Someone Praise Me For My Benevolence!

I didn't wanna do this. I swore I'd never do this.

If Only There Was Someone Out There Who Loved You

As usual, people complaining constantly about a thing I always thought was just okay made me reevaluate it and come to the conclusion it's actually great 

7-Foot Frame, Rats Along His Back

Of course a week after I post my Disney Animated Canon list, Encanto would be made available for Disney+ Subscribers.

I'm not going to go too in-depth here, but there will be some spoilers ahead.

Listmas 2021: The Disney Animated Canon

So during the long months in quarantine with small children, I managed to watch in order and rank every single Disney Animated Canon film. And I'm going to talk about it now.

Listmas 2021: Tabletop Gaming

Tabletop Gaming, while never quite going away, is certainly seeing something of a renaissance. It's been happening since the last half of the previous decade, but quarantines have seen it boost even higher through both family activities and online programs such as Tabletop Simulator.

Some readers may remember that I used to be involved with a community gaming day. This fell apart around the time other things in my life were, and after a falling out with that group in general I am looking for a new community to join. But I will always thank those people for helping me by either introducing me to or rekindling an old passion for many of the games on these lists. While it has been and continues to be difficult, I am eager to make new fond memories playing these games.

GM17 - TRG: Courage of the Heart/Bestial Victors

Slightly higher turnout this week!


The Victors for the second round of The Real Game are...

Anakin Skywalker

"You underestimate my power!"

and...

Godzilla

"SKREE-onnk!"

Anakin won his match handily with 6 votes out of 9 (66%). Godzilla won his match by only one late-week vote, ending with 5 votes out of 9 (55%). As I recall, the last match where we had 9 total votes was the last time Godzilla competed, so I'd be surprised if we didn't see more from him going forward.

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Also, Anakin wins on the Revenge of the Sixth

Geekdom Madness 2017 - The Real Game: Courage of the Heart/Bestial

Sorry for the late start, but we're plumbing all the hidden depths this week

GM17: Hothouse Power/Personality Shift Victors

Someone didn't vote for Match 2.

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

Anakin Skywalker

"You underestimate my power!"

and....

The Beast

"I'LL give you a place to stay!"

At least this week was not quite so one-sided. Anakin won the day with 5 votes out of 7 (71%). Match 2 came in with a complete tie, both combatants getting 3 votes out of 6 (50%). A tiebreaker D20 roll had Beast's 18 beat Saruman's 14 - fitting given what was just released yesterday.

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

This week: Divergent Character Evolution!

(Almost But Not Quite) Infinite Possibilities

With Disney Infinity beginning to cancel its online services at the end of the month, I thought it was high time to talk about this game that has enraptured me whilst my computer has been on the fritz. Though I've had it for a while and had experience with similar games before, it's only in the past months since its sudden cancellation that I've begun truly ulocking its secrets and my enjoyment.

This will be a long review with multiple facets.

The Victors for the Geekdom Madness Semi-Final are...

Captain Jack Sparrow

"You will always remember this as the day you almost caught...Captain Jack Sparrow!"

 With 6 out of 9 votes (66%), he yo-hoed Yoda. He has what it takes.

and...

Maleficent

"You poor simple fools! Thinking you could defeat me...ME! The mistress of all evil!"

 With 4 out of 8 votes (50%) and a tiebreaker die roll of 14 to her opponent's abysmal 1, she riddled the Riddler. She has what it takes.


Here's the breakdown. Tomorrow, the Geekdom Madness 2016 Final!

I thought that was going to go 100% the opposite way

Captain Jack Sparrow

"You will always remember this as the day you almost caught...Captain Jack Sparrow!"

and...

Maleficent

"You poor simple fools! Thinking you could defeat me...ME! The mistress of all evil!"

Disney wins the day. Captain Jack nailed Match 1 by a landslide 8 votes out of 10 (80%). Maleficent came back from a disappointing start, winning by one last-minute vote to gain 5 votes out of 9 (55%).

So now, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Elite Four of Geekdom Madness 2016: The Tournement of Losers

These two had an early lead before their opponents overtook them. However, last-minute, Mewtwo gathered a total of 5 votes out of 8 (62%) and Maleficent gathered 4 votes out of 7 (57%)

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!
