Last Monday we highlighted a handful of Life is Strange community members who we thought were brilliant, but we also asked YOU, who you think deserved a special mention for all their hard work in the community this year.

What we didn’t tell you at the time was that we have six Life is Strange vinyls, all signed by Raoul, Michel and Luc from DONTNOD Entertainment and waiting to be sent to a new and loving home.

A small number of these vinyls were created as promotional materials for Life is Strange, though (like the licensed soundtrack) we are unable to sell them commercially. Due to their rarity, we have often struggled with trying to distribute them fairly to those most deserving of them.

Letting you choose your own 2016 Life Is Strange community heroes felt like the fairest way to let you (albeit unknowingly) choose who you think deserves one of these treasures. Nominations came thick and fast, and we were very happy to see that many of you echoed our own thoughts.

From the multitude of nominations across all online communities a few users were repeatedly named and highlighted… Below (in no particular order) are the 6 Life is Strange community heroes of 2016 who will be receiving one of the signed vinyls:

/u/NotSoConcerned from Reddit

“For tireless dedication in posting the Daily Topics and filling them with great questions and links and nods to awesome community content. Updating us on awards and upcoming events. It’s a LOT of work that you do on your own free time and adds so much to the community. THANK YOU!”

Gatsu from Steam (and various other hubs)



“I felt welcomed and at home while talking about the game to him, which only implies how much he as a player understands the game as well as the players who play it. If you own the game, Gatsu is a must in your friendlist.”

Meyerliane, Admin of the Life is Strange Wikia and the unofficial Facebook group



“Honestly do I have to mention Liane Meyer deserves a spot there? Not just for her activity here, but also because she frikking wrote the wikia? :0 And she also helped a lot in organizing the Everyday Heroes contest.”

These heroes have all contributed significantly and have helped shape the Life is Strange community into what it is today, but there are many more users who we would love to have also given a vinyl if only we had more.

Special mentions include the admin and moderator teams of the unofficial LIS Reddit and Discord, the unofficial DONTNOD Entertainment group on VK.com, and @LifeIsStrangeES (Twitter) as well as the Tolma4 Team. Individual nomination highlights include Jeckenn (Steam), Maczime (Reddit & Discord), TomorrowHeart (Author of fanfic Ouroboros), Bosterm (Reddit), Youngechosugar (Artist), Eduard Frolov (Composer), the Not this Time Cosplay group and so many more that this list could go on forever…

While we regrettably don’t have a vinyl for everyone at this time, we hope to be able to do more such initiatives in future to highlight and perhaps reward other heroes! That being said, we’ve noted many who received nominations in their own specific community hubs and will be sending those nominees a Life is Strange mug as seen below.

Thank you to absolutely everyone who is part of the community (even you, reading this now) for a great 2016. Happy holidays!
