This list includes several types of art, mostly paintings and sculptures.

Alright. I will limit it to 10 games apiece, a la S&S, and the deadline shall be January 6th, 2024, the end of the holiday season. If you limit it to 10 games per person, very few games will get more than 2 votes, and the results are not going to be interesting. The limit works for S&S beca...

I played a lot of games in the last 2 years, so my new list is going to look very different from my old list. I'm not sure if you want the ballots in a certain format, but let me know if you want me to change it. 1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3. D...

The plan is to only include games that I can be almost certain are eligible. For the edge cases, I'll be researching whether or not the particular release holds up, and also looking at whether its performance on the platform lists is about what you would expect. To give a pretty clear example, the ...

mjf314

The next major project will be adding all of the platform specific lists, but that's complicated due to releases on different platforms not always being of the same quality. I'm not sure if that's a good idea. I can't think of a good way to determine eligibility, because different lists decide elig...

Thanks for the explanation. I just did some googling to see if there are any other similar formulas. I found one called the Colley Matrix method , and I'm curious if you've heard of it. It's used to give college sports teams a strength rating based on matchups, where different teams might play a dif...

mjf314

If there's something specific about the formula that you're confused about then I'll try to answer it, but I don't want to reveal how it all works from start to finish. And even if I was willing to do that, it would take a lot of writing. In the FAQ it says "A program then tracks of how often ...

I'm working on a video covering all "acclaimed" sites. I will be discussing this, TSP, Greatesteverbooks, AcclaimedVideoGames, and TreasureTV. But I'm wondering if there is an equivalent for comics I can use. The closest reference I have is Watchmen being in the 450s of GreatestEverBooks....

mjf314

It's hard to decide if I like these formula changes, because I don't know the current formula. I read the about/FAQ page, but it's kind of vague. Is there another page where you explain the formula in more detail?

You might be interested in this list, which includes paintings and sculptures: https://beckchris.com/visual-arts/best- ... ks-part-1/

This website has aggregate lists for several types of art.

I'm wondering...Which traditional still art pieces should I add? If you mean paintings, here are some examples of critically acclaimed paintings (in no particular order): "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" by Pablo Picasso "Mona Lisa" by Leonardo da Vinci "Sistine Chapel Ceiling&q...

mjf314

Don't forget music, music videos, plays, and poetry. There are a lot of niche types of media that could be included as well.

A lot of people are still making still images and sculptures, so I'm not sure why you say that they're obsolete.

mjf314

Joker certainly isn't any kind of hero, but I just mean he counts in that he's part of the superhero world (compared to, like, counting singing cowboy Gene Autry because he used to have a comic book). There's nothing in the movie that makes it feel like a superhero world. If they changed the name J...

mjf314

I wouldn't consider Joker a superhero movie, because there are no superheroes in it. Just a villain. I don't think most people consider Men in Black or Ghost World a superhero movie, but I haven't seen them, so I can't be sure. The Lego Movie has superheroes in it, but if I remember correctly, they'...

Alright, upon looking into it, I think that it might be a good idea to just go off of RateYourMusic's genres. Let me know what you think, but I feel like it would be easy and simple to say that if a movie hase "Superhero" as a main (bolded) genre on RYM, it is eligible, and otherwise not....

mjf314

Ok, I removed Dr. Horrible from my list. I'm not sure what you mean about Dredd. I think he fits the definition of superhero very closely. He's a human who wears a costume, he has superhuman abilities, and he protects the public. It seems that most people consider Dredd a superhero. All of the follo...

mjf314

When I said that, I was thinking of the first Terminator film. I'm not sure about T2. I don't remember it well.

What about Hulk? He doesn't wear a costume (unless you count regular pants as a costume), but everyone considers him a superhero.

mjf314

At the risk of sounding pedantic: What defines a superhero? Normally I would say it is a human being (though that may be debatable, because I'm not sure how the Terminator classifies) with special abilities (from the phantastical realm, including Science-Fiction) who has to go through adventures in...

Thanks. I should have done a search before suggesting it.

Has there been a paintings poll yet?

mjf314

Maybe a book poll? I don't read much, so my own list would be very short, but I'd be interested in seeing the results.

mjf314

A well-deserving #1.

This list reminds me that I haven't played any Final Fantasy games yet. Maybe I'll play Final Fantasy VII sometime this year if I have time.

mjf314

Without looking at the ballots, I'm pretty sure that these 5 games will make the top 10:

Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy VII
Super Mario 64
Super Mario World
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

mjf314

I can think of 5 games from the 90s that I'm pretty sure will make the top 10. I'm not sure about the other 5.

mjf314

I'm surprised to see the original Zelda above A Link to the Past, because I thought most people like A Link to the Past more. Actually the votes seem to agree with this, because 3 of the 4 people who voted for both games gave a better rank to A Link to the Past.

Next up, we have the respective best rated titles on Play That Game and Glitchwave as well as a game that was once awarded a mark above 10/10, what could they possibly be? We'll find out in a matter of hours! #1 Play That Game is Tetris. #1 Glitchwave is Bloodborne, but Bloodborne was one of the ru...

A few comments about versions of games that I voted for (I haven't actually played these versions, so I'm judging by videos that I watched). The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo DS) - I think it should be combined with the N64 version. It's just different graphics and other minor changes. ...

mjf314

I think different ports of the same game should be combined, if there are only minor changes.

If there are major changes, maybe they should be separate, but I can't think of any examples.

I'm interested in a comics poll, but I hope you don't mind if my list is entirely manga.

I'm not interested in episodes because I don't watch individual episodes, so it wouldn't be useful as a list of recommendations. It's also too hard to remember which episodes are the best.

mjf314

PS: Do you have anything for best TV episodes? I don't have episode lists in my collection, but I just did some googling and found some lists. https://www.ranker.com/list/best-single-episode-of-a-tv-show/ranker-tv (voted by users) https://web.archive.org/web/20051229221736/http://chronicle.augusta....

I'm more interested in a general animation poll. I already have a list of my favorite animated movies, so I can easily participate. A Ghibli or Pixar poll don't seem interesting to me, because there won't be any big surprises. Edit: I just realized the Pixar poll has already been done, so I guess ge...

mjf314

I wouldn't mind seeing the Google Doc, but I probably won't be able to have a discussion about the anime, because I don't remember it that well.

The Rose of Versailles has some similarities with Utena, so I think you'll probably like it.

Here's my list: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls076935033/ As you can see from my list, I'm a big fan of anime and Asian dramas. 4.
