Oh hi, I didn't see you come in. Thanks for stopping by. Welcome to Chez Zen, the humble home of ZenOfThunder. Some of you, my oldest Board 8 friends, may know me by my real name: Thanks for participating in all of my Mount Rushmore topics. As you are all probably aware, I will be abroad the next week, visiting the exotic Orlando, Florida. I may be riding the Spider-Man ride. While I'm away, please tend to my sitting room. Below are the previous results and nominations. Please take this time to suggest some new Rushmores and second some noms on the Google Sheet! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uCR-viOTP-yKhRZnTyvaoXj7teKRA12gz7m-1rfmhoY/ (Two sheets) Here's the schedule for when I return: 3/06: Video Game Villains 3/07: Cereal Mascots (National Cereal Day) 3/08: First Ladies of the United States (Int'l Womens' Day) 3/09: Sonic the Hedgehog Songs 3/10: Super Mario 64 levels (Mario Day) 3/11: Video Game Considered "Art" 3/12: Video Game Urban Legends 3/13: Rappers 3/14: Disney Songs 3/15: Cryptids 3/16: Movie Villains 3/17: Green Characters (St. Patrick's Day Special) Here is your Bad Video Games Rushmore. Sonic and CD-i Zelda were close for the first page but CD-i Zelda got almost no support after that and fell way behind. The top 4 were never really in contention. Thank god Custer's Revenge did not make it. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/7817b5a4.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/f/f91b54f7.png --------------------- An announcement: On 3/11 I am starting a new job, and I will begin posting new topics at night instead of in the morning. Thank you to everyone who has been actively participating in these Rushmore topics. This started kind of as a joke but has turned into one of my favorite projects I have ever done on this board. I genuinely believe this is one of few communities on the internet where this topic series can do consistently well and while we stay mostly cordial no matter the subject matter (with the exception of pizza toppings). I'm going to do my best to keep this going as long as possible. Love you Board 8. --------------------- https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/d73e19a4.png <3 --- (|| ' ' ||) When have you ever seen three big, very smooth arcs . /|_|\ of hair sticking out of a person's forehead?

Great topic series. It's analytical and argumentative enough to provide fun discussion points and it's broad enough to apply to a wide amount of topics. Even on just gaming, we can do so many of these. Though, it does kinda suck that if a certain franchise or character reaches a critical mass of popularity, it goes on so many different Rushmores (looking at you, pokemon)

Since the Bad Fanbases topic was cancelled, I'll post my prospective list here. To be clear, I am not saying that I personally think these are the worst; they are just the four that I think are the most infamous. I mean, it should in actuality be all sports fandoms, but I don't know enough about sports to know if there's any clear fandom there that rises above the rest.
