Kid Icarus and Tales of Graces are probably stronger than everything Diablo is facing today.

Hey, just realized that with the GoT video game, we can now nominate Ned Stark if we ever get the fictional character battle.

Game of the decade? More like Guru of the decade mirite?
However, the Guru of the next decade so far is SuperNiceDog

The playrate would have been higher if the first 2 games in the series weren't so unknown in comparison to the next 3 games in the series.

Appealing to the R&C fanboy in Leon does not make your constant BS any better. Watching a LP is not the same as playing the game, and thus is not the way to judge a game. Play your own damn games and form your own opinions.

The intention was not to appeal to the R&C fanboy in Leon. It's just that over the past few months, I've been watching YouTube videos from this one user whose gaming tastes were already really close to mine, and by coincidence, it turns out that he's a huge Ratchet & Clank fan. After watching LPs of the PS2 Ratchet & Clank games, especially Up Your Arsenal, it's not hard at all to understand why. I'd be totally pumped up to play those games myself at some point.

He's also a huge fan of Skies of Arcadia, the Sonic series, Super Mario Galaxy, and the Phoenix Wright games. But...

...remember when I stated that I had been following a YouTube user who really liked Star Fox Adventures, Sonic Heroes, Heavenly Sword, White Knight Chronicles, and Metroid: Other M, but who also disliked Final Fantasy X, Majora's Mask, Brawl, Fallout 3, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Half-Life 1? Same guy.

Nope!

Watching LPs is fine and all, but it's hardly fair to judge games by them.

Interesting poll for geolocation stats, especially since we had this one run back in 09. So far, Serbia is the only nation with a plurality of voters that believe the world's going to end, whereas Kazakhstan, Nepal, and Myanmar thought so last time.

Soda's percentage right now - 54.52%
At the freeze in the 4/29/2010 poll - 51.19%
At the freeze in the 7/20/2009 poll - 49.91%

Soda is even more dominant this time around.

Soda managed to stay above 50% until the 2:27 AM update. Impressive considering in the 4/29/2010 poll, Soda fell below 50% on the 12:25 AM update.

Time is running out for Coke here. Soda just survived the entire 5:00-6:00 AM without losing a single update to Coke. Coke only has about 30 minutes left to try and sneak in a cut before the morning vote starts to kick in here.

Trend charts for the Soda poll:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdEhncDFrUXlqZmhDdlcwSDJMRHVxSnc&gid=3

For the poll updates, I added something extra called "Soda's Lead over Coke" since Coke never managed to take the lead over Pop during this poll. This was the first time that Pop beat Coke in the Soda poll and it was able to do that without allowing Coke to take the lead over Pop once during the poll. Pop's lead maxed out at 469 (3:02 AM update), but Coke could only cut 340 votes off the lead to get it down to 129 on the 8:09 AM update. After that update, Pop pretty much stalled Coke and even tried to slowly build up that lead again. By the time the ASV started, Pop had a lead of almost 400 and would later finish the poll with a 1002 vote lead.


Coke did worst with the board vote and Power Hour, but it took until 3:00 AM before it started to take off with the night vote. It dropped off slightly when the morning vote kicked in and remained stable for the rest of the poll. Coke only won a grand total of 4 hours (3:00-7:00 AM) over Pop, which shows how much Pop was in control during the poll.

Cola was very terrible with the board vote and Power Hour, but it slowly gained strength over the course of the night vote. The night vote was the best time period for Cola, but it dropped off during the morning vote and then dropped off even more when the ASV kicked in. Cola was very terrible in the ASV and SNV. Fizzy Drink also had the same trends as Cola.

Soda had a very strong board vote and Power Hour. The first 2 hours of the poll were Soda's best hours and it even managed 3 straight hours of 46% or better. Soda collapsed during the night vote, but it never lost a single update to Coke (lost 3 updates in the 4/29/2010 poll and 7 updates in the 7/20/2009 poll). Soda immediately bounced back once the morning vote kicked in, but it would take a few hours to get back up to 40% hours again. Soda's percentage dropped all the way down to 42.10% at 9:59 AM, but it started going back up in percentage after that point. Between 10:00 AM and the start of the ASV, Soda only managed to gain about 0.25% before shooting up like crazy with the ASV. Soda gained an additional 1.5% after the ASV started and was very dominant with the ASV and SNV.

Soft Drink had a terrible board vote and Power Hour. It was very strong with the night vote and the early part of the morning vote. After the early morning vote, Soft Drink had a huge drop off for the rest of the poll. It did worst during the ASV.

Other had a terrible board vote and Power Hour. It had a strong night vote and morning vote, but it started doing terrible again once the ASV kicked in.

I was a little surprised at yesterday's poll as I've seen other people leave the crust on the plate before throwing it away.


Tomorrow's poll - http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3701

We had that poll back in 2009 and pizza managed to win that poll. Of course, since I hate pizza, I'll be voting for the second most popular option in an attempt to get pizza to finish in second place.
