I'm not sure if Baldur's Gate 2 will be the most entertaining game to watch someone else play, but I couldn't not pick it. Baldur's Gate 2 till the day that I die.
Voted for Sanitarium, but I hope you guys eventually do the original X-Com. "Vinny + Dave + a game where a weak minded soldier holding an RPG can be controlled by an alien to blow his teammates up as soon as a mission starts" sounds like a recipe for good times.
Plus I want more people to know how good the old games were so they can join the angry internet mob surrounding 2K's reboot of the franchise.

I said it in the other thread about suggestions but I want to see Whiskey Media fighting the alien hordes
Why would anyone ever vote for BG2, it's a well known game both guys have probably already played, and the first two hours are a boring tutorial dungeon.

I'm going to consider this poll closed Tuesday at 5PM PST so that I have some time to get a save game going. For this week I'd like to pick a game I know I can run without too much hassle. After I get some time to fool around with virtual environments I'll start breaking out the older classics.
They want to avoid always showing off the beginning/tutorial parts of games which is why they are trying to decide on a game ahead of time.
Why in the hell is everyone picking Baldur's Gate 2? Isn't the whole point of this to show things that are a bit more obscure? You might as well pick Halo or something.

it will be fun when people get angry at how supposedly poorly they're playing the most beloved crpg of all time
I want you to play through BG2 so then I can learn how to play BG2. I bought the entire BG collection a few months ago, played like 10 minutes of the first BG, cried myself to sleep, haven't played any more since.
Hey man, I know how you feel. I started Baldur's Gate 1 again a while back and the horrible resolution made it impossible to play. Since you own Baldur's Gate 2 as well though, I recommend BG1 tutu! It lets you play Baldur's Gate 1 in the Baldur's Gate 2 engine using Baldur's Gate 2's classes. It really makes a world of difference: suddenly you're at a resolution of 1280 instead. Just try it. The graphics aren't that bad aside from the resolution.
Bladur's Gate 2 is a bad idea. That game's first dungeon takes a long time, and then in the game itself it takes a long time to actually do anything . . . It is very long.
Man, I was hoping people would pick Crusader or Wing Commander. We all know Dave is a huge RPG fan, but it does get a little boring ONLY seeing him play traditional PC RPGs.
Well, that's both disappointing and ok at the same time. I love me some Baldur's Gate. I just think Undying would have been more fun to watch. Here's hoping this just gives them ideas for more of this in the future, and they go down the list of whats left.
Undying for me also, Has good charactor development, good story..I think I have the disk.. but other ones that are left are also interesting to me. Nox I remember hearing something about. Sanitarium just plain sounds sounds cool. Nothing against wing commander, but sounds like well, commanding a wing..I bet you in outer space. i guess I like outer space....
XCom or Jagged Alliance II would be interesting. Dwarf Fortress would either be incredibly frustrating or hilarious. A roguelike, such as Nethack or ToME, would be unique.
