Favorite holiday movie!
Tis the season, and everything from The Thanksgiving Miracle to A Chirstmas Story is fare game.
If dep stores can do Christmas in July we can start in November!.
-
No offense, Jeffe, but the Staff Picks is kinda my thing... And I still want to cover various depts. We've already done movies twice. I think we should do soemthing for Table Top or CCG.
So how about Best over all CCG folks.
It took me a while to decide, but you've still got a week to come up with 'em.
-
Strike that, we'll make it collectible game. That way you kids can go with your klicky things. Plus, I reckon most people don't play more than one CCG or two.
Due on friday. 3 games, tops, 55 words or less, [email protected] yadda yadda.
-
No offense taken, I was just under the impression that you were soliciting ideas as per the staff picks 5 thread...
any thoughts on what the next picks should be folks?
-
i was, you just didn't make it sound that way
but thanks.
-
???Ummm ok I disagree, but ok.
-
*ding*
Favorite collectable game picks due tomorrow. Think I've got my chosen, but I'm gonna learn bionicle first....
-
Here's another one I forgot completely about that I need to resurrect now. favorite collectable games, due Friday.
-
woota. Favourite collectable game?
1) Heroclix.
2) Mage Knight
3) uhhh.... DC heroclix!
-
hey, these are due tomorrow.
-
welll, looks like that was a no -go. so, new subject?
-
For tabletop: favourite warhammer armies. Possibly an all systems thing, so that 40k, fantasy, and subgame armies are accepted.
Because, yeah, there is all of 5 collectable mini games, 4 of which are made by wizkids and are only slightly different, and the other is D&D.
-
well, it wasnt' supposed to be limited to mini games. Anything collectible, meaning CCGs as well. (plus, my personal favorite, the Gregory Horror Show).
-
dangit, why aren't you people reminding me aobut this. Ok, best non-board game table top strategy game. That means, essentially, miniature wargaming. Ready... GO!
I'll give you to the 9th, since we're almost at the end of this week for practical purposes.
-
Umm . . . I care about as much about non-board tabletop games as I do about collectable games.
-
it's always about you, isn't it?
-
Ba-Zing!
-
You'll notice that I didn't submit last time and there was no Staff Picks article at all ;)
All I'm trying to say is that you've got this rather limited genre that I don't think enough people are interested in to make a significant article.
-
I think there are more tabletop gamers here than you realize.
Between Clix, Diceland, and Warhammer, there are at least 5 or 6 people here who would submit.
-
I think you are choosing catagories with too few choices - having something along the lines of "which heroclix models do you like the best" would be good, due to the extreme range of choices.
I will still submit though. And we have Mr P, Slant, myself, Fell, Mustard as warhammer players, with spriggo recently having gone into heroclix.
-
Ent, I think there are plenty of choices: 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Inquisitor, Mordheim, Blood Bowl, Gothic, Epic, Ancient Battles -- and that's just Games Workshop. Then you've got the whole clix line (Heroclix, Mage Knight, MechWarrior) and then mounds and mounds of other Wargame rules (that Samurai thing pops to mind, and I know there are lots of others).
-
BAHHH not interesting
-
yeah, what he said. But it looks like Saint might actually get some submissions for this one.
-
Whatever happened to Staff Picks? I thought it was one of the better ideas...
-
version 6 was supposed to be table top system, but I didn't get any submissions. Then I got distracted.
-
I think we ought to start it up again. What would be even better is if we could get three or four people (maybe the main TWG people--like Fell, EUOL or SE) who would agree to post in every single Staff Picks as a Panel of Experts or something. If other people want to submit as well, then they're welcome to.
-
/me laughs heartily at the concept of EUOL and Fell posting a regular article
-
well, it wouldn't be a whole article
It'd be the three suggestions.
-
Ok, favorite WWII movie or TV show. It WILL be Staff Picks 6. I would really like to at least hear from Fell, EUOL, Sprig, and JP. Not that they're particularly expert at WWII, but they are really what we consider "staff" around here. 42, who is also staff, I'd love to hear from. Tage is staff too, but I know better than to expect content from him. And well, the rest of you. Your opinion counts! (or at least will be published)
-
I'll email you something right now. I haven't been able to get on the Net since Friday morning, so I didn't see this until now, but Mustard pointed it out to me.
-
I've emailed you my picks...
-
sweet, That means I have enough to run it. Still, anyone else who wants to contribute, you still have till tomorrow night. Thanks.
-
Jeffe, you said you were giving me another movie. You have till I get to work, (about an hour and a half) then I've got to post the article.
