What is WatchMojo? (RECOMMENDATION)



What is WatchMojo?

WatchMojo is basically a website where they give you a top 10 (sometimes top 5) list of any given subject. Yes, it sounds kind of like a 'shrug your shoulders' type of thing, but I have to say it can be pretty awesome. If you ever have any time to kill I say you go on to their youtube channel or their website (WatchMojo.com) and pick the first subject that may interest you and see their list. Personally, I hardly ever agree with the order of their lists, but it is cool to go over the list anyway. They've been at this for years, and DAMN, they have a lot of videos. They do something like 5 videos a day these days so yeah, there is a lot of stuff.

For Example, I just went to their page and here are some that caught my interest:
Top ten...
Martin Scorsese Character Performances, Tianjin Explosion Facts, Anime Deaths, Animated Series based on Video games, Most Evil Women in History.


I can watch all of that. Not at once of course. I don't consider WatchMojo a replacement of traditional television channels where they need to play this for a whole hour. No, this is more of me turning on the video on my phone (propping it up and making sure the speakers are at an angle against a solid surface for better sound) while I'm washing the dishes, cooking, cleaning, or if the wife and kids have the TV and my headphones are in reach.

If you're sitting around and have a little time to spare, I recommend the youtube page or the website for casual viewing. They have Top 10 videos that last from 10-15 mins. Top 5 videos run 5-10 mins. And these quickies which is just a brief rundown of a top 10 list last 1-5 mins. They also have 'History of' videos, biographies, profiles, origins, so on and so on. They have a BROAD range of topics that they have made into lists. Check them out from time to time, you'll get a kick out of them.

Personally, I mostly like the lists where they go over something from my childhood. Like top 10 Nintendo (NES) games, or Sega Genesis games. It brings me back for a brief moment and helps me remember how fun it was to discover these new entertaining challenges that you 'had to beat'. Of course there will come many points where you can't believe a certain item was left out, or if one of the items there was something you never even heard about.

I also bring up the site because I will be peppering them in future posts.

Here is just a few that are fun to check out:

Ugh, I can go on. I'll stop there for now.
