Sorry for the wait on this, just woke up.

I nominate UNDERTALE because you only have an hour or so of it.

Any chance we can get people to vote which route you take? INB4 Sapphos Genocide Run

[GentlemanRaptor]

Also, and I feel really dumb for asking this, but what exactly is the significance of the award being named "Owes Me a New Keyboard"?

My understanding was "So funny I spilled my drink on my keyboard," but I could be wrong.

[Sappho]

"Owes me a new keyboard" means it was so unexpectedly funny that I spit my drink out all over my keyboard and ruined it. Not literally true in this case, but still, very funny.

A warning if Undertale gets chosen: I definitely will NOT play the whole game. I have not gotten very far in it at all, again because I don't have the time to sit down and get immersed, and I keep getting killed at what to me is a very tricky battle though I'm sure it's not intended to be. I would do a video of me playing for maybe half an hour, tops - it's all I have time for, honestly. I don't know if it would be a great one to do because I've already started it, but am not nearly far enough to understand the story. It's my first time going through and my goal is not to kill anything, so I wouldn't let you guys vote on how I play, sorry. If you really want to nominate it, of course you may, but just be aware of those factors - and if you want to change your choice, BFEL, you can still do that. It might be a better pick next year or something, when I (hopefully) have already finished and we can play with it more openly. But the choice is ultimately yours!

Also, this should go without saying, but just to be sure: NO SPOILERS FOR THE LOVE OF ARMOK. I do intend to finish the game eventually and I do NOT want it spoiled!!!

Spoiler: Spoilers! :3 (click to show/hide)

This is text in a spoiler tag. This is usually used to hide information or tempt those who thirst for information via written text. The text usually gives information that most people do not know yet, and most probably will affect their experience if read or known beforehand.
This is the reason the spoiler tag button seems much like a radioactive hazard symbol. It is very...dangerous.

^spoiler tags!

Hmm...the only person who nominated twice before the new rule was JimboM12, though I think it's more the wording of the time, since I'm unsure if he's pushing all his 3 votes into that one nomination there.

Spoiler: More spoilers! (click to show/hide)

I'm not feeling particularly vengeful, and I did just play this through once and enjoy it, so I nominate Consortium.

I'm gonna double up on Consortium, I heard it was a little mind-bendy but good and I bought it and never played it, so getting someone to actually try it for me for longer then 30 minutes might make me wanna play it.

Therefore I nominate Space Hack:

I'm not feeling particularly vengeful, and I did just play this through once and enjoy it, so I nominate Consortium.

I actually nominate FarSky, on the basis that it looks like Stranded 2 on the ocean floor.

I'm for nominating Sir, You Are Being Hunted because it's got gentleman robots with monocles if I'm remembering right.

I am going with OneWayHeroics.

I'll nominate Goat Simulator.

I nominate UNDERTALE because you only have an hour or so of it.

8 nice entrants, with an honored mention already voting!
Wait...
penguinofhonor is the only one who didn't nominate yet. Go for it dude! I hope she's ok.

[penguinofhonor]

I see you have Starseed Pilgrim and I'd always love to get it more publicity but it looks like you've played it pretty thoroughly. So I nominate FEZ! It is one of my other favorite games.

[Sappho]

Oh, hold on a sec, I fear I may not have been clear with the description of the phases, here, I've just realized.

The following people each get to nominate one game for voting (each has done so already, but I'd like to wait a little longer to see if BFEL wants to change his vote from Undertale given the circumstances):
GentlemanRaptor (nominated Consortium)
Choppy (nominated One Way Heroics)
penguinofhonor (nominated Fez)
BFEL (currently has nominated Undertale, but I'm giving him a chance to change since I'm not in an ideal situation to give a good video or review of that one)
MetalSlimeHunt (nominated FarSky)
Sheb (nominated Goat Simulator)
Krevsin (nominated Space Hack)
Darkmere (nominated Sir, You Are Being Hunted)

As I said, I'm going to wait a bit longer to make sure everyone is happy with their choices. Until I finalize them, the voting will not start and anyone is free to change their mind. I expect to finalize it later today (keeping in mind I'm in Europe, GMT +1).

