Pick #10 - Calvin selects Zombies - Supernatural



how scared were you when you first played resident evil? I first played it at midnight at my cousins house and i was completely scared stiff when that first zombie comes after you ... so scary. anyway. legions of the undead that somehow can destroy an entire city yet they cant run. after they kill someone ... they join them. and they roll deep. What a recruitment strategy! bonus points for switching sides. On the flip side, they do lack leveling up skills, weapons, and vehicles. But, as a collective they must own tons of money (that they cant use any more), and every now and then when i kill one they drop keys or gems or whatever i need to finish a puzzle plus, they speak zombie.



Pick #11 - Calvin selects PaRappa the Rapper - Comic Relief



PaRappa isn't comic relief in the sense that he's dope. He's just trying to learn skills to win over his girl, Sunny Funny.
Skills learned:
  • He learns how to drive- vehicle,
  • he speaks english and ebonics - languages,
  • gets money from working a flea market - money,
  • he bakes a seafood cake. oh yeah, did i mention he freakin raps?! Parappa is ill, better than half the MCs out there to date.
  • destroys any MC in his path - kills.
Kick, punch, block
Chop, kick, block
Block, turn, and kick it

Duck, duck, turn
Jump, kick, chop
Punch, punch, punch



Pick #12 - Jared selects Link - Female Protagonist




Wait, Link isn't a girl? Dang it.



Pick #13 - Jared selects Chu chu - Comic Relief




Calvin's long lost twin stuffed animal. Chu-chu is basically the joke character that you never use in an RPG (e.g. Cait Sith). The hilarity of her love for the main character in Xenogears can only be surpassed by the hilarity of her semi-pokemon speech (she incorporates "chu" into all her sentences"). All the characters in Xenogears get their own Gears, which are basically Gundams, for battling. What does Chu-chu get? That's right, she just has her physical limiter removed and grows 1000 times her size to join our heroes in battle.



Pick #14 - Calvin selects Michael Jackson - Male Protagonist




After losing Master Chief, I knew I needed a male protagonist that could make big hits in the clutch. Who else but the King of Pop himself? Rock With You? Don't Stop Til You Get Enough? Beat It? The man made Thriller. Michael Jackson's Moonwalker video game. If you don't know, now you know. MJ FTW!



Pick #15 - Calvin selects Sonic the Hedgehog - Animal



Sonic was fast. He was a liberator of fellow animals. He has more rings than the Yankees and Red Sox combined. His main enemy was an egg-shaped man in gigantic destruction machines! Plus his music was awesome. Who doesn't love that music?


Pick #16 - Jared selects Pikachu - Animal



Calvin's other long lost twin animal. The face of the Pokémon franchise. Everyone's favorite electric mouse has graced the cover of video games and magazines all over the world. Shockingly cute, yet electrifyingly tough. The only video game character that can be drawn in chat windows:

Pick #17 - Jared selects Blue Shell - Villain




Okay, who can truthfully say that they haven't been burned by a blue (or purple, depending on your eyesight) shell? This faceless villain cares nothing about how great of a driver you are or how big your lead is. Profanity +500% when used, this thing is evil.



Final round will be posted soon.

How is a SCV(starcraft) not a top pick for utility!?!?!

And why no dragons?!?! It's discrimination not to have one! EEOC will hear of this.....

Unknown said...

Oh....and Luigi for Sidekick.......nuff said...

c said...

ok SCV is pretty good, but their attacks are too weak [food for thought, power overwhelming] ...

dragons are ok ... but they can't rap nor do they wear red sneakers.

and are you talkin about the same luigi that keeps getting lost trying to find stars and needs mario's help to rescue him? homey don't play that.

i stand by my picks.

lara croft...

do you know how many stinking games she's in? (even though they all suck).

gotta say, you guys are drafting pretty poorly for a two man draft...

but it is amusing if that's the goal.

i was gonna say tomb raider, too! lara croft is hot and kicks much butt. but i have to disagree with josh as i am a fan of the tomb raider games.
