On December first, The Game Awards ceremony hosted by Geoff Keighley, will be live-steaming to all screens!
It's a fantastic show that awards all the overworked people in the gaming industry.
This includes the artists, the composers, the writers, and all the actors that go completely unnoticed at other award ceremonies.
For any and all gamers out there, please be sure to tune in and show your support.
If you live in the greater LA area, tickets are still available here
