I’ll try to keep an eye on this today if Durden and tree make their picks, I’m in the middle of moving into a new house right now. Sorry in advance for any delays I cause.

No worries. You can PM me a list of some your top picks and I can pick for you if you'd like.

One more quick rule clarification...

Can two different teams pick the same game as long as each chooses a different platform? For example, M_D, you just picked Tetris (Gameboy) can someone else pick Tetris (arcade)?

I say no. Just pick Tetris Plus or whatever the sequels were called.
