First of all, I apologise for the lack of updates that I have done since I have been pretty tired when I feel like doing one and work has been busy thus the reason why for my lack of blogs. I will do a video blog this week just going through the past few weeks of my life and what games I've played.

But enough about that, since it is coming towards the end of the year and other people are doing the same thing, I have prepared the nominations for my Best of 2008 Awards, which consists of 22 different categories. There have been a few exclusions this time around from the previous one due to the fact that I played a lack of the ones that are gone. This time round, I won't be uploading them all in one go and have it run on for 2+ hours. Instead, I will have a video up each day starting on a yet undecided date that will feature the winners of a few categories. It will follow the same template I did in my Best of 2007 awards except less rambling hopefully.

So without further ado, here are the nominations for my Best of 2008 awards.

Note: I might change my mind in terms of changing nominations or adding awards so for the time being this is a draft list but will notify you guys when it is finalised.
