if Half-Life 2 doesn't win Game Of The Year, this whole thing is a piece of shit.

GTA: SA was good, but no where near GOTY.

[Guest Mr McFarlane]

If Halo 2 wins game of the year,

I'm raping Spike TV.

[Big Tuna]

Halo 2 better win game of the year

Edited out my whole set of picks, mostly because no one cares.

I don't care about the video games tonight (even though I don't have as much time anymore) but if I watch it, the only thing I'll be watching it for is Motley Crue.

Oh yeah, the shit-tastic Motley Crue returns tonight.

Is this enough to stop Tristy from watching the show? Tune in later to find out!
