I want that, so <v Speaker 1>he's the master of his domain record. <v Speaker 8>Hello, Hi, I'm also playing Click clickbomb. I have twenty <v Speaker 8>nine cards now, but a lot of them. I've been <v Speaker 8>combining the cards for the rarity situation, so it's more <v Speaker 8>than that really. <v Speaker 1>Speaking about rarity, combine the cards, We've got. <v Speaker 8>The rarest two of them have the same art and border. <v Speaker 1>Okay, we got the rarest person on the staff, thinky Grayson. <v Speaker 1>So I didn't know you could combine the cards. Also, <v Speaker 1>a hole is not ATLD damn it unfortunately. <v Speaker 9>So speaking about Hole, we're gonna throw all our audio <v Speaker 9>files into the digital hole and he's going to start <v Speaker 9>them out like he's Stanley yell Natz in the Lewis <v Speaker 9>sacker Ya novel holes Terble Shawn Sean mcdell. <v Speaker 10>I have been informed that there is no Sean and <v Speaker 10>is no tam card like Bomb game. Awesome, so thanks Chuck, <v Speaker 10>But I have heard money back I have for there's <v Speaker 10>a Sean Easter egg somewhere. I'm looking forward to see <v Speaker 10>why you put it in there. <v Speaker 2>Scout, Please, there's a whole game in this game. I <v Speaker 2>don't know how far I just gott. <v Speaker 1>I just fucking so toss. <v Speaker 4>There's a lot going on. <v Speaker 1>Yeah, itally sold the cards. <v Speaker 3>We've gathered here today, all nine of us, because last <v Speaker 3>year we participated in the Fantasy Critic Draft twenty twenty <v Speaker 3>four that Dan Reikert won. <v Speaker 1>Yeah. <v Speaker 8>I'm still waiting on that. Venmo all right, all right, well, <v Speaker 8>well we'll figure it out. <v Speaker 1>Everyone. <v Speaker 3>Just Venmo me first, and then I'll make sure it <v Speaker 3>gets over. And unfortunately, Lucy James, you wound up really <v Speaker 3>losing bad. <v Speaker 5>Yeah so and also, okay, good, no, I I realized that. <v Speaker 5>So I'm having to use my phone as my camera here, <v Speaker 5>and I wrote my list of games on my and <v Speaker 5>I can access them. Okay, that's good. Yeah, so I <v Speaker 5>lost really terribly. But I really put that down to <v Speaker 5>the fact that I completely forgot that we did this. <v Speaker 5>And also I'm British and I don't really care about <v Speaker 5>sports unless it's tennis, and even then I'm such a <v Speaker 5>fair weather friend to tennis, and I only really enjoy <v Speaker 5>it when I am listening to the Challenges sound. <v Speaker 3>That's right, folks, we're actually gonna be talking about how <v Speaker 3>Challengers was snubbed this year. <v Speaker 5>At snubbed, I just think it. <v Speaker 10>Gigs. <v Speaker 6>No. <v Speaker 5>I genuinely think it's because Trentsonaticus won too recently and <v Speaker 5>the Academy is like, look, they'll win again for this, <v Speaker 5>we can't put them up. <v Speaker 1>So this year, twenty twenty five, we were gathering together <v Speaker 1>again to do the Critic Fantasy Critic Draft again. Sean, <v Speaker 1>you were the commissioner yet again, as you are probably <v Speaker 1>arguably one of the more organized people that I know <v Speaker 1>in general. <v Speaker 3>So shouts out to you, Doug, Sean, has do we <v Speaker 3>have to do anything? Or has Grub made his team? <v Speaker 10>No, Grub mays team. He was on top of things. <v Speaker 10>Kind of okay, so we're all good to go. I <v Speaker 10>have set the draft order, so maybe you might have <v Speaker 10>to refresh the page in order to see it take place, <v Speaker 10>but we should. We should remind everyone, even though we <v Speaker 10>just went over an episode or two ago, what exactly <v Speaker 10>we're doing here, if nothing else, so everyone the call <v Speaker 10>remembers what we're doing here. Fancy Critic is a game <v Speaker 10>where you put together a It's like fancy football but <v Speaker 10>for video games. Is how the creator describes it. But <v Speaker 10>put more simply, basically, you're just coming up with a <v Speaker 10>list of games that you think will perform the best <v Speaker 10>as opposed to your opponents in the year twenty twenty five. <v Speaker 10>That's all we're doing, putting together a list of the <v Speaker 10>best games. And like fantasy football, like drafting a fancy team, <v Speaker 10>once a game has been picked, you cannot pick that game. <v Speaker 10>It only goes to one team. So we're just gonna <v Speaker 10>go down the line and each pick a game that <v Speaker 10>we think will perform well in the year twenty twenty five. <v Speaker 10>For each point over seventy it scores an open critic, <v Speaker 10>you get one point, and each point over ninety is <v Speaker 10>additional point. Dull the points there. So yeah, just pick <v Speaker 10>good games like Dan did last year and Lavas did <v Speaker 10>not do last year. <v Speaker 4>Right, So, I think it's important to call out the <v Speaker 4>fact that this is not over today, and I think <v Speaker 4>that was maybe something that was not enforced to the <v Speaker 4>rest of the group, and I think it. <v Speaker 2>Probably was pretty well understood. <v Speaker 10>I think we did multiple summaries and stuff. <v Speaker 4>So just let me finish the thought here. I think <v Speaker 4>like there were certain things that I didn't understand. I <v Speaker 4>know what fantasy sports are, so I was able to <v Speaker 4>sort of piece it all together. But I think the <v Speaker 4>not the the the what's it called the bidding, That's <v Speaker 4>not what screwed me up. I think it was like <v Speaker 4>how many games I could have and what the counterpick <v Speaker 4>situation was. And I just didn't realize if I didn't <v Speaker 4>do a counterpick, I would be penalized. <v Speaker 5>So that's the thing that I also didn't know we <v Speaker 5>could we could do stuff throughout the year. I thought <v Speaker 5>it was a set it and forget it, which is <v Speaker 5>where Yeah. <v Speaker 4>Well that's a huge tactical error there. <v Speaker 5>Yeah, well it's not a tactical error if it's not <v Speaker 5>playing the game. Yeah, it's just I just didn't play <v Speaker 5>the game. <v Speaker 2>So here's the boring Remember. <v Speaker 5>Calendar, and you guys gonna on this to day. <v Speaker 6>I don't understand how any of this books. <v Speaker 2>Okay, here's the port thing to remember. We're gonna pick <v Speaker 2>a couple of games today. Then you're gonna get a <v Speaker 2>budget one hundred dollars that you can get games later <v Speaker 2>by bidding. We will. We'll go over that probably at <v Speaker 2>the end as a reminder, just so we can go <v Speaker 2>maybe do an example of that because I can maybe <v Speaker 2>we can like share a screen or something, and you <v Speaker 2>guys can see me doing another another league. But it's <v Speaker 2>pretty straightforward. As games get announced or as you get <v Speaker 2>a hunch that maybe a game that didn't get drafted <v Speaker 2>actually is going to come out, or you feel better <v Speaker 2>about it than you did during the draft period, you <v Speaker 2>can bid on it. That's and and that bid is <v Speaker 2>going to be if you win that one percent of <v Speaker 2>your bid will be taken. So like Dan got what <v Speaker 2>astrobot last year, I bid like thirty five dollars of <v Speaker 2>my one hundred dollars on Astrobot, and I felt pretty <v Speaker 2>good about that. Dan bid seventy dollars, thinking that, oh, <v Speaker 2>it's just going to go use as much like he <v Speaker 2>thought it would work, like eBay where it's only going <v Speaker 2>to go as high as