Pop Review: MMXIII

This 2013 we had is just about cashed out and I thought we should have a thread where we could talk about our favorite pop culture of the year. If threads like this are verboten then feel free to toss this in the bin, but what can I say, I'm a sucker for lists. And I'll only speak for myself here, but I can confidently say that year-end lists have helped me check out games, music, movies, tv shows, and books that I wouldn't have looked into otherwise.

So yeah, let's rap about what we liked this year. Examples would be the usual suspects: albums, songs, TV shows, movies, games, novels, comics. But hey, if you want to talk about your favorite threads of the year, favorite youtube videos, favorite tweets, even stuff as horrible as your favorite post of the year, favorite awful internet controversy or favorite atrocious internet meme (doge), don't let me stop you. I don't want this first post to get bloated with a bunch of images and youtube clips so maybe I'll post my own opinions later, not that anyone's interested in what I think.

The one request I would make is that, beyond following the usual rules, please don't inline a million youtube videos in your post about how much you loved some artist or album. Use your words to tell us why you loved stuff!
