Last week’s debate was a nostalgic nightmare that was about as heated as the current Presidential candidate debates. For a week straight we heatedly argued over which was the best multiplayer level for the Nintendo 64 FPS game that devoured many of our childhood Summers. Here I am thinking that the only three GoldenEye 007 level candidates that stood a chance were Facility Clinton, Library Obama, and John McComplex, with a slight Temple Nader possibility on the side. Then I had my childhood destroyed when I found out that only my city was obsessed with the Library, and that I was actually voting for a hopeless Kucinich level. Here are the top results that made me cry and feel violated:
- 1st: Facility (111 votes)
- 2nd: Complex (75 votes)
- 3rd: Temple (40 votes)
- 4th: Stack (21 votes)
- 5th: Bunker (12 votes)
- 6th: Library (7 points)
- 7th: Caverns (6 votes)
I’ve voted for a losing poll option in plenty of these debates in the past, but I’ve never been as shocked as I was last week. It’s a terrible feeling when one of your favorite levels of all time almost gets beaten by the number of “random level” votes. Those of you who voted for Stack — are you sure you weren’t thinking of the very similar Library level? Nevertheless, it’s another week, and time for another ruthless debate.
This week’s discussion is over which Super Smash Bros. 64 multiplayer level was your favorite. Keep in mind that this is not a debate about Melee, which will most likely be next week’s debate. Which level was your favorite, and why? Give it some serious thought, cast your vote and reasons, get some friends to share their opinions as well, and check back next week for the winner.
Bonus: Since we already had a debate about who our favorite Smash Bros. characters were, let’s take a step in a dangerous debate direction. Who will you vote for as the next U.S. president? Please stay civilized though.