the next highest bid or <v Speaker 2>something like that. It's like, no, if you bid seventy, <v Speaker 2>it's going to take all seventy dollars and you'll only <v Speaker 2>have thirty dollars left, but you will have Astrobot, which <v Speaker 2>won you the entire year. <v Speaker 10>So it's a risk reward. So yeah, yeah, this is something. <v Speaker 10>This is the song I was getting to. I was <v Speaker 10>getting to this because there is a change from last year. <v Speaker 10>So last year, what we did is we each picked <v Speaker 10>five games in the initial draft, and then you could <v Speaker 10>add five teams later throughout the year through the bidding system. <v Speaker 10>So we're doing a little bit differently this year. I <v Speaker 10>think that there's not quite enough confirm for twenty twenty <v Speaker 10>five for us to do it this that way this year, <v Speaker 10>So instead today we're each going to pick four games <v Speaker 10>today and then throughout the rest of the year you <v Speaker 10>will be able to bid on up to six games <v Speaker 10>to add to your team, right, Bill, Jason's up in <v Speaker 10>a slightly interesting way, and also keep people playing in <v Speaker 10>the long term hopefully. <v Speaker 4>Yes, question, Yes, do we have to pick so we <v Speaker 4>don't have to pick counterpicks? <v Speaker 10>Then they pick one today, Okay, just like last year, <v Speaker 10>you will need a one by I believe it's September first, <v Speaker 10>got it. Yeah, Because that way you can counterpick one <v Speaker 10>thing that was picked today, and then you will counterpick <v Speaker 10>something that someone picked up later on in the year. Now, <v Speaker 10>counterpicks we didn't really explain yet, right, So a counterpick <v Speaker 10>is a required thing that you have to do for <v Speaker 10>your team. You are calling someone out, You're saying, no, <v Speaker 10>I think that game won't perform well or will not <v Speaker 10>release this year. Is a required thing that each of <v Speaker 10>us must do, is to make sure that things are <v Speaker 10>kept in check, because if we all have really really <v Speaker 10>good games, well, then you you know, it's a way <v Speaker 10>to make sure that things are balanced out there, because <v Speaker 10>especially especially because as we go through the dres we <v Speaker 10>will go in reverse or for the counterpicks. Right, a <v Speaker 10>person who gets a really good game, we'll have to <v Speaker 10>also counterpick statistically a good game. <v Speaker 2>Because everyone else will have already chosen all the obvious <v Speaker 2>games that aren't going to come out or might not <v Speaker 2>perform or something like that exactly. And people get it. <v Speaker 4>And because I've never been able to really save face <v Speaker 4>in any kind of like public space, I would just <v Speaker 4>like to go on record and say that when I <v Speaker 4>picked Silent, He'll remake last year, the group was really <v Speaker 4>all in agreement that this was a pretty good pick, <v Speaker 4>just on the merit that it wasn't going to come. <v Speaker 1>Out last year. <v Speaker 4>Yeah, And I just want to know, like at the <v Speaker 4>time it was an intelligent pick. Certainly when it came <v Speaker 4>out and end up begging number two on a top <v Speaker 4>ten list. <v Speaker 1>Didn't really help. <v Speaker 10>It was a risk pick. It's like when what three <v Speaker 10>years ago in a different league, I counter picked twos <v Speaker 10>of the Kingdom because I was like, I don't think <v Speaker 10>Tears of the Kingdom is coming out. That was a <v Speaker 10>huge risk, but it didn't come out, and so you know, <v Speaker 10>my risk glow reward. <v Speaker 1>Something like that. <v Speaker 2>It's almost certainly going to happen because I think were <v Speaker 2>going to see by the time we get up to <v Speaker 2>the last counterpick of our group, there's not gonna be <v Speaker 2>there's gonna be slim pickings in terms of you're probably <v Speaker 2>you have the counterpick like GTA six hoping it doesn't <v Speaker 2>come out. <v Speaker 1>Wow. <v Speaker 10>Okay, so that that probably all sounded like a lot. <v Speaker 10>But yeah, again, I want to keep it simple for <v Speaker 10>everyone here today. So just remember today we're just going <v Speaker 10>to take turns picking games. We're gonna finish four games each. <v Speaker 10>We're gonna counterpick one game, one game that we say <v Speaker 10>I don't think that game will do well or I <v Speaker 10>don't think it will come out. Then everything else comes <v Speaker 10>later in the year. <v Speaker 3>Uh steaks, Okay, I have I have two things to <v Speaker 3>propose real quick before we get the steaks. Yummy yummy money. <v Speaker 3>No uh oh. I am currently on crowndesigners dot com <v Speaker 3>and they're running they're running a sale on crowns, and <v Speaker 3>I think perhaps we should get a crown that we <v Speaker 3>give to the winner. <v Speaker 8>So, Dan, I think you should do that. Send it <v Speaker 8>to my house. Yeah, I can wear it until till <v Speaker 8>the next one, and then if I will peacefully transfer <v Speaker 8>the power to whoever get or keeping. <v Speaker 1>If it's. <v Speaker 6>Get him the small princess. <v Speaker 8>I have a big, fat head, So keep. <v Speaker 6>That small princess. <v Speaker 2>It doesn't have to look good on him. There is <v Speaker 2>no rule that says it has to look good. <v Speaker 5>On I have ty head, so if you get on <v Speaker 5>the it will go around my neck. <v Speaker 4>There's snap backs. <v Speaker 6>Head is pretty big. <v Speaker 1>There's snap backs. Crown please. <v Speaker 3>So currently the categories for crown sizes are men's small <v Speaker 3>princess slash bridle, Medium queen slash Princess, or large Queen. <v Speaker 2>I think we add a medium queen. <v Speaker 10>I think we can solve this. <v Speaker 6>I think we can solve this issue by getting a <v Speaker 6>sceptor instead. <v Speaker 8>I want to crown. <v Speaker 1>All as we are the on Yeah. <v Speaker 9>Every. <v Speaker 8>Crowndesigners dot com. I want the men's imperial medieval gold <v Speaker 8>rhinestone king of course. <v Speaker 3>Okay, so we're going for the large queen section and <v Speaker 3>we'll get a matching scepter. <v Speaker 1>Okay, fair, sweet, there we. <v Speaker 5>Go, very reasonably priced. <v Speaker 10>Yeah, these are going to. <v Speaker 6>Be the most dogship quality. Get diseases the moment they <v Speaker 6>put them on. <v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'll be the guinea pig for that, so they <v Speaker 3>can't It can't be bad. <v Speaker 1>It's on sale. Damn, it can't be bad. <v Speaker 4>They're using princess dye to help sell the crowd. <v Speaker 1>What maybe we get that one? <v Speaker 2>Did you know that I had Dandriff? They found her <v Speaker 2>head and shoulders in the glove compartment. The second thing <v Speaker 2>I proposed. <v Speaker 3>The second thing I proposed is we will do a <v Speaker 3>fantasy critic draft check in every joke. <v Speaker 1>What happened? <v Speaker 2>Christ More for us that. <v Speaker 8>Sitting on that one. <v Speaker 2>I don't think about it every time I see her. <v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. Okay. <v Speaker 3>The other thing you're gonna you were gonna say before <v Speaker 3>my two proposals, but. <v Speaker 2>I remember we were gonna talk talk about steaks, but <v Speaker 2>that I think the stake should Yeah, this is a <v Speaker 2>good thing to win. Comes great, and then I think <v Speaker 2>the loser Steak was