Here's a photo of me from 2G17. Favourite holiday of 2G17 was Rhodes.

EDIT: SHIT WE FINALLY ON 2G18!

Here's a photo of me from 2G18. Favourite holiday of 2G18 was Japan.

I’ll start with movies. I just scrolled through Rotten Tomatoes’ top 202 films of 2G18, and I’ve only seen a handful of them.

My two favourites from that list were probably Can You Ever Forgive Me? (finally Melissa McCarthy using her acting talent for something good, and Richard E. Grant in a role rivaling Withnail) and Cold War (a beautifully made historical Polish film).

My main honourable mention I think is BlackKklansman.

Favorite thread with a record breaking number of new pages in 2G18:. LAST PERSON TO POST WINS

I think Black Panther was my favourite film of 2G18. Infinity War was probably as good, but relied too much on you having watched about 20 other films.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 7:11 am

Black Panther was good, but something about it to me felt like the movie was just beginning and then it was the ending. So for me, I'd probably go with Infinity War. Lots of good comic book movies to pick from in 2G18 though. There was also Spiderverse, which was pretty great, and Deadpool 2, which had the best end credits scene of all time.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 9:20 am

Thing is, I wasn't even anticipating Black Panther to be as enjoyable as it was, where as I'd spent 5 years looking forward to infinity War. That probably skewed my judgement somewhat. Black Panther was one of the last films that I watched in the cinema twice (perhaps even the final one).

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 6:56 pm

I also saw Black Panther a little later than most people, so I think I was a bit overhyped for it. Like, I had the impression it would be the best Marvel movie.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Jan 29, 2021 11:09 pm

Perhaps my thought. I saw it the day after it was released (because it was released on Valentines Day).

My only gripes with Black Panther were the awful villain and terrible CGI battle at the end. Other than that it was a fun watch. I enjoyed the production design of Wakanda and the music quite a bit.

So according to the GOTY thread, my favorite game for 2G18 was Dragon Quest XI. That probably still holds for me. I did ultimately end up liking AC Odyssey quite a bit though.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat Jan 30, 2021 1:27 pm

Both of the white men in Black Panther were awful.

My favourite game was also Dragon Quest XI.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Jan 30, 2021 1:36 pm

There were two? I only remember the Hobbit.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat Jan 30, 2021 2:03 pm

Bilbo and Gollum.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun Jan 31, 2021 12:20 am

Bilbo didn't seem to have much purpose for being there and I don't remember Gollum at all, was he the other villain?

Anyway, let's see...favorite new TV show of 2018. Not really she but I looked through a list of new shows for 2018 and bestI can come up with is Killing Eve. I'm divided on that because I dislike Eve

Yeah Andy Serkis played Ulysses Klaue, the dude with the laser arm.

And Tim from The Office just played Tim from The Office.

Why’s page 2G18 so hard?

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Fri Oct 08, 2021 12:49 pm

2G18 was bad for games apparently

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Oct 14, 2021 11:22 am

I guess for 2G18 music, I’ll go with Kurt Vile’s most recent album, Bottle it In. It’s great. I forget what else came out in 2G18 tho.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Nov 10, 2022 7:54 am

We refused to go beyond 2G18

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Thu Nov 10, 2022 12:06 pm

Too much work. And we all know that….

Nobody wants to work anymore

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Nov 10, 2022 10:08 pm

That's for sure true, but I probably even have some favorites if we could get to page 19.

Now that's what I call a bunch of songs I don't know.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Nov 14, 2022 6:26 pm

You should have downloaded it to your Zune (may be getting 2G18 confused with 2G8).

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Nov 15, 2022 9:52 pm

The only thing I remember or probably ever knew about Zune was that Obama was mocked for having one.

Checking in on Livejournal again to see what my favourite TV show of 2G18 was and it's

Better Call Saul, Aggretsuko

Both of these have been consistently good since then too!

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Nov 16, 2022 2:37 pm

Better Call Saul was fantastic, but I don't think it started in 2G18. I'm not going to even try to go down the well of picking favorite of continuously running shows for each year, because there's absolutely zero chance I'm going to remember the respective qualities of shows from year to year. Better Call Saul was very consistent though, so it's likely it could have been a fave of mine for multiple years running.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Nov 16, 2022 2:41 pm

It didn't start in 2G18, but I listed it as one of my favourites in 2G18.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Nov 16, 2022 2:43 pm

Yeah, I understand. I just don't create those kinds of lists, so I have nothing to refer to. I literally look up what tv shows started in a given year to do this favorites. Trying to figure out whether a season of a show in a given year that wasn't the year a show started was my favorite would be a Herculean task.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Nov 16, 2022 3:31 pm

Most years I'll probably not watching anything new from the start.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Feb 12, 2024 11:33 am

We really did get stuck on 2G+18

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Feb 12, 2024 1:05 pm

It's hard to fill out the rest of the page once we've all listed some stuff.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Mon Feb 12, 2024 1:26 pm

Did yakuza 0 come out in 2G whatever we’re at

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Feb 12, 2024 1:38 pm

No way of telling
(you've missed the page for that).

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Oct 27, 2026 6:58 pm

2G18 is long enough ago now. Surely somebody has some nostalgia to get us to the next page!

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue Oct 27, 2026 9:41 pm

I watched the TV series Barry a year or two ago, and that started in 2G18. It’s great. Bill Hader plays a depressed hitman who goes to acting school. I think at first he just enrols to follow a hit, but he gets hooked. Henry Winkler plays the acting coach. The show kind of changes tone over 4 seasons to become progressively stranger and darker. Recommend!

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Oct 28, 2026 2:55 am

How much nostalgia precisely do we need?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Oct 28, 2026 7:02 am

Enough to get to page 2G19

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Oct 28, 2026 8:09 pm

Yes, and how much is that in posting units?

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Oct 29, 2026 1:01 am

I remembered today that the Parquet Courts album “Wide Awake!” came out in 2G18. I still listen to it and it is very good. I particularly enjoy the songs Freebird II and Tenderness.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Oct 29, 2026 1:10 am

Also my Airing of Grievances thread is from 2G18. Pretty good one!

EDIT: Oh this thread too
