| junk_funk 04/01/20 4:03:56 PM #9 | I purchased it two weeks ago. Playing right now and it is a very good game. Has some of the same flaws as Bravely Default if you ever played that. Still, I'd give it a solid 85%. --- Advokaiser came, saw, conquered. |

It was on sale in the eShop, half price. Wasn't expecting much from it at all. It's a pretty damn good game. --- Advokaiser came, saw, conquered. |

| Topic | Which part of the virus scares you most? |
| junk_funk 03/29/20 2:20:21 PM #9 | Not to get political, but Democrats scare me too. Politically, they will tank the entire American economy if it means no more Trump. They will do it proudly and blame all the burden on Trump's leadership. Also they need to find someone better than Biden right now to run. I don't necessarily want Trump to win the election, but I can't vote Biden (going senile) (or Bernie...an extremist spender is not what we need to when trying to recover from this). --- Advokaiser came, saw, conquered. |
| Topic | Which part of the virus scares you most? |
| junk_funk 03/29/20 2:12:59 PM #8 | It's ability to stay alive on surfaces and it's incubation period scare me. The world wide economic depression we are about to have is the scariest part though. --- Advokaiser came, saw, conquered. |

| Topic | What is antivoting and what might get antivoted this contest? |
| junk_funk 03/23/20 3:04:12 PM #8 | https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5266-character-battle-ix-final-draven-vs-solid-snake-vs-samus Draven won an entire contest in 2013 through rallying, beating Link (who always wins) in the process. 5 years later, Draven is in his second contest and does this: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7296-division-8-round-1-amaterasu-vs-draven Amaterasu is great an all, but couldn't get 25% on Link if she tried. Probably the single biggest example of anti-voting I can think of from Board 8. Undertale won in 2015 with a big rally just like Draven. It has a decent shot at getting this same treatment this contest, though it's not a lock by any means. More traditionally, games like Dota, Destiny, Fortnite, and Minecraft get anti-voted here. --- Advokaiser came, saw, conquered. |

| Topic | Does most everyone being home concern you for making picks? |
| junk_funk 03/23/20 2:30:11 PM #1 | I'm not picking rallies in my bracket currently, but I believe this site could get more traffic when the contest picks up steam. There's so many "gimme" match-ups with indie games early on...what if a handful of them start catching fire? One of my favorite examples is Cuphead burning GTAV. Do you think there's a possibility we look back on this contest and see the most rallies we ever have? Or do you think social distancing and the world staying home will have no effect at all on the contest? --- Advokaiser came, saw, conquered. |
| Topic | Do you think a successful rally will occur during the GOTD II Contest? |
| junk_funk 03/18/20 12:46:01 AM #20 | The most likely rally will be Cuphead marching through GTAV and RDR. I don't think it is likely. --- Advokaiser came, saw, conquered. |

| Topic | The Show EP 1 - The Glorious Return of GotD! Breaking down the bracket w/ Leon |
| junk_funk 03/12/20 5:13:18 PM #251 | I think the biggest wasted opportunity in this bracket is that SSBU didn't draw a match with Skyrim. Wanted to see the #2 Nintendo get a shot at the #1 non-Nintendo. --- Advokaiser came, saw, conquered. |
| Topic | This contest comes down to Skyrim versus Pokémon |
| junk_funk 03/04/20 6:59:48 PM #2 | This seems like the second biggest match-up in my estimation. The largest match-up in the contest is SM Galaxy 2 against Witcher 3. The winner of that match makes it to the final four and maybe beyond (against Skyrim or Pokemon). Tons of points at stake. The Board seems split on it as well. Plenty of people say they got SMG2 and plenty say Witcher 3. --- Advokaiser came, saw, conquered. |
| Topic | Leonhart Predicts the Bracket! |
| junk_funk 03/02/20 7:56:08 PM #84 | Leon, you ever consider you're underrating SM Galaxy 2? I have it beating Witcher III and God of War, then barely taking Persona 5...and I think it can even give Skyrim a shot. Am I being foolish, and if so could you explain a bit? --- Advokaiser came, saw, conquered. |

| Topic | How much longer do you think humans will survive? |
| junk_funk 02/26/20 6:01:37 PM #15 | Got to consider geologic time ranges. Dinosaurs lasted roughly 200 million years. We as a species are going to beat that time span and we're only at 200,000 years or so. In fact, we will likely be the last mammals standing and the last large animals surviving. Can't underestimate intelligence and tool use of humans. It was one of nature's most amazing adaptations of DNA. Assuming no other species develops that topples our own in intelligence, we will likely "rule" this world for the next few billion years. I could see some bugs and definitely microbes beating us out. We will also look completely and ridiculously different by then due to the altering of our DNA over that amount of time. Catastrophes might arise that wipe out tons of us at once. But humans as a species...very resilient to all changes, much more than all other animals. --- Advokaiser came, saw, conquered. |
