Desert Island Games - New Episode out now - MHTL
Posted: Fri May 12, 2017 1:22 pm
Hi all,
I've been listening to the very excellent Final Games (https://soundcloud.com/finalgamespodcast) an awful lot recently. It's a take on the classic Desert Island Discs format with a guest selecting 8 games that they'll have to play for the rest of their lives while stranded on a desert island. I think it's something that might translate to GR but in a post or even an article on GRView type thing. I've been mulling over this for a while and wondered what kind of interest there would be.
My idea is to produce a weekly/biweekly/monthly post or article based on a forum members choice for their games to take away on a desert island. What I'd need is a PM from anyone who is interested and then I'll contact them for the details of their games. There will be a bit of back and forward with questions on each choice as I don't just want it to be a list with some screenshots. The aim is not to rip off the hard work that Liam has done on FG, think of this more as a piss poor homage to it for people who have got no chance at all of being a guest on FG (apart from maybe Rudderless who I think has already featured on one).
What I'd rather not get is just a load of posts from people with their lists, I'm hoping keeping the choices a secret until the article is done would make more interesting reading. I guess people have a good idea what other forum members would pick anyway based on their post history/platform biases.
There are few rules about what you can pick. Nicking the rules from FG, you do have internet access but no voice chat/text chat as we can't have you telling people where you are. It has to be a released product but there is leeway (i.e. you can pick Super Mario All Stars or Orange Box as they were retail releases). DLC may be allowed even if there isn't a GOTY edition depending on how the wind is blowing on that day.
So who's in?
Cheers,
Rex
