SPECIAL AWARDS--
The
early-predictor award goes to
Don’tHate, for being the first person (that I know of) to draw a two-piece controller design.
The
shucks-for-you award goes to
Nile Boogie, for having an overall better idea of what the controller would be than both the winner and the person he tied with.
The
losers are winners too award goes to Bill Aurion, for having the worst score: ---3 points.
[edit] Whoops, sorry, this award actually goes to
IceCold., with -3.5 points.
The
beating the system award goes to Stevey, for obvious reasons.
The
Trogdor award goes to Strell.
And, finally, the
ego-stroking award goes to
me: because I deserve an award for predicting, in other threads, that Nintendo would/should opt for a primary button-secondary button setup instead of a traditional 4-button setup. Yeah.
Okay, then. IanSane, if you give me your address, I’ll send a box of frookies to you. Congrats.
