Well folks, I was supposed to put together a list of the top 3 Hey! Look! Listens! of last year. But with over 30 to choose from, I had to up the list to five. Sooo…woo-hoo?

While loyal reader, Darth Gibblet’s suggestion of choosing only my own guest entries was a very tempting idea, this is about honouring that Murfreesboronian Asshole. So here goes.

5 – Hey! Look! Listen! #13
This was the first HLL starring the official banner! Exciting stuff, right? Maybe not. Well otherwise this issue shows off Riddles’ skeptical vicious side when approaching the Metroid Prime/Citizen Kane thing, his wacky side with whatever that last story is about, and one of his better openings with a bizarre blast to the British Office.

4 – Hey! Look! Listen! The Gamescon 2009 Edition
I’m only including this one because Riddles gets way too excited about his impending birthday. It’s a little cute.

3 – Hey! Look! Listen!
Yup! The original. The one that started it all! This is great because although it might showcase humble beginnings, it also features funny and stupid headlines, Arkham Asylum news while it was still far off in the distance, and even Riddles stating that it might be a one-off post. HOW DROLL!

2 – Hey! Look! Listen! #22
This one was great. Riddles’ energy is non-stop, and the sincerity is riding just as high. Plus, there’s an IM conversation between he and I, a rare (and hilarious) MS Paint masterpiece, and pure Riddles editorial throughout. Y’know, the kind in which he starts out as if he’s being objective, but then plows you in the face with his not-so-secretly emotional opinions? That’s why we love the bastard!

1 – Hey! Look! Listen! #6
One word: PS3FTW
