Game within a game: Day of the Tentacle...

I mean, it has a full release game within that game; how can anything top that?

I'm thinking about nominating Left 4 Dead for the Villain Most In Need Of A Hug category. That's pretty much what those zombies want.

This thread helped me to make some of decisions :) I'm curious to see the final result of all this. Hope Valve will include some runners-up as well, not just one winner in each category.

I tried to vote for Painkiller: Black Edition for the "Villain in need of a Hug" award but there is no option to vote for it. After all who needs a hug more then Satan??

I also noticed that instead of a "Play Now" button on the store page, it reads "Use Now" yet still brings up the install option when clicked.

"Villain Most In Need Of A Hug" is dumb. I mean, what if a game has various villains? Are we nominating games or villains?

Garbage ... don't care for arbitrary nominations - did it for the badge.

For me, The "Villain Most In Need Of A Hug" Award is for GLaDOS.

I'm really not that hateful, but...

"Best Use Of A Farm Animal" Award: Plague Inc Evolved.
