Question: would any of these games work on shit computers? Portal doesn't count, as I already did an awesome blog on it.
 
Oh, the question. I'd probably be most excited for Jeff, since he seems like a pretty cool dude. Of course, I'd never actually visit the Whiskey Offices, because I'm convinced that I'd fuck things up on a grand scale.

I would be most excited to meet Jeff because as entertaining as everyone else is, he's the most insanely insightful.

Also, so sorry, but when I finally had the money to donate a game last week, my credit card info got stolen and my account was liquidated, so it'll be a couple weeks still. Think I'll donate a copy of Cargo.

Yes, I have donated yet another obscure-ish game for your contesting pleasure. I should warn you right now that Temple of Elemental Evil is very much not for everyone. It's stupid hard, fairly convoluted, but also totally awesome... assuming you've installed the fan mod that fixes all the broken stuff.  Only ask for it if you're going to play it in earnest.
 
Personally, if I were to go to the whiskey media offices, I'd be very excited to meet Vinny. The reasons why should be fairly obvious. And I'll try for Rush this time.

@Kyreo: Yeah, Dave is really good at talking to a bunch of strangers on the Internet about random stuff. It's very entertaining. 
 
 
Also, I think this is my best edition of the game giveaway yet, as far as the way the original post looks.

@Video_Game_King: If your computer can run Portal and Half Life 2, it can probably run TOEE. Not very well mind you, but well enough for it to work.

Keep in mind that I couldn't run Portal and Half-Life 2 very well, either. I got a lot of shit for this picture, something that blew me the hell away:

@Video_Game_King: I'm fairly aware of how bad your computer is. Well, TOEE wasn't the cutting edge of graphical technology like Half Life 2 was in 2004. You could probably run it in like 800x600 with some of the effects turned off and it would do just fine. I also think the Circle of Eight mod (once again, practically essential. New content optional) adds the ability to play in windowed mode (don't quote me on it though. I currently don't have the game installed on my computer). I think you could beat it. You clearly have a tolerance for pain. I mean, you've finished Fire Emblem Thracia 776 and that game is the definition of bullshit.

It is really tough to just pick one person out of the bunch, but I think in a purely one on one kind of scenario Ryan, because he's pretty funny and talkative.

Probably Vinny. He is such a crazy awesome guy.

Also, Temple of Elemental Evil. I have been wanting to get a hard copy of this game for a while, but a digital version will suffice.

I'd be really excited to meet Jeff so I could obnoxiously yell a bunch of quotes he's said in the past to him and annoy him by constantly asking him about the Endurance Run.

I'd be most happy to talk to Dave, he's really good at keeping a conversation going and has a lot of interesting things to say about just about everything. 
Plus he gets the least air time so it would be interesting to hear from him since we barely do as it stands now.

Thracia 776 is the definition of bullshit? Clearly, you have not played games like Devil Survivor or Dead Rising, because THOSE are bullshit. Anyway, I've figured out that I'm not a fan of old PC games without a windowed mode. Was that a recent invention or something? I can't imagine the sprites posing a problem, since I can bullshit around with different sizes in emulators without the damn things crashing.

I would love to play Amnesia: The Dark Descent, heard so many great things about it

Dave 
 
He's the only person I know of that shares the same love of a lot of the same games as I do, and the only person that I would blindly take a game recommendation on without doing my own research first. Pretty much every occasion that I have heard him talk about anything we both shared the same opinion almost every time. At least when it comes to games. Except for those racing games. That ones all him.
 
I just think it would be a ton of fun to go on a man date and just talk about shit.
 
Runner Up:Vinny
 
Vinny just seems like he would be fun to be around, and he has such a god dam infectious smile. Every time that mans on screen I have a smirk on my face.

My original answer would have been Alex, but considering he's in NYC and not in the office I'd have to choose Vinny. He just seems like cool and smart dude.
