2kX wasn’t the greatest quantity of posts, and neither was it the greatest in quality. But what it lacks in positives, it counterbalances with negatives. I’m sorry, this introduction isn’t going very well. We wrote some stuff this past year and now we’re going to look back fondly at all of it in preparation for 2kX1, which promises to be 365 days long.  All posts will be ranked on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is 100%.  Please enjoy.

The Top 10 Tiny Gods Posts of 2010

10. “The Coolest Thing Ever” by Pasty

This post from back in late June was filled with angsty anti-Apple complaints plump with sarcasm and accusatory snideness.  This was the single worst post of the year.

9. “Hello from Pax!” by Chuck

This one was relatively content free, provided solely as a landing post for recipients of one the greatest, nay, one of the very greatest buttons distributed to Buttoneers at PAX Prime 2010.  The TinyGods “Smiles Are Free” buttons contains our URL. Whether anyone followed it or not is a mystery for the ages.

8. “Semantic Data” by Pasty

Some products of a frantic sci-fi addled psyche are more useful than others.  This one is just middling in entertainment value but it edges the previous posts in one critical statistic: word length.

7. “Today in ASCII” by Pasty

About as much content as your above-average person’s above-average tweet, this post is notable in that it was on the receiving end of the only non-TinyGod comment of the year.

6. “Tiny Gods Game Jam 2K10” by Mandrake

This is the first in an epic trilogy of GameJam related posts by Mandrake.  The series details the rise and ascent into orbit of the fruit jam of our loins: Planet Escape.

5. “More Jamming of Games” by Mandrake

This status update from the TGGJ2KX formed the 2nd Act of the narrative.  Fun fact: the runners-up for being chosen as our game project were called “Word Escape” and “Chicken Formation”.

4. “We Have Gravity” by Mandrake

Like all great trilogies, this one ends after the third installment.  And what an adventure it was we took together.  With top-notch reporting like this we truly owe Mandrake some sort of Pulitzer for Game Jammery.

3. “Unboxing Photos: Crave Case” by Pasty

Sorry, 10-4, but this one kicks your arses by virtue of having photographs.  They weren’t very good, and they were of a stomach-turning subject matter, but they were worth simply thousands of words.  Crave that case, babies!

2. “Beat ‘Em Up Heaven” by Mandrake

Not for nothing, this was the longest and bestest post of the year 2kX.  Wrap your puny mortal mental prowess around this concept: a review for 3 video games all-in-one. It was fun to read, and you didn’t feel guilty, greasy, or regretful after you finished it.  I give it multiple opposable thumbs.

1. “Top 10 Posts of 2010” by Pasty

What post could be better than this?  All the goodness of the entire year’s corpus of flash-frozen literary gems, condensed here on the manically lit walls of an interweb alleyway.  You may or may not have been good this year, you may or may not deserve this, but the gift has been given and may not be regifted.

See you next year.
