Nearly 500 votes and counting in just a few hours! I'm really determined to break the 3000 vote barrier and finally have something overthrow the GameCube. Spread this poll far and wide and let's see if we can get a truly diverse Top 10 out of this final poll!
Almost a year ago, I started this crazy project. And now, it's finally time to vote on "The Greatest Game of All Time!"

501 entries across all of gaming. Choose your Top 10 and let's see what ends up as the greatest! Voting will remain open until the end of 11/23!

I know nothing of DQ7’s plot but adult Kiefer has me wondering a lot of things. The heck happens in this game?

It’s been *amazing* following this. PLEASE chuck your votes in. This must be one of the biggest sample sizes of a project like this ever!

I'm such an idiot. I'm so sorry to everyone who's voted but I think I need to scrap the current poll. I wanted to go elaborate and big and instead, it's too much of a monster that my laptop won't even load the damn thing. I'm making a new one that emulates all the ones we've done before. Sorry...

Sure is fun having a game key card debate with nearly every major Switch 2 release.

I haven’t beaten Xenogears since its initial release back in the 90s. But doing that now? After all the Xenosaga and Xenoblade releases? There’s an extra layer of fun in seeing what got repurposed. If it ever got a remaster or new re-release, Xenoblade fans have to check it out.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but all four seasons of Beakman's World are on Tubi.

One of the best science shows for kids ever produced and one that definitely should be mentioned alongside Mr. Wizard, 3-2-1 Contact, and Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Beakman's World
A slightly nutty, always inquisitive scientist leads a journey of discovery while performing experiments that demonstrate how the world works.

It’s our new longest episode to date as @brandonbovia.bsky.social and I finally talk about the end of Whole Cake and the beginning of the Reverie! Oh my god there is so much good stuff in here to digest in terms of character. Love it! youtu.be/S_Sz1ocz8-A?...

Just a heads up that the Final Greatest of All Time Poll will not be posted today. It will go live at the same time as the Wild Card Results Discussion tomorrow and will last for TWO weeks. I want to beat GameCube in total votes and maybe even widen the audience to ensure true variety in the results

In many ways I'm grateful to do these silly Top Games polls. People enjoy them and while it's a ton of work, it provides a small escape for people from whatever's happening in the world. Sincerely, thanks for watching, spreading the polls, or voting even once.

They got cute and used Senators not up for re-election next year or ones that were retiring for the surrender vote.

So here's the metric we use instead:

If you aren't pushing for a new Democratic leader in the Senate *immediately,* you're out on your ass.

Somebody for the love of god primary Chuck Schumer. He comes ready made for an attack ad “Chuck” Schumer. Witness the man with no spine

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

I just realized I never shared the Total Votes for the 9th Gen Multiplatform discussion! Take a look at what just missed the Top 50 and beyond! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Inspired by @bitnerd.gvg.io Xenogears subathon, I bought, built and painted these official Xenogears modelkits. I think they turned out fantastic for an amateur who has never painted anything. #plamo

Okay.

I admit Kirby Air Riders is fun but it also feels like a game I'd need to spend way more time in single player actually figuring out my setup. How could a two button game feel so chaotic that I feel like I barely have control at times?

Thread:

I finished preparing what I could of the final Top 10 Google Form. Every game that has made a Top 10 so far is there as a Finalist for the Greatest of All Time. However, after talking with the GVG Discord, I decided to make a few tweaks to our lineup. (1/4)

Finally played Silksong again after so long. I love the concept behind the clockwork twins boss. Lost on phase 2 but it seems doable. The game is still so much fun but I want to beat it before my Hades 2 physical comes in. And then I keep hearing more about Absolum…

It's time to go wild! This week's poll is the wild card where ANY game is viable. Any system, any era and that includes mods like Project Melee and fan games like AM2R. The only limitation is that previous winners won't count & randomizers will be toward the original game. forms.gle/AdYdzyZYTEcd...

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.
