This is going back over a decade, so not sure how many people remember it, but here is a true local Toronto Icon.

@JojoTheWhale Two picks in under 4 hours. Will miracles never cease?

I would realize I’m up 8 minutes before a PoE2 Closed Beta starts. Speedrun time.

Team Card Game: Race For The Galaxy

An all-time classic. Simple to teach and quick to play once you’ve played a game. You build a tableau in front of you that scores points. Most points wins. But the twist is that you buy cards with the other cards in your hand. That keeps it fresh on replays and this version in particular plays extremely well with 2-4 people. Finding something that plays well with 2 is a lot harder than you might think. I would not personally suggest eating the components but this lad from the internet disagrees. That’s ok too.

Hurry the f*** up, @JojoTheWhale

I had to get Michael Ironside in here somewhere. Now that just leaves RANCH to shoehorn in too.

Team Villain: Richter from Total Recall

Look at that miserable prick. I love him immeasurably.

@pit I’m off to make a chaos degen build and no one can stop me. Hopefully it doesn’t suck.

I waited too long on picking a Knight of the Round Table. It's like I traded back from picking Zeev Buium because I really love third round picks and just went "Well damn, only Luchanko left?"

Anyway, I'm going with a lesser known Knight of the Round Table because he was apparently quite bad ass and also because in the midst of a feud with three brother knights he bedded their widowed mother to exact revenge on them.

Is it thematic for us in any way? No. Have I given up on paring down the remaining somewhat random Knights of the Round Table? Yes.

Welcome the pick of indifference - Sir Lamorak.

Alongside Lancelot and Tristan, Sir Lamorak was one of the three strongest Knights of the Round Table but, for whatever reason, is much less famous today than his brother Percival. Lamorak was one of the sons of King Pellinore, who was himself sometimes included on the list of Round Table knights.

A bold, confident man who was quick to anger, Lamorak was an exceptionally skilled knight on the field of battle. But in peacetime, he sometimes caused trouble. In Arthurian legend, it is said that he could fight off more than 30 other knights at once, making him one of Arthur’s most valuable allies.

His actions off the field of battle brought about his demise. As part of a long-running family feud between himself and the brothers Sir Gawain, Sir Agravain, Sir Mordred, and Sir Gaheris, Lamorak seduced their widowed mother and bedded her.

Sir Gaheris caught them in the act and is said to have killed his mother on the spot. Gaheris only spared Lamorak because he was unarmed. After rejecting King Arthur’s offer to settle the dispute for them, Lamorak was ambushed by the brothers and murdered.[1] Sources vary as to which brother actually killed Lamorak.

@Magua , it is your pick. See you in 2025 or maybe 2026 for the last pick of the round.

He killed his mom, she must have been packing some heat since he didn’t kill the unarmed dude. Moms was gangsta.
