Which game should win a BAFTA? You get to decide.
I predict either Minecraft or Skyrim will take it, but who knows.

And on the subject of LEGO, N.B. please, the comments in the aforementioned article are entirely right, the plural of LEGO is absoutely not "Legos", no matter what an American might try to tell you. I can't stress this enough.
"If the LEGO trademark is used at all, it should always be used as an adjective, not as a noun. For example, say "MODELS BUILT OF LEGO BRICKS". Never say "MODELS BUILT OF LEGOs."

"Today I'd like to show why the practice of paying for dates on sites like Match.com and eHarmony is fundamentally broken, and broken in ways that most people don't realize."

...but then they got bought by Match.com. Was it embarrassing? Is it more embarrassing to take it down and have people notice? In other news, Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
