I may not be eliminated for awhile because I went for some foolish upsets late in the bracket; there might not be a single bracket with the same picks. I have no confidence I'll finish anywhere near the top by the end. I want to think Zelda: BOTW would be getting at least 75% on Spider-Man...
SSBU is going to get smoked. The Last of Us might even lose to Batman at this point.

Originally I thought round 3 was still 4 matches per day, so I don't know if the format underwent changes pre-contest, or if I was just reading misinformation.

What were the rules the previous time, in 2015 or whenever?

My next picks:

Portal 2
TLOU

Super Mario Odyssey with 71.25%

No, because we're picking one game to advance between yesterday and today. One game per four matches, it's just that there's only two matches/day now.

I missed out on making a bet, but looks like the poll is delayed or something?

If I can still bet...

Logan in terms of acting and telling a good character-driven drama.
DoFP strikes the balance of being flashy and entertaining without being shallow.

The Wolverine, despite getting just an "okay" reception, is one of my personal favourite movies. It had the potential to be great; the compromise of PG-13 and a cheesy climax held it back. I loved the setting, and I think it deserves credit for trying to be a smaller-scale character-driven movie with an unknown cast, contrasted by Wolverine recovering from his descent into darkness. Simple scenes like Wolverine just eating a bowl of soup and trying to connect with someone were the most engaging parts of the movie, for me.

Yeah I'm basically treading water, but also running out of time to gain any significant money. Top 10 will have to do.

Dragon Quest XI - 62%

My bad, forgot about what I picked in round 2.

Guess I'll pick Mass Effect 2, then.

RE2/Bloodborne seems like a toss-up, tough to make a pick on that one.

Super Mario Odyssey after that.

In the first post, it says we need to pick a winner from four-packs starting with the division finals. Round 3 is the division semi-finals, correct?

Regardless, my first pick for round 3 is Dragon Quest XI

I find milk can be unpredictable. There's this one brand that more often than not tastes on the verge of going sour right out of the store, so I stopped buying it. I haven't had any issues with Natrel. It lasts forever. I also have to buy 2L cartons because that's the biggest size lactose-free milk is available in. Costs more than a 4L of regular milk.

Cereal is my regular breakfast, so milk doesn't sit around unless it's hiding at the back unseen and I don't feel like cleaning out my fridge right away.

Hey I just wanted to refresh my memory on what happens in round 3. Is it just two match polls per day? But we still need to pick one game per eight remaining games? Or 1 game out of the 4 games featured in the poll?

For the rest of round 2:

Batman
Pokemon

Dark Souls - 76.5%
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - 68.05%
Batman: Arkham City - 53.15%
The Last of Us - 67.25%

Also depends on how cold you keep your fridge, but I try to discard anything that's like 4 or 5 months old except stuff like mustard or soy sauce or maybe pickles. I have to buy expensive milk too, but if I leave it sitting out by accident for hours, it goes down the drain.

So we all ended up picking different opponents, all the matches seemed to have some level of debate, but we all look to be in clear!

Yeah, I bet on both sides as insurance in case the primary bets didn't work out. Is that allowed?

Yeah I'm fine with using the same topic.

Dragon Quest XI
Bloodborne
Marvel's Spider-Man
Xenoblade Chronicles
God of War
Red Dead Redemption 2
Batman: Arkham City

I feel like doing one pick at a time, I'm gonna forget about it one of these days.
