Tom is god here, we obey every command he says

I loved the game of effin worms, can´t wait for the sequel

[test-object]

One COULD make the argument that SexualLobster made an original character that makes parodies.

It's true... Maybe he should have won... He's been sweeping 2012!

[LDAF]

But how "official" can those friendships really be if there's no public friend list, HMMMMMMMMMMM? Unless I'm a moron and I'm missing it. Anyhow, congrats to the winners!

[LiquidFire]

Awesome winners!

nah it would not feel right, i think the distinction between pop culture and folklore is a fair one.

thanks everyone who voted for parody x3!

[SpeedoSausage]

lol while I didn't make it in the top 5 (and I can see why, they deserve those spots!) I'm grateful I made it TWICE on the runner up list! man, I've been making way too much junk heh

[Viper50]

Congrats to the winners.
Though I am saddened that Hood Episode 4 didn't make it into the Top 5....#6 is still pretty good.

Also hoping either Abobo, Dust, or SkullGirls wins for Game Of The Year.

[XwaynecoltX]

Been playing lots of random and fun games, very nifty ones at that.

[Mockery]

Thanks for mentioning Abobo's Big Adventure on Destructoid! It's an honor having our flash game just listed on there considering all the other huge multi-million dollar games that are on their Game of the Year list. Feels really good to see it on a list like that after being in development for the past 10 years :) Thanks again and good luck to all the games on there!

You guys deserve all the recognition and more. The game was just proof that you don't always need a big budget studio to churn out something with excellent gameplay and can be enjoyed by all.

weird for a user named psychopath to come out a winner today.

The Walking Dead won but Abobo was the third most voted submission, that's really impressive IMO. :)

Yeah but look at the shitty games we were up against:

Mass Effect 3
Journey
Dishonored
Xenoblade Chronicles
Halo 4
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Far Cry 3
Persona 4 Golden

What the fuck is a Halo? Is that some kind of Christian Bible game? Sounds shitty! Good think we beat it.
