It is with great honor that I humbly accept the Labor of Love Award for this article!
I worked extraordinarily hard on it and to be recognized for my work is just incredible!
This article is really my life’s work in a way. Every article I’ve ever written for Hard Drive was preparing me for this one. That the voters chose this article for this award really means the world to me.
There’s so many people I want to thank. First of all I want to thank my parents, they’ve never believed in me or my dream to be funny for money but they put up with me anyway. Perhaps now they will be proud.
I also want to thank all the various other Matts who write for Hard Drive for forcing me to really bring my A game to get noticed by our overlords.
Most importantly I want to thank Tom Cruise for inspiring me to always give 110% in everything I do. I know you’re reading this Tom and I hope you know I love you and your movies. Now that I’m an award winner I hope you’ll consider me to write your next project.
To everyone who voted for this article just know that I wrote it for you. You are the spark that gives way to my flame, you are the wings beneath my wind, you are the light on the dark side of me. To everyone who voted for something stupid like Red Dead Redemption 2 I hope you know that I’m not mad, just disappointed.
I pledge to continue writing articles just like this one. Not because I have to but because I want the continued admiration that this Labor of Love Award has granted me. Thank you gamers and thank you reformed orthodox rabbi Bill Clinton!
