It's awards season!
There's just something about a snowpocalypse that makes people want to give awards for things. It could also tie into the fact that we're starting a new year and it's fun to review the previous year and award those found worthy. It could also be that I like using the word "snowpocalypse" and am running out of reasons this year. Whatever the reason you wish to believe, they're here! You can now vote for the XBox Live Arcade Awards (Fourth Annual!) and the PlayStation Network Gamers' Choice 2011 Awards (First Annual!) on the console of your choosing. Here are the nominees:

Go no, and flex your democracy. You can vote once a day for the XBox Live Arcade Awards through some time in the near future. They don't seem to say. Like, anywhere. PlayStation voters only get to vote once, so make it count. As a personal aside, I would just like to remind you all that any time you get a chance to vote for a Tim Schafer game (Costume Quest, in this case.) and don't, then you've just let terrorism win. Not saying that the other games aren't fun or are pro-terror. I'm just saying that a vote for Tim Schafer is a vote for freedom.
