2008 saw a lot of highs and lows in the realms of movies and video games. Records were broken, hype was built and classics were born. But besides The Dark Knight there were a lot of other cool things too. Robots fell in love, brothers were Super Smashed and Metal Gear’s convoluted plot lines were unraveled (and still left some confused). And then there’s The Love Guru! Being the fan of movies and games that I am, I thought why not give my thoughts on the cream of the crop of 2008. I may not be the most technical individual, so the “awards” won’t include too many of the categories that you may be used to seeing, I simply like to celebrate movies and games as a whole. And of course I like to celebrate the characters that can make people flock to a theater, pick up a controller, or run screaming. Each award will include a short list of runners-up, but don’t think of them as runners-up, as I also recognize their achievements and they could have also won, so they are given the “silver award” status. I will also include a few honorary awards at the end. I So without further rambling, on to business. Let’s start with the movie awards.

This might be the most random thing in your blog to comment on, but there was something in these awards that bugged me. Specifically, the ‘Biggest Video Game Loser’ category. You played Sonic Unleashed, right? If so (and I know you have, you said so in a reply to a comment in your Sonic 4 review), then hopefully you agree that there is a certain character from that game who should have won instead (and his name is spelled C – H – I – P). Seriously, that little freak is one of my least favorite, most annoying character to have EVER shown his stupid face in a video game! Why does the whole world decide to throw all the hate on Sonic characters like Big or Shadow (who are undeserving of said hate IMO), and ignore the real bad characters like Chip?!?! I just had to get that off my chest. I want the rest of the world to hate Chip as much as I do.

Well, this was written back when my blog was more random, so technically, any randomness you provide to it isn’t actually that random at all (I do hope to start getting some of my former randomness back).
Anyway, you’re right to say Chip was indeed a big loser of a character. But I believe at the time I wrote this, I hadn’t quite played Sonic Unleashed yet (it was a procrastination thing).
Nice to know some of my old stuff is getting some attention, even if I myself cringe a little when reading it.
