ice4277 · 01-26-2004, 07:22 AM

With his first pick in the draft, ice4277 selects...

Sonic The Hedgehog

This was the character I was hoping would be there at the sixth pick. In my mind, he is the third most popular video game character ever. When you think of Sega, the first thing you think of is Sonic. His last couple games may have been lacking but some of the best times I had playing video games when I was younger came from the first three Sonic games on my Genesis.

Danny · 01-26-2004, 07:25 AM

Nice pick. I was hoping Mr. Hog would fall to me.

cthomer5000 · 01-26-2004, 09:05 AM

I seriously considered Sonic with the #2 overall pick. A very solid character, who would definitely get a bonus for clearly being the king of his console. Sonic absolutely definied Sega.

FargoFreez aka fof playa · 01-26-2004, 09:26 AM

Boy, the sun is shining and there ain't a cloud in the sky.

You know what to do T-P.

Danny · 01-26-2004, 09:56 AM

Fargo, dont be giving TP any ideas you hear.

Maple Leafs · 01-26-2004, 12:15 PM

TargetPractice6 has just under two hours at make his pick - as of 3:00 eastern, the next teams can start jumping ahead of him.

Calis · 01-26-2004, 12:45 PM

Are we counting PC Games as "Video Games" in this?

The age old argument.

Pac Man · 01-26-2004, 12:47 PM

TP pm'd Pac Man with his pick. He selects Princess from Mario Brothers 2.

FargoFreez aka fof playa · 01-26-2004, 12:59 PM

Can I pick for TP if he doesn't show?

Maple Leafs · 01-26-2004, 01:06 PM

Sure, since he took your spot I guess that's fair.

FargoFreez aka fof playa · 01-26-2004, 01:07 PM

I'll obviously wait until 3est, but checking on his post times lead me to believe that he won't be around until 4.

Calis · 01-26-2004, 01:52 PM

Ughh, hope you don't take my pick!

Just two more to go..

FargoFreez aka fof playa · 01-26-2004, 01:58 PM

FargoFreez aka fof playa · 01-26-2004, 01:58 PM

I will select Cloud Strife, of Final Fantasy VII.

Calis · 01-26-2004, 02:01 PM

Not a bad pick, I'm not a big FFVII fan, but I know I'm in the minority there.

I wondered when he'd go, thought his lack of total appearances might hurt him somewhat.

SirFozzie · 01-26-2004, 02:01 PM

Total reach to me. Maybe.. MAYBE a 3rd or 4th rounder.

The fans are booing the GM right now.

FargoFreez aka fof playa · 01-26-2004, 02:02 PM

Oh, give me a break.

TredWel · 01-26-2004, 02:25 PM

Definitely a first round reach. Cloud would have slipped to (at least) the second round.

That being said, he should be the first Final Fantasy character taken (justly or not).

But, yeah. I can think of at least five other characters still on the board who deserve to be taken first.

Primal · 01-26-2004, 02:26 PM

Lets go Roger Wilko

ice4277 · 01-26-2004, 02:28 PM

Wow. I thought I would easily be able to get Cloud in the second round.

TargetPractice6 · 01-26-2004, 02:29 PM

Wow... I thought I'd atleast have until 3:30 when I get home. Guess not. Fargo you can have your spot back.

TargetPractice6 · 01-26-2004, 02:39 PM

Unless I could make the pick I actually wanted... Somebody who at least deserves to go in the first round.

FargoFreez aka fof playa · 01-26-2004, 02:42 PM

Cry me a river.

FargoFreez aka fof playa · 01-26-2004, 02:44 PM

You might as well let him make another pick as EagleEye isn't here.

FargoFreez aka fof playa · 01-26-2004, 02:54 PM

Well, make a pick you baby.

albionmoonlight · 01-26-2004, 02:57 PM

Ummm . . .while I expect the video game draft thread to spawn a lot of trash talking, I also expect it to be of the friendly (Pac-Mac can kick Donkey Kong's ass) type. No need to actually get mad in here.

rkmsuf · 01-26-2004, 02:58 PM

The dorks are getting angry...

Desnudo · 01-26-2004, 02:59 PM

Cat fight!

Maple Leafs · 01-26-2004, 02:59 PM

If they want to change their pick, Target and Fargo can work it out between them (via PM, if possible).

FargoFreez aka fof playa · 01-26-2004, 03:07 PM

Uh, TargetPractice6, here's your cue to get your head off your mom's shoulder and make a fucking pick cause I'm not playing. I was just trying to do another favor for you.

Good lawd! Does anyone believe in karma??

TargetPractice6 · 01-26-2004, 03:15 PM

Well from the rules I wasn't expecting my pick to be taken. When I left this morning ice hadn't made his pick so I though he would be on the clock at 9am. Even still I didn't expect somebody to pick for me. However, I suppose I over-reacted.

Desnudo · 01-26-2004, 03:24 PM

Can we get a decision here please? Keep or repick. No offense, but I'd like to see this thing move along.

TargetPractice6 · 01-26-2004, 03:25 PM

Well I suppose I'll go ahead an announce my pick (or who I would have picked) and see what happens

7. Mega Man

Behind the hideous box art in 1987 was a classic game that went on to spawn a countless number of sequels and spin-offs for an eqaully countless number of systems.

TredWel · 01-26-2004, 03:28 PM

There we go. That's what a first round pick is supposed to look like!

mckerney · 01-26-2004, 03:48 PM

Someone pick Leisure Suit Larry already.

Racer · 01-26-2004, 03:50 PM

May I pick for EagleEye11?

Vince · 01-26-2004, 04:15 PM

Excellent pick TP. I agree that Cloud was a bit of a reach...and I disagree that he should be the first FF character chosen.

The thing about the FF series is, its really tough to pick one character out of each game and say they are that much more memorable than another. Most of the characters are very memorable, especially those from VII. Thats why I think it is pretty tough to pick one that early.

Yeah, but as much as I dislike FF7 compared to the superior SNES counterparts, I think another FF7 character deserves to be the first taken from that series.

And with that- the "slam dunk" first round picks are off the board.

SI

Vince · 01-26-2004, 04:37 PM

Dude, there is totally an FF character who to me is the 'slam dunk' of the FF series. But I'll leave him for me

Danny · 01-26-2004, 04:38 PM

Im here and about to pick now. Get ready for a shocker.

Duke Nukem must have had bad combine scores

Duke Nukem has some sprite games, a mediocre FPS (that would have been cool but took so long to release that a lot of games passed it by), and a piece of vaporware so he's got some credibility issues of late.
