I was very excited to see the American Reunion movie. I saw American Pie just after college and remembered it was quite funny.
Jim, Michelle, Oz, Heather, Stifler reunite for their high school...
I'm glad you all like River City Ransom. The picking of Snatcher kind of fucked with my original theme... So I'm working on something else. But it's weak. I really didn't expect Snatcher to be picked.
I apologize in advance for the weakness in theme. But I do promise that all my picks will be excellent.
This draft is going to drive me batshit. At least in the horror draft, if I hadn't seen something I could just add it to the Netflix queue. I may have to buy 2-3 game systems after this draft. Snatcher? River City Ransom? Never heard of them.
Stupid question, but when it's your groups timeslot, can anyone go, or is it supposed to be in the order that Tati put? I've only done one other draft, and want to make sure I don't mess up someone's pick.
Thanks for the invite Tati, but no, i'll leave this to the pros. I'd only be joining to draft 2 or 3 games I adore, and I'm sure they'll get snatched up. Plus, I'm out of town thursday and friday, so it'd be a bust anyway. But i'm gonna keep checking in on you guys. Might be interesting to be outside of a draft for once.
Just a heads up, Tati, I'll be out of the house 12-6 Tuesday and Wednesday. Earlier the better, if at all possible, otherwise I'll just get someone to draft in my stead.
It's kind of hard to explain why River City Ransom was awesome and ahead of it's time without name dropping other games, but I still have a lot of fun with it.
The RPG elements are deeper than they appear at first glance, and the co-op mode is pretty awesome. Throwing a rock at someone's face at close range, then the rock bouncing back and knocking you down too never gets old. I've always dug the art style too. Damn shame more enemies couldn't be running around at once, but hey it's the NES. The game has pretty brutal difficulty though, as was the case a lot of the time back then.
Yeah FFVII was awesome when I first played it but I'm so sick of FF games in general. But I swear, if Anakin says he cried when Aeris died he doesn't get to pick anymore games.
Jcassidy: Great pick; would you please be so kind as to update the pick with format and year?
'Tetris' is one of those games that will be played 50 years from now. Easy to understand, easy to play, increasingly challenging, and infinitely replayable.
Excellent picks this hour though. Can not fault Tetris (I played that game so much I dreamed about the damn blocks) and Golden Eye (which I came so damn close to taking).
Baldur's Gate is still my favorite pure RPG. It takes the spirit of the older games that came before it, tosses it on to the tried and true D&D framework, fills it with great characters, and puts you in a great story.
