P.S. Not so much the Rise segment I have a problem with, but risers who dissapear soon after.

That’s considerably more than a lot of famous retail titles, including Patapon:

or even Madden NFL 09 All-Play on the Wii!

And I don’t think we’d consider them for musical misfits…

The Musical Misfit was pretty cool, but once again, I’m confused. Harvest Moon is a pretty well-known series, so does that mean the music is supposed to be more vague? Or perhaps just from an older game?

Okay, I forgot to respond to this so I will now.

I’ve always taken a Musical Misfit as a song that few people have heard. No matter the game. Hence my Castle Crashers suggestion. And to answer your question about Harvest Moon’s popularity…I’d have to say no actually. It has a pretty loyal fanbase, but it’s pretty small. Not to mention I was the one who recorded and posted that song because no one else had yet.

And based on something very abstract, too. It’s based on the loyalty of readers? Like you can mathematically determine someone’s loyalty by looking at their join date, post count, etc?

Yeah, I’d say so. If they have tons of comments it’s because they’re on the site constantly. I’d file that under loyal. Maybe not so much the join date, but yeah.

And if you ask me, ranks are a good way to encourage new members because they know if they comment on a regular basis they’ll get access to some spiffy items.
