Pick #18 - Calvin selects Katamari from Katamari Damacy - Sidekick



This was a no-brainer. I thought, "What character is so quintessential to the protagonist that the game would be completely defunct with out it." Hence my pick. Items alone makes it the absolutely best side kick of all time.
"Oh your sidekick got 200 coins? Mine collected 10000 pieces of candy, 1059 cars, 503 cows and oh yeah a freaking island"



Pick #19 - Calvin selects The Bench from Madden 2008 - Bench



If you look really closely its the bench right between Randy Moss and this poor Miami Dolphin. This bench supports the team despite their losses. Every Sunday it's there to take the kicks the slams the 300lb men. Best. Bench. Ever.


Pick #20 - Jared selects Yoshi - Sidekick



Yoshi, the true sidekick of Mario. First of all, Yoshi helps Mario get to places a lot faster whether it is by foot or by flight. Secondly, Yoshi helps attack for Mario by breathing fire while Mario just sits on his back relaxing. Thirdly, Mario literally kicks Yoshi in the side to get him to move (hence sidekick). Finally, the biggest reason Yoshi is the best sidekick: the Yoshi Sacrifice (see above photo).


Pick #21 - Jared selects Scottie Pippen - Bench



Scottie Pippen dominated NBA Jam. Cheapest character of all time. How could you be good at speed, 3 pointers, dunks, and defense? If you can have the opportunity to have Scottie Pippen coming off your bench, how could say "no"? Whoooooaaaa, jams it in.


Pick #22 - Calvin selects John Madden - Bench



That commentary. THAT COMMENTARY! SO INSIGHTFUL! Plus he has such good tips on how to run the game. 4th and 68? ask madden: "punt" BRILLIANT!!


Pick #23 - Calvin selects This Character - Bench



It looks so familiar... does anyone know where this is from?


Pick #24 - Jared selects Leeroy Jenkins - Bench



I want a player that has initiative on my team. I want a player that has no problems telling leaders that they are wrong. I want a player with guts, determination, and brains. Unfortunately no such player exists, but Leerooooooooy Jeeeeeenkins is close enough.


Pick #25 (Compensation Pick) - Jared selects Bethel Johnson - Bench



Yeah, this guy definitely belongs on the bench.


That concludes our video game character draft! Perhaps there will be another draft in the future. Maybe. Not. Not. Double negative implies a positive answer. Not. Not.
