My #49 is very a very obvious choice, but actually wasn't on my list last year. However, I famously did a sort of playthrough of a similar game and shared it with VGChartz until Hurricane Sandy ruined my save data.

Dammit, everyone's guessed each others clues before I had a chance.

BTW Hurricane Sandy, how did that ruin your save? Did your house flood or something?

P.S. This is why I love living in Toronto. Hurricanes that rip apart Florida, and even mess up New York/New Jersey either turn east before they get here (Sandy hit Halifax moderately hard), or the settle out and become a very light thunderstorm. No earthquakes, no hurricanes, and it's warmer here then Vermont, Washington, Montana, etc because we're either more south then them, or just lower in elevation. We're literally New York, but with better roads, less polutions, less smokers, less crime, and a temperature difference of just 2-3 degree F.......sorry about the rant, my girlfriend just wnet to New York, and her New York Family thought Toronto was like a farm.....Toronto is bigger then Chicago, and 4th largest in North America.

Luckily, my household managed to escape flooding, thanks to a combination of where the storm hit precisely, our position atop a hill, and there being most of Long Island in the way. I lost power while using my computer with the emulator running in the background. For some reason, this corrupted the save file I was using. I think I technically could have gone back and replayed the 5 or 6 hours erased, but I really wasn't in the mood after half of my team died against Erika. Plus, the post-Sandy world was a bit complicated in my neck of the woods, meaning that even if everything went ideally, I'd have had to take a few week hiatus anyway.

Incidentally, I'm doing another Nuzlocke run now, in HeartGold, but I'm doing it fairly privately this time. Keeping it a bit more intimate, and on my own schedule.

As for New Yorkers thinking Toronto is a farm village... well, this is a combination of two unfortunate trends. Americans in general tend to overlook Canada and Canadian things in general, even though Canada is not exactly insignificant. The whole "America's Cap" joke and all that. New York makes it worse, however, because we're under the impression that we're the capitol of the world. In a sense we are, what with the stock exchange and UN headquarters and whatnot. But as a whole, New Yorkers tend to think that the world in general is a fairly small, dense place, and there's little of importance outside of the metropolitan area.

In other words...

Be glad you warrant a place on the map.
