Blog #3: MEGALODON! (Spoilers, and maybe sharks) by stupidlikeafox

Third place this week goes to Best of the Blogs veteran stupidlikeafox. This one's another light-hearted blog that goes in-depth on the Megalodon (Or “Meg”), a giant prehistoric shark that can swallow a yacht whole. Also included in the blog is some brief commentary on the movie Shark Attack III: Megalodon and a Megalodon theme song. Check out what some commenters had to say about this blog below.

”Megaladon is awesome. I liked the guy on the jet skis death the bestest.” by Ubercuber

”where would i find this movie it sounds cool” by alienhominid

Blog #2: How to make a Superman game by Julio-Hyksos

Coming in at number two is Julio-Hyksos with a blog that touches on movie/comic video game cross-overs of everyone's favorite man in tights, Superman. Julio also goes on to explain in detail how he would make an awesome Superman game and having read through them, it seems he may be on to something of a solid foundation for an enjoyable Superman title.

Here are some examples of the discussion this sparked in the comments.

”Destructible Environments would make it really fun, so when you dont feel like playimg through the story you could just cruise around the city/countryside destroying what you want how you want. Although that isnt a very hero like thing to do.. And the idea about switching between characters is cool” by Koopa18

”Its hard to make a good game/ Movie with superman as hes too 'good'. And doesnt have any decent villains. I like the investigating idea. But the problem is, if they give Superman all his powers, there literally shouldnt be a challenge in the game at all. Someone goes to punch/shoot him? super speed...and the whole man of steel thing. Now, a Captain Marvel game where you play as Billy Baxter as well.....” by Ubercuber

”what about a villian who can match him better ie. doomsday or darkseid - you know, someone who'll put up one hell of a fight!” from stupidlikeafox

Blog #1: Let's talk Tim Rogers by Donutta

Taking the top spot this week is Donutta with a interesting and well written blog on Tim Rogers, self professed video game journalism rockstar. As Donutta himself disclaimed in the introduction, if you don't who Tim Rogers is you probably won't find this blog terribly interesting. However, as someone that knows who Tim Rogers is I think I'm qualified to say this is a great blog and well worth the read.

Here's a small sample of what some people had to say about this blog.

”While I haven't read any of Tim Rogers' recent work, I do remember reading his MGS2 piece entitled "Dreaming in an empty room" a long time ago over at Insert Credit, and I quite enjoyed it. In it he manges to do everything you mentioned he does, from wanking on about his knowledge of obscure Japanese literature to name-droping industry giants he's met with, but that seemed to be part of his charm.

It is sad to hear about the conduct of some his fans though, but hey, some people are just douche bags.” from JTO

”Great blog, Liam. I completely understand your frustrations and I think your insights into Rogers and gaming journalism are eloquently written.” by luce
