This is my kind of TDOS content right here! Keep it coming!

I was one of those people who was excited to play this game up until it came out and the early word of mouth about the release version being basically unplayable caused me to kick it off my Wishlist. I'm glad the developers have kept after fixing all the bugs and I would maybe still like to try...

Welcome to the fun! It's probably a good idea to start thinking of your next pick now since you'll be up again pretty soon. You can review the draft order in the first post of this thread (here) -- since you're taking over for Turgenev you'll be in slot #3. And since it's a snake draft, who you...

I played a little bit of WoW up to and including Cataclysm. I never got all that interested in doing the group content though and mostly spent my time exploring the environments, fishing, and capturing pet birds. My favorite moment from this game was taking my Tauren hunter all the way to the...

This series is right at the top of my list of games I still want to play. It's been on my radar for awhile, I just haven't found the time. I'm also unsure if I would be better off playing them on PC or PS4 -- is there a lot of shooting involved? I eventually got decent at the 3rd person combat...

R7.P1 (#73 Overall) RIVEN (VR REMAKE) Format: PC (VR) Year of Release: 2024 Developer: Cyan Worlds Genre: Graphical Adventure / Puzzle Why I picked it: An Ode to Imagination I have a lot to say about Myst but Capt. got there first so I'm re-sorting my draft priority list a bit here to...

Well I chose to hold my tongue for the next 11 picks until it was my turn again, but you may be more right than you know since you're the first person to draft a video game that I had intended to make one of my selections.

R6.P12 (#72 Overall) ALIEN: ISOLATION Format: PC Year of Release: 2014 Developer: Creative Assembly Genre: Survival Horror Why I picked it: Atmosphere For my next pick I'm going to highlight one of my favorite game experiences of recent (ish) years and one of the rarest occurrences in...

Oh no! I guess I'm not as original in my thinking as I purport to be? :confused: It's also worth noting (as I'm sure you and @Löwenherz already know) that Akira Kurosawa originally got the idea for Yojimbo from a pulp crime novel by Dashiell Hammett (either The Glass Key or Red Harvest...

Seven Samurai is great for sure but I'm going to go against the grain and blaspheme that I actually like the 1960 version of The Magnificent Seven with Yul Brenner and Steve McQueen more than the movie its based on. I would rank Yojimbo as my favorite of the Kurosawa samurai classics and my own...

I agree with all of this. And I also don't see why we should be expecting Carter to transform into some self-creation maestro at the highest level of basketball in order to keep his job on this team. Yes we currently lack a PG to run the offense but building a team isn't about taking your roster...

If you only watch one of these @kingsboi, my vote is for Harakiri.

If he's shouting out Big Ben, I'm on board. I'll even get my "petition the coach for more playing time for player X" forms pre-filled and ready for his first NBA call up.

Well no, I guess constructing a team from captured enemies (the gotta catch 'em all hook) isn't a part of Final Fantasy but the world map, inventory management, and turn-based battle systems are all close enough that the distinction is somewhat lost on me. And I do know of one Final Fantasy...

This is one of only three Super Mario Bros. games that I've liked and the first one of those three to be drafted. I am so phenomenally bad at playing 2D Super Mario Bros. games that I would mostly prefer to watch other people play them if I'm anywhere where a controller is being passed around...
