bimmy always puts up a dynamite write up to start the contests every week (sometimes even bimmy poetry!) so I always feel like I need to keep his efforts going at the end of the week that he started.

Community writers icons are not given out very often here on NA and are a big honor for anyone who fancies themself a writer - but I'm beyond thrilled to even be nominated.

Besides, so much usually happens during the week that everyone basically writes the stories themselves.

Holy cow!

I feel like a real writer!
The Santa Weekly News Updates are officially award winning journalism now!

The only people awarded that icon are the few that have written for the ezine and the even fewer that have written important community driven pieces that help Nintendoage. It's a HUGE honor. 

Thank you to everyone.

Congratulations, Santa!  I seriously love the weekly news updates and I always look forward to reading them on Saturday nights after work.  I'm glad my humorous intros (or at least I think they are, hehe) have been an inspiration toward your writing and I hope they continue to help fuel that inspiration.  I really wanted to do something for Donkey Kong Jr, but I was bone dry out of ideas last week.  I'm going to ave to come up with some bimmy poetry here in the coming weeks   You definitely put a lot of thought and effort into the updates and your knack for writing shines every single week.  Keep up the awesome work and I think I speak for everyone that we look forward to even more weekly updates in the future.

Congrats Santa on your award! I'm honored to be just a small part of it this week.

On that note I'm kinda relieved to have placed 15th this week, hahaha! I think I did pretty well for only one try. Some really impressive DKJR scores here!

Yes Santa thanks for your fun, informative and entertaining news updates. It gives those of us mediocre gamers something to look forward to in contrast to our continuously declining ranks on the leaderboard
