my brother-in-law works for GameSpot and he told me all the Fandom people are very nice in the company Slack

he says it's better than the Red Ventures people so ?????

I am gonna assume that Fandom is a shit company with good people working for it which is why my only protest here is making two ironic Rushmore topics. I don't think there's any way to fight the changing tides

ps ZenOfThunder will always be horny

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.

Non-political-American-specific-rules: We aim to follow the new ToS, so there needs to be NO political talk ITT. If you are going to debate whether or not an American is too political to be voted for, make sure to be careful not to ACTUALLY mention politics in your argument!! I suggest a series of smoke signals to accomplish this.

  • Must be an American citizen, born or naturalized
  • Must not have ever held any type of political office
  • Must not have ever run for any type of political office
  • Must have NEVER expressed any type of political leaning or firm stance on a hot-button political topic
  • Must be a semi-notable American, you cannot vote for yourself or someone only you know
  • Must be a real person that is confirmed to exist

Game Shows: Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune, Price is Right, TIEBREAKER GO VOTE

YESTERDAY: This is absolutely one of the biggest nail-biters for me to tally ever. The first few posts I was like, "what a boring day, it's gonna be Jeopardy/Wheel/Price/Feud"... and then I realized Millionaire was only two votes behind Feud, and I was like "wow that's just a fluke though"

Then the Millionaire votes started rolling in... including a few from our obviously non-American Board 8ers... and more and more votes became either "Jeopardy/Wheel/Price/Feud" OR "Jeopardy/Wheel/Price/Millionaire," indicating Feud was the "weak link" that people tossed out for vanity votes. Eventually, Millionaire was leading by 2 consistently

But the real twist was when we had second-page Millionaire discourse, because I guess ppl picked up on it getting so much support, and two people CHANGED THEIR VOTES from Millionaire to something else, including @AbsolutelyNoOne changing from Millionaire TO FEUD, which tied it up. The tie was more or less consistent until the last vote.

Absolutely wild. I hesitate to call Millionaire the underdog here because I would say it held 4th longer than Feud. Going to be interesting to see how the tiebreaker goes.

Due to the new ToS, we will no longer do any horny or overtly political Rushmores.

We didn't do a lot of these to begin with so I don't think this is a huge change.

Game Show-specific-rules: Needs to be a game show that airs/aired on broadcast TV where people win money. I am NOT talking about shows like Survivor, there should be limited "reality" elements to these shows. Episodes should be consumable on a standalone basis.

Things like "Jeopardy" and "Celebrity Jeopardy" are the same thing, you don't have to be overly specific here.

Lmao this whole exchange

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/724cfb9b.jpg

Certainly! Both the GameFAQs Character Battle contests and the Best Game Ever contests have had their fair share of unexpected match outcomes over the years, often leading to intense debates and surprises among fans. Here are a few notable examples:

1. **GameFAQs Character Battle Contests**:
- In the 2014 Character Battle, Waluigi, a character from the Mario series known for his role as a supporting character and occasional antagonist, unexpectedly defeated popular characters such as Zelda and Tifa Lockhart in early rounds, surprising many fans with his success.
- In the same contest, the character "L-Block" from Tetris managed to reach the semi-finals, surpassing expectations and becoming a fan favorite due to a grassroots campaign to rally support for the seemingly insignificant block.

2. **GameFAQs Best Game Ever Contests**:
- In the 2002 Best. Game. Ever. contest, the underdog game *Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty* managed to defeat *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time* in the finals, causing an upset among fans who expected the latter to win.
- Another unexpected outcome occurred in the 2014 Best. Game. Ever. contest, where the indie game *Undertale* reached the finals, surpassing many AAA titles and garnering widespread support from fans, ultimately losing to *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time*.

