Be Excellent To Each Other

To be jokes, they'd have to be funny first.

-edit- Did you never vist World of ("Linda" - Ed)?

How about "top 50 most overrated" games?

Give me 2 quid or I'll give you a chinese burn and nick your dinner money... again.

RuySan you could easily swap the 'Linda' for 'Flat top' or 'Man brat' ifyuseeworrameen.

no, i don't

Any clearer?

Do you not remember the horrifying infinite Hoff Crotch?

I know who she is. I just don't understand the WoS/WoLinda joke. Or maybe i do but its just not funny.

BANNED.

Me. Though, admittedly, 'me' isn't a number.


No. In fact, it made top ten in a poorly-written list I did a few years ago.

Interesting.

Secret Of Mana wasn't #10. I can't remember what was, but yeah, probably a tenth as good as Mana, FFIII or Mario 64.

Very well. In which case I will ask: who here honestly thought that their first place game was three times better than their third place game?

Oops. My maths is bad. Ignore me.

So were my linguistics in that quoted post, evidently.

I like Tsu's idea around the weighting, though I think that one first place is worth more than two tenth places. I'm not sure exactly how you'd slide the scale though.

(though obviously we're not changing the list now).

Genuine FTFY.

[puts away cricket bat]

Still need people to write up this lot:

8. Wario Ware - 30
9. Super Mario Galaxy - 28.25 *
12. Civilisation IV - 25.25 *
17 Zelda: Ocarina of Time - 21.25 *
32. Gravity Power - 12
37. Championship Manager 01/02 - 10
39. Landstalker - 10
40. Samurai Warriors 2 Empires - 10
41. World Of Warcraft - 10
42. Hypersports - 10
46. Quake - 10

Don't make me have to cobble something crap together from Wikipedia!

And these ones are on the "I'll do them if no-one else will" list, so feel free to blag these if you want them:

(DG) 1. Resident Evil 4 - 46.5 *
(DG) 11. Elite - 26
(DG) 34. Deus Ex - 12
(DG) 50. Syndicate - 9

Surely all those ones with ten points are just there because someone voted them their favourite game of all time and therefore should be forced at gunpoint to do the write up?

I suppose I'll have to do Champ Man and Gravity Power as well, then.

That's my thinking, yes. I need a gun. And your home addresses.

Stu likes Super Mario Galaxy.

Not in all cases, no.

And same for the top 9 pointer IIRC.

If we get stuck I demand Chinny harrass via PM those who voted for whichever games are left.

DID YOU CONSULT THE BOARD?



See?

That'll be fun, there's about 45 votes all with 10 games in them.

Of the ones left, I've only played Deus Ex and Syndicate.

I'll do Civ 4.

I can also do Super Mario Galaxy if you want someone who hated it to do a review?



Also, how can we be struggling to get someone to write about the #1 game? Surely it got loads of votes?

Yeah, I'm a little confused about that too. Maybe no-one wants to commit to writing the top dog? Fortunately it's a game I'm happy covering though, having completed it twice.

The board says "H".

Steps must be taken.

42. Hypersports - 10

My fav game , however what do people want as a writeup , i'm not a writer and have no idea what the expecation is for this 'paragraph' about the game , "Its a game , things happen you jump around n stuff" or "Its Wii sports version 0.1" :-)

In any event stick my name next to this one and i'll sort out something but it might be after i see what someone else has written about any other one.

There are also 2 others from my list in the doc's section

(DG) 1. Resident Evil 4 - 46.5 *
(DG) 11. Elite - 26

I know nothing about it, so pitch me a paragraph convincing me why I should play it. Either because it's historically important, or it's really good fun, or a bit of both.

Put me down for Galaxy if no-one who voted for it volunteers. I at least liked it, although I don't believe it deserves to be in there ahead of Super Mario Bros 3...

I'll do quake 3

Brilliant! That leaves just four games I really need writers for:

17 Zelda: Ocarina of Time - 21.25 *
39. Landstalker - 10
40. Samurai Warriors 2 Empires - 10
41. World Of Warcraft - 10

To those who have contributed writeups already, many thanks, I am compiling a master document ready for editing.

I could probably do World of Warcraft if nobody else steps up, though I didn't contribute to the vote and I'm rubbish at writing things well. It's low down, mind, so it's not as if much of a write-up is needed.

This counts as volunteering.

SW2E has to be Nirejhenge - he's massively wet for the whole series.

Bastard. Fair enough. I'll get something done tomorrow.

Should mention this site for champ man, group of people keeping the game updated.

http://www.champman0102.co.uk/

I'll take Landstalker too.

I was hoping you'd turn up. You can do Champ Man.

Got RE4 (Wii Version) on it's way from Goozex (only 200points!) in celebration of this thread.

I must get round to writing something about Ico...

I should really try to get out of the first village.

That village isn't that hard, keep moving and get in a dash-through-the-buildings-to-the-top-grabbing-ammo-and-pushing-away-ladders-then-onto-the-next-building-pattern. And don't forget to shove/kick when they're close.

Myps to do list:

Play through RE4
Play through Ico
Play through SotC
Stop liking French cars
Stop being a shallow bastard

How's the article coming along? I've submitted all my stuff.

I haven't done any of mine yet as I'm pretty busy at work and only have my phone at home. I'll try to do some at lunch.
