What are your thoughts on the 12 hour draft window?

We should just kill everyone and burn it all to the ground.

Maker is absolutely a spin-off. I don't know much about Yoshi's Island but that kinda sounds like a spin-off too.

Mario Kart is also a Mario game, but it's a spinoff.

How the fuck did I forget about BL2? I'm a fucking idiot. Fuck.

Definitely one of the greatest games of all time.
I love Borderlands 2 - I've got 100 hours of it clocked on Steam. It was definitely swimming around my head for a late pick.

Also, the Mario debate is simple to solve: consult Nintendo's official list of "core" Mario games:

Super Mario Maker is on the list, but Super Mario World 2 is not. Sorted.

What class did you guys play in Borderlands 2? I went with siren. She has a cool special ability.

For my main playthrough I went with commando - I just love turrets.

I was eating dinner and watching shitty horror movies with my girlfriend, that had to take precedence over this pick until now.

Silent Hill - PS1, 1999

Someone already picked Resident Evil so I will be going with Silent Hill instead. This game scared the shit out of me when I played it at age 10 or 11 for the first time. The multiple endings was a really cool aspect for it’s time too.

And that will do it for me I guess. I almost picked Space Invaders, Frogger, Resident Evil 2 or Spyro the Dragon for this final turn, but my gut’s telling me Silent Hill is the way to go.

Nice pick. I fondly remember a weekend spent at a friend's house playing through this.

I only ever played Mario Galaxy 2 once, it was okay for the 45 minutes I played it.

I played the newest Mario Kart and Mario Party games on the Switch when my buddy brought his over, I didn't like them as much as the 64 and Gamecube originals. They were fun but the gameplay almost seems dumbed down in lieu of lame motion control bullshit now, especially in Mario Party.

Mario Kart 8 is clearly the best Mario Kart game in my eyes. I've never used the motion controls for it.

My friend likes to always opt for the new and improved shitty controls I guess.

Crash Team Racing is better than any Mario Kart game I've ever played in my life. I would have put that in my list if I could pick more than one Crash Bandicoot game.

I would say Crash Team Racing is different than a core Crash game. I like both games (Crash Team Racing and Mario Kart). Wish there was a newer Crash Racing game.

There may or may not be a Crash Team Racing PS4 re-release in the future, from what I've seen on the internet. If it happens, sweet, if not I wouldn't be surprised either.

tree said he picked Superman 64 too.
