If someone reads them, and their name isn't there then they may feel a little disheartened and choose not to post here for a while (you weren't voted for at all then Dan?), and quite frankly they are getting annoying. I really couldn't care less if Dringo thinks he's the nicest person ever - or if Time Warp is the top on his list!

Anwway, on to the Dan2k1 awards...

Yes, I am doing my awards - but not for posters here as I feel it can be demeaning, instead this is for the best games award - seeing as this is a gaming site. Egos down to earth now children, and respect the people who make these classics.

The year 2000 awards for the best games:

Highest selling game: Who Wants to shoot Chri...I mean 'Who wants to be a millionairre?' (closely followed by anything Pokemon or Championship Manager)

Fastest selling game: WWF Smackdown 2. Something like 115,000 in a week is pretty good for the UK!

Best PC game: Deus Ex, followed closely by Grand Prix 3.

Best N64 game: Perfect Dark, followed by Zelda - Majora's Mask.

Best PSX game: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.

Best Dreamcast game: Shenmue (selling a brilliant 113,300 in the UK!)

Most played game (by myself): Crazy Taxi, followed by a long way off by MSR.


Best review written by Dan2K1 (a mon avie): Samba De Amigo!!! (Written on Christmas day perhaps?)

Most original game: Samba De Amigo

Best PlayStation 2 game (although I wasn't here then): SSX

Best football sim: who cares? FIFA/ISS. I niether want to play them, or have owned last year's addition.

Silliest online game: Planet Ring dream dorobo.

Most undersold DC game: Jet Set Radio

WORST GAME OF 2000: DAIKATANA/WWTBAM?

Most underrated game: Dan2K1's 'Guess the length of my reviews' game for all.


Thanks for reading

Dringo,

Position in the top posters chart is immaterial. Nevertheless, it seems to have had an adverse affect on the forum. What's the appeal in being high up? It's the prestige, the recognition. Anybody who repeatedly posts pointless messages to further their climb however, is going to lose face, rather than gain it. Just do what you normally do. If nobody spammed or moaned, we'd have a utopia here ;)

It seems to me that you are all complaining about Dringo

So stop!

I don't like people getting ganged up on so don't do it.

It was a wicked game even though I don't own it. Maybe it did sell fast, but I'm sure it wasn't the highest selling game of the year!

So Top posters isn't provoking the same dishartened feeling.

Although those who are one should be not being a notable tells me that i'm not as important as lets say Grix when previously I thought we are all as good as each other.

I'm annoyed that i'm low down on the top posters area and so now i'm trying extra hard for people to like me.

And all i'm getting is being picked on by er-no complaining i post too much and Dan saying i shouldn't say who i think is the best here.

Quite frankly i don't go around moaning at you guys and if the best you can do is say, stop saying playstation sucks or stop saying er-no writes good stuff because this is democracy and i'll say what I like (but i won't be rude or nasty).

Here's getting fed up of moaning
