Reader Poll: What Was the Best Video Game of 2016? (You Might Win a Free T-Shirt!)

Well here we are. Just about the reach the final stretch in 2016, and this leaves us with many pop culture, geek related questions. Though many will be posed to our readers over next month, I wanted to start with the the geek aspect I love most:

Gaming.

2016 had some killer games drop, definitely the strongest showing of the eighth gaming generation yet, but out of all the phenomenal games that dropped in 2016, which one rose to the top of the crop? Did the jaw-dropping visuals and constant action of Uncharted 4 do it for you? Or perhaps the non stop madness and carnage of the newest Doom? Maybe you like your stuff a little more stealth, so maybe Dishonored 2 or the newest Deus Ex was your favorite. Truth is, this is not about our favorite. We want to know what YOU readers thought, all ages and genders! Heck, maybe you are an Overwatch fan who puts 16 hours a day into it, either way, we love you and your opinion is valid.

So tell us GeeksAreSexy readers, what was the very best video game of 2016? The person who writes the coolest answer will receive a shout out in an upcoming article and a free t-shirt from our store!. Boom, so take to those comments and let us know!

You Have 6 Months to Live [Comic]

The second season of Stranger Things will likely air during Summer 2017 based on the time season 1 was released, but nothing has been confirmed so far. In a recent interview (early November) with Collider, director Shawn Levy declaired: “You can do a little bit of math, we’re not magicians so there’s no way it launches in spring since I just admitted we started filming today, and we’re doing nine.”

Exploring the Arctic’s Global Seed Vault

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault (Norwegian: Svalbard globale frøhvelv) is a secure seed bank on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen near Longyearbyen in the remote Arctic Svalbard archipelago, about 1,300 kilometres (810 mi) from the North Pole. Conservationist Cary Fowler, in association with the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), started the vault to preserve a wide variety of plant seeds that are duplicate samples, or “spare” copies, of seeds held in gene banks worldwide. The seed vault is an attempt to insure against the loss of seeds in other genebanks during large-scale regional or global crises. The seed vault is managed under terms spelled out in a tripartite agreement between the Norwegian government, the Global Crop Diversity Trust (GCDT) and the Nordic Genetic Resource Center (NordGen).
