Community Kudos

My plan this week was to give Community Kudos to Bub and Bob, the heroes of Bubble Bobble, because they are AWESOME.

Also, they’re well past due some kudos, and I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise!

There, that was easy. Or so I thought. Then the nominations started to come in.

@D.C went the multi-noms route:

@sughly and @freezespreston: For being a damn good guys and awesome pals.

@strange: For inviting us over to her place on her own birthday and cooking for us. So damn awesome. She’s got cooking skills to pay the bills.

@greenius: For gifting me stuff on Steam, even if I refused to accept it. I appreciate the thought more than you know, my friend.

@coldcamV: This guy seems awesome and he’s having a tough week. Welcome aboard TAY, my friend.

@shane: SUPANOVA. NOVEMBER.

Likewise, @Strange had multiple choices

@finaldelirium did something awesome last week so I wrote down their name. But I’ve forgotten what it was that they did. 😛
Secondly, @ambroseiv has returned to us so I’d like to nominate him for not being dead.
And last but not least @effluvium-boy because he’s my hero.

But like the Highlander, there can be only one. Or two in this case, because there’s both Bub AND Bob, you see.

Then more noms came in…

@Steve-O-The-Deve-O
Weresmurf has done a few giveaways that I’ve seen. I nom him for general awesomeness.

Well, OK, general awesomeness is by very definition awesome, but has Weresmurf ever blown cute bubbles for the trapping of monsters? I think not!

Then this:

@Kermitron At the time of year when Steam is practically giving away games, weresmurf has upped the ante and is literally giving away games in contests of skill, in a bid to entertain the masses and provide some simple joy to the lucky recipients.

I believe that the Kudos spirit is strong with weresmurf, and award him one point.

and this…

@benny I wish to nom @weresmurf! OMG this guy. He’s been giving away games all week – I even scored one. He clearly has way too much time on his hands, makes me wish I had more. God dammit, Weresmurf, it’s supposed to be Shameless Gaming Month! All in all, he’s one of the good ones. 

And this…

@GingerChris I nominate Weresmurf for keeping us all entertained with awesome competitions.

Also – Sughly for awesome taste in music 🙂

Is Weresmurf available in both blue and green? (Well, Blue, being a smurf, I guess is assumed). I’m still not convinced, mind you.

Then this came in

@hugo_the_hungarian_barbarian

A great and glorious responsibility lay in the selection of community kudos, thus I, Hugo the Hungarian Barbarian, doth now wish to bestow upon you the results of many a sleepless night of pondering, calculating, raiding and pillaging.
Verily, it is therefore with profound and nigh on incandescent wisdom I now declare the chosen one is;

Meh, give it to Weresmurf, he seems pretty cool, what with all those Steam gifts and stuff.

Alright, alright. I can take a hint.

@weresmurf, step up to the podium and accept your Kudos. Don’t spend it all in one place, you hear?

Mind you, if @weresmurf turns out to be Baron Von Blubba in disguise, I’m going to be mighty peeved.

But on that note, I’ll hand the golden key of Kotakutude(tm) over to Junglist. All yours, sir…
