1001 Levels You Must Play Before You Die

Rate this Entry
Woo... my second attempt at a Blog post here on LBPC!

Lists on LBP.me intrigue me. Maybe it is because they are user made lists of levels and you don't know what to expect, or maybe because I can never seem to find them and I am always on a lookout for good lists.

I recently just came back from a three month continuous break from LBP and LBPC, which for me means a three month break from slaving over the spotlight here. You'd be surprised at how worn out you can get from such an endless game like LBP when you play over 200 levels weekly (and that is a good week). Now that I have returned, I am excited to begin spotlighting again, and things on the share side of LBP2 seem to have died down with all of the betas and games and such approaching. One day whilst I was spotlighting last week, I was browsing Hubbie's account and I thought of lists full of spotlighted levels (which I didn't know we had at the time). Wheels in my head began to turn concerning levels and the spotlight and lists. Apparently my thought process works like this:

Hubbie -> Husbands -> Ria's Husband -> Rialrees -> Lion Leaf -> April Fools -> Spotlight Episodes -> *time passing* -> Warlord's Profile -> Livestream -> Steve -> Minecraft -> *begins playing Minecraft* -> Hunger -> Snack -> Porkchops -> Dark Brotherhood -> Skyrim -> Dragons -> Death -> Sky UI -> Lists -> LBP -> Grayspence -> PSN Friends -> DajDaj -> IDEA

And so that is how I arrived at this idea: A list of 1001 levels you must play before you die. Now, I have no clue whether this has been started already, or finished because I don't even know how long LBP.me lists have existed, but if it does exist already, multiple iterations cannot hurt because presumably many different levels will be chosen.

So I guess I will start to blog about my process creating the list, and it will most certainly take time if I am to do this alone. I have prior experience with the spotlight and all, and no doubt I can draw some levels from my hearted levels and play more from my hearted creators. I specifically want to focus on variety; I want the best levels of all genres.

There it is, laid out in front of you, my goal. Does anybody else think this is a good idea? I don't want to bring out any fights and conspiracies about favoritism and I will iterate now (and most likely reiterate in the future) THAT THIS PROJECT IS IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH THE LITTTLEBIGPLANETCENTRAL LEVEL SPOTLIGHT. If I enjoy a good spotlighted level and think it should be on the list then so be it.

Comments are welcome, if you think it is a good idea and want to contribute post a comment or shoot me a PM/Visitor Message. I eventually might post a thread about it and add polls and stuff and have some community voted levels in there or something. Comment with any ideas, criticism, questions, etc.

Oh, and here is the current list.

    LOL! It appears that I've boarded your train of thought, Tan

    That being said its a neat, ambitious idea, and it shouldn't be too hard as long as your memory doesn't fail you and you don't forget to update the list with new entries. It'd probably be one HELL of a list, though!

    On a separate, technical note:
    Each list has a level-maximum of 40 levels in one list, and each PSN ID is entitled to 20 lists, enabling a grand total of 800 levels spanning 20 lists. You'd need multiple accounts for this, as it seems.

    I regards to how long lists have been around... Um it's only been a few weeks at most

    Oh derp... I didn't know a list could only have 40 levels. I'll have to make a couple of accounts then. :/ Now I need names!

    How did you get from PSN friends to dajdaj? And Sky UI to lists? xD
    Anyway, like the idea
