is actually not bad), Imagine and Videogamer are not are not fit to lick the shit off his shoes.
In fact, that comment should be adapted into Pat’s gratious acceptance speech.

Well deserved Pat, as Lutz says, VG247 totally deserves the Games Blog award, it’s a no brainer really.

Thanks Orphanage Explosion. (On a day of sadness I’ll take anything approaching a compliment.) And good luck Pat. Assuming we’re not sulking at home – likely – we’ll be pulling for you innit.

OE – I’ll add all that to the tear-stained 2008 speech I’m currently sticking back together.

I think that this year, you’ve proven this site to be that three steps above Eurogamer.
So, I really hope you win. Hell, you have Steph this year. All those typos make for a unique personality, specific to this site… And IGN.
P.S Is that harsh? Ofcourse all the writers here are better than the fanboys (just unprofessional, not console warz) at IGN.

Congratulations for the nominations pat!
When you go, wear a cape and ask everyone to call you patman so I’ll have an excuse to keep making my patphone joke.

Good work, peoples!!
You know, not bad at all for a site that copies/pastes from Kotaku.
I joke! Any more jobs going? I’m bored with making videogames.

Me. I e-mail you my bank details. A few thousand Euro should be enough.
