REMINDER: I am starting a new job tomorrow, 3/11. It's a big boy 8am to 5pm type of deal where I have to wear a nice shirt and shoes and my pants must be ironed.

Because I will no longer be bumming around after getting laid off, I won't be free in the mornings to do this, and depending on how work-intensive this job is, I may shift how often I do these.

I'm having a ton of fun with this topic series and I think you guys are too, so I am going to do my best to keep this going daily.

However, I will be switching to posting new Rushmores at night instead of the morning, meaning today's Rushmore will effectively be running from now until tomorrow night.

-----------------------------------

HAPPY MARIO DAY! I realized we had only 3 nominations ever for Mario 64 levels but 4 nominations for Mario Games, so I swapped them so that the more requested one was actually on Mario Day.

Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Mario Game-specific rules: I was thinking maybe I'd limit this to mainline games, but screw it. I am opening this up to ALL MARIO GAMES AND SPINOFFS EVER MADE (developed by Nintendo). Yes, that includes Luigi's Mansion. That includes Paper Mario. That includes Mario Paint. If it got Mario and was developed by Nintendo, it counts. So if you were thinking of wasting a spot on Hotel Mario,

YESTERDAY: Not much of a competition despite the huge variety of entries submitted. Most people would post Green Hill Zone, one of the other three on the Rushmore, then 2 songs they personally liked.

There was actually a tie between Chemical Plant and Super Sonic Racing for a while, then someone posted something like "why isn't Chemical Plant doing better" and then it started getting way more votes. Not sure if it was a coincidence or if the callout actually did something, but SSR got almost no votes after that point.

A good performance from Drowning, which is iconic in its own way, and is definitely the one song on the Video Game Drowning Music Mount Rushmore.

Are movie release dates usually so specific 2 years out?

yes, a lot of studios will pick dates close to when another successful movie in the franchise was released, to "lay claim" to it so other studios cannot have that weekend for a similar film. this usually only applies to big tentpole movies. mario is a tentpole now

Sonic songs-specific rules: If it was in a Sonic game it counts, however, I'd like us to avoid jingles this time. I don't really consider jingles "songs" for this exercise. One day we can do a Rushmore of just iconic video game jingles.

Music must be from a Sonic GAME, we are not covering any other Sonic media, so no theme songs from any of the cartoons or score from the movie.

I'm probably going to end up rolling together remixes and originals, so if you actually want to vote for the shitty remix of Chemical Plant Zone from Forces I will probably just count that as a vote for the original Chemical Plant Zone instead.

YESTERDAY: A low turnout on international women's day for the women of the oval office. This one did require a bit more political knowledge to vote in than normal so I get it.

We ended up having a heated battle for 3rd AND 4th which has not happened in a while. Multiple times we had a 3-way tie between Clinton, Adams and Obama, but it was broken in the last 2 votes so we didn't need to go to tiebreaker. Sorry Michelle!

Most WTF answer: someone voted by "hotness." I admire the balls it takes to admit that you're doing that on international women's day. I respect it. One day we can do a Rushmore of hottest Presidents. Have you seen young Joe Biden? Damn.

Ok yeah we really need the Jeffrey dahmer Netflix show and 20 movies about him to figure out serial killers and how to stop them

everyone can consume whatever media they want, I do not consume media about serial killers, and i strongly believe that it does more harm than good and should not be made

podcasts about serial killers I have mixed feelings about, I think thats ok depending how its presented.

not talking about this anymore, if anyone wants to do their own Rushmore topic for serial killers I will not be upset, i do not own this concept

I happened to be reading about Edith Wilson before this discussion happened and her Wikipedia page straight up says she basically ran the White House in the opening paragraph

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/f/f7415fa9.jpg

I actually think this is really interesting because I dont think Ive ever heard anyone talk about this before, I guess its just not common knowledge (or I was a bad student)

thank you Rushmore topic series for continuing my education

Encanto is about generational trauma and she's the shitty overbearing family matriarch

She gets kinda redeemed at the end and realizes what she's done but she's already done a lot of damage. Not a traditional villain but an effective one, better than most of what Disney has come up with in the past two decades

worked at a comic shop on and off, hard to place an exact amount of time on it but it was over the course of 6 years

I didn't consider it a "real" job because 80% of it was just fucking around reading comics and bullshitting with the regulars. It was easily the best job I ever had. I almost became the manager but we all believed there was a "curse" that trapped managers there in a dead-end job. That was... 2012ish I think. My friend got the job when I turned it down. It is 2024 and he is still manager. The curse is real.

I owned a food truck for a bit and that's also different than traditional food service jobs because I was da boss. Miss my truck

I consider myself lucky that most of the rest of my career has been in non-customer facing jobs. I hate that shit

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY! Have you thanked your local women yet? No? Who am I kidding, we're on Board 8. None of us talk to any women.

Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just pick the first 4 you say when I do the tally. If you list the same character multiple times I'm going to count it as 1 vote. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

First Lady-specific rules: Must have occupied the office of the FLOTUS. See the Wikipedia list below, they need to be on there on they don't count.

Cereal Mascots: Tony the Tiger, Trix Rabbit, Lucky, Cap'n Crunch

YESTERDAY: We had a briefly close race for second, third AND fourth, with an absolute battle that slowly started to even out through the end of page 1.

Toucan Sam made several plays to make it onto the Rushmore but would consistently lose steam upon getting within spitting distance of Lucky and Cap'n Crunch.

Buzz the Bee may now hold the record for most people that voted for him without even knowing his name, which explains why a mascot so iconic could get so few votes compared to his peers.

There was randomly some discourse based on how US-centric the cereal choices were, as if Mount Rushmore wasn't an American concept, in America, hand-carved by Bandit Keith. Didn't expect a UK push for the Honey Monster.

AI Rushmore by Microsoft CoPilot: Any time we do a Rushmore featuring primarily cartoon characters the AI freaks out trying to make 3D interpretations of 2D characters then making them into stone heads.

Best realistic one (I generated maybe 40 of these and this is the only one that actually gave me something other than the real Mount Rushmore with the heads smiling):

From Eiichiro Oda:

It is too early.
The hole is too big. Sadness washes over me when I think that I will never see him again.

I have admired him so much since I was a child, so I remember the day he called me by name for the first time. On the way home from the day you used the word "friend" for me and Kishimoto, I remember being overjoyed with Kishimoto. I also remember the last conversation we had.

I was one of those who took the baton from the days when reading manga made you a fool, and he also created an era when both adults and children could enjoy reading manga. He showed us the dream that manga can go worldwide. It was like watching a hero going forward.

For not only mangakas but also creators in various industries, the excitement and emotion of the time of Dragon Ball serialization must have taken root in their childhood.
His existence is like a big tree.

For the manga artists of our generation who stood on the same stage, Toriyama's works became more and more important to me as I got closer to the same stage. I even felt being scary. But I am just happy to see the aloof man himself again. Because we love him on a blood level.

With respect and gratitude for the creative world he has left behind. I pray for his soulful rest in peace.
May heaven be the joyous world he envisioned.

dude I literally cannot believe this is real. I was watching the state of the union and ppl in the chat started spamming "akira toriyama is dead." I thought it was just some weird trolling and even when I saw the tweet and news article I was like "no fucking way"
