Come hell, high water, or an absolutely lackluster year for new titles, nothing can stop the
McLeodGaming Video Game Awards 2016
You know the rules by now:
- One category will be voted on per day, unless things get hectic by the end.
- You can vote in each category once. Please try not to cheat.
- If there's a tie, we hold a tiebreaker the next day.
- If nobody votes on a category, the award goes to Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location.
- We're still taking nominations for Best Boss, Best Shooter, and Game Of The Year.
And now, the first award of the show: same as last year, it's the
Best Character of 2016For that special someone who stole hearts, minds, and the show.
Rashid - Street Fighter VRashid doesn't care what people think. He's fighting strangers on the street for fun and scanning power levels to fill his connection. Plus he's got a
pretty bangin' theme song.
Huey - Paper Mario: Color SplashThe shining white knight of Prism Island, who risked his paint trying to save them all. The only sane one here. Trapped in a mediocre game.
Heaven Ascension DIO - Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of HeavenPart 3 was stupidly overrated compared to 4 or 7, but that didn't stop people from loving Dio so much that the new Jojo game gave him a new form, as that kid on the playground who makes up excuses for why your laser blasts don't work on him.
Junkrat - OverwatchFor the people who feel the need to live vicariously through a flame-tipped pyromaniac pirate, because they're too s*** to hijack a truck and blow up a scrapyard themselves.
Xanadu - King of Fighters XIVI had no idea who this person was until I looked up a reference picture for this post, and already I can see why he was nominated. I don't disagree.
The Voice - FuriThe greatest cyberpunk furry to ever use a samurai to break out of furry prison. He's genuinely an interesting character once you listen to his story, and you will, because
Furi loves to make you walk straight lines doing nothing but listen.
Durke - Phoenix Wright: Spirit of JusticeI can't really say much about this guy, because I haven't played the new game, but he looks pretty cool and I bet he was involved in some great court cases. That said, the first words in his wiki entry are "Durke Sahdmahdi was", so I've probably already spoiled too much.
Circus Baby - Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister LocationThat's right, I went and nominated a fnaf character. She's got a fleshed out personality and backstory, a real first for the series, so fight me.
Q - Zero Time DilemmaI don't know a damn thing about this kid, I just thought it was dumb that nobody from the new Zero Escape was nominated.
