Hello everyone and welcome
to the first annual Whitfie Award Blog Post!
The Whitfies (pronounced “whit-fees”) are handed out to the winners of various nonsensical categories. Stuff that was released between August 2011 and August 2012 are eligible for one of my theoretical awards.

FAQ
Q: Why are the awards called the “Whitfies”?
A: Because it’s my blog’s awards and the “Whitfields” sound too much like a terrible CBS sitcoms from the 1950s. “Whitfie” comes from my GMU email address; those bastards were too cheap to afford those last two letters, but it’s grown on me over these last few years.

Q: Why is the award show
now, just a few months after the year’s halfway point?
A: So I can pit
games/films/stuff that normally would never be forced to compete with each
other. Finally a chance for the “The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings” (released
May 2011) and “Deus Ex: Human Revolution” (released August 2012) to compete for
a meaningless award! So many potential flame wars!
Q: What are the categories
and how are they judged?
A: Since only I’m in
charge of the Whitfies, the categories could be anything I want, and they’ll be
judged any way I want. The “Best Box Art” award could go to “Elder Scrolls V:
Skyrim” because I liked how Bethesda released a gimped version of it for the
PS3, just sending forums ablaze with rage. It’s a dictatorship, I do what I
want for whatever reason I want.
Right then, onto the
actual awards:
