Hello Beautiful Patrons!
Turns out on the initial post I forgot to lock it to the paid tiers, so the free members got an unexpected bonus of being able to nominate games for the review ha (though I'm not sure how many actually realized it was unlocked), so the nomination list is bigger than usual. BUT now it's in the hands of the paid patrons to decide which game will be the winner! I'm super curious how this voting process will turn out cuz there are a lot of really interesting nominees (as always, you all have great taste). Also special note that I have removed Dark Souls 2 from the nominees but only because I plan on reviewing Dark Souls 2 after Shmup Slam so you all don't need to use your vote on it.
And in case you're new, what you do is list your name and patreon tier and then what game or games you are voting for. The Gentry get 3 votes, Illuminati 2, and Homies 1. You can also vote for the same game multiple times if you have multiple votes, or you can spread the votes as you see fit :-)
Voting will close and the winner will be announced June 7th!
