The Herd of Cats 2008 Pintsie Awards!
You're still here? Did you read it all or just skip to the end? Ahh. Well don't. Go back and read through it all. It's some of our best stuff. Take your time to enjoy it.
And now here is your regularly scheduled conclusion.
Well that is that for the 2008 Pintsie Awards. I expect to hear a lot of discussion about our choices. There was a ton of content to wade through. A ton of good material and a ton of... well... other material. But we worked our way through them and we made our choices. We made them and we stick by them.
Thank you for being part of Herd of Cats first full year. For reading, for posting, for commenting and, yes, even for being banned. It's been a fun ride and we look forward to writing up the The Herd of Cats 2009 Pintsie Awards! Start participating now.

At the time I had no idea there were women on this site especially your wives.
So I apologize for my ignorance and my offensiveness (wow this is actually a word??).
But if you note that since I found that out. I did make valiant effort to be a little more politically correct.
Once again ladies I do apologize...
on another note
I just realized my Avatar is non awarded..
Because it is not you who won the award, but rather your post. Which, by the way, gets a nicer graphic than any of these lame avatars.
I even posted some original content!
Ah well, at least my JCVD thread got some recognition.
And I personally vote for Afu's "Jizz in my pants" and the best video of the year (even though it didn't have anything to do with video games).
Otherwise, great job setting this up admins!
I got mentioned. I'm shocked.
We didn't have original content awards last year, when I actually created original content. Now that I know about the Pintsie, things will have to change.
I just decifered the text on my avatar.
Awwarde.

First off, well done to all who made this happen. Great idea.
Secondly, about my award, excellent! "Mission Accomplished!"
There was no award for most comments posted by a single user?
Eitherway, I will continue to bring you nothing but glorious facts in this new year. I will also try to be less lazy and prove read my stuff before hitting submit, lol.
... Seems to work!
What is this "Proof Read" you speak of?
I am trying to steal Reveks award here.
Is not a comment but another form of content? I would say yes, for what would the content be without a comment. A commentless content? A contentless comment?
If content was posted with no comments, did anybody read it? Sure, you say, there is the read indicator. But that does not mean anybody actually read it.
Therefore, if someone posted a comment to the content, did he not add more content to the site?
Or better yet, when does a comment stop being a comment and becomes a content? Perhaps when it brings something new to the content? Or if it itself has been commented upon, then it becomes content?
I am not a comment! I am a content!
This of course was in response for my comment which was disqualified for original content. Which, sadly, could have won 3 awards: Revek, Content, and I can't remember the other mention.
How come Troll didn't get his avatar edited with his pintsie??
This is DISCRIMINATION!!!
Ok, I'm good with that.
Or reload.
¡Gracias!
¡De nada!
First off - left 4 dead? Comical - COD4 was far and above played more, by more of us.... so COD4 IS the game of the year. L4D = FAIL
Rookie award - While Troll will get my vote , honourable mention to Gray bush??? WTF is that sh#t - Hard00d's been on way more than that old fart... gimme a break..
the panel can step into my office - FIRED.
For the chronologically challenged:
CoD4 is better that Left 4 Dead. Particularly for a game that came out in 2007. Since these are 2008 awards it would seem that, for some reason, CoD4 was disqualified!!!!
Coincidentally, the exact same reason disqualified Hardw00d as a Rookie of the Year as he has been a HoC member for 1 year 15 weeks leaving you out of the running by a mere three months. Better luck in 2007. Oh wait...
Hardw00d can step into my office - FIRED. No Award for you!
for the record though, IGN had it 's release date as April 1 2008 ... but that was for game of the year edition - in the fine print!!!!
and yes I am chronologically challenged! Everyone knows I have a sh$t memory!!!! that's why i had to look it up... :(
n/t
TROLL was around before me so explain that...
He played with us on Live, but wasn't an HoC site member.
Ugly loser.
COD4 was released in 2007, so it doesn't qualify.
Loser.
Did XBox 360 win console of the Year?
No new consoles came out, so it was given to the awesomest console instead.
Left 4 Dead should be Best New Game of the Year. Perhaps not Best Game of the Year.
have some merit.
IS the best game of the year, regardless if it's the newest.
...
er ... you're ugly!
:P
You can both shutttAaaap!
And the co-winers (yes, winers) of the 2009 most Childish Conversation Thread:
Stormblade and HardWOOD
Or would it be Most Unimaginite Conversation Thread
Again. I have a feeling we could make yours a lifetime award.
Someone is jealous :-)
