The Walrus's Lead-Free Roulette -- now exploring every roulette submission ever

[Stadler]

It was ten minutes from thirty years ago, so I can't tell you.   It was hot AF in there, and crowded, so the guess would be some mix of sweat and cologne.   My lasting impression was "hair".  Lots of hair.|

[The Walrus]

Good news: I have 11 of 19 writeups finished. Scores are not yet determined, but I have a rough idea of how everyone will do this round. Comparisons with your round 1 scores coming in sometime this evening.

Results - maybe - tomorrow. No promises, but it's looking likely.

[jingle.boy]

Really looking forward to being the opening write up!

[The Walrus]

Chew on some comparisons between how much I enjoyed this round's songs versus your submissions last round. Not necessarily reflective of the score, and subject to change as I finalize writeups. 5 left to go.

[Crow]

ready to get 8.1 in every round of this roulette too

[ariich]

You've only achieved it twice in my roulette.

[Crow]

They're all 8.1's in my heart.

to note, Katt did not put these in order of scores last round. all three of these guys had almost the same score last round (7.9-8.0)

anyways

13. Bolsters ^

Congrats Bolsters!

[The Walrus]

Shadow, I about spit up my drink when I saw that GIF - fixed! 

And yeah, the order is actually just in order of who signed up. But the arrows are relevant.

[HOF]

Moving up!

Yeah I noticed that, and updated my post.

That's very confusing Katt.

[Evermind]

Let's see if I can get 8.6 each round because my next two rounds are also electronic music

[Crow]

my round 3 is completely different from my round 2, which was also completely different from my round 1 (which round 3 is also completely different from)

there's minor overlap in a few places but i'm trying to keep it diverse

[jingle.boy]

Ouch. You pain me.  Can’t wait to read this write up. 

My thoughts last week: wonder how risky this submission will be?
Rich’s roulette: Hold my beer.
Katt’s roulette: Leeerooyy nnn-JENKINS!!

[The Walrus]

I gave you ample warning, so I don't even feel bad. 

[jingle.boy]

The real question is will you hate it more than Tim hates Winger??

[jingle.boy]

Fun fact: while TAC hated this round possibly more than anything he's heard in recent years, I think it's one of the strongest rounds I've ever received in a roulette. That said, there is one - ONE - submission that I just do not connect with, and a couple others that aren't quite sinking their teeth into me, but I don't dislike them. All the others are in a vicious battle for scores, and scoring is going to be a doozy this time.

9. Elite v

HA!  I actually get that reference!  I feel so pleased. 

[The Walrus]

 

Writeups are all done... I try to put some thought and detail into each writeup so they take me a great deal of time over the course of several days. I'll finalize the scores tonight and share them tomorrow. Guess I'm making the deadline after all, Rich! 

[ariich]

Nicely done Mike!

Mine is very close to done as well so looks like we'll both be posting results.

[Buddyhunter1]

I'm just going to send for Round 3 now because why not, I already know what I'm sending

[The Walrus]

I'm predicting Buddy is sending something from the Tales or Star Oceans games. Or even Ys. Maybe Persona? 

Rich, we could hold each other's scores hostage and see who blinks first.

You go first and if I don't like the outcome I'll knock some points off your score in mine.

[TAC]

Don't make me come back there you two!

[Buddyhunter1]

sent music from the greatest game of all time oh my god 10/10 [REDACTED] have my babies

I'm predicting Buddy is sending something from the Tales or Star Oceans games. Or even Ys. Maybe Persona? 

It's another RPG, but no, not even close. I've never played any of those games actually (though I'm quite familiar with Persona 5 at this point).

[ariich]

Don't make me come back there you two!

But daaaaaaaaaaaad, he started it!

[Crow]

i hope buddy goes the entire roulette sending exclusively video game music

[The Walrus]

 

I expect Buddy to send exclusively game music; I will actually be surprised if he doesn't. But what he just sent me intrigues me greatly.

[Elite]

I'm doing my best not to send rock music

[TAC]

i hope buddy goes the entire roulette sending exclusively video game music

I don't.


But I must say, he nailed it this round.
