14 ballots.
The current top ten is pretty unbelievable. Please keep em coming.

votes and blurbs sent, hate rant to follow.

voted, most of my games aren't on the long list, i'm too fuckin niche for my own good.
oh and i tried Bulletstorm jjusten, i hate you sooooooo much right now

That's sixteen ballots; any of six games could be number one right now based on the next ballot. field is wide open, hop in.

I kept waiting to send mine until my blurbs were done, but fuck it, I'll send it now and complete the blurbs when I complete them. Warning: so far they run from 150-450 words each * 10 games :/

oh and i tried Bulletstorm jjusten, i hate you sooooooo much right now

i assume you hate me because you are having so much fun that you feel guilty about it

oh btw I bought No More Heroes used for the PS3 without noticing that it required owning the Playstation Move accessory, so I also hate you

sent.

2012 was not a year for me+games. Other than LOTR Lego. I played the shit out of LOTR Lego. Can I send in a ballot with just that on it?

fine by me! no limits here.

That's an even twenty and today is the day to get your ballot in. Let me know if you're running late.

I'm running late. Tomorrow at worst though.

JimD, I'll sneak you in.
Everyone else: Last call y'all.

comments till wednesday, right?

yep, i can wait on comments.

I'm running a bit late, should get it in by midnight US Eastern time, though, I think.

cool, keep em coming

Done now, and sent.

man almighty, this is gonna be an odd top twenty.

FROG FRACTIONS!

^__^

please nooooooooooooo

Anybody other than jim still want to get one in? Gonna be a weak showing, but good games.

I would retitle this "last chance to submit to the taint" but I am on iPhone.

I only played three games from 2012 (Walking Dead, Black Ops 2, FIFA 13) so I don't feel right voting. Hope Walking Dead places high tho

ok I'm in.

We all clear? Last call.

okay, we're closed for new ballots. Comments still welcome, working on this now.

i forgot to vote for Walking Dead, but i've only just played the first episode. i'm guessing enough other people will vote hard for it...

yeah, it's pretty great

one more episode to go and then i will join the spoiler thread... yeah, excellent stuff

Just got WD because ppl keep talking about it..... and the inability to invert the y axis is driving me nuts.

^^^^THIS

^^

comments sent!

Closed for comments as well but I would welcome longer (two paragraph or more) pieces on any game that you voted for or assume made the cut or just about the state of gaming. Just mail them to me before February and I'll work them in.

So when is the rollout?

aiming for feb 1.
i'm trying to do this right this time and get it all done in advance so there's no weird month long pauses.
also no youtube embeds so the page will load.

man, this happened?? serves me right for not clicking on ILG enough/having a job or whatever

not that I played any new games in 2012, I don't think.

well i'll give you a buying list soon enough.

gotta spend all that corporate blood money somehow.

I am near completion on this goddamn thing; it's 103 games and it's gonna be 100 pages long. wtf am i doing with my life.
Gonna put this up on ILE for max exposure i guess.
If anyone has any thoughts on any games that they'd like included, essay format or otherwise, get them to me in the next day or so and i'll include. Otherwise I want to walk away from this monster as finished and then just start posting them here over a two week period, ten per day.

ten? yowza!

aiming for five in the morning, five at night. may likely miss a day or two if life intervenes but it's gonna be finished so no major hangups.
finishing links and pictures for the top 37, writing an intro and a few of my own blurbs over the next week and we'll launch Feb 4.
ZS is, i think, on board with original images for the top winners.
this is a nutty list.

can't wait!

Nice!

wish it would've occurred to me to vote for Super Hexagon and help out Mordy's inevitable campaign to have it be #1

plz let it be #1

Dude, why u h8 ILG?

Tempting as it is to write a piece on the state of gaming, I can't think of an angle that won't involve me getting grumpy about -isms again.

Pretty sure Hexagon is going to be top 3.

grumpy is fine
i don't hate ILG! Just looking for broader appeal for something that took me a full work week to make!
you will be surprised by the top ten

it's okay forks, your sell out is approved

thank god
