NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread – A WHOLE NOTHER PHASE TWENTY-ONE!

[Beef Invictus]

While on a dog walk pondering about music videos and why we haven’t done this before and how we should certainly have a Part II in future rounds, I had an idea for another music category, since we are all music lovers except @Striiker who prefers the sound of refrigerator whirs and the heater blowing and dry mouth smacking and virtual guns going pew pew and that hum in your brain when everything is quiet…..

Team Last Scene/Credits Song. I prefer it in a movie/tv context, but I guess you could just call it an outro song. But I don’t prefer it that way.

I immediately had two wildly divergent ideas

I’ll have you know I have over 600 songs on my phone.

I’ll have you know I have over 600 songs on my phone.

Each one is part of a soundtrack for a F&F movie aren’t they?

 

[Striiker]

only some of them

Sorry for the wait. Again.

"The owners of the Tampa Bay FireSticks are delighted to return to the days of the video arcade, where we spent a fortune in quarters on the many exciting games at our disposal. For our selection of Team Arcade Game, we will select the one that certainly ate most of our pocket money over the years: Robotron 2084.

"It was a no-frills dual-joystick killfest that required the dexterity to dodge and shoot, seemingly in all directions at once. Kill the robots, save the people, circle through the hordes. What's better is that it was among the few double-player cooperative games available at the time.

"Scattered around the playfield are slow-moving "humanoids" to rescue, clones of the last human family consisting of Mommy, Daddy and Mikey. Touching each of these clones before they are killed by Hulks or Brains earns the player 1000 to 5000 points, progressively in steps of 1000, which resets to 1000 points if the player dies or the "wave"\x9D changes. The game is not winnable so death is an eventual certainty, but an extra life is earned every 25000 points, making rescuing humanoids an important objective. This is especially true in levels featuring a certain enemy, which can grab onto the humanoids and mutate them into super-fast death machines.

"As Trent Reznor was quoted as saying: 'A game like Robotron ... that separates the men from the boys.'

"Countdown, humanoid, countdown @ajgoal ."

 

[Striiker]

@ajgoal it’s your turn. I don’t think BP’s mention worked.

 

[Asnito]

I haven't read the OP by the way, I'm just making up categories and hoping they match up. How is it going so far?

By any chance are you related to Defect?

 

[mja]

I’ll have you know I have over 600 songs on my phone.

Your 2022 playlist?

 

[ajgoal]

The Stay Pufts will select for our cartoonist, Kevin Eastman; creator(ok co creator) of the Teen age Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I don't know if you can have him, as we have Splinter. I'll leave that up to @Captain Dave Poulin and @Hollywood Cannon

 

[Striiker]

Your 2022 playlist?

I’ve never heard of a single one of those songs

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I defer to my brother. He’s the one that made it a category six.

 

[ajgoal]

Capcom made a ton of great video games, didn't they?

Another 4-player game. We threw stupid amounts of quarters into this, especially when we decided to NOT bypass the red dragon...

While I played any number of other games, this one is the one I gravitated towards once I had more than a couple dollars. I only ever remember it being in the arcade at the Cherry Hill Mall.

Team Arcade Game: Tower of Doom

For our Team Arcade Game, the Honolulu Ghibli dip into our childhood for a co-op game that blew our mind........

Time Crisis II

One of the best light gun games of all time, with an innovative cover system, this was one of THE games in the late 90s-mid 2000s which you'd load the heck up with tokens. Two screens, holy mama. One of the smoothest pew pew arcade games ever.

I met one of my long-time friends online for gaming this evening, and I asked him what arcade game he would choose from all the ones we used to play together. Without a second's hesitation, he said Robotron. Pick verified.

Any thoughts, gentlemen?

@Asnito , is your mind for rent to any god or government?

Great pick, Toe. That said, how can you be a Bobby Lee fan and turn your nose up at MacGruber? You are one mysterious little being, Toe.

My poor laptop is f***ed. My poor, old Thai laptop. I am f***ed.

We start the day with @Asnito on the clock, @CanadianFlyer88 on deck, @GKJ on the lido deck, and Chuckles on the lido afterdeck.

"Heart Signal China - Season 4" ended as expected and all is well. That's all the energy this poor machine has the time for.

If you start a GoFundMe I will send you a crisp digital $100 towards a new laptop.

Thank you kindly for the thought. At the moment that seems too embarrassing, but stay tuned.

He could buy $100 or so in quackverse swag. Embarrassment gone, and he gets something out of it.

He'd probably need to buy like $3,000 worth of quackverse swag for Cap to get $100 out of it.
