joey's absence wouldn't be an issue if y'all had the sensible 4 hour pick window

The 4 hour window rule is only good if you spend 50% of your day obsessively checking RM.
Some of us got shit to do.

Re: Video Game Tournament Draft: Durds' Pick!
I kind of wish I would've paid more attention and could have participated in this, however I didn't play games from about 2003 - 2013, and while I did loop back and play lots of PS3 titles from the console's earlier years, I think never being a Nintendo guy (except for an NES and my brother's N64) would've limited the games I could've picked. Looking forward to voting and trashing your teams, though.

Re: Video Game Tournament Draft: Durds' Pick!
That's a tough one. If I was going to try and pick 3 games based on a matrix of hours sunk + pure enjoyment + nostalgia, I might pick Skyrim, Half Life, and Deus Ex. But if I were picking for the tournament, I would add the wrinkle that I'm trying to get others to vote for my team, so I don't know if I would've picked any of those in the first round. I haven't played deep enough into the PS4 catalogue to select anything from the current generation.Monkey_Driven wrote:What's your favorite game of all time?

Honestly, that's a pretty great top 3 considering you were never a Nintendo person.Simple Torture wrote:That's a tough one.

I went NES to Sega to PS1. Missed SNES and Nintendo 64 completely. Got back into Nintendo with the GameCube.
