....what the heck is going on?

 

[MARCOMEN]

NSC is cancelled?

 

[Fearnavigatr]

Two minutes!

It is now official. Welcome back to Fuel, Ugaly for the long-awaited conclusion to the Video Game Spinoff this Tuesday 8/6!

I had a feeling the video game results in Orian's schedule weren't a joke! Awesome

Oh but they were. As far as Orian was concerned anyway.

Haha, even better. That announcement video was epic as fuck by the way.

Thread title updated, this will be repurposed as the results thread.

There's going to be two parts to this show, an extended pre-show throughout the afternoon and the actual scoreboard results in the evening (precise time TBD). More details will be revealed on Tuesday, but I've tried to create a show that can hopefully be appreciated by old farts and modern NSCers alike, and get even those who didn't participate in the spinoff invested in the results.

I really hope as many as possible will tune in and enjoy the show, and that at least a few of you will be as excited as I am to see this old chapter reach the end! We at Lurkovision still have a lot of preparing to do, but we will see you on Tuesday! Don't forget to vote in NSC 193 in the meantime!

Tagging all the original spinoff participants for awareness that this is happening.

Vanadio of Starsky unfortunately never signed up after the 2009 forum transfer. It's hard to know with long lost members, please excuse me if I've mistaken any of you for someone else.
Hoping this worked, can a mod help me otherwise?

 

[berlyda]

I got the mention notification, so I think it worked

Unfortunately I'm going to be working most of Tuesday afternoon/evening, but I will try to check in every so often.

 

[dogmeat]

Oh but they were. As far as Orian was concerned anyway.

I was wondering if you'd play along with it.

I like how this is happening while NSC is held in the most videogame-oriented nation I'll make sure to add my votes too.

But I haven't hosted a main edition since NSC 104.

 

[Fearnavigatr]

Results proper at approximately 20 CEST!
It'll be a pretty standard scoreboard affair, but until then please enjoy these amateur presentations and feel welcome to comment your thoughts and predictions as we go!

Twitch stream when?

A coupla comments.

Both these tracks are sooo nostalgic for the period.
Cygo reminds me of those early Wii days. Setting up online play with some NSCers (and being completely thrashed btw, I always sucked a bit at games). Coconut Mall was sooo overrated as a racing track though ugh. The voting would always pick that (or Rainbow Road). Lame. (The music is fine though)

Morrowind was never played by me, but my younger brother adored it, and he used to leave the title screen running with this music all day. So I have a little soft spot for it too. Can’t remember if it was enough for votes.

lol @ pyry’s comment in 2012 saying this entry sucked. Have you come to enjoy it again now @pyryniemi ?

Haven’t played this game myself so not much to comment on nostalgia wise. I’ll instead share a funny tidbit that my brother and I for ages thought that Rare was a Japanese company pronounced “rah-reh” (or ラレ). Turns out it was closer to home all along...
