The draft will conducted in the following order, snake style. Each team will have up to 12 hours to pick a video game once it is their turn. I will do my best to PM whoever's pick it is. If the time expires the next team will get to pick.

Good luck everyone and choose wisely!

Team Rules
- 10 video games per team
- Each team must have at least four platforms represented in their picks.
- Each team must have at least one portable/handheld/mobile game.
- Each team can only have one game per franchise.
- No collections or compilations (ex. Super Mario All Stars, God of War Trilogy HD, etc.)
- Games must be original iteration (no remasters, or HD versions) unless significantly different.

It's on my shelf, still sealed. I have a hunch that I'm going to skip RDR2 for a while and play drafted games that I haven't got around to instead.

God damnit.

I debated picking this one, but the "original console release" threw me for a loop. If I could've picked Remastered, then I definitely would have done that. As I never played the PS3 version, I didn't want to pick something that was potentially glitchy or not as amazing with lower-res graphics.
