The FG Awards 2022

The 5th year of the FG Awards!!

After a year of reconnecting with the real world for all of us, this year has flown by so quickly, but we couldn't end it without having our star awards to round off the year on a high. It was a privileged year too, as we were able to present many of our FG Awards in person at our biggest ever face to face meet up. I really hope you enjoy reading the below piece. A unique place deserves unique rewards to give us all the best memories to hold on to. So let's get into them!

Young FGer of the Year

A person that has had an extremely busy year for himself, studying for A-levels and the hope of getting into one of the most prestigious Universities in the land. However, even alongside this really important life task, he made himself available to help FGers complete raids in Destiny 2, and any support needed to get a Dungeon done he would be there. Not only this but he's now branched out to Dark Souls games, sharing his feedback with all of FG, including creating his very own PPR.

 

Winner - @Venom  - Charlie

FG Noobie of the Year

Since joining in May, he has been an ever present all over FG; contributing in different in multiple topics, sharing new information, posting videos, reviewing new games for us to look at, giving us great joy (and banter) on FIFA nights and equally getting involved throughout the week on other FG gaming nights too. I delight to have around and a real FGer with same core values we all hold to help each other where possible.

 

Winner - @Luseth  - Matt

Guardian Down Award

We had some funny moments this year from people that carried on trying regardless of their epic fails. There are two winners this year as there was no separating them through the amount of  trial and tribulations they've had on Destiny. So much so, this Grandmaster clip epitomises how and why they couldn't be separated. 7th run in, after not getting very far at all, we reach the first turn in the map before the first checkpoint. I get blasted into space and thinking Nick and Kempy would be the saviours, only they could manage to kill themselves in glorious fashion.

 

Winners - @Bluebear  & @Kemp210  - Nick & Kempy

 

 

Archbishop of Banterbury

This guy has had one hell of a ride this year so no wonder we find him most nights randomly in a party with us all and when you least expect it, blasting out the most random expletive you can think of, which usually sends everyone into a laughing frenzy. He's always getting on most week's, especially FG Fridays bringing the jokes of his weekly escapades along with him. For all the hard points in his life over the past 12 months, Bones is a fine example of cracking on and trying to have as much in life as you can.

 

Winner - @slamminbones  - Paul

FG Skills Award

You look good, you feel good. You feel good, you play good. FG's Mr Smooth Operator has been banging out the park across multiple games this year. Whether its ridiculous fancy flicks on FIFA, his slick sniper shots on Warzone, or even Ko'ing 2 gangsters at the same time on GTA. The guy has it all. Not to mention his joke delivery is usually bang on the money. Top props for an absolute top guy. Glad we have him at FG.

 

Winner - @jordie1892  - Jordie

 

 

FG Play of the Game

Keeping the award going from last year's debut at FG, there have been many FG clips that have been simply superb. Kenny's efforts to annihilate everyone in CoD, Leeesh's finishing skills on Elden Ring bosses, yet here we are talking about another top evening of goals from our resident Left Centre Mid for FG, Macca. The clip below is not only one clip but it was an array of some incredibly skillful goals from just one evening with FG. Hopefully the likes of the people above can push more people here to share their clips for everyone else at FG to see.

 

Winner - @Macca89  - Macca

 

 

FG Top Contributor

Tough one to call this year, with J4mes Oxford still delivering tons of info for us, Kenny chipping in with some great variety across FG but someone that just shades it this year is our favourite Canadian, an incredible person that can also double up as batman online when we want him too, and has also started a podcast with Sarah that we're all very proud of to say he is an FGer. Some great reviews and some great info about some games most of us never knew existed. 

 

Winner - @Riff Machine  - Chad

 

FGer of the Year 

Who says you can't win awards more than once? A real toughie as many of you have been fantastic for FG this year. This person has kept many a game night going, and when you need that one extra person, you know he'll be there. He keeps me going, and many other factors in FG tick, including multiple server games and offering his incredible support through his extra talents with art, maths and videos. All in his own spare time. Epitomises what FG is all about and I'm sure he will keep on helping people forever more. Thanks for everything this year, Greebs.

 

Winner - @Greboth - Chris

Hall of Fame

Two amazing people that have been here since the dark ages. They've always been a dynamic duo that's kept plugging away with some of our most senior crew on Destiny and CoD, laughing away and giving things a go even when it may not end up in their favour. And it was great that we were able to meet them at our biggest meet up ever in November to give them their awards. Always available to lend an ear if you ever needed it and give you the straight talking truth even if you didn't know you needed it! Resident FGers for life, thanks for everything Mazz & Gaz.

 

Winners - @mazzer  & @wapntake  - Mazz & Gaz

We're finally done for another year! Phew! Looking back I don't think I'd ever see a year flyby as quick as this one but it certainly has and I hope it has been a great one for you all at FG.

We must keep true to ourselves and keep being around for each other. You all play a fundamental role in why FG is the one place - the best place - on the internet where people can feel loved and know they'll always have a friend here to lean on when they least expect it.

Congratulations to everyone that won! Contact with FG’ers varies but always good to see others being recognised for their contributions and all well deserved.

 

Personally, it was a shock to win the first time and even more this so time as my main aim is to fulfill the quota for cunt of the group 😄 It’s an honour to be awarded in such a way and I now have 2 trophies under my monitor 🥰

 

[slamminbones 1,784]

Congratulations all well deserved.

 

I would love to know who infected me whilst we had the meet as that infection is the cause of me going deaf in my right ear and won't hear properly till the new year 😂

[IRaMPaGe 3,236]

Congratulations to all the winners, very well deserved! 

 

Love reading these every year. 

A special thanks to Lee and FG for making all this possible. 😊

[Teenwolf25 327]

@GazzaGarratti forgot about that GM moment with Nick and Kempy 😂😂😂 Your res in an impossible place…. Nick turns around to find you and backs up into the milk and dies instantly then Kempy’s like “I don’t leave a guardian behind” and goes for your res rather than Nicks and dies too 😂😂😂😂

[Macca89 511]

 giving us great joy

 

Thank you, though I feel like you type this bit out through gritted teeth 😄 

 

But yeah it has been incredibly welcoming here and getting to meet you all quite early on was really good 🙂  It genuinely feels like just a big group of friends (or as you put it Lee a family).

 

 

[Bluebear 336]

Thanks Lee!

That vid never fails to make me crack up. Funny thing is I had actually completely forgotten about it until you reminded me of it at the meet!

[MrBiron 1,453]

I'm still gutted I never win the "FGer who sounds most like Wallace from Wallace and Gromit" award 🤷‍♂️😢
