Anthology sounds like maybe I should listen to that last.

I wouldn't listen to Anthology for anything other than fun, certainly wouldn't include it in the ranking, with two exceptions - Free as a Bird and Real Love were unfinished John Lennon songs that Paul, George and Ringo dug up and finished in the 90s. Both got significant radio play, so I tend to count them.

I'll begin tomorrow, but in the meanwhile please help (Help!) me understand what albums I actually need to consider here. What I think works are:

Please Please Me
With the Beatles
A Hard Day's Night
Beatles for Sale
Help!
Rubber Soul
Revolver
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Magical Mystery Tour
The White Album
Yellow Submarine
Abbey Road
Let It Be

Does that pretty well cover it? Anything necessary with the remasters? Wikipedia has some other stuff like My Bonnie and Yesterday And Today...what about them? Anything else?

That's the British lineup of albums, which is generally accepted to be the definitive/official/canon version; the U.S. received a different lineup of albums for the first few years, with different track listings on AHDN, Help, Rubber Soul and Revolver, and completely different albums altogether for the others. The first album that had the same track listing universally was Sgt. Pepper, and they pretty much all followed suit from there.

BUT if you listen to the albums you listed, you also need to listen to Past Masters 1&2, which contain all the singles that weren't released on albums. I recommend this is the route you go down, as, like I said before, the U.S.-only albums don't contain any material you won't find here and are not usually considered to be the definitive way to experience the Beatles catalogue.

Also there's really only four tracks you need to listen to on Yellow Submarine - Hey Bulldog, All Together Now, It's All Too Much, and Only a Northern Song. The others are either repeats from other albums or scores from the film that aren't performed by the Beatles.

Tag. Definitely interested.

Also, they've been way more accessible through streaming venues in the last year so there's plenty of options to choose from whether it's Prime Music/Google Play/Spotify

Yeah the Beatles have always been held back through these types of services. IIRC they weren't even on iTunes until like 2010 or so.

Split votes predated the Edgardo strategy, it should be noted.

And an Edgardo-type TC is a lot more exciting than a straight-up split vote.

A lot of people tend to forget that, even though it never came to fruition, of all people it was Cao Boi who first brought up the idea of splitting votes to flush out an idol.

But seeing moderations in a closed topic like that just made me think of something random - about 10 years ago there was a suicide topic with a bunch of porn links in the OP that stayed open long enough to hit 500 (of course, once people realized this was possibly/probably going to happen it hit it pretty quickly; I think it was a little over an hour). Of course, almost immediately after it hit 500 it got deleted, so it was widely assumed that the mods saw it was closing in on 500 and just let it go.

From the looks of it at least he got modded for it, and I can't imagine that many moderations at once didn't lead to at least a Warning, maybe even a Purgatory.

Each week, gauntlets selected will be part of a selection of different themes. Tonight's theme is Video Games, which will include the gauntlets Video Games, Video Game Characters, Fighting Game Characters, & Pokemon

No Nintendo or FF?

I wish charon hadn't removed the Nintendo and FF tags from the VGC Gauntlet. It has more Nintendo AND FF characters and it actually gets updated.

Piss off scarlet

Dude, stop being offended by nonsense. Having active gauntlets with multiple uses is far more valuable than a bunch of inactive one-use gauntlets.

Then let's just get rid of all character-based gauntlets since they all fall under random.

I'm actually okay with it buffing idols because Plan Voodoo pretty much negates the purpose of idols. They are supposed to give the minority a fighting chance, but in most cases Plan Voodoo just makes it so that the person who plays one loses an ally anyway and only extends their life in the game by a round or two.

What I'm more concerned about is that for legitimate ties with equal alliances it prevents things like Fincher or Cochran from happening.

@Punnyz does GameStop still accept trade-ins on used Wii games? If not seems like that time is going to be up really soon. IIRC they nixed Game Cube trade-ins just before the Wii U came out.

I honestly didn't know what to expect going in other than it was apparently deserving of being the 10-seed of all Generation 5 games in the original BGE bracket. For what it was it was a cute and fun little game and I'd recommend it. I'll also be playing the Wii sequel.

Rhythm Heaven

Had this sitting around for a few years (I think I bought it during the "Chorus Kids for Smash 4" hype) and finally played it this weekend. Pleasantly surprised, but a few of those things were really stupidly anal about accuracy, particularly with the flicks. Remix 9 was a Goddamn fucking nightmare.
