Hello there!
Has everyone already flipped the calendar page? January 2026, despite its frosty brevity, has left us with much to appreciate.
Amidst the quiet of the winter weeks, life on the site went on as usual: you crafted intricate tournaments, tested your wits in quizzes, took on challenges, and shared your thoughts. We've gathered the brightest outcomes of that work.
Let’s take a look at what made the first month of the year memorable — here are the works that especially stood out.

Think you have a favorite color? Try choosing just one from 1024 meticulously selected shades. In this massive tournament, you’ll face impossible choices at every turn. Is that really your blue, or is the one two clicks ago over just a hint more perfect? Click by click, you’ll whittle down a rainbow until only your true color remains.
It’s a meditation in hue and a surprisingly deep dive into what draws your eye. Even 1024 options, as Autizm notes, feel like a grain of sand in the universe of color, but it's more than enough to reveal your true preferences.

128 players. Different eras, different heritage, one question: who stands above all? It's not just the stats that matter in this tournament, but also the players who made you stop and watch them. Legends whose names still give you goosebumps, and current stars who rewrite the rules of the game every week.
Every match is an argument with yourself. Who do you prefer: timeless classics or explosive modern talent? An experienced finisher or a magical playmaker? Vote for votes and you will create your own true football icon based on a century of greatness.

Ricardio — our chief pop-culture archivist. He is setting the agenda once again. This time, he offers the toughest task yet: to evaluate the year that has just stormed by.

Ready to name the ultimate hit of 2025?

Imanikagross is in a decidedly romantic mood, and she’s inviting you to revisit the most iconic «I do» moments in cinematic history. This is about the dress that made you believe in the scene. Will it be Lily van der Woodsen’s elegant sheath from Gossip Girl, the fake dress of Katniss Everdeen, or the fantastical gown Glinda wore in Wicked?

For real collectors and fans of the Marvel cinematic universe. The author of ncdplv turned this test into a virtual gallery of rare editions featuring books from the Marvel cinematic universe, X-Men, and even Sony films. Here you choose a true work of art. Which cover impresses you the most and makes you want to buy it, even if you've already seen the movie?

Dastish knows everyone has that Pixar film — the one that once broke your heart or left you feeling warm inside. In this tournament, there are no wrong answers, only personal stories. Monsters, Inc. or Coco? Up or The Incredibles? Every click is a memory. The author reminds us: Pixar is about comfort, and only you decide which of its worlds feels most like home.

Levon approached this with ambition: he curated a selection based on IMDb ratings and widespread acclaim. Here, iconic titles from different eras and styles face off. Will it be the ruthless intrigue of Game of Thrones, the meth-making tension of Breaking Bad, or the royal drama of The Crown?

We believe this tournament is a tribute to the charming faces who defined the image of the cinema screen a hundred years ago and impressed with their look and elegant silhouette. vampvelvette invites you to a glamorous retrospective of the cinematic beauty of the era of silent films and early sound cinema. Who embodied the ideal of that unforgettable decade: Greta Garbo, Louise Brooks, or perhaps a lesser-known star?

Vladimir brings a bucket of ice-cold reality to the fever dream of interstellar colonization. In this sharp post, he breaks down exactly why packing up for Mars is closer to fantasy than science. Deadly radiation, bones that dissolve in zero-g, and a heart that forgets how to pump.
While we’re dreaming of other worlds, we’ve only mapped 5% of our own ocean floor. Conclusion is as clear as it is brutal: we’re not ready to escape Earth, we’re barely equipped to understand it.

Wikipedia just turned 25 — and sasha-go is here to throw a little digital party. With over 62 million articles across 300+ languages, this free, non-profit project remains one of the internet’s last pure miracles. The post is a warm reminder of Wikipedia’s quietly revolutionary role. Yes, we’ve all heard the jokes about trusting it in school, but where else can you fall into a rabbit hole at 2 a.m., learning about Mongolian throat singing or the history of pencils?

Kinofil faces the Oscars with the snarky, informed energy of a seasoned critic. His breakdown is a masterclass in sharp, personal commentary — a heated debate with the Academy itself.He openly admits skipping the shorts, but dives deep into the technical awards. He questions the logic behind nominating 'Sirat' for sound, champions the racing drama 'F1' as a frontrunner in editing and sound, and praises the cinematography in 'Frankenstein' and 'Train Dreams'. This is a refreshingly candid look at the awards through the eyes of someone who cares.
