Not to be pedantic (not sure that's the word) but don't we have an Earth-2 greatest videogames thing to run down first? Granted, that's not a tournament, it's just the video game element of the tournament that reminded me of it.

That's one of those projects we'll get to eventually, but is too big for the site as it stands. (Basically, I need a lot of help nominating the games, compiling the final list and writing snippets about each title.)

I wasn't aware of this previously, but I'll offer my services for that.


BTW, cvskin, there was a Vandal Hearts 2, not to mention there's an adaptation coming to the DS.

Yes I know, I should have worded the member title better. Isn't the DS version just a port of the first Vandal Hearts, anyways?

Other than the videogame tournament, whatever happend to the horror-movie villian tournamnet?

It wasn't a tournament per se. It was slated to be an article.

After tallying all of the votes, I handed it off to Cash (he was going to write mini bios for each villain), but work, school and personal issues have put it on the shelf.

If/when the greatest game list ever gets off the ground, I'd gladly compile the stats, write blurbs about the games, and whatever else you need help with. It still really interests me.

Very cool. Thanks.

I've considered shrinking the list down to 25 (five games over five days), but we'll see when the time comes.

I guess this is as good a place as any to let you all know we will still do the anime characters tourney. I've been working here and there on it and I may trim it down to 32 characters. I haven't decided yet.

As I'm sure everyone else had, as well. (Not that I blame you, mind you; it's my fault anyway.)

Love the old school suggestions, Lee! :yes:

Tyson almost made my original list. Dude was a badass for sure!

As for Sonic... I don't know. He's cool and has attitude, but I just don't see him as a badass. Can you make a case for him?
