Grats Mr. WormGod

[Dumke]

Only reason I knew this happed was because I saw on my company's news site. So I searched around the net si I could post the actual info which they didnt have on thier website this morning. After further seaching I found it on there this afternoon tho :D

So let me be the first to congradulate you. I guess I need to go check out your shamless thread out now in its entirety and go pick the game up. So my question is which system would be best 360/PS3? Mind you I know graphics wise one is more capable than the other but all around online or offline play? Or I just could post this on that thread instead of jacking my own thread LOL.. anywasy Grats bro.

Bethesda Softworks' epic post-apocalyptic open-world adventure, Fallout 3, received the Game of the Year Award at the 9th annual Game Developers Choice Awards, presented at a ceremony this evening the 2009 Game Developers Conference. Bethesda also received the Best Writing award for the game.

Media Molecule's imaginative user creation-centric platform game LittleBigPlanet, which was first unveiled at GDC 2007, was the recipient of the most awards of the evening, taking four awards for Best Game Design, Best Technology, Best Debut Game and Innovation Award.

Other winners at the Tim Schafer-hosted event included Ubisoft's hauntingly beautiful update of the Prince of Persia franchise, which won the prize for Best Visual Arts, and Ready at Dawn's portable action-adventure, God of War: Chains of Olympus, winner of the Best Handheld Game award.

Sorry this was from myc ompany's website and cant find the whole post linked some where else.

Bethesda Softworks' "Fallout 3" seized the evening's top prize. The post-apocalyptic shooter, which is set in the ruins of Washington, D.C., blasted fellow nominees "LittleBigPlanet," Valve Software's "Left 4 Dead," Lionhead Studios' "Fable II" and Rockstar Games' "Grand Theft Auto IV" to win game of the year. "Fallout 3" was also awarded the best writing trophy.

"I was a nerd growing up in South Boston," said "Fallout 3" lead writer Emil Pagliarulo during his acceptance speech. "To all the nerds growing up in South Boston, don't play hockey. Don't join Little League. Stay in your room, read your Lloyd Alexander and play 'Dungeons and Dragons.' It all works out in the end."

My wife and I are not gamers (by any stretch), but when we saw a commercial for Fallout 3 the other day, we were stunned by how amazing it looked! I don't know video games, but I knew I'd never seen anything like that before! I of course mentioned that one of our VX brethren was involved it it...

Congratulations Wormgod!

[WormGod]

Ya, big surprise to us too. Feels good. Kinda like the Oscars of the game development world. :cool:

Thanks guys. Doesn't mean work has died down of course, heh.

EDIT: (sorry, had to run to a meeting).... Really doesnt matter what platform you play it on. I personally prefer the 360 version because I can sit my lazy arse on the couch with my feet up on the coffee table, controller in hand. Each platform has it's advantages though. I will try to break it down like this:

360:
coffee table/couch comfort
looks and sounds as good as your tv and receiver will allow
downloadable content available

PS3:
coffee table/couch comfort
looks and sounds as good as your tv and receiver will allow

PC:
(comfort levels fail here)
looks and sounds as good as your computer hardware will allow (looks AWESOME on mine with my 30" monitor at 2560x1600!!!)
downloadable content available
fanbased mods available (HUGE perk!)
free official mod tools available for download to make your own mod packs

MAC:
hold your breath :p

Ha, no word on Vegas. Obsidian is doing that and I am 110% hands off, unless they email with art questions. I am working on a new "unannounced" title at the moment. ;)

Congratulations on all your hard work.
