Topic | The Great 2022 Video Game Challenge |
MZero 12/31/21 10:56:01 PM #1 | Happy New Year! Good luck to everyone who participates in this. Credit goes to tazzyboyishere for first starting this in 2016, and Robazoid for carrying the torch through 2020. Basically, there are 50 challenges outlined below that will require you to beat 52 games total. This isn't a competition and there's no prize for winning aside from a sense of accomplishment. This is just a fun thing to participate in while we all work through our video game libraries. It also gives us a place to discuss what we're playing. Feel free to join in! Changes from last year: I decided to combine the WRPG and JRPG categories as well as the FPS and third-person shooter categories. I feel like the lines have blurred with JRPG-esque games developed in the west and WRPG-esque games developed in Japan, and there's not much need to separate them. I don't feel the shooting categories need to be separated either, and a lot of games can switch between perspectives anyway. In their place, I added a category for indie games (surprised there wasn't one already!) and one for simulation games, two categories I feel like have seen a lot of growth in recent years. Of course, the Years categories have been moved forward by one year. Rules: - A single playthrough of a game can only be used for one challenge - Use your own judgment to decide if game fits in a certain category - Games started in 2020 or earlier are fine as long as they're finished in 2021 - Please add your own games to the spreadsheet linked to below, which anyone can edit - When using the spreadsheet, please don't mess with checklists/tallies that aren't yours - There's a tab listing favorite games in the spreadsheet if you need help with Challenge 42 - If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zh9gEuppguONyYfioh4xEGKafqN1KGpKn3SRFOryAV8/edit?usp=sharing Challenges: Years (5) 1. Beat a game released before 1992 2.

Topic | B8 NFL Ladder Contest 2021 Week 17 |
MZero 12/31/21 12:46:21 AM #1 | A few ground rules: -Please say which level you are on when you post your pick. In most cases it will be obvious, but this makes it easier for me to record the picks. -The deadline to make a pick is before kick-off of the game in question. You cannot pick a game that has already started. Some levels may have different deadlines, so read carefully. -The deadline to answer the bonus question is at the start of games on Sunday (1 PM ET). -Please don't edit your picks. If you'd like to change, please do so in a clearly labeled new post. -I get my spreads from an online site providing lines from several sources, both in Vegas and out. Although these sources may continue to change their lines throughout the week, the ones I post in the topic are frozen and final for our purposes. -You may use bonus points to skip any level after it is guaranteed you cannot pass it (at the end of the week's games, typically). If you have earned a bonus point during the same week, it is eligible to be used. You may only skip the level before I have posted the next week's topic. The price for skipping is in proportion to the level you are skipping. Skipping level 1 would take 1 bonus point, level 2 will take 2, level 5 will take 5. So on and so forth. Explanation of Levels: Level 1: Pick a winner. Simply pick one team to win their game. If they win, you go on to level 2. Level 2: Pick an Underdog to win. You must pick a team that is an underdog to win their game. Underdogs will always be the team listed second. Level 3: 2 Games with Spread. Using the spreads I provide, pick 2 games. You must get both correct to move on. Spreads work by giving (-) or getting (+) points. The team that is the favorite to win "gives" points to the underdog. If you choose the favorite to win, they must still win after "giving" those points to the underdog. If you choose the underdog, you would be correct if they win the game after "getting" those points. For example, if a game says "Giants (-2.5) vs. Cowboys," if you pick the Giants, they must actually win the game by at least three points; if you pick the Cowboys, you would win if they actually won the game or lost by two points or less. Level 4: 2 Game differentials. Pick two games and specify them to have a score differential of either 10+ or 5-. Make sure to specify which you pick, if you pick a score to be 10+ and the score ends up 3 apart, you do not advance. You do not need to pick the winner, as long as the differential is correct, it does not matter which team wins. Level 5: 2 Over/Unders: I will now provide over/unders for each game. This number relates to the final score. You must choose 2 of the games and decide whether the final score will be OVER the number I provided or UNDER the number I provided. You must get both of these correct to advance. Level 6: Pleaser: Pick one team to win using the spread, but with the pleaser, you lose 6 points on the spread. In other words, add six points in whichever direction makes it harder to win. For example, a (-2.5) spread becomes (-8.5), a (+3.5) becomes a (-2.5) spread, etc. Level 7: QB, RB, WR: Pick 1 player to throw a touchdown pass, 1 player to rush for a touchdown, and 1 player to catch a touchdown pass. They must all be from different teams, and must also combine for at least 4 touchdowns in their respective positions. Typically you will be picking a QB, RB, and WR, but you may pick players from other positions to fill those roles (i.e. a TE or RB to get a receiving touchdown). You must make it clear what role you are picking the players for if it is not the standard QB/RB/WR or QB/RB/TE. If the player gets a touchdown in a different way (i.e. your rusher getting a receiving touchdown), it does not count. Level 8: 5 Game Teaser: This is the opposite of level 6. Instead of losing 6 points on each spread, you actually gain 6 points on each spread. But you have to get all 5 games right to move on. So a team favored by 9.5 will now only have to win by 3.5, a team that is getting 2.5 points will now be getting 8.5 points. Level 9: Rank 'Em: Pick starting quarterbacks and rank them in order of passing yards they will have this week, from most to least. You must get the entire order correct. TWO CHOICES: You may rank three quarterbacks whose team wins the game, OR any four quarterbacks. All selected quarterbacks must start their game. You must pick all players at once; you cannot make a partial pick to complete later. Schedule: (Favorites listed first; home team in CAPS) Sunday, January 2nd 1 PM ET BUFFALO (-14.5) vs Atlanta 44.5 CHICAGO (5.5) vs New York Giants 36.5 Kansas City (4.5) @ Cincinnati Bengals 50.5 TENNESSEE (-3.5) vs Miami 39.5 INDIANAPOLIS (-6.5) Las Vegas 44.5 NEW ENGLAND (-16.5) vs Jacksonville 41.5 Tampa Bay (-13.5) @ NEW YORK JETS 45.5 Philadelphia (-3.5) @ WASHINGTON 44.5 Los Angeles Rams (-4.5) @ BALTIMORE 46.5 4 PM LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (-6.5) vs Denver 45.5 SAN FRANCISCO (-12.5) vs Houston 43.5 DALLAS (-5.5) vs Arizona 50.5 NEW ORLEANS (-6.5) vs Carolina 37.5 SEATTLE (-6.5) vs Detroit 42.5 8 PM GREEN BAY (-6.5) vs Minnesota 46.5 Monday, January 3rd Cleveland (-2.5) @ PITTSBURGH 40.5 Bonus Question: Choose a game to have more than 50 combined points (you may choose none) --- MZero, to the extreme I never saw azuarc coming, but he won the Guru! |
