Winter Meat: Video Game Tourney??

[WhiteSpy9]

So I have been toying around the idea of a winter games triathlon....

Teams: 2-3 people
Games: Wii Sports Assortment, Rockband, GHIII

Possible to accept a nominal entry fee to award 1st/2nd place with a bit of cash incentives.

Tournament style with bracketing. Your top score vs your opposing teams top score.

Variant: Instead of this being done at someone's place, create strict picture posting guidelines to allow scores be submitted via forums. (All team members must be present in picture, date/time stamps, etc.)

Thoughts??? I think it would be fun considering how cold it is outside.....



Edit-

So far we have several games that people are interested in seeing.

Rockband
Guitar Hero 3
Burnout
Wii-fit/sports/play
Mario Party
Mario Kart (in SOME format)
Goldeneye

I'm thinking one from each would suffice, my guess is one racing, one Wii-themed, mebbe an FPS of some sort, and one of the guitar type games. It has seemed to be determined that Mario Party will be used to determine the overall winner from the last two teams standing.

Sounds like fun! Count me in.

 

[mndsm]

I like it. But I propose a revision to the games, since far less of us have access to Rockband.

 

[dmention7]

Certain events could be hosted by those who do own the games, I suppose. Heck, I'd be all for hosting some Wii Sports or GH3 action!

 

[mndsm]

I can host Wii sports as well.

 

[Picklz]

I can host GH3 on X360 - Complete with 100" Screen Ive been kicking around the idea of picking up Rockband but as of yet haven't pulled the trigger.

BTW Does this in some way involved steak or chicken? ("Winter Meat") or did you mean meet?

 

[mndsm]

Steak, Chicken, who cares. They're all tasty.

 

[Picklz]

I had the Drunk n Dirty Sirloin @ Axle's Bonfire last night...damn is that a tasty steak!

if yall set up conkers bad fur day for the n64, ill be there in a heart beat

 

[Picklz]

Goldeneye for the N64 is where it's at!! But yeah Wii sports and GH3 would be killer

 

[WhiteSpy9]

I have an N64 w/ 4 controller. Golden Eye and Mario Party if we do want to add that in.

Exactly.....

Mario Party would be excellent as like the showdown between the final two teams..... set the handicap based on score from the last round of GH or whatever.

 

[WhiteSpy9]

that is one gold mine of an idea Tom!

Mario Party FTW

Lemon Party FTL

 

[Picklz]

Not sure how well using the score from GH for a handicap would work, I would rock the house at GH but I've only played Mario party like twice...but I'm up for whatever, we just need to get this going. Maybe I'll get my place cleaned up a bit and have some people over this weekend for some GH3 if anyone's interested.

We would have to decide on the format for GH3, like best score between two people in co-op, or if we are doing battle against different people, etc. And what difficulty setting we are using.

 

[mndsm]

See that works perfect. You get additional starts based on the fact that you'd pwn me at GH, but I can even up the score with Mario Party, since i'll likely be better at that than you.

 

[dmention7]

Maybe each game could have a qualifying round or something to judge handicaps

 

[mndsm]

Something like that.... I think the idea might be to make sure you have an even team, to do decent in all events, or have a team that pwns all in one event.... as long as we have a way to judge scores fairly.

 

[WhiteSpy9]

This is where team member selection is vital......
