As some of you may know, each year since 4 years ago, Doomworld posts the annual Cacowards, giving out 'trophies' to the best (or worst) wads of each year. There are 10 Best of 2008 trophies, and one went to CQ3!!!

And it richly deserves it! Go Chex Quest!
Yippe! ^^
Good Job Chukker!
:o
... :o

I never would have guessed that a Chex Quest game would win WAD of the Year... If the Doomworld guys love the game, then Chuck must have done something right! ;D Well done Chukker, well done.
Yay. Yay. Yay. .yaY
Yay.
Yay.
Yay.
Yay.
Yay.
CQ 3 deserved this.
Yay.
Yay.
Yay.
I am sorry Slime, I am not sure I heard you. XD
ChexQuest 3 FTW!
Chex Quest 3 deserved it. I mean seriously, Chex Quest 3 revamped the Chex Quest series in a big way.
I'm starting to wonder if the Chex Quest series has a future once again. Maybe even sparking a Next Gen sequel.
Well, done Chucker! :)
I'm not to happy on how they insulted it in the first sentence though. :-\
Wow doom world the biggest doom site on the face of the earth gives chex quest 3 a award nice chukker did a great job.
Indeed Chex Quest 3 deserves this award. This is probably the greatest award Chex Quest has recieved in modern times other than being in the top 5 greatest official doom mods of all time.

Well there's Violation Flemoid in the works.
I'm glad to hear the Doomworld folks appreciated Chex 3. All of you should give yourselves a hand as well for playtesting, offering suggestions and finding bugs. Those contributions helped make Chex 3 a more professional and polished mod, which was pointed out in their review.

If you'll read the beginning of the second paragraph, it will become blazingly obvious that the insults in the first secton was merely sarcasm, or setting up an "inverted proof," so to speak. ;) I don't think they meant any of that.
Hats of to the original Chex Quest team and Charles Jacobi for a fine sequel/modern port! I do wonder why they credited Charles Jacobi as
the original creator, though. He was one of the original creators, and was the lead artist, but there was a team of developers, as well as those that originally came up with the idea. United Federation of Cereals is also mistakenly called "United Nations of Cereals." :D

If you'll actually read the FIRST paragraph, and I mean READ it, it will become blazingly obvious that it was pretty literal. They didn't insult the wad. They posed a valid point, that Chex Quest was good against all odds, despite being a cash-grabbing bid by a cereal company.

Well, that's kind of what I meant, but... your version makes more sense. :D
Yes... but you guys know I'm not as smart as you, and that I'm extremely gullible!

Chex Quest 3 still has a few holes, like some missing music and maybe some other stuff, so we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves. ;) However, the idea of a Chex Quest 4
does sound appetizing. >:D
Yay CQ3!
However, the first paragraph almost makes no sense when you take the story that they wanted a game for advertising and only used the Doom engine when they discovered that making a game from scratch would take very long.
On that story note, I wonder how Chex Quest would have looked in 1996 Macromedia Director...XD
For once doom world say some thing nice about chex quest!

Making a First Person Shooter still counts as "Cashing in on the Doom Craze". It was a publicity stunt to boost sales (and it did).
But it totally rocked. The advertising wasn't even intrusive. Digital Cafe handled a terrible idea and made a brilliant, unique game.
Unlike some other cerealbox/giveaway games I've recieved...><

Exactly. That was the point of the first paragraph. The best thing that EVER came in a cereal box. EVER.

Better than the cereal itself? XD
I never really liked EATING Chex...XD
the chex food is BLAAAAA.
Why the heck would you wanna eat your allies anyways? :D
EDIT: I forgot why I posted here. XD
The Cacowards...wow, there's some good stuff on there, at least I know what I should play next time I want some DooM!
i am afraid I know nothing of somthing called a "cacoward" in the doom games or chex quest... I am unfamilar with this term... I even looked online and nothing...
Its a Doomworld? award that goes to some of the best/worst wads in the community. Its almost like the Academy Awards or something like it. Chex Quest 3 won one for being a good game.
ah i see, i thought it may have been somthing in doom to stop cacodemons from attacking u...