perfect? Right, the worst game that <v Speaker 2>we all collectively picked, or do we want to do <v Speaker 2>even worse than that, like worst game reviewed on Open <v Speaker 2>Critics or something like that. <v Speaker 11>Okay, yeah, is gonna be fun? Yeah, awesome, and we're good, <v Speaker 11>I think, all right, I give it to the commissioner. <v Speaker 10>Yeah, all right. From the reminder, this is an audio podcast, <v Speaker 10>So as you pick a game, make sure to announce <v Speaker 10>it to everyone. And how about as we go down <v Speaker 10>the line for the first pick, here, we can each <v Speaker 10>say what our publisher name is. <v Speaker 8>So I'm last pick? <v Speaker 2>Is that? <v Speaker 1>Right? <v Speaker 10>Is the random one? <v Speaker 8>Do I get the devil as it snaked back? <v Speaker 10>Do get to in a row and give to you? <v Speaker 7>What a different naming your publisher that when your first <v Speaker 7>pick last year was Final Fantasy Sevin Rebirth? <v Speaker 1>But whatever has here? <v Speaker 11>Manati speaking, guess who's first wat. <v Speaker 8>Was that sound? Can you isolate that? <v Speaker 1>Oh? <v Speaker 10>Yeah, we got that, we got that, Mike, what's your <v Speaker 10>publisher name? My publisher name is nonsir Hunter Wiles. Yeah, <v Speaker 10>all right, there is. <v Speaker 7>Okay, and with the first pick, okay, and uh all right, wait, <v Speaker 7>let me know when I should draft? I think no <v Speaker 7>refresh here it is all right, everybody. Yeah, oh my god, <v Speaker 7>I were going to pick No, I'm still gonna go <v Speaker 7>with this. Yeah, my first pick will be the unannounced <v Speaker 7>Mainline three D Mario platformer. <v Speaker 9>Wow. <v Speaker 8>Okay, well, who decides what mainline is? <v Speaker 1>Tell you? <v Speaker 5>M hmm okay, Then do I wait for you to <v Speaker 5>refresh or do I refresh it? <v Speaker 10>It should it should like notify you at the top <v Speaker 10>of the page. That's your turn to draft. If it doesn't, <v Speaker 10>just refresh and should up. <v Speaker 2>If it says the draft is currently in progress, you're <v Speaker 2>probably finding won't have to refresh. <v Speaker 5>It says the draft is currently in progress. <v Speaker 8>Cool refreshing because there should be a button there for <v Speaker 8>you to draft down. <v Speaker 5>Oh wait, it's because it logged me out. That's why. Okay, okay, <v Speaker 5>now I'm in. Now, I'm okay. Draft game. So my <v Speaker 5>publisher name is jam Hot Games because they're going to <v Speaker 5>be games so hot it's difficult to touch them. But <v Speaker 5>I hope okay, my uh, my first pick is going <v Speaker 5>to be Monster Hunter Wilds. <v Speaker 8>Maybe I should have gotten that my team name. <v Speaker 5>Yeah, I really thought you were going to do that <v Speaker 5>considering your name, But I. <v Speaker 10>Am up next my team this year shouts the GB <v Speaker 10>chat for bringing it up something that I've used in <v Speaker 10>the past. I didn't think of PlayStation is what we're <v Speaker 10>going with today. <v Speaker 8>I don't get it nice. <v Speaker 10>You gotta do what I think is probably the safest pick, <v Speaker 10>Doom the Dark Ages. <v Speaker 8>I don't get the draft for a while. <v Speaker 10>This sucks. Yeah, I'm the last to do it. <v Speaker 4>Oh man, I didn't think it was gonna be like. <v Speaker 5>This, friends them. <v Speaker 1>Oh so no one told me it was going to <v Speaker 1>be this way. <v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, I my publisher name is even more important <v Speaker 4>game company and Okay, and it's like, I'm surprised this <v Speaker 4>game wasn't taken already. But I guess there's a hesitation <v Speaker 4>that it will slip into twenty twenty six. But I <v Speaker 4>don't give a shit because I think there's way too <v Speaker 4>much writing on not just Take two, but also the <v Speaker 4>entire industry that GTA six has to come out this year. <v Speaker 11>I'm taking GT I think that's a good Okay, that's <v Speaker 11>a good picture, and that game gets delayed twice. <v Speaker 4>I mean, it's not coming out till twenty seven. <v Speaker 1>We all know. <v Speaker 10>But let me tell you, if it does come out, <v Speaker 10>those are points for Jeriff right there. <v Speaker 5>Yeah, I was going to say everyone. I was waiting <v Speaker 5>to see who was gonna who was gonna do it? <v Speaker 5>I did think about. <v Speaker 4>It by them, happy to do it, Happy to do it? <v Speaker 3>Okay, I am up next, and my publisher name is <v Speaker 3>ESPN eight A the O showers nuts. You know what, <v Speaker 3>all my first picks were taken. And given that this <v Speaker 3>game won Game of the Year at the Game Wards <v Speaker 3>one time, or like the lineage of it. <v Speaker 2>You're really going to go for this already? Damn split ficture. <v Speaker 2>I think that's a good call. <v Speaker 1>It's a good bet. <v Speaker 10>I was eyeing that one. <v Speaker 2>Yep. I mean yeah, you're right, it takes two. <v Speaker 1>What would we say that? <v Speaker 2>Did Sean like an eighty eight? <v Speaker 6>I think maybe? <v Speaker 10>Yeah? <v Speaker 8>Very good? <v Speaker 1>All right? <v Speaker 4>I started playing that with divin either he's got too <v Speaker 4>many questions that we got to stop. <v Speaker 1>The divorce thing about divorce. <v Speaker 8>He doesn't know what divorces. <v Speaker 4>He knows what it is, but it's just, you know, <v Speaker 4>it's different angles, different different points of view there.

Uh, <v Speaker 8>and I think information And I'm also going to review <v Speaker 8>a game I've been looking forward to for a long <v Speaker 8>time and times a sequel one of my favorite games. <v Speaker 8>I think I was one that got it on the map. <v Speaker 8>I think I sold a lot of copies that I'm <v Speaker 8>talking about this. I'm going to pick a Hollow Nights <v Speaker 8>Silk song. <v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's really good for you. Is exactly what I wanted. <v Speaker 2>I'm glad you didn't take it. It's well, let me <v Speaker 2>double check here. <v Speaker 1>Okay, now it's back to grub. <v Speaker 2>Yes, so uhb a grub back on the clock. Take <v Speaker 2>a look here real quick and see what I have <v Speaker 2>on these other pages. See if there's any deeper cuts <v Speaker 2>I want to go for no. I think I feel <v Speaker 2>pretty good. I'm gonna go Metray Prime for no game <v Speaker 2>that's been in development for twenty five years gonna be bad, <v Speaker 2>right or whatever? <v Speaker 1>Out So yeah, alright, it's my tendo freaking turned Intendo <v Speaker 1>two is on the clock. I'm trying to figure out <v Speaker 1>every time a civilization comes out, people are mad and <v Speaker 1>then people are like, civilization isn't actually good until two <v Speaker 1>and a half years after the civilization. <v Speaker 2>That is correct, that's true? <v Speaker 10>Ye, So that. <v Speaker 1>Feels like I'm kind of a burn of a pick. <v Speaker 6>Yeah, that feels frough, fristy. <v Speaker 1>Y'all are gonna lose your fucking minds over elden Ring <v Speaker 1>is kind of how I feel. <v Speaker 10>Yeah, they will, So. <v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take elden Ring Night Rain. Finally, that seems <v Speaker 1>about the right. <v Speaker 2>Time to pick elden Ring Knight. And I think that one's <v Speaker 2>gonna do a little bit under but I don't think <v Speaker 2>it's good. <v Speaker 1>I still yeah, I think it'll still go good. People <v Speaker 1>are gonna be like, remember Eldon Ring.

I don't know. No, man, <v Speaker 6>I'm not saying I don't.

