Congrats to all the winners! Your writing puts me to such shame that it makes me want to quit putting pen to paper altogether. Keep it up!

Congrats to all of the winners. You earned it.

Well done everyone! :)

Well done everyone. Pete's Bayonetta IF article still makes me laugh histerically everytime I read it. Glad you folks thought the same. :)

Alex Martin

Well, I think we all deserve medals. But especially those names listed above. Good job, winners!

Alex, your medal is in the mail. (Disregard the "4th place Grade School 1/2 mile race" ribbon.)

A hearty thank you, and a much-deserved congratulations to all winners and nominees!

Richard Moss

Thank you to everyone who voted for me, congrats to all the winners, and a huge thanks to all the people reading, writing, editing, commenting, or otherwise contributing to making Bitmob such a fantastic platform for interesting and engaging writing about video games.

Brett Bates

All of these -- heck, all of the nominees -- are fantastically written articles, and they show just how much value there is in this little endeavor we call Bitmob. Congrats, everyone!

Also, I'd just like to point out that I promoted seven of these articles. I am clearly the editor with the best taste. =)

Ryan Perez

Clearly, Brett deserves the award for "Best use of time while not at the water cooler."

Congrats to the winners! There was a lot of quality content on Bitmob last year, and I truly wish I could have voted for everyone who was (or wasn't) nominated. Give yourself a pat on the back, you deserve it!
