Test of Time Award- Half-Life 2

I'm Not Crying, There's Something In My Eye- Bulletstorm

Just 5 More Minutes- Any game I've ever played, ever. Seriously, I don't stop any game unless I get bored of it, it's complete or I'm falling unconscious from sleep deprivation. I guess I'll go with Borderlands 2 since I've spend a ton of time in it. XD

Whoaaaaaaaaaa, Dude!- So... games that impressed me? That's pretty much every game that I really liked (I'm easy to impress like that). I guess I'll go with Darkest Dungeon since it's the freshest one in my memory right now.

Villain Most In Need of a Hug- ... What does this even mean...?! I'll take this one literally and pick Rabi-Ribi. Cuz, hey, all the important characters there are cute girls, so I wouldn't mind giving even the evil(-ish) one a hug. :3

Game Within a Game- Uuuummm... That's a pretty sparse category... GTA: San Andreas had some nice ones.

I Thought This Game Was Cool Before It Won An Award- Either Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes or Orcs Must Die!... not sure which one would fit into this category best to be honest...

Best Use of a Farm Animal- ... Seriously...?! Ok... I guess I could have put Darkest Dungeon here since the Swine (half-pig half-human enemies) are just as cool as the other enemies in the game... but this category is so stupid... So I'll just rip off someone else's answer ad vote Chicken Invaders 4.

“Can't Stop Laughing” Award- Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 V Generation :D

Well, it took a while but I have made finally all nominations. There are still some I'm not content with. I tried to limit it to games from my library which worked quite well with the exception of the “Game Within A Game” category. While I have two or three games which would fit those mini-games they are not good or fun. Also wanted to nominate the Typing of the Dead for the “Whoooaaaaaaa, dude!” category but since the game is banned in Germany I can not visit the store page ..... Well, here are my nominations:

• Test of Time: The Maw
• I'm Not Crying, There's Something In My Eye: To The Moon
• Just 5 More Minutes: One Way Heroics
• Whoooaaaaaaa, dude!: La-Mulana
• Villain Most In Need Of A Hug: Corpse Party: Blood Covered
• Game Within A Game: Day of the Tentacle
• I Thought This Game Was Cool Before It Won An Award: Our Darker Purpose
• Best Use Of A Farm Animal: Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack
• I actually learnt something while playing: Influent

It is a bit annoying that we can't give a reason why we nominate the game because I doubt that Valve will understand every reference. Then again. Why write something if it is not read.
