Summary of Spike VGA red carpet

Hi everyone! So this video was recorded at home after the Spike VGAs red carpet. The best part of the red carpet was working with friends, seeing old friends and making new ones. We got very close with our neighbors and I spent most of the time learning how to use my new camera.

I understand the VGAs are becoming larger and larger and let’s face it, video games are a big deal. Which is great, except it adds some challenges to coverage on the red carpet. One thing that makes me sad is that this year we had fewer opportunities to interview developers than years past. Yes, I know Hollywood stars are a big deal, but really…I just want to talk to the developers. Maybe next year Spike can create a separate area where we can interview the developers that we’re there to celebrate.

In the end, I had a great time. Huge props to Chastity from Nfamous Gamers for helping me cover the red carpet. Now I’m going to watch the show and catch the announcement of these new games. Come back to GamingAngels all week to see our video interviews! Which announcement did you like the most?