Yeah. <v Speaker 4>No, I'm gonna pick a game that I personally have <v Speaker 4>next to no interest in playing. <v Speaker 1>But I think this get his ass? What a sick burn. <v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm gonna pick Death Tranning too. Oh, because that <v Speaker 4>game is gonna review well even if it's bad. <v Speaker 2>M h true, Yeah, probably not wrong. <v Speaker 10>Nice, okay, Okay to me, I have been looking at <v Speaker 10>my watch list trying to think of what to pick. <v Speaker 10>Let me let me search something real quick. <v Speaker 1>You ever think about how there are things that we <v Speaker 1>will never receive credit or like people will never get <v Speaker 1>credit for. We're gonna die before we know who did <v Speaker 1>that chime. Yep, We're gonna die before we find out <v Speaker 1>who took this picture of the clownfish on Apple devices, <v Speaker 1>which was the first image shown on an iPhone. We're <v Speaker 1>never gonna know who took that picture of the snow <v Speaker 1>leopard that was the background of snow Leopard the mac <v Speaker 1>Os version because people don't write it down. <v Speaker 6>The NBA drap jingle was made by Nate. You can <v Speaker 6>die happy, thanks. <v Speaker 1>Well, see you later. <v Speaker 10>Gang okay. <v Speaker 3>Bye, just out on an ice flow, all right, be <v Speaker 3>real awkward when it gets back to their turn? <v Speaker 10>Where did it go? Shoot on web page? Bugging out <v Speaker 10>a little bit something. <v Speaker 2>You can't combine these cards? What do you guys mean? <v Speaker 2>How do you combine cards? <v Speaker 1>You write? <v Speaker 8>Well do you write? When you write border and art? <v Speaker 8>You can combine them? <v Speaker 2>Thank you? <v Speaker 10>Yeah, okay, I think that I am going to lock in. <v Speaker 10>Let me find it because I have to search for <v Speaker 10>it because not the top. <v Speaker 1>Uh make it drop? <v Speaker 10>Frank Quist one and two HD remix m okay, okay'll <v Speaker 10>be a solid eighty something. So is that not time? <v Speaker 2>It just came out. <v Speaker 10>That's three. They're also doing a one two as HD <v Speaker 10>two D remix. <v Speaker 5>Time for jam Hot Games and we going for Blueprints. <v Speaker 1>What's that? <v Speaker 5>It's a puzzle game that has had a couple of <v Speaker 5>demos on Steam Next West and it rocks. <v Speaker 12>Basically like Royalty, not like oh no building, No, so <v Speaker 12>like you're in this you're in this house of leaves <v Speaker 12>ass house and rooms get added as you progress through <v Speaker 12>the game. <v Speaker 5>So it's a pun blueprint. <v Speaker 1>Oh I. <v Speaker 8>Okay, yeah, I get too. <v Speaker 7>Now one of them is going to be Claire Obscure <v Speaker 7>Expedition thirty three's week. Okay, I think the game showed <v Speaker 7>very well yesterday and I am a believer. And speaking <v Speaker 7>of games shown yesterday, my other man going to be. <v Speaker 1>No guid and I was hoping this. I remembered the <v Speaker 1>thing that happened yesterday. <v Speaker 10>That's not that's cheating, I think because I'm puffident, I <v Speaker 10>guess delayed. <v Speaker 1>Does it mean. <v Speaker 8>Everything's going to get delayed though? Right? But I will <v Speaker 8>be fine. <v Speaker 5>Okay, I'm back to drafting. <v Speaker 1>Mm hmm. <v Speaker 5>I you know what, if it comes out of early <v Speaker 5>access this year, then jobs are good and haities two <v Speaker 5>it's not well, it says it's not ultimate because the <v Speaker 5>currently and early access tag has been banned. <v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, that's one release, is what Sean said. <v Speaker 1>Yeah, after this draft if the and I guess, I'm <v Speaker 1>also talking it out loud so we can confirm if <v Speaker 1>I'm thinking about it correctly. <v Speaker 10>Reviews, So that's why it would also. <v Speaker 5>Not be And like I am going to change my mind. <v Speaker 8>To a game. <v Speaker 2>What it's interesting, it's a football where don't wry but <v Speaker 2>the football term, don't worry. <v Speaker 5>I'm going to change my mind to wonder. <v Speaker 10>Stop that. <v Speaker 5>Now, change what is that being published by Anna. It <v Speaker 5>is a game it's all about burnout, but you run <v Speaker 5>a tea shop. I played it at the Game Awards <v Speaker 5>and I really enjoyed it. I think it might do pretty. <v Speaker 4>Nice Okay, very good. <v Speaker 10>Okay, So this one doesn't have a confirmed ass release <v Speaker 10>date yet, but if it does come out, this is <v Speaker 10>another one that I think is just safe easy points. <v Speaker 10>So I'm going with Trails in the Sky first chapter. <v Speaker 2>Oh choice. <v Speaker 8>All the people who are going to review that game <v Speaker 8>are probably gonna love it. <v Speaker 10>Yeah, it's just going to be an easy like twelve <v Speaker 10>ish points there if it comes out. <v Speaker 4>I have chosen my third pick. I'm surprised that lasted <v Speaker 4>this long as well. <v Speaker 1>Uh. <v Speaker 4>I think a lot of people are into this highly <v Speaker 4>anticipated the Outer Worlds too. <v Speaker 10>Okay, yeah, I can a review. <v Speaker 2>Better than the last one. So yeah, it's yeah. <v Speaker 3>People like two D stuff. People also like Ninja Guy Den. <v Speaker 3>I'm gonna go Raggae bound. <v Speaker 6>Damn do I not get a pick? Is that a thing? Now? <v Speaker 9>Oh? <v Speaker 1>You you're after jan Is it? <v Speaker 6>Is it? <v Speaker 4>Now? It's your turn? <v Speaker 6>Why is it not telling me that I couldn't pick <v Speaker 6>re Fresh? Nope? <v Speaker 9>Damn? <v Speaker 1>Are you logged? <v Speaker 8>Out. <v Speaker 6>No, I'm logged in. I remember, fresher, did. <v Speaker 1>You trade your pick for a twenty twenty seven first? <v Speaker 6>Oh, it's back, it's back back backs back. <v Speaker 1>We did it good for refreshers? <v Speaker 10>Is how you get done? <v Speaker 6>Mm hmmm, yeah, I'm gonna pick, uh, this is available. <v Speaker 6>I'm gonna pick Sleight of Hand. <v Speaker 10>Okay, oh yeah, Light had not familiar. <v Speaker 6>It's a hard boiled detective noir game, steff game that <v Speaker 6>is card based. <v Speaker 1>Mm hmmm. I like these picks. <v Speaker 4>Known gambler to more mussine. <v Speaker 6>I do gamble sometimes. <v Speaker 4>All right, very good? <v Speaker 10>Is up next? <v Speaker 1>Now what I'm trying to figure out? <v Speaker 10>Mhm uh huh. <v Speaker 1>There's a couple of things right, all. <v Speaker 6>Right, it's Harry. <v Speaker 4>You're just logged out, aren't you. <v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, I didn't lock me out, so I'm <v Speaker 1>walking back in. No, no, no, I'm trying to figure <v Speaker 1>out if I think some of these games that they <v Speaker 1>say are twenty twenty five are real? Yeah. <v Speaker 2>Yeah, kind of tough right now. <v Speaker 1>It's so tough to figure out because if I'm the <v Speaker 1>two K Corporation, right, and I know in my bones <v Speaker 1>that grant the thought of six isn't coming out this <v Speaker 1>calendar year that I'm making sure that Borderlins four comes <v Speaker 1>out this year. Yeah, sure, right, Okay, Well, I wouldn't <v Speaker 1>want to think about Borderlands four for any longer than <v Speaker 1>I'm currently doing it. I think people are gonna like <v Speaker 1>that one, because apparently they gave it big numbers when <v Speaker 1>the last one came out thirty years ago. However, Borderlins <v Speaker 