As you probably know already (if you ended up here) we here at The Talk Shoppe like to cap off the year with our largest annual production: The Megasode. In The Megasode, we strategically pick our top entries in several categories to build a complete list of our favorite things in a given year. This post is something we haven’t done since the dark days.

Basically, this post is a comprehensive guide to our, at times, incomprehensible Megasode. Also featured here are our complete individual lists. We figured we’d toss them in on the off chance you actually care about things we enjoy and may want some recommendations. So without any further wasted characters, here are our complete Megasode lists for each category and the final list.
