i got burned in a Simpsons song tourney by leaning too heavily on picks that i loved, but weren't necessarily gonna compete well. Trying to be a little more balanced this time.

You do you, boo. I'ma choose my fav. games.

I post like a valley girl when I'm drunk, apparently.

ABNorman's team is a masterpiece:

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
2. Deus Ex (PC, Mac)
3. Portal 2 (PC, Mac, PS3, XBOX360)
4. Chrono Trigger (SNES)
5. DOOM (PC)
6. Grim Fandango (PC)
7. Plants vs. Zombies (iOS)
8.

Grim Fandango, holy fucking shit. Wow.

Is tree really going to make us wait 12 hours? I guess I'll check back tomorrow.

I feel like there are 3 teams (not mine) that are really fucking good and should clearly be in the semis, if RM doesn't resort to its junior high school popularity contest ways.

If any of you have any recommendations, maybe it will help me decide. As of now, I'm outta good ideas... I'm hoping something comes to me.

huh? Is that really a thing though? I never get the feeling that people vote for the people they like the most in these tournaments.

They did in the Tom Petty finals when I clearly had the better team, but Doug is more popular.

What a strange thing to say about a bunch of dudes goofing off and drafting video games.

Yours is my early favorite. DON'T TELL ME NOT TO VOTE FOR YOU

I can't imagine I'll make it very far in this tournament. But I always have fun in these things, even when I'm so clearly out of my depth. This tournament has brought back a lot of great memories and has me wanting to dive more into gaming. This has been a blast, so far.

I'm sort of agreeing with whoever (jokingly?) suggested have 10-game teams earlier. I'm torn between 3 or 4 for the final pick.

I could definitely keep going. What do others think? Maybe decrease the draft window for the last two picks?

Several of these latter round picks are really exposing my gaps in gaming knowledge/experience.

I'll just go with what should be the next best Zelda game available

Let's draft 10.