These unexpected match outcomes often spark heated discussions and debates among the gaming community, showcasing the diversity of opinions and preferences among fans. They also highlight the unpredictability of popularity contests and the ability of lesser-known or niche titles to capture the hearts of voters.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/1/14d55bcb.jpg

Certainly! Here are some genuine examples of unexpected match outcomes from GameFAQs contests:

1. **GameFAQs Character Battle Contests**:
- In the 2013 Character Battle, Ness from *EarthBound* defeated popular characters such as Sonic the Hedgehog and Sephiroth to reach the finals, surprising many fans with his underdog victory.
- In the 2017 Character Battle, Sans from *Undertale* made it to the finals, defeating iconic characters like Mario and Link along the way, showcasing the unexpected popularity of the indie game.

2. **GameFAQs Best Game Ever Contests**:
- In the 2004 Best. Game. Ever. contest, *The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask* unexpectedly defeated *The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time* in the semi-finals, causing a stir among fans who expected the latter to win.
- In the 2007 Best. Game. Ever. contest, *Final Fantasy VII* was eliminated in the early rounds, surprising many fans who considered it one of the greatest RPGs of all time.

These examples demonstrate the unpredictable nature of popularity contests and how unexpected match outcomes can arise due to factors such as fan campaigns, niche game communities, and shifting trends in gaming culture.

I'm not going to be around tomorrow, so this is a 2-day special! I moved the schedule around so that this one would be contest-centric as I think it will give us all something to talk/reminisce about together for two days. Must feed Leon, Ulti and KP

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.

Upset-specific-rules: Just being a seeding upset does not count as we know that the Contests were seeded like shit. These need to be matches that were not highly contested and there was an unexpected outcome where the "weaker" character or game upset the "stronger" one.

We are not looking for matches that had a 50/50 shot of going either way, these should be matches where nobody really debated much about them. Real David and Goliath shit. You can use stats or whatever to justify what is and is not an "upset" but I think we know the big ones by now.

YESTERDAY: I threw away a bunch of votes for Avengers Endgame because I hate Thanos. Just kidding! I love Thanos and Thanos culture.

This was one of the least competitive Rushmores we have ever had. There was a ton of discourse over Time Loop vs Time Travel movies which I think is funny because people were voting Groundhog Day without even thinking twice about it.

Two Terminator wins in one day!

wanted to post this funny sticker I have on my old iPad:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/7d61dd61.jpg

my friend found a bunch of these really awful stickers in the back of the warehouse of the comic shop I used to work at. there were a ton of them like this, and while most of them did feature Pikachu in some capacity, the rest were all highlights of really odd Pokemon for a sticker pack, like this Graveler one that I fell in love with and took for myself

The entire pack was obviously made before it was set in stone what the "core" Pokemon for marketing would be, so you get Graveler with kissy faces instead of any stickers at all with Charizard. this is what I would consider a "golden age" of Pokemon

I think this era is reflected well in the KFC toys also. you got all 151 original Pokemon to choose from, but it's so early and untested in the US that they go with... Zubat, Vulpix, Seel, Dratini. Uhhhh yeah those four all had serious staying power. Just like getting toys at KFC

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/2bb176fe.jpg

I love early Pokemon days. Let Pikachu be fat again

Time Travel Movie-specific-rules:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/5b183827.jpg

Movie must feature time travel as a core component of the plot. Time travel cannot just be something that's a throwaway gag or a deus ex machina. The main character does not need to time travel themselves, there should just be a major character(s) time traveling in a way that impacts or drives the plot forward.

YESTERDAY: I threw away a good amount of votes for Thanos. I don't think the movie version is different enough! I worked at a comic shop for 6 years! My ruling stands! Another exclamation point!

Really great showing by Dr. Evil. There's so much latent love for Austin Powers, I cannot believe Hollywood has not tried to resuscitate that franchise.

4th place was an absolute battle the entire time. Due to the variety of characters we had Dr. Evil, Joker, Terminator, Freddy and Hannibal, all tied with each other for 3rd or 4th constantly for most of the topic. Dr. Evil managed to pull away and Freddy looked like he'd have 4th, but he stopped getting support after page 2. Freddy's Dead.
