Calamity

Battle of the Pop Punk Bands A game similar to what Zuckerberg created pre-Facebook. Essentially there’s a list of 129 pop punk / pop-punk adjacent bands (I was a little loose on genre) in a battle arena. The game will put 2 random bands side by side and you pick which one you like more. The winner’s ranking goes higher and the loser goes lower. It uses Elo ranking (similar to chess) so an underdog beating a heavy favorite means more than beating someone with an equal rating. There’s a sample of the top song on Apple Music of each band under the 2 combatants so you can do a quick preview (or a deeper dive if you wish) for bands you are not familiar with. There’s also a leaderboard that shows the current live ranking of each band. It’s hosted on blink-182 fan site (so for Blink fans there a battle of the best songs and then another separate battle for their side project songs). There’s also a fan battle area where you can upload a YouTube video of your own band and compete there (it’s beta right now so let me know if any issues). Either way - here’s the link to the Pop Punk Battle Arena: https://blink-182.net/pop-punk-arena There’s a plan to update the images at a later date but that will take some time to get them all done.

If you scroll the the bottom with the leaderboard, that black box is a drop down to filter leaderboard by album. (I have to fix the text color there.) Was very surprised to see All of This at the bottom of untitled although#74 overall.

Yeah I can remove them this weekend. I have adblocker so sometimes forget about them

It started as a forums mainly because Invision Community gave me the ability to allow song reviews and ratings - but that didn’t take off. Then I decided I wanted to create this game instead - so yeah the forums are dead and not meant to be a competition. i did just create the side projects version for AvA, Boxcar Racer, +44, and Simple Creatures at https://blink-182.net/side-projects

Hi All - I created a Blink-182 Best Song game that is arena style where 2 songs are randomly displayed side by side and you pick your favorite. It’s rapid fire. There’s a snippet of each song that can play below the 2 options and it uses ELO ranking and has a full leaderboard. Just released it so in the early stages but wanted some initial thoughts. https://blink-182.net