By the way, penguinofhonor, I did play Starseed Pilgrim for a while ages ago, but I haven't touched it in a long time and there's still a long way to go in it, so if you would prefer to switch, you are welcome to. I played very little of Fez so I'd start that one over and do it from the beginning.

Once more I will make it clear that I am not going to play any of the games through to the end. I'll shoot for about half an hour of gameplay footage, narrated as I play.

Once all nominations are finalized, I will open up the voting. Everyone who participated and wrote all their reviews (ie is not in the Hall of Shame) gets a vote, and anyone who won a prize or an honorable mention gets three votes. You can put all your votes in one game or spread them across several as you please.

Once all votes are in, I will make videos of me playing the top three choices.

So if you aren't a winner nominating a game, please hold your votes for now. Otherwise you'll confuse me, and just because something is easy to do doesn't mean you should do it.

[BFEL]

No changes! If nothing else you should be given the opportunity to play more Undertale. It's a rather excellent game in every sense.

Though it IS regrettable you can only put 30 minutes in. Not sure how far that'll get you, though I personally don't see it as a very long game (at least insofar as each "run" is concerned) I also never really timed how long it takes to get places.

I have an idea of who you're having trouble with, but don't want to say her name since you don't want things spoiled. Er...does it start with a "U"? If so that ones the trickiest for pacifist, and I'll help you out if you want.

[Sappho]

No, I got past that part, though it took me two tries. I'm stuck at a couple of canines. I know *how* to beat them, I just can't do it without getting killed along the way because apparently I suck at the dodging minigame.

In any case, the choices have been made and voting is now open! Everyone who is not in the Hall of Shame may vote for one game. Anyone who won an award or an honorable mention gets three votes which you can put all towards one game or split them up, as you choose. Anyone still in the Hall of Shame may still submit their reviews and get their vote. Once all the votes are in, the top THREE choices will be played by me and I'll make videos of them all. In the event of a tie, the award winners and honorable mentions will be responsible for breaking it in a manner to be determined later, if that actually happens.

The nominees are:

Consortium
Notes: I got this for free recently but haven't even looked at it.

One Way Heroics
Notes: I played this one quite a bit when I first got it, but never got very far, nor was I very good at it.

Fez
Notes: I played this one a bit, but if chosen I would start over, as I don't remember at all what I was doing or where I've already been.

Undertale
Notes: As stated earlier, I have started this one but am not that far into it. If chosen, I will continue from where I left off and play for about half an hour (more if I can manage but I can't promise). NO ONE IS TO SPOIL ANYTHING FOR ME.

FarSky
Notes: Got this in a bundle and never looked at it.

Goat Simulator
Notes: I have played this one extensively and gotten most of the achievements for the base game. I have GoatZ but I never did much with it because it turns out you can actually DIE in that, and when I play Goat Simulator, it's usually because I want to be an immortal goat who flies through the air at his leisure. If chosen, I will allow you guys to suggest what I should do in the game.

Space Hack
Notes: Another bundle acquisition that I never played.

Sir, You Are Being Hunted
Notes: I installed this one and got all ready to play it and make videos of it, then just never found the time. Eventually uninstalled it to make space on my hard drive.

That's all from me for now. Cast your votes, everyone! I'll keep track on paper (you should SEE the piece of paper I have all the notes for this giveaway on - it's almost a work of modern art).

[Krevsin]

1 vote for Space Hack, for that diablo clone goodness

1 vote for Sir, You Are Being Hunted because reasons that should be fairly obvious

1 vote for Consortium for the unique charm that game has to my mind.

[Persus13]

I will also vote for Sir, You are Being Hunted, because it sounds interesting.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

3 votes for FarSky.

[Darkmere]

2 Votes for Sir, You Are Being Hunted, and
1 Vote for Space Hack, because it's maddeningly mediocre.

[GentlemanRaptor]

I'll actually drop all my 3 on Consortium, because I really want to watch a fresh playthrough of it. If it wins, make sure you avoid all spoilers - its so much better going in blind.

[ventuswings]

I will drop my vote to Consortium, in honour of ongoing Consortium Tower kickstarter
