Unofficial Monsters’ Ball for April 8, 2011
Note: I’m not going to list any kind of editor’s choice or a lowest voted because as Gabe said, “it would be a shame to tarnish Videogum’s anniversary with something so callow and divisive as to play favorites while also singling out individuals for shame.” I will, however, list the top five and the caption winner.

Videogum Song Contest Rules & FAQ
Yo pogs. Gonna repost the rules ( see http://videogum.com/218321/announcing-the-videogum-song-contest/contests/ ) and explain some other things.
Write a song about Videogum. It can be about a specific post, or a specific commenter, or Sad Keanu, or in-jokes, or anything you can relate to Videogum. It could be a theme song, an ode to Topher Grace, or a Double Rainbow tribute. It is your song, so it...

Unofficial Monsters' Ball for July 23, 2010
Eh. I was ambivalent about calculating a Monsters’ Ball for this week firstly because it’s an incomplete week, and secondly because my calculations may very well have overlooked someone. (Please do correct me if you suspect an error.)
But given the number of great, 100+ quips, I think it’d be a shame not to acknowledge some of the classic comments this week. I decided to go through and tally...
You Can Make It Up: Gabe Delahaye and Max...
It was the first official day of Comic-Con 2010. The sky was still as gray and dark, as it was only 4:30 a.m. Gabe Delahaye and Max Silvestri parked their rental car, a Sahara Sand 2003 Toyota Camry, in the special Hulk Smash/H8 section reserved for visiting pop-culture bloggers. They walked up to the gargantuan entrance to the legendary Hall H, where classic films of years past had debuted, like...

Videogum T-Shirt
I had a few people inquire about how to get a T-shirt like the one I wore to the Chicago Videogum meet-up. Unfortunately, it’d be a bit pricey: $25 with tax, not including shipping. But if you’d still like to see about getting one for yourself, send an e-mail to Aaron (the guy who designed it for me) at graphics@express-press.net . Ask about the “stupid lamp” shirt or the...

Unofficial Monsters' Ball for March 5
Because there was never an official Monsters’ Ball for March 5, I decided to go through and tally scores myself from March 1 (Monday) through March 4 (Thursday). Some scores on Friday, March 5 were counted for the March 12 MB, so I didn’t calculate that day in.

Images in the Comments: A Guide for Videogum
1a. Finding an image
I’ve collected gifs for a couple years now, long before I started regularly commenting on Videogum. If you google “animated gifs,” I soon noted, you’d end up at a lot of commercial sites with lame gifs. The best way to find gifs was to google something like <animated gifs forums> or <animated gifs threads> or <favorite animated gifs>...
