Missy Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks, DW! And I'll add their names to the list, Kellen. MaGrath: Go back a post or two and you'll see the ballot James posted. Copy that into an e-mail, fill it out, then mail it to the address he listed in the same post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Thanks to DW, I've updated the list of reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Throw in my review of Phonogram: The Singles Club as well (25th June) if that's ok Mike. It's what kicked off my contributing to the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Alright, let's see what I can help with on my end. Don't vote for the Parasyte review. Wasn't good. Sort of thrown together and I know Hannah worked a ton more on her stuff. IIWY stuff, I guess my standouts would be the WWE Heroes and Joe the Barbarian reviews. Game reviews, my best were Assassin's Creed and Bayonetta, probably. Best Extra Lives episode? I'd say 7 (TGS and Hot Drinks) and 9 (the birth of the banana joke). Also want to point out the two pre-official audio Tirades (Murder-Set-Pieces and DOA). The Saw episode has to be in there somewhere. Honestly, I wish I'd written more last year, but I like to think I made up for it in podcast stuff. Now that I have those figured out, writing is going to be a much bigger priority for me this year.

James D. Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Shit, I forgot another important rule. You cannot vote for your own individual work. However, if you collaborated with another person or persons, then that's okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I'm currently starting my re-read of this year's IIWY reviews both to kill some time and to do the proper prep work for the nominations. It's tough to acknowledge what's gone into each review, after all a borrow this is inherently going to display less passion and have less material than a fuck this book. Currently the reviews I've shortlisted have tended to strike a balance between hilarious dismantlement and great job of selling a book. I'll post my list of advised reading when it's done. edit- I swear Dub's is showing off with his regularly unconventional reviews. I'm secretly convinced that Mike decides to pick on a reviewer by handing them stuff they'll hate. There's no other reason that Dubs would be asked to review both WWE Heroes 1 & 2. OK, I'm finished, my shortlist of recommended reviews is- Thunderbolts #140 DW 02/02 Siege #2 Sean Lemberg 16/02 Wolverine: Weapon X #10 DW 16/02 Joe The Barbarian #2 DW 03/03 Justice League: Cry for Justice #7 DW 16/03 A-Team: War Stories – Hannibal Desmond Reddick 30/03 WWE Heroes #1 DW 30/03 Marvel Zombies 5 #1 Sean Lemberg WWE Heroes #2 DW 04/05 Shadowhawk #1 Desmond Reddick 25/05 The Expendables #1 Hannah Krueger 01/06 Nemesis #2 22/06 Sean Lemberg Fantastic Four #579 Preston Nelson 08/06 Ultimate X #3 Preston Nelson 29/06 Thunderbolts #145 Hannah Kreuger 06/07 Superman #702 Michael David Sims 24/08 Scarlet #2 Sean Lemberg 14/09 Thunderbolts #148 Sean Lemberg 28/09 Apologies if I’ve left out anyone’s personal favourite or a review that someone put a lot of work into, this is just a cherry picked few based on a quick look back through the whole year. Props go out to everyone who contributed, especially Sean who reviewed an intimidating number of books in the last 12 months and did so with well-written consistency and intelligence. It was also intensely amusing to see how varied opinions were regarding the Thunderbolts this year, ranging from fuck this book to buy it. Personally I just thought it was ok.

James D. Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Just wanted to update everyone so you all don't think this has been forgotten. I am close to finishing the counting of the ballots. The reason I've stopped for the moment is because I'm working tirelessly on my WFP retrospective column to make sure I get that done by the end of this week. I should have the ballots completely counted by the week of WFP #100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
