The Artist Formerly Known as Guzman 2011 continues his recap of 2011 with his #2 entry on his “Best of” list, which surprised even him.

Part 6/9

The Guzmaniac soldiers toward The End of 52 Pick-Up: The End of Guzman 2011 with his #3 entry on his “Best of” list.

You’re still terrible.

Part 7/9

The Artist Formerly Known as Guzman 2011 continues his recap of 2011 with his #4 entry on his “Best of” list.  Just as he couldn’t narrow down his #3 pick to just one great Television Show, so goes #4, as he recaps some of the greatest Video Games from 2011.  What’s better than being Batman?  Answer: Nothing.
