    Secret of Mana should be higher up.

    ...or lower down.

    I intended to list the game in the "complete" sense, i.e. with all expansions, but I did not feel the list was fit for the whole lot to be listed.

    Great work, your video game list was riveting. It did make me think of a few questions.
    1. What was your favorite part of the video game list?
    2. Do you think you could post some screenshots of the video game list?
    3. What video game list do you think you've spent the most time on?

    The best part about this list is the individual items on the list. They are listed one by one, which is very easy to read. I read it and completely agreed that it was a list of video games.

    My favorite part was the part where I listed a series of video games, I would have to say.
    I will try to provide screenshots for you tomorrow, though I can't promise I'll get around to it.
    Almost certainly this video game list.

    I strongly considered including Demon's Souls on my list of video games, but ultimately decided against it. I felt it would be a somewhat trite addition - the list already contains a considerable number of video games, so what would the Souls series add other than an entry not otherwise there? However, I am open to reasons I should include said game or games within a list of video games.

    e; I respect your opinion Sephex, and I thank you for contributing to my thread in such a fashion! You have given me much to think about; I shall take your list into consideration.

    I've been thinking a lot about another related topic to this, but I don't think it warrants a thread. Here is my list of video game lists. I hope that we can all agree that this is in fact a list of video game lists.

    Like all good video game lists, if you take the first letter of every game and put those in a list as well... you'll get a list of letters.

    shion + sharky also did a combined list, and NeoCracker did a list as well - although I can understand why you would leave out the latter one.

    Our combined list didn't work out because I lost it when my laptop died

    It was inferior to my personal list though of course

    I thought people might be interested in a more in-depth analysis of Mister Adequate's list, so I put together some data.

    mradq1.PNG
    Here is a letter and character frequency chart of the titles in his list. Fantastically, Mister Adequate covers the full scope of the alphabet (even Q!), as well as branching out into six numbers (5, 7, 8, and 9 get slighted) and four characters (apostrophe, comma, period, and colon).

    mradq2.PNG
    Sorting the graph by frequency helps visualize the ordering of things. Mister Adequate tends to favor "A" and "E", which is perhaps unsurprising since these are the most common letters in the English language. Somewhat unexpectedly, "R" beats out favorite consonants "S" and "T" as well as other vowels for third place. The Wheel of Fortune set - R, S, T, L, N E - are all in the top ten, though "L" falls below "D". "2" is the most common numeral, owing to the prevalence of sequels.

    I hope you find this post a contribution to this discussion!

    Thank you very much for that analysis of my list of video games, metagloria! It is a collection of statistics.
