October 2009 Top Picks

Seven pages of content for October which should be a record even if it isn't. This is despite all the web comic stories being removed by Q-Bert's upgrade. Borderlands, Coxxorz' bargains and Half-pint's mortality were the popular topics this month.

Top Stories by Read count:

• 216 reads – The Coxxorz Lazy Sunday Afternoon Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Bi-Weekly Deal of the Day
• 207 reads – The Coxxorz Borderlands Deal of the Week
• 192 reads – Adventures of Akufadumamai

  Our read numbers were down individually but they seemed to be higher across all the stories. Coxxorz' bargains took the top two spots and Akufadumamai beat out Blackwalt's Turtle Beach introduces the Ear Force XLC by one read – 192 to 192. And for two months in a row the top stories headline was almost longer than the story.
