Data Porn: Giant Bomb October

October has come and gone so let's look back at what got this community excited.  But first, give it up for the top wiki mods for sifting through all those wiki submissions.  If we had a way to measure the input of forum mods I would show that too because those guys are always working hard on policing the wiki for plagiarism, banning porn spammers and answering questions on the bug and edit forums.  So yay mods!
    

 Once again our charts are whacked, Danguy probably should read Zombiepie?

Fallout: New Vegas Dominates Giant Bomb's Attention

Take a gander at the bar charts below.  No big surprise here, Fallout: New Vegas is the clear winner -- dominating the conversations on user blogs.  Click to expand the two smaller bar charts below and you'll find Fallout: New Vegas was also the second most watched Quick Look (watch here) and the second most visited wiki page.

Loving these stats - haven't seen anything like this before so it's really interesting to know the rough view count on most GB videos etc.

Completely agree. No idea why Ethan keeps us around, we just sit around in our mod board sharing LOLcat images and making inappropriate jokes all the time!  All jokes aside though, some mods simply prefer to focus solely on reviewing wiki submissions which works out well for everyone because it means we've always got a few dedicated individuals handling that sort of stuff. Which allows the rest of us to focus on cleaning up the absolute shit storm left by the plague of spammers we've had on the site for the last few months now. "
Thanks for covering us, Hamz!  ;) "
Might I add that according to Ethan's other data I'm also the most followed(popular) moderator on this site as well ;)
 
But no, in all seriousness as Hamz said the graph is specifically catered to wiki moderations and as such does not paint the entire picture. Also we have various mods who assist in ways that are not intrinsically visible to the average user, but are still important in their own right in the moderation process on this site.

@Brackynews: The link only appears if the game has a release date listed and that date has already passed. Ideally it would also show the link if user reviews already exist, but that would probably require more queries that would would just be wasteful in most cases.

@LordAndrew:  Speaking of Minecraft, any idea why there is no link generated on the page to the user reviews?  Yet it has a DLC page. /cries
Does that happen elsewhere?   I didn't even know there were any others until I posted mine.
 
@CitizenKane: Try our delicious exploding pie charts. They'll knock your socks off!  Off, I say!
 
@Hamz:  Just want to say thanks for keeping the spam in check. Ya know ya hit the big time when...
Are any mods focused solely on the image galleries, or is that all rolled in to wiki duties?

Right, i also find it surprising that SMB tops the list, because of the game's niche appeal compared to the games it's up against.

Even for enthusiast sites I would say GB audience skews more hardcore though.  Can't see your average gamespot or IGN user sitting through 100 hours of Persona 4.

On the other hand it was one of the most entertaining quick looks in recent memory, so perhaps that answers the question.

Thanks for sharing.

But: Please don't use 3D charts if the third dimension doesn't really visualize anything. So most of the time, just don't use 3D charts. Also, there's no need to color the bars when there's already labels directly underneath them, it just makes them a bit harder to compare.

Bonus points, on the other hand, for avoiding pie charts - my shit would be boiling.

Good to see quick looks are popular - although it must irk those who spent 5 hours writing a review.  QL is the most unique thing GB offers over other sites.
