Mister Adequate's List Of Videogames

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I never said it was a comprehensive list of video game lists.

Ending the list with Journey was a stroke of genius. A fitting coda to what is undoubtedly a list of videogames.

Why not some more? We can't say for sure how Mister Adequate's list stacks up to other lists of video games, but we can compare his letter usage to the English language as a whole. (Letter frequency stats from Robert Lewand's Cryptological Mathematics, via Wikipedia)

That's colorful and fun, but the lining-up makes it hard to really see what's going on. Here's a more statistical approach, including a logarithmic y-axis!

Mister Adequate's list makes use of rare letters like J, X, and Z much more than common English, with Z appearing almost eight times as much as would be expected. Conversely, H gets positively shafted, appearing about one-third as much as we might expect. Of course, the data are still skewed in this graph, because you can't get back to the absolute scale - it might be more suitable to make the bars wider for more common letters and thinner for rarer letters.

I wonder, did I do this deliberately, or is it merely the result of games often being titled with either unusual letters (Qix) or XTREEM spellings (Xen: Intergalactic Ninja)?

[Sephex]

Okay, it's been a day. Hux, look at the fourth from the bottom on my rearranged list of your list.

[Madame Adequate]

What about Bunghole's Fantasy Adventures?

[Sephex]

I just find it real cool that it is on your list! I wanted to point that out again because this is a list!

[Madame Adequate]

I'm very happy for you

Poor H.

Someone needs to do an extensive 'H Centric' list to correct this injustice.

Those were certainly some posts from metagloria. He clearly showed that Mister Adequate's list of video games contained various letters. That is definitely information.

There are lot of lists of video games posted on EoFF, but the more I read Mister Adequate's list, the more I realize that this is undoubtedly one of them.

That is most certainly a list, and it most certainly has 59 video game titles in it. All in all, quite a difficult feat, and I feel we can agree this is an outstanding effort.

[Spuuky]

Actually the cut-off for outstandingness is 60 games. His list is decidedly just "great."

Nah, even multiples of ten are just too generic. If he needed to go higher, he'd need at least 61.

I definitely agree that it was an effort to put together this list.

[Quindiana Jones]

Absolutely. And, if nothing else, there is a list here and it was made.
