Oh, wow!
That's all very generous of the two of you to say. I'll be sure to let the guys know; they'll be flattered, I'm sure.
This is a great idea, too. Not just in that it's a kind thing to try to bring attention to lesser known games that you've enjoyed, but also in that it helps you to look back and appreciate all of the experiences you've had that year.
I hope you guys make this a continuing tradition. And, thanks very much!
