NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread – SUPER F***ING AMAZING PHASE TWENTY-FIVE!

[Hollywood Cannon]

I've been an Xbox Guy since the 360, but Young Magua used to lead a very different life......

The Honolulu Ghibli get our DualShock on with our Team Video Game System: the PlayStation 2

I had a PS1, but my age group was only dipping its toes into console gaming at that point. The PS2 was when I became a man. A very very prepubescent man.

That was the first console in my lifetime that felt like we stepped into The Future.....

It's the all-time best selling console for a reason. It's breadth of original titles is perhaps unbeaten: San Andreas, Vice City, Socom, Pro Skater 2, Final Fantasy X, Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, Okami, MGS2, MGS3: Snake Eater, Bully, Silent Hill 2, God of War, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Kingdom Hearts, Dark Cloud 2, Dragon Quest VIII, Gran Turismo 3, TimeSplitters, Guitar Hero 1, SSX.

And it was a f***ing DVD player!

********

@Hollywood Cannon -- couch co-op?

Sniped.

Just unbelievably rude.

 

[Lord Defect]

You

I pity all the youngins who didn't get a chance to grow up with this system. You missed out on a very important fundamental building block of life and it has seriously stunted you as human beings navigating through and integrating into society. The 16 bit revolution was real, and it changed people for the better.

Team Video Game System - Sega Genesis

@BernieParent JOIN THE 16 BIT REVOLUTION (just make a pick first so you don't get bogged down with the revolution and everything).

rat bastard

Sounds very familiar

For me the order went
Ps1
Ps2
PS3
Xbox 360
Xbox one
Xbox series x

Also, Jak and Dexter, Ratchet and Clank, and Timesplitters were all incredible.

You missed the greatest of them all - "Return to Castle Wolfenstein."

That came out on PC first. I was just listing all the best games that were exclusive or made for PS2.

No pick tipping!

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Alright, well after getting sniped we figured sometimes to move forward you have to go backwards so we're going to select as our Official Team Video Game System...

Playstation

The OG, of course, was my first entry to the world of video games in a serious manner. It had some of my favorites that spawned a life long appreciation for some of the series'. Some that have already been mentioned but I have to give them their dues.

THPS
Crash Bandicoot
Crash Team Racing
Spyro
Metal Gear Solid
Twisted Metal
Final Fantasy
Silent Hill
Resident Evil
Gran Turismo
Final Fantasy

I gotta get this category out of the way before I am left with something that i've never played before.

@mja you're up, my friend.

 

[Striiker]

[mja]

Thank you, HC.

As you all may recall, I got a little upset when @Rebels57 sniped me on brisket. After all, it was so close that I could almost taste it, but then he shambled in and stole it from me, like a drunk at a BBQ cutting in line and getting the very last serving, leaving you standing there disappointed with an empty paper plate in your pathetic hands.

But sometimes getting sniped is a good thing, sometimes it opens up your mind to a better pick. I suddenly realized that not only could I still get brisket, but that I could also do it in a way that would really honor the proud Flaming Zeppelins tradition that started one fateful day at Lakehurst, NJ in 1937. And as we all know from a certain disaster of a hockey team, it's all about tradition.

@Rebels57 - c'mon, put down that drink, it's only Monday!

@mja you're up, my friend.

You left the best video game in history off the list. Though that was shared with the [RANCH} and later ported to the XBox 360.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Did you see that game-closing call? That has been happening over and over for 50 years.

We start the day with @Rebels57 on the clock, @GKJ on deck, @Lord Defect on the lido deck, and Toejam on the lido aftertoe with two jams.

I'm catching up on Marvel and watched "Moon Knight" for two days. Those were two days I'll never get back. Next up is the latest "Doctor Strange." I'm not looking forward to Cumberbund's swirly tuxedo bullshit, but I'll fight through it. Even the last "Spider-Man" was pretty bad, especially since my torrent was a cam recorded in the theater lol even though it came out last year. Not a great little period for TV, and it's only going to get worse as things in storage get exhausted so the awful writers working in Hollywood right now can line their pockets.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

So...

We had Thatcher Venmo's birthday party on Sunday. Had some family and friends over and rented a big bounce house with a slide for him to play with.

So it's time to sing happy birthday to him and we got him a nice ice cream themed funfetti cake. It looks beautiful from the outside. We cut it open and it's a marble cake with raspberry filling which obviously isn't what we ordered. Whatever, we're pretty easy going so didn't really care that much.

I wanted HCette to call and just bring it to their attention. We weren't asking for a refund or anything just wanted to point it out so that maybe they won't make the same mistake in the future. They were closed yesterday but today she called and while I wasn't there for the phone call she just texts me saying that "they are giving a 25 dollar credit on a 70 dollar cake lol."

Am I the asshole for getting more upset at that gesture than I was before?

Did she include the "lol"?

Word for word (to me). I would not want to misquote HCette.

I had the most incoherent console path.

SNES
DreamCast
GameCube
Xbox 360
Xbox One

skipped the N64/PS1 generation entirely. played mostly handhelds: Game Gear, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, DS, and now Switch Lite.

Game Gear was a banger. I have battery-powered guitar amps that eat AAs slower than that thing.

So they’re giving you credit to buy a new cake at a place that f***ed up your order? That’s wasted credit imo.

I’m unsure if the credit is back on my card or just on account at the bakery.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Either way, I always think "getting upset" is the right choice IMO.

Also, why the f*** would anyone choose raspberry in their cake?

No I bailed out of those games at halftime. Holy shit.

I would. I do. It's f***ing good.

Why do you hate raspberries? Funfetti is the real crime in that case.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

You're not the asshole, but this shit really isn't worth a second thought letting alone getting upset unless there's more to the story. If the cake served its purpose, never waste a second thinking about it again. It's a cake.

 

[Striiker]

Am I the asshole for getting more upset at that gesture than I was before?

No because that’s them saying “we acknowledge that we screwed up and didn’t give you what you paid for… but we’re still keeping most of your money”.
