The Metagame: Vinny vs. Nick!

DUN DUN DUNNNNN.

In today's episode, I try his best to go up against Vinny, who is playing the Metagame for the first time. At least , it seems like he is. But what about that other video? NOTHING MAKES SENSE ANYMORE

As usual, if you'd like to leave us a comment letting us know who you think took this battle and why, we'd really appreciate it! <3

CUT EM VINNY!

Vinny should have used Halo.

Vinny wins

Vinny ALWAYS wins.

Wow it's fantastic to see Vinny in such a situation. Anyway, who is the person in the corner?

Please someone show Ben where the macro button is on that camera.  It is hard to see the cards.

Sim City was a great game, I remember playing Sim City for hours. 
 
Sooo GO VINNY!!!

"The Vinnysaurus cast bufu on the hydroelectric plant, you have insufficient power. I told you you'd regret it if you cut back on funding."
 
Vinny lucked out on the sudden death card. Maybe should've let him do the same thing with the game cards and see if he didn't get Rez or ICO or something else that takes an afternoon to beat.

I didn't even watch the video and I already know Vinny won.

Vinny wins in a TKO fashion 5 seconds.

Vinny.

You choose Warioware over Street Fighter 2? Come on Nick. You should know better. 

Why does Nick always choose the hard games? In the 2nd round he could have argued that Mass Effect would make the best novel, but instead he argued that Parappa the Rapper makes more people cry.  Now this? Vinny swept the floor before anyone had even started arguing.

Nick. You lost. Big style.

Vinny is the winner.

You know who really won?

You guys, the viewers.

Well, of course Vinny wins. He just twisted his metaphorical mustache and stomped Nick with glee.

Hahahah, I just have no interest in fighting games! That would've been a good one to pick, though, since people have literally been playing that game for 20 years as of 2011. That's insane to think about.

Wait, what? I think you're talking about Round 3, except I've never had Mass Effect in my hand on any of the rounds. You have a faulty memory, bro!

Vinny <3

Vinny wins.

Vinny wrecking house!

So, Vinny won this, easily. He could just have winked into the camera and still have won.

BRB, reinstalling Simcity again, Vinny just made me remember how much I love these games.

What are you going today with Sim City for 10 years? Get in 3 maybe 4 games, that game takes an age to play anyway.

<3 You Vinnie, in the manliest possible way.

Vinny wins.

Vinny wins by default

Vinny always wins

Vinny is the winner.

I really wouldn't want to play any of those games for a decade. I'd rather go with SimCity over WarioWare but Vinny's points ain't the factor bringing me over to that side.

Vinny all the way!!!

The trouble with doing this many is how often the game cards show up. The questions are vaguely defined enough that you can choose to interpret them however you want (which has lead to some creative cases made), but there only seems to be a few dozen game cards and they're laced with lemons like "Passage." I can't say how many people have even heard of Passage, so I'll assume that whichever indie developer was behind it was probably behind the card game too.
 
I'd suggest hitting this link (props to LordAndrew) five times and moving on from there. I tried it, got two unknown games with almost no details, an indie game about sinks, a Saturn shmup and the as-yet unreleased next Smash Bros. Discussion-inspiring stuff.

I don't really care much about these Metagame videos, but when I see "Vinny" on the title then I'm watching that shit.

Also, Nick says "WarioWare" funny.

Vinny's argument made the most sense. I like Warioware, but I couldn't play it for that length of time.

Sorry, Nick. It's gotta go to Vinny.

Though Halo would've been my choice!

Vinny wins, hand down, not even a contest.  He could have left the argument at "It's Sim City vs Wario Ware" and would have won.  There may be hundreds of games in Wario Ware, but they are all so limited and never really changing except for the speed at which you have to perform the action for the mini-game, and by the end of the first year alone I bet you'd be sick of seeing the exact same games over and over and over again.  So Vinny continues to go undefeated!  Go Vinny!

I think this game is bad and you should feel bad.

Vinny. He absolutely did not buy any of Nick's argument. :P

Stupid mortal trying to take on Vinny. Of course he wins!

Vinny be winning always.

Ive grown to love the interns but holy shit talk about a flawless victory for vinny though

but nick gave a good argument for a game that you would obviously get bored of after 2 hours

Yeah, WarioWare is cool and all, but definitely Sim City.
 
Also this game isn't all that meta and has a stupid name.

Good try Nick, but yeah, Sim City. A monkey could have won that argument. That was a softball for Vinny.

@GlenTennis: Who was the person sitting in the corner of the room with you guys?

Vinny Wins.

NO VINNY WON!

Vinny wins!

There was no way Nick could win. He really had to grasp at straws. If I were Vinny, I would have picked Super Mario 64 or Pokemon before Sim City, but that works well for the question too. Pokemon is the one legit game you could play for 10 years.

Vinny won. Sorry nick, but having played WarioWare, I can tell you that it's the kind of game that is meant to be played in short bursts.
