The Last of Us, Mass Effect 3, Command and Conquer, Alan Wake, Bioshock Infinite, Transformers Fall of Cybertron, and Everything You Need to Know About the VGAs

And we cried a little bit every time Felicia Day or Zachary Levi had to perform some humiliating monkey dance, clearly demonstrating how much class we're expected to have as gamers.
