I won't be up for the end of this game but we might have a joint LOL Lakers and LOL Gobert on the horizon

Round 2: Got MGS1, recognized Big Blue but couldn't have told you which F-Zero it was from, recognized the Undertale song but couldn't remember the game, got Sonic Unleashed, got Cuphead

Bonus Round: Didn't get any of them

Jeopardy Question: First video game crush was probably Chun-Li

Round 3: Got Bizarro Sephiroth, M. Bison, Bowser, should've gotten X vs. Zero but couldn't quite place it

I'll try to do the rest next time.

LOL Heat

because fans stopped being fooled by pro days and the combine years ago

in Kiper's latest mock draft he has the Titans trading up to the 3rd pick to draft Richardson

please no

The list only includes the main platforming series (Yoshi's Island is considered a Yoshi game by them, not a Mario game).

It's a decent list, all things considered (although it feels kinda inconsistent with sometimes naming singular levels and sometimes naming entire worlds). I don't think any of their choices are bad, at least (except maybe Bianco Hills. There are probably 3, maybe 4, Sunshine worlds better than that one). I'd have included a full blown 64 world (although Bowser in the Sky is probably the best final level in a Mario game) and Grandmaster Galaxy from Galaxy 2 (a better version of Darker Side of the Moon).

I figured it's a decent time for a Mario level discussion in the wake of the movie, and this video felt like a good launching point for it.

Yes, a vigilante who fights using sports equipment, what's not to love?

Round 1: Got Super Mario Sunshine, got Final Bar Line, recognized the Killer Instinct one but couldn't place it, the Multiversus song got my wife's attention because she recognized it from Space Jam

I'll do some more later.

yeah I'm not ready for a world where Peach beats strong characters

things don't get "extra respect" for being a 1 seed, they just get more bracket votes

I was being sarcastic about the Mario movie not helping at all, it would probably help if we had a contest sometime soon because the hype and nostalgia will be fresh in people's minds, but I don't think the effect will last very long because it's not garnering new fans

I mean if the end goal was to be drafted as high as possible, Cardale Jones absolutely should have declared at that point.

true, his stock was never going to be higher, but he would've been a bust

if anything, he should've just transferred

Why remake Persona 3 instead of one of the earlier games no one has played?

Because no one who started with P3, 4, or 5 would want to play them

I just used an even distribution of Sentinels from each generation for every battle.

do a Breath of the Wild adaptation where Link immediately storms the castle after leaving the plateau and make it a one hour special

yeah the MCU has established the formula of constantly removing the helmet so you can see their faces as much as possible

Did SaveEstelle check it out?

Not sure if he's finished it, but at one point, he did tell me he was playing it and really enjoying it.

The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog beated!

Yes, it is a real game (and free on Steam), and it's pretty fun! It's also really short (I beat it in 2.5 hours), so it's definitely worth a shot if you're a Sonic and/or visual novel fan. The writing is decent (it's kinda fun seeing Sonic characters pretend to be characters in a murder mystery; Shadow the Locksmith was the best part, for sure), the artwork of Sonic characters in their costumes is pretty good, and the ending was unexpectedly wild. The final image you get for beating it is almost worth the experience alone.

Her summons can't get interrupted because it's a turn-based game, but the summoning animation doesn't take that long. Yuna could cast Protect or Shell on herself to minimize the damage DK could do to her during the summoning, too.

he's prepared to be a backup to QBs who run and get hit a lot, QBs who are old, and young QBs who could potentially get benched

in other words, he wants to be a backup in a place where he has a good chance to step in and play

as a Titans fan it's kinda hilarious that he mentioned Malik Willis since he won't even be the starter this year, so I guess he's signing up to be third string here, lawl

honestly I don't blame this on Kyrie, it's not like he hasn't played well and he hasn't been acting up (since he knows his next contract depends on him being on his best behavior)

this was just a poor fit from the beginning and everyone could see it except Mark Cuban

The Mavericks have officially given up

what a disaster the Kyrie Irving trade has been for them, and I'm not even sure what they're supposed to do from here

Good episode, I enjoyed them exploring the planet and the uneasy atmosphere of it all

The Mandalorian Season 3 Episode 6 complete!

Had some pretty cool cameos in this one. Really good episode overall.

Bucks clinch the 1 seed

Sekigahara the best

There might be some confirmation bias, but I think you're really underselling people just straight-up not liking the voice.

Both things can be true.

Eh, I think a lot of it is confirmation bias because people hated the announcement of Pratt as Mario before they ever heard him say a single line, too. I think he's been fine, but people want him to sound like Charles Martinet and that was never going to happen.

(It's okay for Mario not to sound like Charles Martinet, too. The original Mario cartoon voice was just fine, and it sounds more like Chris Pratt than Charles Martinet)

UConn's biggest lead has been 15, I believe. It's been between 10-15 points all second half until now.

It feels like San Diego State can't get the score closer than 10 no matter how hard they try

this game teased me when both teams came out hitting 4 of their first 5 shots

I don't think San Diego State has made a shot since

Looks pretty good!

honestly i don't really see why not

this is literally the basis of every argument I've heard, "why couldn't they win it"

i'd also arguably take lebron and AD over phoenix's top guys too. durant is ultra-fragile

hmm

in better news, we've got a loaded Hall of Fame class coming up with Pop, Dirk, Wade, Pau, and Tony Parker

gotta love when someone just parks on your property, knowing you're home, and doesn't even bother to ask permission

glad to see I motivated them

yeah they got what they deserved 3 games later

San Diego State wins AT THE BUZZER

Juro's section is so good, definitely one of the best

one of these teams will be playing for a national title Monday

and I hope they win

It's been a long time (probably at least a couple years, maybe closer to three), but I finally got back to reading the Baccano light novels! I finished the 10th book just now, and it was pretty good. It took me a little bit to remember what was going on (since this series likes to juggle a bunch of plotlines at once), but it looks like the current arc is finished and we're going to delve more into the pasts of the immortals.

Oh nice, didn't realize that was out already! Looks like the second part drops on Sunday.

It's kind of wild how big of a superstar Caitlin Clark has become this season, she's more well known than anyone in men's college basketball right now

I went there once close to the beginning of the game, realized I wasn't meant to be there yet, and didn't come back until I was ready to beat the game.

Huh, they brought back Knux's hat from the anime. Nice.

it took me a minute to realize what was going on

After a couple of runs through the dating sim in DRV3, I've maxed out Maki, Kaede, Kirumi, Keebo, and Ryoma so far.

"the Lakers could win the West" talk is starting to ramp up, right on cue

Well, Rodgers reportedly wanted the Packers to get him a couple years ago before he went to the Rams, so it makes sense.

heck yeah

all this will do is incentivize tanking because this means no bad teams get Thursday games

but yeah, it's a bad idea because Goodell will point to the data that says more injuries don't happen on Thursday and they get ten days off afterward, conveniently ignoring the strong possibility that they'll be more prone to injury later on because their bodies are playing without proper recovery time

it was fun seeing Arthur Blank try to explain why it was okay for the Falcons to pursue Deshaun Watson but not Lamar Jackson
