I think this is the part where he says “This is a terrible speech”, but I could be wrong. (photo courtesy of dessgeega)

Probably another marriage proposal.

Update: Video! – BMcC (Thanks Jimbob! I can’t get the audio to play, though!)

  • konjak

    Is it just me or do the videos have nothing to do with IGF?

  • PoV

    Pre-show to the choice awards?

    It’s just you!

    The “2007 Game Developers Choice Awards” video includes the _entire_ IGF awards ceremony.

    Now, someone _please_ tell me how to get audio. :'(

  • vitaminNewB

    That was soooo Sweet!!! and teH bomb.

  • freakboy 4345

    Only 1 word comes to my mind: Haircut.

    And somebody PLEASE upload this to Youtube!

    Derek needs to form a Saint Vitus covers band on the side. Only people who are in doom bands are allowed to have hair like that.

  • crackers

    Oh sorry, hair, I meant mop.

  • Xander

    Watching that video I actually thought he was TINY compared to his now-fiance…

    …then I realised he was kneeling ¬.¬

  • Xander

    (Sorry for the double post)

    Also, isn’t it rediculous that Derek admitedd it was a terrible speech when the Aquaria team delivered the best speech of the entire show? The Everyday Shooter guy was funny after his third award… but then I haven’t been all that sure about the Gametap prize anyway.

    From the Introversion blog today:

    “Our congratulations go out to the guys at Bit Blot – they walked away with this years IGF grand prize and $20,000 in prize money for their game Aquaria. Their game does look particularly lovely and I can’t wait to play it.”

    Maaaaan, I envy you guys xD. Congratulations from the deepest of my heart!

    i knew when i heard her voice on the trailer that she’d be a hottie!

    what plugin do you need to play the vid properly? I just installed a fresh K-Lite Codec Pack and it still sucks (looks like after a serious “Posterize” effect, pretty much the same like before KLCP). audio’s ok though.

    help appreciated.
