August 2009 Top Picks

Five pages of content for August, back up to our usual average. The two predominant themes this month were Half-pint's latest brush with death illness and Batman Arkham Asylum. Call of Duty Zombie mode hardly made an appearance.

Top August Stories by Read count:

• 312 reads – Here is something...
• 205 reads – Does this theme make me look fat?
• 140 reads – Coxxorz's Bargain Corner – 08172009

  Our read numbers were lower this month. Disasterpiece's run in with a crazed maniac (not a mirror, a separate crazed maniac), our site redesign caused some controversy, who knew? and Coxxorz's Bargain corner being hijacked to talk about Wal-mart's price break on Batman Arkham Asylum.

Top August Stories by Comments:

• 21 comments – Does this theme make me look fat?
• 19 comments – Here is something...
• 16 comments – Battelstar Galactica - A (short) Retrospective review

  Out comment numbers were about average. I always like to reward stories with spelling mistakes in the headline (third place), Disasterpiece's other crazed maniac, and the controversial site redesign again.

Half-pint's top picks:

• Half-pint vs. the Vet. Round 2
  This is the one where the vet starts to think he has a chance.
• Screw Fido
  Star Wars and Zombies! I said, Star Wars and Zombies! Hello?
• So close
  Add the word Zombie and you would have had the best story ever.
