Alright, this is going to be super conceited, but this thread has been in my head all day and I'm going to do a rundown of what I think were *my* best writeups. Feel free to make fun of me - or, alternatively, feel free to do the same, if you want me to feel better about this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Already mentioned the MRD lynch and khaan brought up Campground.

I disliked Capo IV for a variety of reasons, but one of the biggest reasons was that I felt like I had absolutely no control over the game, even when filling in as co-host. The ending was an attempt at catharsis and to re-assume a tiny amount of that control. I feel like I got the mood of the series' ending correct and brought it back to reality, for better or for worse. Anyway, done talking about that game.

The Pirate Ship series is interesting. There was one I remember resonating in the first game but I went back to it and there was a horribly-dated Inglourious Basterds reference in it that I don't want to link to. In terms of Pirate Ship II, I have to mention probably the climax of the entire series: Night 4 where the Frenchman launched a daring attack on the Captain and only just failed. I must also bring up the epilogue of Pirate Ship III and the demise of my favorite role ever: Farewell to the Frenchman.

This lynch writeup in Mafia IX was ridiculous but it happened right after one of the greatest upsets in college basketball history so that allowed me to go ham with it (khaan, the lynchee, was a student at the school that won at the time).

Speaking of ridiculous the Nude Unicyclist kill in Godfather 3 was pretty fun to write.

Finally, let's end this little exercise in self-congratulation with something that people never let me live down afterwards: The Mafia III fake ending. I only did it one more time after that, ever (in Godfather 3, where I learned to allow some time for the fake ending to marinate) but apparently twice was enough for people to continue to not trust my finales for years afterwards.
