Together Retro 2019 planning - calendar decided?

And then Edutainment wins so we can all play Number Muncher for the month.

"Games that start with, 'Shenmue-.'")

I've had an Xbox copy of Shenmue II for eons. Having an excuse to actually play it would be A-OK.

[CFFJR]

I like the cohost idea, that sounds fun. I'd also be willing to be a back up returning host if needed.

I'm all about doing Shenmue, but if you're concerned about it passing, maybe call it Yu Suzuki month. That would open it up a bit.

Heck, designer focused months in general would be great, if I do say so myself.

I've had two (I think) good ideas that I've come up with throughout this year. Don't know if I can come up with two more, but I'd be happy to team up with someone for a month

[Sarge]

I have to admit, new blood would be great. I also like the revisit idea for the second-place finishers each month. Some of these votes have been tight.

Ex, I was gearing up for the mech stuff, too. What won wasn't what I expected, but I still got to play a few cool games, including my first MSX2 game beaten.

As a note for anyone planning their categories for next year, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts turned 10 years old this week

That's certainly not a bad idea, but I'd personally like to see a little more overlap in what people are playing, so I was intending to go with fairly narrow categories. Not that opening it up to Yu Suzuki's entire catalog would bring in all that many more options, but--. I was mostly kidding about trying to funnel all the votes into Shenmue.


I think I've settled on five categories I don't know if there's anyone who would be opposed to me taking the first month. If it's all right, I'll plan to have a voting thread up in about a month. I don't think Shenmue is likely to win, unless Bogus, and I (and maybe a few others) are able to be persuasive enough, but all five will suit my agenda fairly well, anyway.

[Michi]

I've thought up 4 options! Since no one seemed keen on a co-op.

So you can bump me up to a solo month if you like

Fair enough! Well I'm looking forward to seeing your choices, and I'm certainly supporting Shenmue.

Heyyy, put me on the greedy ass hole list
