NCsoft wants to poke fun at traditional awards ceremonies with the Golden Chippies award for the best and brightest of MMO journalists. Set to be handed out at Brighton’s Developers Conference, the Golden Chippies will cover a wide array of categories:
- GM Award for Appearing to Know More than the Developers
- Tank Award for Impenetrable Resolve and Integrity
- Emote Award for Most Eminently Cheery Journalist
- AFK Award for Hardest MMO Journalist to Track Down
- Twink Award for the Strongest Introduction to MMO Journalism
- MMO Journalist of the Year
NCsoft EU PR Director Cat Channon had this to say:
“MMO journalism is a labour of love for those involved. A niche but growing subset of traditional gaming media, these guys really are doing it through devotion to the genre. The Golden Chippies allow us to sing their praises over some classic seaside fare and raise some cash for a good cause in the process.”
Now all I have to do is wait until the Golden Chippies come to America, and for NCsoft to acknowledge my existence.
