Thankfully, Neil Patrick Harris soon shows up and machine guns them all down. He then explains how the audience at home will see something special on the screen thanks to cooperation from major video gaming companies and rendering virtual environments over the stage. Soon, they name the first nominee for the Game of the Year award - Call of Duty: Black Ops.