1>is cold. It's cold, food wants it. <v Speaker 6>You'll be surprised. <v Speaker 1>That's but that's the other part, right, is I could <v Speaker 1>I might be surprised, And that's why I'm gonna pick <v Speaker 1>like a dragon Pyriyozan. Oh wait, I didn't pick it <v Speaker 1>select draft game. I've done it. Wait it's not working. <v Speaker 1>Did it work? <v Speaker 6>Oh? <v Speaker 2>It worked? All right, let's see here. I think I'm <v Speaker 2>safe not to pick that one yet. I can do <v Speaker 2>that on the on the turn around. <v Speaker 1>How does he know though, because it's only Dan's good. <v Speaker 1>He's good. <v Speaker 2>It's only Dan between me and my next pick. All right, <v Speaker 2>so you picked it? Did you pick Borderlands for? <v Speaker 1>Yeah? Just do that. Yeah, you should probably pick word <v Speaker 1>Lands for. I try to plan the swerve that I <v Speaker 1>was like, I should just pick Borderlands for. <v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm I'm gonna go border Lance for I think <v Speaker 2>that'll be. <v Speaker 1>I haven't solid mid eighties. <v Speaker 2>Actually I and by selected, I mean added to my <v Speaker 2>watch list, all right, now. <v Speaker 1>That's what I did with I was like, that's weird. <v Speaker 8>All right, there we go, all right, Dan, Yeah, I <v Speaker 8>got two again. <v Speaker 10>Yeah, but these are your last two. <v Speaker 8>These are oh it's my last to holy Ship. South <v Speaker 8>of Midnight looked pretty good, that's. <v Speaker 1>Kind of framey. <v Speaker 8>I'm going to pick South at Midnight one of them. <v Speaker 10>Good pick, good pick, good pick. <v Speaker 8>And I'm also going to pick let me see if <v Speaker 8>this is on here? Good answer, call of duty? <v Speaker 2>You got call of duty last year, right, yes, I <v Speaker 2>might have. <v Speaker 4>Okay, that's another huge tactical error they never put out <v Speaker 4>too bad. <v Speaker 8>Yeah, it's very risk. <v Speaker 10>But you know what it is this year or what's <v Speaker 10>supposed to be black ops to follow up. They're gonna <v Speaker 10>like they're gonna continue the black ops thing here two <v Speaker 10>years in a row. But apparently it's a sequel to two. <v Speaker 10>Is the word on the street, so that black ops, <v Speaker 10>black ops. <v Speaker 1>That bang. They'll never do it, but can you imagine <v Speaker 1>turning on your x Box and it says black ops <v Speaker 1>to dance to your ex box. <v Speaker 10>Number two hyphen Roman numeral to yea. <v Speaker 8>And you're like a girl group and you're dancing. Yeah yeah, <v Speaker 8>put in its. <v Speaker 6>I would play that. <v Speaker 8>I would play that. <v Speaker 2>M okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just doing some research <v Speaker 2>for the audio. <v Speaker 1>Listening to your own research. <v Speaker 2>No, you were hurrying me. I could tell Jane. <v Speaker 8>Like that. <v Speaker 2>Okay, I'll take a vow. Then no one else it <v Speaker 2>last service, Thank you everybody. I didn't want to say it, <v Speaker 2>all right, ni. <v Speaker 1>Mm hmm. Now it's time for me to pick a <v Speaker 1>game that I like, I don't think is real. <v Speaker 2>Right, yeah, this is the that's the pick. <v Speaker 1>Again two point Museum. Like the nerds love that ship. <v Speaker 2>And it's out soon. <v Speaker 1>It's out soon. But I don't think anybody else here <v Speaker 1>is going to pick it. So I could spend a <v Speaker 1>dollar on it and sure get it and get out. <v Speaker 2>That's actually true, probably right. Wait, what is the minimum <v Speaker 2>of bid for for a one dollar? <v Speaker 1>Mm hmm? How did college football review? <v Speaker 10>Okay, yeah, I don't think that would be eligible because <v Speaker 10>now it would be a yearly installment intament, like just <v Speaker 10>updated rosters every year. <v Speaker 1>Finally, No, let's see people love Kingdom Come Deliverance. Yeah, <v Speaker 1>I'm picking Kingdom Come deliverance first one two. <v Speaker 8>Thank you for clarifying, am I though? <v Speaker 5>Are you? <v Speaker 1>Oh no, just kidding. Nobody chronicles X fuck never getting <v Speaker 1>in a car with you again. <v Speaker 6>Damn I was holding onto that one. <v Speaker 1>Yeah, sorry, gag. All right, Cam, Charlie x X this <v Speaker 1>way I could have dreaded Charlie. <v Speaker 2>She's sag that Mario song. <v Speaker 10>I watched. This is just all taken, take and taken. <v Speaker 6>Uh yeah, I just want to check something real quick. <v Speaker 4>Sure, take your time, take your time, but hurry up. <v Speaker 1>What if we do like a shoot fantasy football one year? <v Speaker 6>Who is making this? <v Speaker 1>We should do shoot fantasy. <v Speaker 4>I'll have Stacey as my proxy because she plays. <v Speaker 2>Let's do fantasy some other obscure sport. <v Speaker 1>Do they do the US? We should do it? They do? <v Speaker 1>They do one and confusing. <v Speaker 6>We should do professional tag. <v Speaker 4>Okay, fantasy is ultimate. <v Speaker 1>Let's go. <v Speaker 2>Jeremy win again. <v Speaker 6>I'm going I did uh again. <v Speaker 10>I'm k BHG. <v Speaker 1>That's a great Yeah you go, Cam. <v Speaker 6>Draft Little Nightmare is three. <v Speaker 1>Wow. <v Speaker 4>That was on my list there, Bud, look at you <v Speaker 4>a little spooky boy. <v Speaker 1>I like the uh little beet boop. It gives you. <v Speaker 3>Yeah, man, all right, let me consult my personal list. <v Speaker 4>I mean, what other list are you gonna? <v Speaker 1>Uh, you know what? You know what what? I feel <v Speaker 1>like this is a little bit of a risky risky <v Speaker 1>click here. Yeah, Halo two is not coming out this year. <v Speaker 1>It's Halo one, so yeah, just. <v Speaker 4>Do fable like that's gonna come out. <v Speaker 3>It doesn't have a release date yet, but they did <v Speaker 3>say it'll eventually come out. Oh oh, it's time to <v Speaker 3>slay the Spire again, slaying their fire. <v Speaker 1>Yeah, let me, let me, let me draft it. <v Speaker 7>Warning, it's not eligible five all right, sorry, in early access, <v Speaker 7>I will go with a sleep Wait, I can please <v Speaker 7>say this fire too right now? <v Speaker 8>Well, it's not it's planned for early access. <v Speaker 3>Okay, okay, I'll go for a sleeper pick. <v Speaker 1>Citizen sleeper too. I get it. <v Speaker 2>That's a really good pick. <v Speaker 1>All right, all right over to you, Jeff. <v Speaker 4>It's my turn, and I'm really happy I'm able to <v Speaker 4>pick this game. <v Speaker 10>Oh. <v Speaker 4>I'm very very selfish with it, very biased with it. <v Speaker 4>I'm just very happy it survived this many rounds so <v Speaker 4>that I'm to be my own I'm going to do <v Speaker 4>all the collusion necessary to bring this games score as <v Speaker 4>high as possible. <v Speaker 1>It must come out this year. It's been way too long. <v Speaker 1>No game, in my. <v Speaker 4>Opinion, has trailered better. <v Speaker 1>H I don't know if I can pick it. <v Speaker 2>Can you just tell us what it is? <v Speaker 1>I want to pick skate Story. <v Speaker 10>I'm that. <v Speaker 2>Why am I not able. <v Speaker 1>To do it? <v Speaker 6>Instead? <v Speaker 1>Speak skate Ford are eligible? <v Speaker 10>The search bar? <v Speaker 4>Hold on everyone. Okay, now we're good. <v Speaker 1>The first story. <v Speaker 4>Thank you, let's go Sam, you and me. <v Speaker 10>Okay, we are really running out of the obvious choice here. <v Speaker 10>Oh yeah, there's only a few games left on my <v