Happy (upcoming) new year! I'd like to thank each and every one of you for another awesome year at Negative World. It's been a lot of work to keep things moving smoothly, but when you have the best userbase in the world, it makes the work so very worthwhile. GOTY Voting now open Here at Negative World, every member gets a say in our GOTY awards. This year we have 10 categories to vote on. The voting will close soon after the new year, and you don't want to miss it, do you? So get on over and vote. (Must be logged in to view.) Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen (SNES) game club Do you like strategy games? How about the band Queen? Better yet, do you like FUN? Why not join us for our Ogre Battle game club? You can pick this SNES gem up on the Wii Virtual Console for just $8 and play / discuss along with us. Starting January 6th, 2013. Take a look here for more details. REVIEW-A-THON 2012 Yep, the review competition is still going (although it is almost over!) Want a chance to win a free downloadable game of your choice? Well, you better hurry up and write a review for us! Details are here and while you are at it, check out our latest reviews! Wii U user IDs The Wii U is a thing now, and you want some friends to hang out with on Miiverse and play against online, right? If you're a member of Negative World, why not add some of us as friends? You can find our user ID list here. (Must be logged in to view.) End of year Donation Drive In years past, Negative World has battled to break even. To be honest, that is not really the case anymore, as the new (hopefully not intrusive) ads are covering the hosting / etc. costs now. STILL... a lot of (unpaid) work goes into maintaining this site and adding new features, so if you are in the giving mood, why not donate a couple of dollars? Everything helps! Everything else I think that about wraps it up. Together we can make 2013 the best year yet! Let's do this! Regards, Zero (Site Owner / Developer) NegativeWorld.Org | on Facebook | on Twitter PS.
