Post an interesting fact about yourself!
2008 misaos
I don't like the idea of there being separate categories for demos and completed games in the Game of the Year section. It pretty just means a double-win for which ever game wins game of the year. Personally, I think it would be better if we just have on all encompassing GAME OF THE YEAR category, demos and completed games included, and then have gold, silver, and bronze medals. Also, I still maintain that things like best protagonist and best villain should be covered under best character design.
Those are just my two cents though. Someone should just put thier foot down and say "this is what its going to be" because we could shape and re-shape the categories for years.

2008 misaos
We wanted to cut down the categories as to standardize the Misaos. These are going to hopefully be the categories that will remain static for years to come.
What are you thinking about right now?
Allow myself to introduce...myself!
Final Fantasy 13 Delayed
Thank the Lord. Hopefully they will retool it so that its not so... what's the word? ...absolutely retarded.
Can Fangames Be Good?
I agree with WIP. If you want to be able to claim authorship of something like a game or a game design, it has to come from your own creativity.
But then again, there is the idea that we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously and if you think it would be fun to do it your way, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't.
Speaking from my own experience, I enjoyed working on a fan game because I had a lot to work with already, and it was actually one of those "retraints provoke creativity" sorts of things. You set your style, inspired by the original, you set your story, inspired by the original, and then you proceed to make the game the way as you esperienced it or you would make it if you had complete control yourself.
A lot of the time it is done out of a misguided fanboyism, but I think that if a fangame were to surpass the original in terms of design and content, then it would just be a great work of homage.
Of course, there is the idea that you are not creating somethign truly unique. You are essentially piggybacking on the creative efforts of others unless you so choose to stand apart from the franchise.
