    The 2025 Desert Island Video Game Draft

    Kingdom Rush. Android. Tower defence game. I'll come back and write something more later. More: One of the most innovative games, it changed ... no that's not right. ... I was feeling real vulnerable ... no not that either. ...There's an interesting story behind this game. I woke up and...

    NBA Street Vol 2. Yay basketball. Yay fun. And yay Bobbito Garcia aka Kool Bob Love aka DJ CucumberSlice called the games.

    The 2025 Desert Island Video Game Draft

    My history with hockey games: i) I used to rent out a game (no idea which one) for SNES and the one thing I remember is the 'crossing the blue line' commentary; ii) I had one of the EA NHL games (prob around 1998?) and played the hell out of season mode with the Sharks. Never seen a real hockey...

    I remember hiring this out from the video store and being really bad at the multiplayer.

    I would have picked this at some point. I remember an assessment we had in 8th grade English was just to present an argument for something, anything. A friend argued that Bulbasaur was the best Pokemon.

    Nope happy for you to do it. Maybe I go to 8 and you can do the last 7?

    The 2025 Desert Island Video Game Draft

    I wonder if there is anyone who would like to take over from me from around halfway/ the 8th/ 10th pick? I can keep going if needed but feel by then I would have expressed my gaming self as completely as I can.

    Football Manager 15. PC. I did some pretty wild things before I had a family. Like ... Consecutive promotions with Hartlepool. And ... Premier league return for Derby ... all the way to ... Top 6? I think back on this game and I'm like, was it fun? Or did I just get that brain response that...

    Overcooked 2. Xbox One. 2018. When lockdowns arrived in Melbourne, I spent most weekdays at my then girlfriend's (now wife's) small apartment, where we worked and took things sort of seriously. But Friday nights and Saturday mornings were at my place, streaming crappy TV in the evening, then...

    Stardew Valley. Android. One lonely Saturday afternoon I downloaded this simple looking game and was transported to a wholesome world of growing flowers, making cheese, fishing, foraging, and befriending townsfolk. Not too different from what I would like to do if my research funding runs out.

    Final Fantasy IX. 2000. PS2. This would have been a Christmas present in my mid teens but I replayed it on my phone a few years ago and still loved it. Doesn't take itself too seriously and has fun characters. My faves: Steiner, the steak shaped knight, and Quina, the frog eater.

    [KINGS] Comments that don't warrant their own thread (Redux)

    Are we expected to sign Keegan to an extension this summer? I saw the rockets extended Jabari Smith earlier - could we be waiting to complete other moves before extending Keegan for flexibility? i.e., does no extension announcement = something else the works or am I making something from nothing?

    [News] Kings trade Jonas to Denver for Saric

    I don't know if Kuminga is worth more than his output so far because he was a poor fit on GS, or if he was a poor fit on GS because he just isn't that good at team basketball.
