It’s time to look at the most popular posts on the blog over the last year. I was a little more apathetic about updating this year and my traffic suffered accordingly, dropping off by ~4,000 hits. The top posts haven’t changed too much, but here goes:
Top Posts Remixed Objection, No Yakuza 3?, L4D2 (Again), and Pokémon Cosplay [Game Overview] (402)
I know precisely why this link is top of the list. It features a stunning picture of Jessica Nigri very liberally cosplaying a Pikachu. It seems sex sells. Surprise!
The Great American Ballpark Tour: Citizens Bank Park Review [Wednesday Morning Quarterback] (391)
My ballpark review was featured in an article talking about the ivy on Citizens Bank Park’s walls and the site was flooded with viewers.
Great Dwarf Fortress Stories [PC] (347)
I guess Dwarf Fortress is still niche-y and hard to find content about online. Surprise, haha.
Mother 3 Review [Big N] (304 )
I’m still super proud of this review. It was something I worked really hard on and I think it’s one of my better reviews.
Game Overview: The Villains of Final Fantasy Week 6 (114)
I can’t believe how many hits these things still get despite it being far from what I do on this blog any more. Interesting.
Runners Up:
Otakon 2010 [Photographic Memory] The Villains of Final Fantasy Week 10 [Game Overview] White Guilt and The Help [FB]
Otakon always gets tons of hits come con time, but the popularity of both The Help and talking about how quasi-racist it was got that post tons of hits on my blog that have tapered off since release.
2011 Hit Totals By Month
Jan: 3,248 Feb: 2,460 Mar: 2,384 Apr: 2,722 May: 2,599 Jun: 1,960 Jul: 2,321 Aug: 2,111 Sep: 2,068 Oct: 2,412 Nov: 2,031 Dec: 2,360 Total: 28,676
I can understand the hit drop off in 2011 based on how much I kept up with blogging. We’ll see if I’m more on top of things in 2012.
