Week 3 Predictions
Usual disclaimer: this is my opinion only. If you don’t like it, I still love you.
Welcome to old school video game week. It’s on like Donkey Kong.
NAGA
Game Of The Week
Pa Dong Dragons (2-0) v Pudong Skyfire (2-0)
GoTW for two reasons. First, we get to see how far Pa Dong has come with their new game planning and second this is an important early game in the Naga pecking order. Pudong has truly run the Gauntlet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mMJio2MO6w so far as their schedule is very front-loaded. Pa Dong beat a respectable Knights team but this is a whole new ballgame (literally) against an elite Naga team. They better bust out their best Contra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWMyoNhGHbk group to have a shot here. Pudong or Pa Dong? Tomato or Tomatoe? Pudong 31, Pa Dong 28
Other Naga Games
Guam Tigers (0-2) v Orlando Praying Mantis (2-0)
The schedule continues to break favorably for OPM before they tangle with the Wolverines next week. To get there unscathed they must avoid one more Pitfall http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhXMYw1lXY0 Guam must feel like they’re in Frogger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okm0VtF2gH8 the way they’re getting run over so far. OPM 42, Guam 17
The Cult (2-0) v Golden Hill Bones (2-0)
Both teams are taking a step up in competition this week, but much more so for the Bones. The Bones will try to avoid getting NBA Jam’d http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvO-umJN4A8 here while The Cult’s Missile Command http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DbjGbAJdTw will once again come out firing. Cult 45, Bones 20
Sainte Foy Cylones (2-0) v Chi-Town Hustlers (1-1)
For SFC, it was a monumental break-through last week against PDP while for Chi-Town it was back to reality against the Monks as their starting HB looked more like a Paperboy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNk4-Up1aws than a football player. With SFC’s DEs look like the Double Dragon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJwphXaZ-VA combo they have so far this season? SFC 38, CTH 24
Hong Kong Hustlers (2-0) v Woody Island Wolverines (0-2)
Much like Pudong, WIW has had a truly difficult opening schedule. The difference is that they dropped two close decisions where Pudong won two close decisions (including against WIW). HKH has played no one of consequence yet, so this is an interesting game on many fronts. You know WIW wants to pull off some Elevator Action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bptwIn-0-4c in climbing back up the charts while they aim to blow up the HKH QB like in Cyberball http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXhSEDZxb3w WIW 45, HKH 42
Palembang Drunken Monks (2-0) v Beer Drinkers, Hell Raisers, and Mom (0-2)
While the Monks are cruising so far, the Drinkers have Dig Dug http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrvmDJxq86I themselves a bit of a hole early on. Look for the Drinkers to get gobbled up like Pac Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uswzriFIf_k in this one. Monks 56, Drinkers 6
Portland Dirty Penguins (1-1) v Cambodia Mountain Men (0-2)
During the preseason, I predited CMM would be making a comeback this time around but now they’re facing an angry PDP team after they were upset by SFC. It’s not old school but you don’t want some Angry Birds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNNzRyd1xz0 coming after you. CMM is pretty much roaming through the Dark Castle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9-232DwDKg of SEA atm. PDP 52, CMM 9
Bacolod Skullcrushers (0-2) v Victoria Teabaggers (1-1)
This is pretty much a battle of who stays relevant in the playoff hunt, although certainly it’s not the nail in the coffin for the loser. Every Bacolod Defender http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNkd5eATdWM better be on their toes in this one because VT’s offense is going to be pissed after getting shut out last time. Right now winning is probably as mysterious to them as Tron http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz3A_vNibEI VT 30, Bacolod 20

lolgaruda
Game Of The Week
Lucid D.R.E.A.M. (2-0) v Buffalo Rampage (2-0)
Bam! This is a big game. It’s like Ken v Sagat in Street Fighter II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qAPbXNq0dc The winner is the early favorite to take home the Pole Position http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUU_F9TvXco in lolgaruda. I always expect Buffalo to look better in the playoffs than the regular season. Lucid 33, Buffalo 30
Other lolgaruda Games
Phu Khao Bow Chicka Brown Cows (2-0) v Buffalo Knights (1-1)
I am impressed with what the Cows have done so far, but I’m looking forward to them playing Lucid later on. The Knights are always dangerous but seem to always find a way to gravitate to the lower echelon of the playoff teams. This should be a Mortal Kombat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-NolhJYPg4 with the loser being fatalitied out of a top 2 spot. Now if only they could make the GLB replays look as cool as Tecmo Bowl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PBvOxicz-0 Cows 35, Knights 14
New York Empire (1-1) v Atlantic Great Whites (1-1)
This game is somewhat interesting as it will be me a more firm idea of how good AGW is after two different looking performances. The Empire has looked good even in their loss. AGW might feel like they’ve got Road Rash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogsFhxsuudE after this one. I expect to see the Empire’s best Spy Hunter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnPwB-KGXQY conduct an assassination here. Empire 45, AGW 13
Three Kingdom Warriors (1-1) v Boston Bears (0-2)
As I kinda thought, TKW looks like they’re back this season. Boston looks to have a decent roster but that won’t get you very far in the Pros. Unfortunately there is no Medal of Honor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyhkd6C2uHA for trying. Look for TKW to spell Doom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr-lQZzevwA for Boston’s playoff hopes. TKW 65, Boston 20
Wu Dang Kung Fu Academy (1-1) v Sioux Falls Storm (1-1)
Wu has been competitive so far and looks to be a lower tier playoff team while SFS is starting the season reasonably well. They might be just an academy but Wu will look more like the Kung Fu Master http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il24F1_TBao in this one I think. SFS is definitely not going down without a fight though as this is a relatively even matchup. Can they play Duke Nukem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RC7YvTyrVo to Wu’s playoff hopes? Wu 20, SFS 16
Quad Cities Quarantine (1-1) v Australia Smurfin Smurfs (0-2)
Quad cities busted into the win column last time out. This time they bust over .500. We won’t find out how Metal Gear Solid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUHJsU_ooWQ they are until next week against Lucid though. Quad Cities 160, ASS 0
Mandaly King Cobras (0-2) v Lefkada-Singapore Seahawks (0-2)
Somebody gets their first win here. The Cobras have looked somewhat competitive in their two losses. LSS not as much. I don’t think either team will fulfill their Final Fantasy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwLT6GeeEa4 of making the playoffs but one of them as least gets a W. I’ll just sit back and watch these two Joust http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itfnkD-rMe8 Cobras 27, LSS 17
Krakow Kryptonie (0-2) v New People’s Army (0-2)
Just a wicked opening schedule for Krakow, but it gets better this week before they face the Rampage next time. NPA, well, no comment. I expect Krakow to go Berzerk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZuBMwqIJDw Krakow 95, NPA 3
