Community Kudos


So yeah. Automatic comments, eh? How about that? Welcome to Community Kudos!

This week has been all about the implementation of the insta-comments and the impact it’s had on TAY…

Nay – the world.

Thanks Stamperrific – truly I laughed out loud.

In addition, it appears as though we may have to change the work calender in order to accommodate these new changes.

Awesome job as ever Lamboman007.

Just a few comments from me on the new system – please don’t be afraid of using the report button. No one will think you’re a prude, or a killjoy. One of the main reason we’ve built up such an amazing community of great folks here is that comments have been moderated in the past! I really want to maintain this amazing community and make sure everything is as awesome as it is right now – so I’m relying on you guys to make sure any trolls get their just desserts!

Anyway – onto the Kudos.

First, a personal one – both myself, Seamus and Elly would like to thank Sughly for delivering once more. I have actually used this pic as my Facebook and Twitter profile pic, as has Seamus!

And on that note – I’d like to say goodbye to Seamus, who had his last day at Allure yesterday. Thanks for everything, and good luck!

This week has seen so many Kudos noms I literally couldn’t keep up. For the first time in Community Kudos history I had to take notes!

Literally.

– First noms are dual noms – both Andrew Burdusel and Batguy nominated each other for the cool game swap they did. Both games ended up having defaced covers!

Andrew did this to Resident Evil Mercenaries…

And Batguy made the usually scarily difficult Demon’s Souls a little more approachable!

– We had a nomination for Endu, from Welbot, who wanted to make sure that his nomination from last week (which I forgot about) made it through this week! Apparently you’ve been quite helpful with some computer stuff!

– We also got multiple nominations for Ben and Tad for implementing the auto-magical comments – but they get money in exchange for said services, so they can bugger off. Congratulations on doing your job you slovenly slobs!

(Seriously, thank you so much!)

– We had a couple of nominations for Anonymous Pessimist – mainly for being funny and his constant use of the KROGAN HEADBUTT.

– Klutar nominated himself for being “sexified”.

– Both The Cracks and Lamboman007 got noms for their hi-larious work in taking the royal piss out of the new comments system.

– We had nominations for the report button! Well deserved! What a guy!

– We also had a nomination for Josephine the Kotaku Delivery Turtle who (yes AP, very funny!) Believe it or not, Josephine has actually just gone on her merry way with a bundle of the Community Kudos backlog!

The winner this week, however, is Jo for the part he played in this heartwarming tale…

NONEoftheABOVE had quite the difficult time getting his copy of Crysis 2 from EA, after winning a competition that happened absolutely ages ago, back in the Goose era. After some back and forth between myself, EA and NONEoftheABOVE, he eventually got his prize…

But on the PC.

Not having a PC powerful enough to play, he was at a loss. After having waited so long, NONEoftheABOVE was distraught to find out he couldn’t play, until Jo offered to send his copy of the game to NONEoftheABOVE for free!

So, this week’s winner is… Jo!

Congratulations!

Incredibly NONEoftheABOVE got a nomination for giving his copy of Crysis 2 away!

This community… you guys! Amazing!

Thanks again for another week of the best job in the world! Have a great weekend!