Speaker 10>watch list. There are some that again, I think I <v Speaker 10>can get later off of bidding, especially since I'm going <v Speaker 10>as one of the last people here. <v Speaker 2>Just so everyone knows, if someone bids on something, there <v Speaker 2>is a way to see that it was bid on. <v Speaker 2>So you could see everything that would be bid on, <v Speaker 2>and then there's a chance for you to counterbid against it. <v Speaker 1>You have to like log in right, like yep? <v Speaker 6>Can you get like email notifications? <v Speaker 4>You should a commissioner. Can you arrange that? <v Speaker 10>I don't know if it's a site thing. <v Speaker 1>The product here and let's get it done. <v Speaker 2>You can stack like a visual come from a visual <v Speaker 2>ping thing on your Google Chrome or whatever. <v Speaker 10>Dates don't just make it. Just make a Google calendar thing. <v Speaker 10>Just remind yourself on Fridays, yeah, that's when they are alive, <v Speaker 10>like Thursday night. So I think I don't think it's <v Speaker 10>gonna do particularly well. But since I'm running out stuff <v Speaker 10>that's like guaranteed to release, I am going to pick <v Speaker 10>where can I find it here? I'm gonna pick a <v Speaker 10>Fatal Furious City of the Wolves. <v Speaker 8>Okay, that's good brand too. <v Speaker 1>I beat Mike in that game a couple of times <v Speaker 1>over over the summer. <v Speaker 10>I think, yeah, well it's a very like Third Strike <v Speaker 10>adjacent thing. <v Speaker 1>So that you ever beat me, I beat you twice <v Speaker 1>once they figured out how to tell me how to <v Speaker 1>do the baby mode. <v Speaker 5>All right, it's Jam Hot games time. I played this <v Speaker 5>for a couple of hours last year. I really enjoyed <v Speaker 5>the demo. I'm going to pick the Altars. <v Speaker 8>Yeah wow, yeah, wow. <v Speaker 5>The jam game that John didn't pick. But yeah, friend <v Speaker 5>of the show, Alex Jordan playing multiple ends. So if <v Speaker 5>if this doesn't review, well then that's on him not <v Speaker 5>kidding it all. <v Speaker 4>You come down to Minati here. <v Speaker 7>I am the last pick, and boy, there's a part <v Speaker 7>of me that really wants to to. <v Speaker 8>Be funny and pick half Life three. <v Speaker 9>I know I. <v Speaker 2>Considered it. <v Speaker 1>I consider it. <v Speaker 7>I what what's getting me now is I'm like, man, <v Speaker 7>are they really gonna I think they might announce Halfway <v Speaker 7>three this year? Are they really going to like release <v Speaker 7>it anywhere near Craft six coming out? <v Speaker 5>Right? <v Speaker 6>Did you say you think they're going to announce half <v Speaker 6>Life three this year? <v Speaker 8>I think they are. <v Speaker 2>It is a funny thing to say. <v Speaker 4>Regardless though this guy would have bet a thousand dollars <v Speaker 4>that it was coming out of the game Boy. <v Speaker 8>I was wrong about that. I think it's happening. <v Speaker 2>But I actually have a question. <v Speaker 6>If they announced a game that is half Life but <v Speaker 6>not half Life three, does that count? <v Speaker 2>What is it say? <v Speaker 8>If it seems like a main line half Life two <v Speaker 8>episode three, it's I don't think Alex wouldn't have counted. <v Speaker 10>I think I think Alex who have been like unannounced <v Speaker 10>half Life game, I don't think we have counted for <v Speaker 10>half Life three. <v Speaker 2>But this is half This is half Life three parentheses <v Speaker 2>unannounced is how it is. <v Speaker 9>Is. <v Speaker 8>Yeah, due to this point, they would just call it three, <v Speaker 8>wouldn't they. I mean, unless there's. <v Speaker 7>An Alex two, right, But I'm not gonna do it anyways, <v Speaker 7>because there's actually a couple here that I feel pretty <v Speaker 7>good about that are still here as I'm trying to <v Speaker 7>this side between them and part of it, like I <v Speaker 7>just I'll just say it, even though people could bid <v Speaker 7>on them like I could do meant of the Hallower, <v Speaker 7>which I went for last year, it actually didn't come out. <v Speaker 8>I'd be shocked if it also doesn't come out again. <v Speaker 8>Could happen? <v Speaker 7>But also Professor Layton in the New World of Esteam. <v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think that. Honestly, I think if I were <v Speaker 2>in your position, that's the one I would be picking up. <v Speaker 2>That should make you feel better. <v Speaker 7>But yeah, that feels like a relatively safe pick at <v Speaker 7>the two point Museum not taken. <v Speaker 8>Actually, uh, actually think that'll do well. <v Speaker 7>I looked at the reviews for two point in Hospital, <v Speaker 7>and I'm surprised how high they were. <v Speaker 2>How about Camp on Campus? Is their eighty three as well? Okay, <v Speaker 2>what about your pick something? <v Speaker 7>Oh right, God, I've been a pick two point museum. <v Speaker 7>Actually no, I've been to pick Professor Late and screw that. Okay, <v Speaker 7>let's go. <v Speaker 10>Are you sure? <v Speaker 6>Yes? <v Speaker 1>I'm sure? <v Speaker 6>Soon? <v Speaker 8>Is that coming out this year? It's got it? That <v Speaker 8>one is just estimating if it doesn't come out this year. <v Speaker 8>Two point is definitely coming out this year. <v Speaker 2>Oh wait, you haven't selected yet this? <v Speaker 8>Yeah, I got it. <v Speaker 10>This is good radio. Yeah alrighty, No, we are going <v Speaker 10>down the line for a counterpick. Since Dan got to <v Speaker 10>pick last going the first time round, now he gets <v Speaker 10>some counter pick first to make out for it. <v Speaker 8>So if I just picked something that doesn't come out, <v Speaker 8>is that as good as zero points? <v Speaker 2>And that's good? <v Speaker 10>Okay, so let me let me explain it. Now we're <v Speaker 10>at the counterpicking section. So here, what you want to <v Speaker 10>do is, like I said, you want to pick games <v Speaker 10>that don't perform particularly well or don't come out. It's <v Speaker 10>a reminder of the scoring system. So seventy points is <v Speaker 10>the baseline you are predicting that game. Our game will <v Speaker 10>either do under seventy points average on open credics or <v Speaker 10>will not come out. <v Speaker 1>Can we pick Silk Song? <v Speaker 8>Oh shit, I can't pick. I built a whole watch <v Speaker 8>list of like unannounced Bloodborne sequel and Donkey Kong platform game, <v Speaker 8>but it has to be ones that people have to be. <v Speaker 10>It has to be one, and so what's the fun in? <v Speaker 6>You know? <v Speaker 8>That changes my whole important to. <v Speaker 10>Note it's important to note, if the game actually does <v Speaker 10>well for each point that it's earnings, you actually lose <v Speaker 10>those points if you counter pick it. So like see, <v Speaker 10>let's let's say a game does like seventy five. So <v Speaker 10>the person who picked the game that does seventy five, <v Speaker 10>they get five points. You'll lose five points by counterpicking it. <v Speaker 10>So you're you're trying to like mitigate it. You're trying to, <v Speaker 10>like off the games that we've draft to pick the <v Speaker 10>one they think will at least do the worst out <v Speaker 10>of all of them. <v Speaker 8>Okay, okay, how did Pokemon Archeus Real eighty four? <v Speaker 1>Damn? <v Speaker 6>Pretty good? <v Speaker 10>Yeah, we got a lot of here. <v Speaker 1>That game was really good, though, is the