HackTheDino.com It's time to pick our Fantasy League! The rules my friends are simple: PICK GOOD GAMES
- THE DRAFTING PROCESS
We will take turns drafting one game until everyone has drafted 4 picks (more people this year means less picks each). You want to pick games that you predict will get ABOVE A 70.
To keep things spicy this year I’ve added one new rule: One of these picks MUST BE AN UNANNOUNCED GAME, defined as something rumoured and not officially announced yet. I suggest a house rule of making this your 4th drafted pick.
You will then draft your single counter-pick - a counter-pick is selected from the list of games that your competitors have drafted. For your counter-pick you want to select something that you think WON’T GET ABOVE A 70.
That’s the draft done!
- BIDDING THROUGH THE YEAR
After the draft, the rest of your picks open up through the bidding system!
Throughout the remainder of the year you can add picks by placing bids each week.
Much like anything with bids, you gotta bid more than your competitors to win the pick.
The bids are BLIND, meaning you will not be able to see if someone has bid $20 or $1.
You can chance it by taking super cheeky $1 bids or you can try and confirm it with larger amounts, but try not to blow all your money on one game at the start of the year or else you won’t be able to afford any picks later in the year! That ones for Townsey.
- THE WINNER
At the end of the year on the final episode of Hack The Dino for 2022 the winner of the Patreon Fantasy Critic League will be named and they get to send in a speech to be read on air.

Theres a NEW video game console out - and you won't believe who is making it. This isn't clickbait. For real, this is ridiculous.
Ever watched something as a teen and thought it was amazing - only to go back and it isn't as a mazing as you originally thought? That pretty much describes the WWF Attitude Era.

We talk about the cancellation of Good Game, what companies sell their consoles to stores for, how scary is Resident Evil 7 and once again play DAN vs THE WORLD in the video game jukebox.
In our sixth episode Dan returns alongside Ben and their guest, professional wrestling legend Havok argue about why the Nintendo Switch will suck, talk about Sex Criminals (not what you're thinking) and the Video Game Jukebox quiz returns with DAN vs THE WORLD!
Technical difficulties means its Ben flying solo this episode. He talks about Rogue One, gives his game of the year, chats about the Clone Conspiracy that's happening in the Spider-Man books and gives a sneak peak as to what next episode has in store. HACK THE DINO!
In this special X-Mas episode of HACK THE DINO we visit the ghosts of X-Mas past, present and Future! And by that I mean we look back at some special moments from HACK THE DINO, then Ben talks briefly about Mario Run.
At least we are honest in our descriptions.
In this week's episode Dan and Ben are joined by Sarah Campbell, a member of the female comic book group The Valkyries. They discuss all the big take aways from The Game Awards (Kojima), Mario and Street Fighter V, talk indie comics (a member of the panel has a new book out this week) and Dan takes on the World yet again in the musical trivia gam Dan vs The World.
In Episode 2 Ben and Dan are joined by Doctor Mike 2000 (he's a real doctor) and talk Pokemon Sun and Moon, SNES mini, artists vs writers in the comic book world and round two of the Video Game Music Challenge - or Dan VS THE WORLD (And Ross).
In the very first HACK THE DINO Ben, Dan and special guest Linden talk about the Nintendo Classic Mini, discuss a comic book that reviews sex toys and learn about the new Star Wars board game Destiny. PLUS - Video Game Jukebox (tentative title) makes its awkward debut!
