Listmas 2021: Top 5 Lists I'm NOT Doing This Year

 Welcome to Listmas 2021, my experiment to see if I can handle semi-regular updates. I plan on posting one of these every other day, then slowing back down to a couple a month if I have something to say. 


Here's how we do things here. My lists come in two flavors: Top 11 and Multiples of 5. I find Top 11 to be vastly superior to Top 10, the one and only worthwhile contribution Doug Walker ever gave society (told you some of my older posts would age like buttermilk). But sometimes I have far more or far less so I otherwise keep it to Multiples of 5.


Some lists will just be lists from top to bottom with no further explanation. Other times when I have more to say and want to indulge in some dramatic tension, I'll go for a more countdown-oriented model. Some posts will be several lists surrounding a topic and other posts will focus on just one.


Today's list will be a single short countdown: The Top 5 Lists I'm NOT Doing This Year

The Victors for the second round of the Quarter-Final and the last two Elite Four are...























Luna Lovegood

"Don't worry. You're just as sane as I am.













and...











Chronormu

"Hmm...haven't we done this before?"


Match 1 was a flawless victory, with Luna getting 100% of the 8 votes total. Chromie was almost as successful, garnering 7 of the 8 total votes (87%).





So now, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Elite Four of Geekdom Madness 2017

LUNA LOVEGOOD





CHRONORMU




Tomorrow, this Final Four will be whittled down to the Final Two, and after that, There Can Be Only One!

GM17 - TRG: Rough Textures/Bronzed Victors

What an explosive turnout!

The victors for the third round of The Real Game are...






















The Lizard

"You need to hurry...I'm...lossssing control....."





and...







Chronormu

"Hmm....haven't we done this before?"

Chromie got a commanding lead early on and maintained it throughout despite a last-minute influx. This last minute influx however swung the lead away from Candlejack and to The Lizard, squeaking him by as the polls were closing. In the end, both Victors won with 5 votes out of a total of 9 (55%). 9 is the current record total for this year, though we've had much higher numbers in the past.

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Technically they're both scaly, contrary to previous descriptions.

GM17: Lego Genetics/Here Be Dragons Victors

I was getting worried there for a minute.

The Victors for the sixth round of the preliminaries are...






















The Lizard

"You need to hurry...I'm...lossssing control....."







and...










Chronormu

"Hmm....haven't we done this before?"


It took several days for any of you to consider your choices, but in the end the matches turned out equal. Both Victors won their respective matches with a respectable 5 votes out of 7 total (71%).

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!


That'll get nerfed later.

After Over a Month of Nothing, Hey! Post-A-Day!

Yes yes, like I always do after not having anything to say for a month, I try and go for a week of one post per day before going off into obscurity again for a while. So I'm here to announce that.

What I won't have this year is a standard Halloween entry, since due to budget and time concerns I'm just pulling my Vader suit out, and it's like - who hasn't seen that?

I'll also be stepping outside my comfort zone a bit this week, so be prepared.

Lastly, this December I'm bringing back my Listmas thing from my early days, to simply update based on new material and changing opinions.

Watch this space.

I. Am not. PREPARED!....yet....

Remember when I promised a post on the Legion Beta?

Well my computer was dying and too many people were on it so due to unplayable lag I was only able to get to the end of the Demon Hunter starting experience before I had to give up due to nothing loading.

So now that the game is out and I own it, I may as well wait to progress a bit farther before I talk about it.

This won't be like Warlords of Draenor where it completely fall under my radar.

More to come.

GM16: Mad Bombers/Run like the Wind Victors

Well, those were clear victories!

The Victors for the third round of the preliminaries are...


























The Green Goblin
"This is why only fools are heroes - Because you never know when some lunatic will come along with a sadistic choice!"




and...





The Roadrunner
"BEEP BEEP *zip-tang!*"



Goblin won handily with 8 votes out of 10 (80%) and a clear lead. Roadrunner outstripped his opponant's early lead by a mid-week influx leaving him 7 votes out of 9 (78%).


Now, let's hang our heads as Geekdom Madness bids a final farewell to Slappy Squirrel ("Ah forget it. Here's some dynamite down your pants!") and Sylvanas Windrunner ("I have no time for games!")


Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Gauging Interest

Ever hear of Let's Plays?

You know, those YouTube videos people put out where they film themselves playing video games and reacting in real time?

I've watched plenty over the last few years, and I usually think to myself: "I'd like to get into that."

However, while I have a video camera and a selection of PC games to start with, my laptop does not have the space required for additional games or the software needed to capture game footage and edit videos. And I do not have the money for said software anyway, much less a new PC, nor will I for at least a year or two.

Before I start saving, I wanted to gauge interest from some of my readers here. If I were to branch off into the YouTube business, would I have any sort of built-in interest for that from any of you?

I imagine my niche would be mostly story-driven RPGs. You know, stuff that I could do a lot of voices for and take my viewers on a journey. I'd also do occasional highlights of some of the more short-form and casual games I play, and once in a while rant vlogs as an extension of my writing here. My tentpole ongoing series would be an extensive playthrough of World of Warcraft, with an emphasis on quest lore and just having a bit of fun rather than anything cold and tutorial. I would gladly consider requests from viewers for nearly any PC game as long as it's not exclusively First Person view (first person makes me dizzy, and I'm not interested if I can't turn it off), and I put in the labels other long series I would eventually do.

Now, again, IF this happens, it won't be for a VERY long time mostly due to money. I guess what I'm asking my readers here is if that money is worth saving up? Would any of you watch something like that from me?