thing yeah <v Speaker 1>about it is that it might be the best Pokemon <v Speaker 1>game they ever made. <v Speaker 10>Yeah, so that's the hard part here is like I <v Speaker 10>actually don't know if we haven't here that we'll do poorly. <v Speaker 10>So we're kind of picking games. Everything won't come out <v Speaker 10>because they will just break you. <v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's gonna be will hurt you the least. It's <v Speaker 2>going to get to that point. Probably. <v Speaker 8>Kurt and I played Little Nightmares three at Games Calm, <v Speaker 8>and it was not good. Leaning towards that I think <v Speaker 8>Mario is going to come out. Mario Kart is obviously <v Speaker 8>going to come out Borderlands Ship one pick here on <v Speaker 8>one right now. <v Speaker 10>Just one today and then one later in the year. <v Speaker 1>Man, there's GTA. <v Speaker 4>I think repick No, no, well, the pick you have <v Speaker 4>to make by September is still within the limitations of <v Speaker 4>what everyone else is picked. <v Speaker 10>Correct, correct, Yeah, but people have more games on their <v Speaker 10>roster obviously, exactly. <v Speaker 8>I see, I see, okay, Metro Prime. <v Speaker 1>Four, go for it? <v Speaker 2>Do it? <v Speaker 1>Do it? <v Speaker 10>Do it? <v Speaker 2>I dare you go ahead? Dude, I don't know. <v Speaker 10>A d d A. This is tough. <v Speaker 1>It's so hard. It really is a coin flip. I <v Speaker 1>think was you g t a Borderlands. <v Speaker 4>Which is way harder than last year. <v Speaker 8>I'll say that between Little Nightmares and Metrod Prime four, <v Speaker 8>go with a safe one, Dan, Yeah, Metrop four probably. <v Speaker 5>Not coming out. <v Speaker 8>I'm going Metrod Prime four. You fool, that's that's not <v Speaker 8>coming out this show? <v Speaker 1>What what what are you talking about? <v Speaker 10>Yeah? <v Speaker 2>You're crazy? <v Speaker 4>They did, Yeah, you're where's undo. <v Speaker 1>Con Do you remember that. <v Speaker 4>I ever seen anyone guarantee themselves a loss? <v Speaker 8>So this year. <v Speaker 2>Blue Prints we talked about about it definitely coming out. <v Speaker 2>Other games at counterpick. <v Speaker 4>Like you just got got I thought that was the <v Speaker 4>same as I. <v Speaker 8>Wow, I can't believe I first pick on metroc Print. <v Speaker 1>Is a way better. Pick is a way better coming <v Speaker 1>out this year. <v Speaker 8>I didn't know they said. I was like, I was like, wait, <v Speaker 8>talking about see. <v Speaker 13>We got to take our dubs where we can get it. <v Speaker 13>Hell yeah, alright, good, I'm drinking in here. I'm on <v Speaker 13>on the clock now. It is tough already at the <v Speaker 13>second pick, I don't I'm gonna. <v Speaker 8>Go counter big Ship. <v Speaker 2>What was what was the name of that the man <v Speaker 2>who erased his name? How did that do? <v Speaker 6>Man? <v Speaker 1>The spinoffs don't review? <v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, but I mean, god, which better it wouldn't <v Speaker 2>come out? <v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, for sure. <v Speaker 2>Yeah, And it just feels like this one is gonna <v Speaker 2>be dumb, fun and I think it might do better <v Speaker 2>than the man who erased his man Race did an <v Speaker 2>eighty on Open Critic. Okay, that's not great. Okay, I'm <v Speaker 2>just probably gonna go with the game. I don't think <v Speaker 2>it's going to come out most likely that is Grand <v Speaker 2>Theft Auto six. If it comes out, I am completely <v Speaker 2>fucked right, so risky, but that's that's. <v Speaker 1>Yeah. <v Speaker 2>But I don't think it's coming out this year. I <v Speaker 2>feel pretty good. <v Speaker 10>That game comes out. I'm assuming it gets at least <v Speaker 10>a ninety five, So yeah, you would lose thirty points. Yes, <v Speaker 10>if that's bad, that's bad, negative thirty five points. <v Speaker 1>Oh, gang, this isn'tary prime for Can we trade? Somebody? <v Speaker 10>Should? <v Speaker 8>I should have watched the trailer. <v Speaker 10>You have the direct talk remember it? I know you know, <v Speaker 10>that's why it's hilarious. <v Speaker 1>We trade counterpicks? <v Speaker 2>No, oh, I don't know. <v Speaker 10>I don't know if you can trade counterpicks. So yeah, <v Speaker 10>we do allow trading in this league, but I don't <v Speaker 10>know about counterpicks. <v Speaker 1>So the default is seventy, right, Yes, the starting spot <v Speaker 1>is seventy. <v Speaker 4>Oh sorry, right, seventy's that would be twenty five right? <v Speaker 1>Yeah? <v Speaker 10>Oh man, jeez, double points over nineties. <v Speaker 1>So this isn't one of the options. But I did <v Speaker 1>just remember that the video game to a T is <v Speaker 1>coming out, which is a video game about that by <v Speaker 1>the guy who did kinda Mari about that kid who's <v Speaker 1>stuck in the toes forever. <v Speaker 2>Now, oh, I can't wait. <v Speaker 1>And that game looks great. I think I've got a <v Speaker 1>pick of out. <v Speaker 7>Yeah, okay, it seems like a fut could really underperform. <v Speaker 2>That feels correct. It's just one of the games that <v Speaker 2>is certainly going to get counterpicked by someone. <v Speaker 6>So yeah, oh, it only has to be games that <v Speaker 6>have been picked. <v Speaker 4>By us, correct, Yes, okay, I. <v Speaker 6>Was gonna pick Marvel's Wolverine. <v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, that's that's the reason. <v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, okay, So I'm like just thinking out lauds. <v Speaker 2>I think South of Midnight when I heard it was <v Speaker 2>forty dollars, I worry about that one Borderlands for might <v Speaker 2>not come out. I picked that though, So I don't know, <v Speaker 2>and it doesn't. <v Speaker 6>Why should I pick? <v Speaker 2>There is just no great option. You could hope that <v Speaker 2>Civilization seven has a bad launch and just gets crushed <v Speaker 2>it and reviews because of that. <v Speaker 1>But Tam picked it. <v Speaker 2>Never mind, my game, it's gonna do great, Tam door. <v Speaker 6>Uh. We want to try and pick a game that <v Speaker 6>we think is going to do bad or just not appear. <v Speaker 2>Yeah, just like not do as well as as it <v Speaker 2>possibly could, because you're trying to minimize damage at this point. <v Speaker 10>Yeah, it's tough. <v Speaker 6>Let me check one thing. <v Speaker 10>We all have some pretty good lists this year. <v Speaker 1>Yeah, chat is saying pick Pokemon and bank on it <v Speaker 1>being a technical disaster that has not stopped my game. Yeah, yeah, no, <v Speaker 1>for it is Sam's game, but just as like it <v Speaker 1>has never stopped anybody from giving it a big number. <v Speaker 4>Forgive me if this was covered. If you're if the <v Speaker 4>game you counterpicked does below seventy, do you get plus points? <v Speaker 10>Yes? <v Speaker 6>Ah, yes, Actually I am going to pick either either <v Speaker 6>I will get off like a bandit or I will <v Speaker 6>absolutely get fucked sure and manifest something that people have <v Speaker 6>wanted for age. I'm gonna pick holl of Night. <v Speaker 1>So that worked out for me last year too. <v Speaker 4>Okay, I think there's no more bad picks in this <v Speaker 4>sort of category unless you picked Metroid. But yeah, like <v Speaker 4>I don't think it exists. <v Speaker 1>We're gonna where's Dan. <v Speaker 4>He went to Japan on some sort of sabotage mission. <v