The votes have been tallied and we are now almost at the end of the XYZZY Awards 2022. One final round of voting remains, however, so that we may find the victors amidst the 36 finalists. So what are you waiting for? Pen and paper?
As always, you’ll need to either create an account (or, you know, login if you already have one), after which… did I mention the voting? Wait, no. Something’s missing. Hmm… ah! Right. Play the games before voting! No really. That’s how the system works, and you don’t want to be messing with the system.
This final round of voting will end on… let’s see… ah, December 28th. Best of luck to all finalists!
