The slight desynch between Alex's voice and his webcam in the new Encyclopedia Bombastica is kind of weirding me out. I'm guessing that's an XSplit thing? EDIT: Weirdly, the actual game is synched perfectly. It's just poor Alex. Weird! The Kins fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Jan 26, 2014 |

Rirse posted:Is there a list of all Gameroom videos. I know there is the playlist on the second post, but it actually missing one or two videos. I tried making a youtube playlist of them and uploading the missing ones myself, since for some reason GB skipped like ten weeks of the game room when they moved stuff to youtube, but a bunch of them kept breaking during the upload for reasons I don't understand. So there's a handful that are only 5 minutes long or cut off at the wrong time, and if anyone manages to get working versions of those on youtube, let me know here or there and I'll add them instead. Until then, the gameroom video page on GB is kind of the closest thing to a full playlist that there is.

Edit: Watching it now, it's also the Quick Look where Jeff tricks Ryan into coming in on the promise that it's the Bioshock 2 Minerva's Den Quick Look so it's basically the highest point of the Game Room Quick Looks. asahdeaf fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Jan 26, 2014 |

Also Jeff is totally right about Pinball FX 2, the ball physics are bad and the tables themselves are dull and lifeless.

Sunset Riders is the only arcade game I can remember seeing in the wild, I was born too late and too suburban to have ever visited an actual arcade and the hockey rink my brother used to play at had a Sunset Riders machine. I never got to play it

Sunset Riders is #2 on my list of favourite arcade machines from when i was like 7 years old at the sports centre. #1 was the few times we went when there was a Cadillacs and Dinosaurs machine. I should try and find and play them to remind myself of how nostalgia is a lie shaped by ignorance and time

I used to play MKI and II and loving TIMEKILLERS in the arcade as a youngster. Timekillers, the game where you can instantly kill your opponent if you hit the right buttons as soon as the match starts.

I feel like I really missed out on arcades - by my time the only arcades that existed were only at small holiday resorts, and they only had slot machines, a racing game and then a couple lightgun games, probably the House of the Dead ones. In my life I have literally never seen an arcade that holds the kind of games that Game Room would have. It's all about bad gambling addictions and claw machines.

I get what you mean there, but it sounds there was a culture to old arcades that you can only find now by going to some fighting game convention and playing with the crazy high level players. Like, just playing MK with a random people with a mutual interest, seeing people while you do it, casual as hell. Just holding a mini tournament you could stand a chance in. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what arcades were really like because I have only seen media recreations of them, but they seem rad. Just seems like there was a weird aesthetic to it that games today don't really have.

He will sell you drugs.

There are a few Arcade bars here in Chicago. One doesn't charge for the machines and the other all the machines are only $0.25 to play. The former is more fun, and has a ton of pinball including many classics.

I've been to arcades that looked like something out of Blade Runner. Low light, neon everywhere, gangs of street punks taking over entire sections of the arcade. All-seeing, all-knowing arcade bosses sitting on their raised dais, decked out in enough chrome and strobes like they were alien ships descending for heaven. Spinning records at ear-shattering volume, dispensing quarters to kids while scoping out the fresh bush on offer. Playing Zaxxon or Mappy, while pulsating red lights and and endless din assult you from every angle, while people crowd around and cheer you,; men who wanted to be you, women who wanted to be with you. Underfoot, a carpet of pop-rocks, cherry coke, and possibly an 8th grader who drank too much while high on Xevious. I've seen some poo poo man! I spent years in arcades man, but I'm back in the world now. It's been tough readjusting to non-gamer life, but I've had help along the way. Some days you wake up in a sweat, diving under the bed when you hear that 8-bit sine-wave explosion, only to realize it's a kid next door playing an emulator. Those days are the worst, but I get by man. I get by.

I played Sunset Riders at the sports centre after judo practice in 1992 or so. They also had at least Green Beret (aka Rush'n Attack) and a Nintendo PlayChoice-10 cabinet (the only game I remember is Pro Wrestling*) over the years. My small home town never had any real arcades, just a few random machines in places like that, malls and the local spa. Those are all long gone, of course. *I remember this only because there's a character called The Amazon, and as a 7-8 -year old I didn't know that much English yet, so I asked my older sister what does the "the" mean in the name. She told me it's an article, and this lead to me wondering what the hell kind of a name is "Article Amazon" supposed to be. (Of course Green Beret could've also been a part of the PlayChoice-10 instead of the arcade version, but I think they were separate and it's been over twenty years and who cares about those games anyway they weren't Sunset Riders.)

There was a pretty badass arcade in Seaside on the boardwalk that had a shitload of old games and pinball machines, including a Hercules table! There was a whole room just full of old arcade versions of atari and nintendo games. Probably all out in the ocean now.

The weirdest thing about arcades is how as a subculture it didn't really last all that long. While arcades are still around their heyday was from the late 70s to the early 90s, maybe 15 years altogether.

A large chunk of my childhood was spent in the middle east as an expat and we had a free rec center which had all kinds of old arcade machines including a neo-geo machine with a bunch of mvs carts which the superintendent would swap out on request. It was all free as well.Another Person posted:
You find them at traditional seaside resorts still but the machines they have are mostly modern; Dance Dance Revolution or twin driving seat racing games and similar.

Yeah, I can imagine some arcades being pretty gnarly places on the inside. Populated by nerds with poor sanitary standards who don't give a poo poo about the wellbeing of the place, run by seedy bosses who are cheaping out on the cleaning bill. Every surface sticky with years of spilt slushy drinks and sodas, an inch of gum on the underside of the all the machines and a smell in the air that can only be described as festering. E: as a poor guy from a poor family, I have been on holidays to seaside resorts quite a bit, from Blackpool to Great Yarmouth. Rhyl is basically down the street from me and I have somehow had a holiday there. I've been in all those kinds of arcade, but those are of the gambling focussed variety I mentioned earlier. They aren't about games, they are about slots and penny falls. The height of game is as you mention, a dance machine, a racing game and House of the Dead 2. It is always 2. I mean a proper, arcadey arcade, like you would see in old movies from the eighties, with real games. Think the arcade in Terminator 2.

Arcade machines were nearly exclusively in fish and chip shops, here. There were normal arcades, of course, but most people my age would have played stuff at the chip shop, waiting with their dad for their Friday night dinner.

The closest thing I had to an arcade growing up was a bowling alley that actually had a pretty good game room attached to it. It wasn't the seedy underbelly full of drugs that you all describe, but a lot of us young punks hung out there and played whatever. Some of the stuff they had was cool and you couldn't get it on a home console, like the weird hologram games or racing games where the seat moved and whatnot. I guess it all sort of migrated into Dave & Busters and the like nowadays. Which at least serves booze.
