You guys! Tonight’s the night! As part of the Game Developer’s Choice Awards, the 13th Annual Independent Games Festival award show goes down this evening at 9:30 PM EST (6:30 PST), and our very own Anthony Carboni is hosting it. And I have it on very good authority that he’s going to destroy everyone and everything. So, yeah, handle that.
For the two of you who couldn’t afford the $2,100 All-Access GDC pass this year (pfft, losers), the entire awards show will be streaming live courtesy of GameSpot.com. According to GameSpot’s schedule, the Game Developer’s Choice Awards themselves begin at 9:30 pm EST, with the IGF portion of the evening beginning at 10:30 PM EST. So feel free to tune in at either time, depending on your propensity to enjoy mainstream games. Basically, the important-est part is that you tune in for the IGF awards, because trust me, they’re gonna be the best thing you see AT LEAST all Wednesday night.
If you don’t believe me (and really, why should you?), Monaco creator Andy Schatz is currently tweeting from the rehearsals, and according to him, Anthony is “delicious.” See? It’s gonna be great. So watch it.
The stream shall be viewable from this location, so that’s where you need to head once the festivities begin. Enjoy!

poor anthony is getting hated on by 14 year olds on gamespot :(
Please tell me someone recorded Anthony, i missed it and i really wanted to see him shine~
Thats the only thing i wanted to see, after seeing Black Ops getting GOTY, i could care less about the rest of the show.
I recorded the entire stream. I’ll try to compress it down for web and get it up for you guys unless GameSpot is able to put up the whole show after it’s over.
Thank you Jon. Was otherwise occupied at the time. Thank you.
Tried to watch but the constant rebuffering after every other word made it entirely impossible to watch and I gave up after twenty minutes and seven browser refreshes. Would happily watch a recording that’s not livestreamed with the implicit intent to break my computer.
Yeah, the buffering was AGONIZING, but I suffered through it. It might have totally been a placebo effect, but pausing and unpausing seemed to help.
At any rate, I know they put last year’s recording up on GameSpot after the livestream, so hopefully we have that to look forward to!
I agree that the buffering was nauseating, but if you didn’t get a chance to catch it at all, I screen capped the entire show in 7 segments on my youtube page at Youtube.com/JRivera0312. Of course, the buffering’s in there but what can you do.
That was great. Tho what was up with team meat accosting the Monaco guy at the end? Did he ask for them to be up there?
Best joke of the evening? “Half a text book.” Yup.
HOLY SHIT YOU MET NOTCH! JESUS YOU ARE THE MOTHERFUCKING FIST OF THE NORTH STAR! OH GOD… *cough* CAN’T… CAN’T *cough* BREATH! *faints*
Wow that was awesome Anthony!
Thanks for the upload Jon.
Too bad a lot of nominees and winners aren’t released yet…
