Title: Top Ten Things Missing from Tomodachi Life
Post by: Halbred on July 23, 2014, 10:34:00 AM

Maybe they can add this stuff in the sequel.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/38127/top-ten-things-missing-from-tomodachi-life







10. Peeing & pooping

Oh, horrible diarrhea!



9. Bitter divorce

Complete with child custody battles!



8. Rockwell's "Somebody's Watchin' Me"

I wonder who's watching me now? WHO? Zach's look-a-like?



7. Schools of any kind

Not even a community college?



6. Vehicular manslaughter

This might explain the lack of vehicles...



5. Wildlife

Maybe they ate everything?



4. Infanticide

Man, this list just got DARK.



3. Stereotypical 90's hip-hop outfits

Associated catchphrase: "YEAAAAH BOOOOYYYYY!"



2. Labor disputes

Well, none of them work full time.



1. A lottery

And no Hunger Games-style lottery either. Immediate stoning.

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.

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

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.
