- I welcome the update, Mas, as I remain on four votes. Four votes, going into the final two days.
Is it reasonable for me to worry now?  They'll be coming soon, hmm I was thinking we'd get around 10 votes. |

| Me too... although I can see exactly where each of the other five would have to come from, and think we may have to stick with nine unless NintenDuck or someone makes a surprise entrance. Cheers, Zero!  |

| They are, thanking you! Incidentally, I had in my head a six-person minimum, below which I would cancel the results. We've exceeded that now, so - yay!  |

| Very much looking forward to the results! Is there a timetable, Sir Balla? As a teacher, I do like a good timetable.  |

| There is, but it's still under construction, and may vary in a (feeble?) attempt to drum up some tension near the end.
Thanks for dem votes Drunka! And then there were seven.
Last day of voting. |

That's good as the 10 I was thinking of part from yourself Balla was Cappa, Muss, Zero, Drunka, Jim, Jas, Andy, Jay and Myself. I know some of them weren't keen on more votes but hopefully, they all know how important this is to you and they all get some votes in. Edit I totally forgot about Smurf, he surely would get in on the action. |

| I didn't want to name names because nobody should feel pressured to vote, especially not people such as Jas who've firmly said that they don't like voting threads and their voting is conditional. The one exception is Andy, because I took part in his vote.  That said, any and all votes welcome in addition to the eight (thanks EofGiz!) that I now have. Double figures would be grand. SIX HOURS REMAINING 🌝 |

| That is, strictly speaking, a wrap. Less strictly speaking, I won't get the awards out until later tonight, and if you want to whang in a vote before 6 or so I should be able to get it in.
Nine votes total, thanks Andy! |

| I meant to send mine in last night but fell asleep so if you're taking late submissions I can have them on your desk by the end of the day. |

| Sounds grand! As long as it’s not too late, reasonably I have to type up a couple of games tonight so any time much after 6 and I’m going to start sweating. |

| THE ONE YEAR OF THE SWITCH ANNIVERSARY SPECTACULAR GNAMER VOTING THREAD The Nintendo Gamecube Award for Tenth Place - Let's-a Go!:
Rocket League(19 points, 4 voters, 0 firsts) ( Rocket League also wins the Best Game Where You Can Put Antlers On Your Car Award.)  Trailer: That's lovely, singing lady, but I'm afraid I'm happily taken... please stop now... Music: Wait, it has music? Er, this one then I guess. Sums up the game fairly well. Video of Choice: Top plays from the recent season of Rocket League eSports. Which are a thing. Metacritic Nintendo Life Review: Excellent. - You Said:
"Football with rocket cars, but more fun than even that sounds. I'm not even that scared of playing online."
"‘Where’s the ball?’ ‘I’m upside down!’ ‘What’s going on?’ ‘I TOUCHED IT!’ Common comments from an average game. (Match?) I don’t know if it’d be as fun with people who knew what they were doing."
"Squeezed down into the Switch with stunning results. As approachable and ever-lasting as ever, and even more welcoming and appealing on Switch. It’s ageless fun. Rocket League isn’t just the best arcade football game ever, but, probably, one of the best realised ideas for any game, ever."
"Such a simple concept but tuned to perfection, has that "one more match" feeling every time you play in victory and defeat."
- I Said:
The awards start with a bang! Or a burst of balloons, dragons, or popcorn... (If you like lootboxes.) I've barely played this game, in all honesty, yet I already know it's one of the best multiplayer games out there. It shouldn't work for nerds like m'self, football and cars not exactly being things we love - but it does, and brilliantly. A worth start to our top ten.
- They Said:
Celebrity Guest Jeremy Clarkson "Driving a Rocket League car is like your first time having sex. You don't know what you're doing, it's going too fast, before you know it you're staring at the ceiling, it's over in under five minutes, and was it worth it? F**k yes. It's better fun than when I drove over those German peasants, and I had a lot of fun that day. Government got all upset, bunch of nanny-state [REDACTED]. "Anyway, Rocket League. Those cars are better than a V8 Holden with three naked women inside. Right, I'm bored, I fancy a steak, let's try these loot crates... What!? Another f**king decal!?" (punches cameraman)
Coming up tomorrow - number 9 and the top Switch multiplayer games!

| As per the trailer music... O-O-O-O-O-OKAY! Good start to the list. This didn't chart for me in my top 10, but I'm not arguing with its inclusion.  |

| And that’s why we get Balla in to do these things.  Another one who didn’t vote for The Tenth Game, but I do fancy that I only have myself to blame for that because I haven’t played it enough.  |

| "Ageless fun", and sixth on my list. I was *ecstatic* when it was shown right at the start of last year's E3 Direct, and it'll be evergreen. |

| I regret my purchase of RL on Switch. I enjoyed it on PS4 but it felt like such a downgrade here that I've never felt the urge to return. Little disappointing to see this here instead of something that has benefited from being on Switch rather than suffered. |

| Couldn't disagree more, still managed to put at least 40 hours in on the Switch version and despite a slight visual downgrade it feels just as good as the PS4 version, this is coming from someone who is going between the 2 versions on a regular basis. |
