Woodling Gameblogging Award Nominees 2019
Dec. 1st, 2019 01:30 pmIt's that time of year again! (With a dash of "Aaaa is it that time of year again already, what do you mean this entire post is due today" as usual.)
Game Year 2019 is officially closed; anything we play, complete or abandon, or otherwise write up starting now counts toward the 2020 awards. The 2019 field is set, and... things feel a bit mixed? I feel like the pickings among some categories might be a bit lean, while others have some of the strongest and greatest competition yet, worthy of contesting even among the previous years' winners.
2019 by the numbers: 26 complete, 7 abandoned, 2 ongoing, for a total of 34 game reports in 2019. (Bugs and Kisses was dual-classified as Complete/Abandoned.) This puts 2019 with slightly more gaming activity than 2017, but significantly less than 2018. Still, anything that gets me to write 34 mini-articles in a year has to be considered a success. I know 2019 itself hit our clanmates pretty hard, such that we're the only ones left still doing this this year, but we're still having a good time with it.
Speaking of which, because we both had a blast doing this last year, Sara and I will resume our co-hosting roles. As always, some of these we agree on, others we'll split our votes, some we have no idea what we're going to pick and others are a foregone conclusion that we're just trying not to spoil in this post. Speculation and predictions are welcome and highly encouraged--who knows, you might even change our mind if you make a good enough case.
( Onward to the nominees, then! )
