:confused;

This is getting real old real fast.

I get that these lists even appearing on the home page is a joke in itself, but this one was a bit tasteless.

Wasn't gay marriage supposed to be on that list?

Is usage of recreational drugs (ie marijuana, alcohol) allowed in the game? if not that should also be on the list.

Three weeks in, I should probably talk about this.


I'd been wanting to do a Top Ten thing for awhile now, inspired by the Letterman show (not other sites). Originally I wanted to do it as either an image-free list OR as a weekly thing to throw in between Connectivity segments. Read aloud, as the Top Ten list on Letterman is.


Well, internal discussions were had and the feature ended up on the site, not on the podcast. Additionally, images were strongly encouraged. Personally, I don't think they add much. I feel like the images are redundant and, in this instance IN PARTICULAR, dulled the impact of the jokes.


I'm pretty sure typing "infanticide" into Google Image Search puts you on a government watch list, so I took a creative way out. But this list doesn't need images to work. The intent is for this to be a weekly humor piece, but let me know if you don't like it or if it needs improving. I wouldn't disagree that this week's list was "tasteless," but because it's something super-innocent like Tomodachi Life, I think it kind of works. I think the images dull the presentation.


So that's the Top Ten. I would like to continue them, but not if nobody likes them. Oddly enough, they have been getting an unusually high number of hits--whether that's because people like lists or because people think they're funny, I don't know.

If top 10 lists didn't generate clicks, Buzzfeed and Bleacher Report wouldn't exist.

keep doing what you're doing. Don't listen to the haters.

The site needs content, and content creates clicks. Clicks bring new readers. New readers creates more commenters. More commenters give Khush someone to harass/recruit into the forums.
It's a cycle of Forum Life.

But David Letterman's are funny and have some class.

Left out witty, too.

I just thought it would have been better as an actual list. That I was interested in.

Top ten in-jokes that Halbred could have made to appeal to the forum members:
10. James Jones Stunnah Shades
9. Brood Wars complaints department, Please hold.
8. Changyuraptor yangi
7. Anime Figurines
6. Jurassic Park 4
5. Sweat Pants
4. Alaska
3. "Connectivity" more than a podcast (if you know what I'm sayin')
2. Shantae Rule 34
1. Cthulhu
*cue music* We'll be right back with Bill Murray!

You got me, I clicked. The bait worked. But that's more because I was expecting a real article than unfunny jokes.

I laughed at 'image not available' so it wasn't a total loss.
