Did anyone else want to get in on hosting after Crime 2? The door is open to anyone who'd like to host, the only thing we ask is that you participate in two rankings beforehand (which means if you'd like to participate in the next two queued up, feel free to plan something out!)

I'm in! Been developing an animated short/short subject list with a loose theme of 'weird' to tie it all together. Expect entries of all sorts, as short as 60 second TV spots and as long as the ~40 minute Magnetic Rose from Katsuhiro Otomo's Memories.

This would have to be after Sonic 111 is well underway.

Bought the racial justice bundle from 2020-- that had way more stuff and a great deal of content overlap with the subsequent super-bundles. Not a bad deal if you missed out on those.

Is there any chance you could narrow that down to two for the main ranking and then I could go over the rest at the annual post ranking?

No problem! Let's hold onto Axis Pillar and Space Lion.

Chrono

nominate SEATBELTS - COWBOY BEBOP

Mind, this nomination is for the first volume. The greatest soundtrack to one of the greatest stories ever told.

Green Hill Zone
Super Sonic Racing
Live and Learn ...main theme of "SONIC ADVENTURE 2"
HIS WORLD ~THEME OF SONIC THE HEDGEHOG~

I opted for His World because of its overwhelming prominence at the time of the game's release. Other candidates might include:
Chemical Plant Zone
Sonic Boom
Sonic ~ You Can Do Anything
Open Your Heart
Undefeatable

Power Trick
+3 Arcanine
+2 Anorith

-2 Drowzee

Soundodger's great. [as] Games had a very special identity-- sad it all had to end this way.

The Atari 2600/VCS was only ever designed to play Pong/paddle games, and it was through the combined wizardry of developers such as those found at Activision, Imagic, and Atari themselves that it ever became anything more. Dedicated machines like Colecovision and Intellivision are more capable than the VCS, but to say that they've left a comparable footprint to Atari on the landscape of games today is delusional. They were the benchmark, paving a path forward for the 8-bit consoles and home computers of gen 3. With the NES, console games became a phenomenon, more than an arcade-sized distraction and onward to much richer, immersive experiences.

If you want to gain a new perspective for this medium, check out Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration (my GOTY for 2022) and try out those 2600 games for yourself. If you think Castlevania II is cryptic, you ain't seen Swordquest.

I'll be honest. It's no Wooper.

Neutral no

Does this include Famicom? Because these are all Famicom:

Lagrange Point
Joy Mech Fight
Daiva Story 6: Imperial of Nirsartia
Master Takahashi's Adventure Island IV
Championship Lode Runner

GameCube

My favorite wahoo-box

Auron
King of All Cosmos

Chief's way more iconic, but the mystique is long-gone. Halo is a relic of the 2000s, and hasn't been great removed from them.

Midna
Shadow

Tag! And ah hell I guess it's a sin but I love Tom & Jerry: The Movie. It's a mess, absolutely, but it's a beautiful mess with a lot of heart. For a 90s family film, it could've erred much worse.

Not even an alien guy, but there ya go. The Killers' song came immediately after, for what that's worth.

Amaterasu
Midna

Hell of a slate today

End.

This series has been a fascinating window into the question of what the most endearing aspects of pop culture actually are. It's been so fun to see where all these different minds are led given a common word or phrase to build off of. Thanks so much for hosting!

After 'end', my brain jumped to Mind's Eye, since you did say you wanted different answers from everyone.

Eggman

followed closely by Chowder Man

Yes.
If you're ambivalent to her, you've missed the point. She's not bad, she's just drawn that way.

Man I was wise to not nom for this if Idioteque's already out. Gorguts and Enya too...
