escapist won the webby

[tk1989]

Gamespots community base is absolutely massive. I knew we were going to lose the peoples choice as because even though they are a much worse website they are much larger and have been around for yonks.

The fact that we won the actual Webby however in my mind is a much bigger win; it wasn't because one website had a larger community or not, it was because this website is actually better.

Maybe maybe not but always remember, Life is like an Oreo you can dip it in your milk and eat it but you can't feed it to your dog

GAMESPOT?!?! Alright, how many people did they bribe to get that one voted through: seriously, that site is awful!.

The only thing i do on that now is look through old DS games to see which one i can illegaly download ilegally. (illegality is fun)

Ahh, but do not 2 illegalities make a legality?

Now read my last post (don't ask)

We didn't win the voting one though, we won the other one for being an awesome website... not even like pizza vouchers? I'm hungry and the kitchen is so far away to make a sandwich.

I hope that sandwich is toasted....

OT: I'm glad that we got the properly judged one. I voted for the peoples choice one, but I had no illusions. The ability to get large amounts of immature idiots to do something should never be underestimated.

Think of gamespot as that blue light at night, that attracts all the annoying bugs. It lets us sit on our back porch and enjoy a nice glass of wine while we have meaningful conversations and arguments

Spoiler

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WE WON THE WEBBY, WE ARE AWESOME.

I'm sure that's what everyone meant.

The actual Webby means alot more than the Peoples Choice. As everyone else has pointed out votes can easily be rigged. I mean Gamespot were offering badges and experience points for voting for them, plus their user base is quite a bit larger, meaning theres many more users to vote in their favour.

This site deserves it way more though, the news, articles and videos are much more entertaining here despite it overall being slightly smaller than Gamespot.

Eitherway congratulations everyone!

Awesome song that, I commend your taste in music, good sir

no, no they do not.

But three illegalities make a good lawsuit!

Right, that does it, I warned you (no I didn't). Prepare to get sued!

Excellent! The site won the meaningful award!

 

[DeadAccountMoveAlong]

I used to be suscribed to Gamespot. Then Kane and Lynch was released.
Jeff Gerstmann, nevar forget.

Ahh well, at least we won the Webby, if not the people's voice (ie, the one judged properly, not by an internet poll), and I'm taking that as the true victory.

Sadly gamespot has a larger fanbase than escapist, still of all the sites out there at least we won a webby, oh well, theres always next year

Hurray for the escapist, too bad it couldnt pull off the peoples choise. I say leave gamespot to the masses, we all know the escapist is better anyway.

QFT I mean 4chan is huge and that doesnt mean its good

 

[Liverandbacon]

Do we get anything for making this happen? Sure it's not the peoples choice webby, but what is a website without the loyal community?

If you're asking that, you didn't vote for the right reason. The reward is being part of the community.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Kinda upsetting that we didn't get the one we voted for
Well, count you're blessings I guess.

 

[Lullabye]

woo...hoo?
can we get a recount?

 

[Ophiuchus]

Well, a Webby is better than no Webby, even if it's not necessarily the one we were all voting for.

So... well-deserved congratulations!
