It's really weird that I was listening to a podcast the other day (can't remember which one, there's so many in my queue) and they were talking about the relationship between Aunt May and Doc Ock. And damned if a Spiderman strip with Doc Ock and Aunt May doesn't show up in this game. I'm really getting weirded out over here. It's such a particularly Spider-Man specific scenario too, one of his worst enemies dating his Aunt. You would never see Lady Shiva try to get to Batman by going steady with Alfred or, I dunno, Vandal Savage's dog becoming buddies with Krypto.

Surprised how well Pearls Before Swine did. Certainly not complaining about that result though.

==================================================================== ====================================================================It's 11:59 and 59 seconds. This happens on Netflix every single day...For a service that has hundreds of millions of viewers, my guess is that the number of people who are aware of that creepfest are few and far between. Who knew that "Intimate Water-Stroking Films" was among the suggested Netflix categories on the main menu? Contestants, tell us, what other little known Easter eggs might be out there on Netflix? Mr. B: The "raising the white flag" footage in case of the ascension to the throne of a new internet overlord: Angelfire.Com Insta-Gif-Video! Pink Shirt Mod: The actual contents of Al Capone's vault: a copy of Miley Cyrus's "Party in the USA" on vinyl and a bottle of Zima. fw91: Entering the Konami Code gives you infinite Days of Our Lives. ------------------------------------- Welcome to World Series of Pop Culture STAGE FIVE. It's ROUND TWENTY-TWO! CHOICE #1AND THEN SHE WALKED INAND THEN SHE WALKED INThis theme is open to any medium of Pop Culture.Contestants, in this round, we are looking for a grand entrance. It can be singular person or multiple people. Basically, we are looking for a moment in which someone makes an entrance into a scene or location that earns attention. The chosen entry needs to be less than 6 minutes if in video form. ----------------------------------------- CHOICE #2THE ANTI-POP OF POP CULTURETHE ANTI-POP OF POP CULTUREThis theme is open to any Pop Culture reference, but is YOUTUBE-SPECIFIC.The category is an experiment with our players' pop culture knowledge and awareness. The task here to choose a clip from YouTube that features any celebrity/celebrities in a video that has less than 10,000 hits on YouTube. Try to remain true to the Pop Culture theme and avoid something like a fan video that shakes every .0000043 seconds because they happened to see Tom Hanks walking down the street. In essence, you're searching for a hidden gem that just not that many people are aware of. Any celebrity (or group of celebrities) will fit this theme, but be aware of the 10,000 hit limit. Now, something very important is that there are sometimes two, three, or four videos of the same exact thing all over YouTube, so do not circumvent the nature of the round by picking something like the "Schweddy Balls" skit from Saturday Night Live, but you scrounge for somebody that only has less than 10,000 hits of that video while there are others looming on YouTube with many more hits. Um, no. There are other versions out there that have well over 10,000 views so it's out. Again, the nature of the round is to find a Pop Culture target in a featured video that is not-so-pop(ular) and is seen in its original state/footage/recording. PLEASE do not misinterpret this as "only 10,000 people are aware of this footage." It's simply a YouTube representation of something featuring a celebrity that happens to have only 10,000 hits or less. I could give you several examples, but that might influence your creativity and that's the last thing I want to do here. I trust that everyone can be knowledgeable and resourceful for this one. It's going to be something way more than 10,000 people know about, so don't overthink this. The 10,000 hit limit is just a way of making a category of footage that is not OVERexposed. Also, it pushes you to scrounge about your Pop Culture knowledge bank. CHOICE #3KIDS SHOWS FROM THE 80sKIDS SHOWS FROM THE 80sThis theme is specific to the Pop Culture Medium of TELEVISION.Contestants, in the theme of direct decades round, this is another category where the title says it all (I think). We do not want films. We want a clip from an episodic show that targets pre-adults (AKA "kids"). This is all about the 80s kids shows. Choose a clip from a 1980s kids that is less than 6 minutes in length. (Yes, it's something adults can appreciate too. But the general audience target should be kids. If it's not a kids show, you'll hear back from me.) There is a million different ways you can go with this, as the term IS general on purpose.

Yeah, that second category is proving to be quite the challenge. I should have my picks in here soon though.

I don't believe you. {Spoiler}No worries. With your timeliness the whole game, you've earned about a week's worth of ice emergency time. Stay safe. #EatPorkAndBeans

Geez. Looking at that list in the first post, or linking up with the round by round links from that first post, these players have all played such a freaking good game. I love it.

While we are waiting, just a program note for all those still keeping up and our contestants. Just wanted to add to the tension as we come to a close with this game. After the results of this round, we have one round left in stage six. There are two possibilities for the elimination round. Keep those two scenarios in mind as well. After next round, if our eilimination round is a thing, this sets us up for the finale. Unlike some of our games, this is a three person ring of death finale. So that means we have next round, A potential elimination round, and a full-fledged multicategory finale. So basically two gaming rounds left, not counting the elimination round. We are close to naming a winner. I'm pretty pumped about it.

ROUND 22 RESULTSAfter one round of our Semi-Finals Stage Six, some ground had to be made up while others had valuable leads that could secure a ticket to the finale. With leads to protect and mountains to be climbed, all four had to dig deep in another set of diverse categories. And they did not disappoint. Picks from a wide range once again tickled the judges' fancies. AND THEN SHE WALKED INIn this category, contestants featured a character or set of characters with grand entrances. A serious statement needed to be made in this first of three rounds. And a mighty statement it was... {Spoiler} --------------------------- THE ANTI-POP OF POP CULTUREFor this category, we wanted to stay true to the Pop Culture theme, but to mix it up a little bit, we wanted a look at someone everyone knows, but featured in a capacity that maybe is not as seen as some of the other work. Less than 10,000 hits on YouTube was a requirement, and again , we have some very nice rare gems. {Spoiler} ---------------------------- KIDS SHOWS OF THE 80sThe decades round was the capper. Have gaps been closed enough up to this point, or would it be this third choice that sealed the deal on an interested set of results. If you like nail-biters, look no further. After Round 22, the leaderboard now looks like this with one round to go before our Finale... {Spoiler}
