There could be no other winner. An incredible achievement - and one that, if you've been living under a rock for the past twelve months, you can see here.

Huge congratulations to the individual entrants that made this happen - NBK, Cheeky Devlin, SlayerX, Karl and euan707. The most worthy winner of the night by far, and in my opinion not just the event of the year, but probably GRcade's finest ever moment.

He's a plant, sent to infiltrate your forum and convince you all that Sonic Boom was worth buying. The game was mired with problems for the entire first year of its ridiculously protracted three-year development, and it was at the end of the first year that the plan was hatched. We found the company's most positive person and had him register on a spate of forums. I registered too at around the same time. I was always there, watching, making sure everything was going to plan... but it didn't. You took to him so readily, and he grew to love you in return. I knew he'd never come back to us. Disgusted at the lengths Sega were prepared to go to in order to ensure his return - and similarly disgusted at the amount of testing time they scrapped in order to accommodate their nefarious planning - I left, never to return, either to GRcade or Sega, afraid that a true reveal might threaten jawa's newly-safe position within your community. But now he's the three-times-awarded beating heart of GR, I know you'd never let that happen. I must go now - I hear the angry voice of Jürgen Post somewhere nearby...

2015. What a piece of work you were. A nasty piece of work? Perhaps. A lovely piece of work? At times. A delicious piece of pie? No thanks, I don’t eat gluten - because I’d be glued to the couch and weigh a tonne! You can have that, yeah? You can have that. Not for free, though. For £14.95. I accept PayPal, Indirect Debit, and cash-in-super-human-cyborg-hand.

So where to start? “January”, I hear you bellow. SHUT IT. I’m not doing it by months, as once I got to March I’d be stuck. Remember how we all just sat on our roofs and threw rocks down our local mineshaft that month? Bor-ing. Instead I’ll do it by categories. More engaging for an online audience, according to my friend Timid Pat - he works for Facebook as a travelling salesman / human statue. Always / never on the go, that one.

Politics
This was the year that we re-elected that crumbucket cronie. Then he did that thing with the farm animal. I am, of course, talking about my neighbour Cinnivus retaining his Neighbourhood King crown, and celebrating by cooking up a delicious hog roast for us all. I’ll eat your pork, Cinnivus, but you should know that I don’t like you. In fact, I voted for the other guy, the mysterious Roger L. Eader.

Sport
Football. Tennis. Golf. Rugby. These are just some of the sports that Cinnivus banned on our street during his reign of terror. OK, so I was using a brick instead of a ball for each and every one of those games, and calling Cinnivus’ garden “The RogueLeader Arena”, BUT STILL. Unreasonable.

Entertainment
The dying wish of a close friend (he was 124 years old, you know) should be respected. We all agree on that, right? So why, then, was I banned by a certain neighbourhood monarch from playing Old Jilligers’ skeleton like a xylophone during this year’s talent show? He said it was because it was a competition for the under-10s, but I think it’s because he was jealous of my insane xylophonics.

Worst Neighbourhood King
Cinnivus, without a shadow of a doubt. I don’t care how much money he raises for charity ($9,000,040), or how many orphans he saves from our local mineshaft (213). I mean, the guy can’t even keep a clean garden - it’s covered in bricks and broken glass. Shameful.

Technology
As another year goes by, the technological advancement in the 21st century hurtles on, much like I just hurtled through Cinnivus’ front window. An alarm started blaring and hollering, but I disabled it without even skipping a beat - I did this by severing my real arms and replacing them with super-human cyborg arms (now with Wi-Fi). Let’s see what skeletons are in your closet, Cinnivus - I need him back to practice for next year’s talent show.

So here I sit, typing away at Cinnivus’ pathetic excuse for a computer, leaving crude comments under Flobber’s unboxing videos. I’ve left this address, so he should be here any minute to “trash the bathroom, punch the walls, and burn the fridge”. Cinnivus thought I wouldn’t find his precious crown, but he was wrong. Now it’s sitting proudly on my head. Does that make me the real Neighbourhood King? Yes. Yes it does.

Happy new year, folks. Hope you have a fantastic 2016. I know I will.
