Editorial Gamebanshee Game of the Year 2012 Awards: Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel Edition

[Excidium]

BTW, the irony between the Codex getting on GameBanshee for its decline while one of the advertisements for the Codex is for a Call of Duty commercial.

lol @ seeing ads

lol @ apparently one can't turn ad-block off for a few seconds

For the record, the reason I had ad-block off for a few minutes was because there were two items I want to allow on my computer but it wouldn't let me. I forgot to turn it back on when I went to the codex.

Well, we're finally reached the bottom. Next year, bros, next year will be glorious

I vaguely remember hearing a similar sentiment about last year.

Care to clarify about what people were optimistically looking forward to about the new year in 2011? I mean besides Crusader Kings 2, I cannot think of many games that people were looking forward to back then. I always thought the feel of this year was that we just had to wait it out so we could have nice things again via Kickstarter.

Where's that Popamoledex photoshop when you need it.

Yeah and we all know how people around here like to suck on that CoD cock.

Or doesn't care that their own website known for criticizing decline is advertising the big proponents of decline or even making profits off of those ads.

[Taluntain]

We don't profit much from ads nobody clicks on, very few pay just for showing. And since the people who block all ads and those who don't click on any constitute the majority here...