Speaker 1>You don't know what Dan. <v Speaker 2>If Dan luck somehow happens and makes that game either <v Speaker 2>come out and be terrible or come out and or <v Speaker 2>not come out, I'm gonna be angry you did it. <v Speaker 6>Yeah, that's no way Nintendo lets that game come out <v Speaker 6>and it's bad. <v Speaker 10>Yeah, ilay that game? <v Speaker 3>Yeah all right, My California Pizza Kitchen is Borderlands for. <v Speaker 1>I love that. <v Speaker 4>Jan you're the best. <v Speaker 6>Jan This is another Pokemon situation though you know it's <v Speaker 6>another post games. Come on, they just all right, so <v Speaker 6>bad and people are like, this is the greatest game. <v Speaker 4>Of it's my turn, and I don't know what everyone's doing, <v Speaker 4>not choosing anything that Lucy chose based on. <v Speaker 1>No offense. <v Speaker 4>Lucy, you know I love you, But what the fuck <v Speaker 4>is the Altars? I have no idea. <v Speaker 7>This is coole as ship, dude. <v Speaker 10>Let me do it. <v Speaker 8>Trying to trick you. <v Speaker 4>I mean, I don't know what the Blue Prince is either, <v Speaker 4>what is happening? <v Speaker 6>There's there's more. <v Speaker 5>Sorry that I've got my ear to the ground more. <v Speaker 1>Than you, jes. <v Speaker 4>The funny thing is like, the funny thing is like <v Speaker 4>I can the best I can hope for with this <v Speaker 4>is like I want to pick like a game that <v Speaker 4>gets like a sixty nine, you know, like or seventy one, <v Speaker 4>all exactly exactly. <v Speaker 7>Here's a suggestion, though so far three of Greb's four <v Speaker 7>games have been counterpicked. <v Speaker 8>You could just make it even spread. <v Speaker 2>Their Yeah, do that? Come on? <v Speaker 4>Oh no, no, I think I think the Ghost games <v Speaker 4>coming out for sure. All right, I'm gonna pick the blueprints. <v Speaker 4>I don't know I don't know enough about it. I <v Speaker 4>want to count of pick it. <v Speaker 6>That's a mistake, is it? <v Speaker 1>Yeah? It could be. It just could be a huge mistake. <v Speaker 1>Who is to say huge? Miss uh? <v Speaker 9>Man? <v Speaker 1>Now do it? Do it? Stick to your guns? <v Speaker 5>Because I got a pee. <v Speaker 4>Everyone's talking so fast. No, I I took it. <v Speaker 10>Yes, blueprints, Okay, so I'm next up. Yeah, not a <v Speaker 10>lot of options. Let me actually do the list here, <v Speaker 10>which I think will do the worst out of all these. Boy, <v Speaker 10>there's some good looking games on this list. Hm hmm. <v Speaker 10>It's a matter of if it comes out. <v Speaker 1>Listen, that's a great three dollars game. <v Speaker 14>Tam uh was I gonna We're just we're just mitigating <v Speaker 14>damage here, And based off of something someone said, I <v Speaker 14>do think I'm gonna go with Little Nimers three, not <v Speaker 14>just because of what Dan said, but because they those <v Speaker 14>games scored like high seventies to eighty. <v Speaker 10>So if I lose ten points, that's not like the <v Speaker 10>end of the world. Yeah, and I'm not going to <v Speaker 10>cough day about our stuff not coming out. <v Speaker 6>Yeah, they're an awkward triactuary though. <v Speaker 8>Okay, it's me. <v Speaker 5>I again to what Sean said, This is about mitigating damage. <v Speaker 5>I think this game will probably be in the sevens <v Speaker 5>and eights based on what I played, or at least <v Speaker 5>it's just not a game for me. Assassin's Creed Shadows. <v Speaker 2>Wow, I could easily be high seventies. <v Speaker 10>Yeah, I was thinking about as well. <v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, it. <v Speaker 5>Was just I don't know. I think some people will <v Speaker 5>really enjoy it, but I also think that like they're <v Speaker 5>trying to cater to both sides of Assassin's fans and <v Speaker 5>they're not really doing it very well. And also like, <v Speaker 5>so yeah, where Ghost of Yota is coming out, I <v Speaker 5>don't know that. I think they really have to do <v Speaker 5>something special. <v Speaker 10>Mikey doesn't have a lot to work with here. <v Speaker 5>Yeah. <v Speaker 7>By the way, yeah, like I don't know much about Wonderstop, <v Speaker 7>but when I look at it, it doesn't you know. <v Speaker 8>It's because of games of course. <v Speaker 7>I'm like, I don't think that's very interesting, but it's <v Speaker 7>projected to earn ten points on this site, which scares <v Speaker 7>me a little bit. <v Speaker 8>Slight of hand. <v Speaker 7>That's like, it seems like a pretty ambitious game of <v Speaker 7>a lot of things. It looks cool, but I could <v Speaker 7>see that like just not all coming together somehow. So yeah, <v Speaker 7>I think I will go with that I think I <v Speaker 7>will go with Sleight of Hand as my counterpick. <v Speaker 2>Okay, well, that's that's a Game of the year favorite, Mike, <v Speaker 2>you really messed up bang It Ship. <v Speaker 5>Wait wait, what was your counterpick of hand? Okay, well <v Speaker 5>I was gonna I was gonna say, because Wonder Stop <v Speaker 5>is being done by the Stanley Parable guy. <v Speaker 8>Oh, that would have. <v Speaker 10>Been such are we did? Everybody? Draft is over. That's <v Speaker 10>all of our initial picks, while we just quickly go <v Speaker 10>down the line and say what we each picked, and <v Speaker 10>then our one counterpick sounds good? All right? Mate? <v Speaker 7>Uh Midnster Hunter Wilds has unannounced mainline three D Mario <v Speaker 7>platformer Claire Obscure Expedition thirty three, Ninja Kite in four <v Speaker 7>two point Museum in the counterpick of Sleight of Hand. <v Speaker 5>Jam Hot Games this Year has a packed slate of <v Speaker 5>Monster Hunter Wild's Blueprints, Wonder Stop and the Altars, and <v Speaker 5>the counterpick is Assassin's Green Shadows. <v Speaker 10>All right, play stay Sean, coming in hot with the <v Speaker 10>nerdy games for you' all. We got some Doom The <v Speaker 10>Dark Ages, Dragon Quest one and two HD two D <v Speaker 10>remake Trails in the Sky first chapter, Fatal Fury, City <v Speaker 10>of the Wolves, and we have counterpicked Little Nightmares three. <v Speaker 4>All right, uh, my publisher even more important game company. <v Speaker 4>I'm also currently now getting Google ads for Crowndesigners dot com.

My counterpick is Hollow Night, Silk. <v Speaker 1>Song Nintendo to run by me Nicky Grayson.

My counterpick is Metroid Prime four. <v Speaker 8>What there's no evidence, I said, twenty twenty five Champions, he's. <v Speaker 1>Been so quiet? <v Speaker 10>Lutes All right, friendly reminder that so now we have <v Speaker 10>our four games of the ten that you have on <v Speaker 10>your list this year. I didn't mention this at the top, <v Speaker 10>but if a game gets confirmed to not come out, <v Speaker 10>I think it makes a little easier on everyone. If <v Speaker 10>it's confirmed not come out, you can drop it from <v Speaker 10>your team just freely. You just do go and do that, <v Speaker 10>and you get one unconditional drop as well, but only one. <v Speaker 10>And from here on out, we each have a fictional <v Speaker 10>hundred dollars to use on the bidding process. Every week <v Speaker 10>you can bid on a game, and then I believe <v Speaker 10>Thursday night it gets revealed what games have been bid on. <v Speaker 10>In case you forget about something and you're like, oh, <v Speaker 10>I want to try to grab that, and you can <v Speaker 10>put a bid in for that or a bid for <v Speaker 10>a counter pick as well.
