We had hundreds of submissions this year and it was soul crushing to condense them to a single list of winners. We try not to stray too much from what the users vote on as the best but we don't want to strictly follow it, either. A big thanks to everyone who contributed! You can view the submissions in the Christmas 2006 collection.
Moving along the contest chain, qualified users have until January 7th to vote on the Best of December!
Dan Paladin is visiting for the next two weeks while we can crunch on Castle Crashers before showing it at Slamdance in Utah on the 19th. To double our Dan's, Dan Malo has come out to visit as well! Malo will be helping us put together prize packs, t-shirts and Wacom tablets over the next two weeks. The 6x11 Wacom tablets are on back-order, so I'm waiting for them to arrive early next week. I'm also still waiting on the new batch of AngryFaic shirts, which should arrive early next week. I have some orders left from December that are waiting to be filled... sorry about that. :(
It's gonna be a BUSY BUSY BUSY BUSY BUSY month of programming and package shipping!
