If the match ended right now my oracle score would be so good too bad SMB3 is probably getting 78-79% --- Is GrapefruitKing Today's prediction: SMB3 73.99% - SimCity 9.53% - Monkey Island 9.35% - Tecmo 7.13% - Status: |

*Didn't know MI was made by LucasArts, does some GameFAQs research* Wow....this is going to sound straight up stupid, but I was definitely confusing MI with another game/series.

We never played SimCity or anything like that in school. Yeah, I
know my educational experience =/= everyone else's, but we did play
Oregon Trail. Where's this coming from? I've never heard of such a thing. For everyone i've known it would be all about Oregon Trail and Carmen Sandiego. OT got like all its strength from schools, SimCity assuredly almost none. --- Save_Us.RAT BREAK THE BLOCK DOWN |

It might not of been AS common as oregon trail, but to say no schools had it and it gets no strength from that is not only silly, but ignorant. --- http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/albion+hero.png http://seitoacademy.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/lucky-star1.jpg |

we may see a 1% update tonight or ten. Agent J, you have a challenger! That might be hard. Agent J got 4.41% in a match with Link and Agent J's worst update was a 1.27% update. Tecmo Super Bowl is about 2% higher than Agent J right now. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but still not as cool as FastFalcon05, Guru Champ! |

vote doesn't really come until 8 AM. But SimCity will be getting to
that 300 vote lead people were talking about as impregnable in another

10,000 classrooms vs. multiple million copies sold around the world yeah, I'd say SimCity's classrooms are pretty insignificant. That's like saying FFVII draws strength from classrooms if 5,000 classrooms had it as an anti-terrorism measure.

SimCity is freaking SimCity. Common sense says that it'll have a good
ASV against freaking Monkey Island, regardless of Mario 3 being there. Because it's Monkey Island. I expect Tecmo, despite being an NES game, to cut Monkey Island during the ASV. --- http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3230/takerface.gif |
