This isn't something I have an opinion on because I haven't played it. All I've said is that the graphical style puts me off.

I don't necessarily disagree here either, it's just until New Pokemon Snap I'd had zero exposure to anything outside of the first gen.

It's not mine but I do own a few JRPGs.

Tough decision between Hidey and Drummy.

....you?

I feel my selection for the Action/Adventure category hasn't done me any favours.

Honestly... yep. I played a few hours of the first Deponia game, and found it slow dull and unlovable.

Ah, but if our tastes were similar you'd do what I did and look past the graphics to the game underneath! I'm not a big fan of pixel art either, but Celeste won me over.

Fair enough: I would swear that you've said stuff on here that implies that you've been avoiding exposure to anything outside first gen!

A lot of mine look very anime.

I should say that I don't think us having different tastes is a bad thing! (Apart from the Pokémon exposure avoiding thing, but maybe I misunderstood that.) Just that I was surprised that I voted for your selection given that. Wouldn't mind Tom winning though, the only competitor to pick two Nintendo machine games. :datass:

(I didn't play one and didn't care for the other so much. :shifty:

)

This tricky tie has got me thinking. One option may be for the top 2 going through to the next round with 2 semi-finals (the original plan was for 4 rounds going in to one final). These would then lead to 2 from each of those going in to the final. Or does that stretch this thing out way too long?

Are we in a rush? As a participant I wouldn't mind.

Same!

I think it's quite a fun little game to take part in and I'm looking forward to seeing how the others go.

Ok, my concern was maybe it's too slow a burn but I'm happy for it to toddle along. The async nature of it works quite well I think.

Yeh we did drag out the draft but maybe that could be sorted by everyone agreeing a day that they'll regularly check in

So are me and Drummy through?

Poll is open until 8am tomorrow but, unless something odd happens, I'd say you are.

And so the poll closes and we have a tie for the 2012 draft between Tomous and Drumstick. In a move purely to avoid having to make a decision, both will progress to the newly created semi-finals. Keep your eyes peeled for round 2.

Tom and Drummy get a semi on :datass:

Ironhide I heard everyone who got 4 is cool and everyone who got 7 is a loser.

But didn't Hugo say 7 was the new 8? I'm confused.
