With another year having come and gone, I thought it was time to look back at the best of the past 12 months here on The Lowdown Blog. We had our second major redesign in our six years online. We started integrating more video game and entertainment content. The Man Lab made a bit of a comeback. Jackie killed it with his movie reviews all year long. No, this might not have been our most read year in the blog’s history but I’m quite happy with the content we’ve been putting out.

So let’s look back at the year with our most read posts from 2014 and the most read posts overall in 2014.
