I'm at the end of my vacation from work, and my vacation from reality (AKA, too much Skyrim), so I'm actually doing my weekly update this week. Sorry about that madness a few weeks ago where I just kinda didn't exist. So... What exactly happened this week? Anything important?

 

THAT'S RIGHT! MEMBER OF THE YEAR AWARD SHOW!

 

Live Stream (Well, it was live. Now it's just on youtube)

 

Results

 

Thanks again to everyone who voted, and especially to everyone who participated, whether it was via skype or in the Twitch chatroom. It was great to have everybody there!

 

I'ma go on to the weeklies now.

 

Member of the Week

 

 

Stars

Do you guys know what Stars did for us last week (well, really over the course of a month or so)? He made a pretty neat RPG Maker game to help present the Member of the Year awards. Why is this great? Because without it, I probably would have just presented the awards in the most boring way possible: by just saying them. With it, our award show was filled with cheesy, inconsistent voice acting, the community's lack of trust in my ability to win battles (by constantly reminding me to save), and ridiculous, unpracticed and embarrasing singing. All of those things were made possibly by Stars' awesome contribution to our MOTY award show. Thanks, Stars!

 

Game of the Week

Lasting Dreams

Hey dudes, The Infinite is looking people to help test a project of his from back in the old RM2k3 days. Like some back in the day, The Infinite liked to use RM2k3 to make games outside of the top down JRPG style. Lasting Dreams is a side scrolling action adventure style game that reminds me a lot of Zelda 2: Adventure of Link. You find different weapons and items, and make your way through various environments. It's pretty neat, and your feedback is needed!

So, we're very untrusting, because "Probably everybody" is the number one result. Nice :) So, Stars, did you keep track of this? How many people did actually vote for themselves?

6 out of 20, although one member apologized alongside their vote, two people voted themselves least likely to win any other award (three if you count BottomGuy's write-in for that one), and one was an obvious choice for Rookie of the Year. =p

[Monkeydog]

Voted for themselves for everything or just one or two categories? 

[Stars]

At most, a couple people voted for themselves in all the categories that they were nominated for. Nobody did it for every single category.

[Monkeydog]

ah, I thought that is what the question was asking. That was Hyperlisk's annual tradition.

[Stars]

I remember this well. =p He voted normally this year though.

[legacyme3]

I think I voted normally, as in not for myself, but truth be told, I honestly forget.

[Stars]

Actually, I take it back. Somebody did vote for themself in every category, but they edited their votes before the deadline. =p

Thank you for not outing me. I appreciate it. :)
