The polls for the 2009 Gamesmen Gaming Awards close tonight at 11:59 PM EST, so, if you have not cast you vote already, get to it! I’m seeing most categories still close, but there are a few runaway winners already. My question to you all is, who do you expect to win and in what categories? The tuxedos have arrived and the envelopes are back from the printer and ready to be stuffed with the names of those lucky winners. I’m brimming with excitement already…
As most of you know by listening to the show, we have been playing a literal ass-ton of Uncharted 2′s multiplayer mode as of late. So, that begs the question: what would you all like to see as game nights in 2010? I recently purchased my first Xbox360 game- Burnout Paradise, so get ready for that in the coming weeks. I’d love to see comments on this post regarding where our communal gaming should go!
Only six days remain until Episode 23 of The Gamesmen! Come join us on Ustream.tv for giveaways, game talk, and the results of our “2009 Gamesmen Gaming Awards”!

VIDEO GAMES LIVE RETURNS TO PITTSBURGH WITH A NEW SHOW!
Video Games Live is once again returning to Pittsburgh with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra to perform 2 special shows entitled Video Games Live: Bonus Round!
February 11th and 12th at Heinz Hall (8PM show time).
Back by popular demand with a bunch of brand new content including music from Sonic, Final Fantasy VIII, Halo ODST, StarCraft II, Mega Man, BioShock, Mass Effect, Shadow of the Colossus, Assassin’s Creed II, and more! Also, new in “Bonus Round,” witness the world premiere of a brand-new interactive Guitar Hero segment, new exciting solo performances and live Skype interviews with famous game composers from around the world! Favorites such as Mario, Zelda, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Castlevania and others will also be performed.
The world renowned Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra was established in 1895 and is considered one of the top orchestras in the world today.
Lyfe’s Take: I’d love to get a local group together for a Gamesmen outing to see VGL: Bonus Round! We are planning the cheap seats to keep the cost down($30/ea) which are still great. I am figuring that you all could transfer the funds to my PayPal, then I could purchase a line of seating. Also, a meal afterward with a roundtable podcast recording, perhaps?

It would appear that the middle segment(you know, the good one with all of the Game of the Year nominees in it?) is lying on a cold slab and we are unable to revive it. So, while we mourn it’s loss, bide your time another 24 hours and we’ll re-record and edit just for you. That’s right, YOU.
