Aw poo poo, guess I am in that queue too then. I skip t's all the time. Along with a lot of other letters. Actually, thinking of streaming, professional gaming and the Bay area, one possible direction for him might be onGamers, since CBSi just started that. Not a good direction, imo, but a direction. Does anyone actually use onGamers?

OLIVIAS WILDE RIDER posted:Vinny says "Bolth" and I want to strangle him every drat time. I think I pronounce it that way too, although now I'm saying "both" and "bolth" out loud and everything just sounds weird. It might be kind of a regional accent, I know I have friends who say it that way. On verbal accents you can't unhear, sometimes Brad will strongly pronounce the "h" in "wh" words and once I catch it it's like nails on a chalkboard. Then I'll forget all about it and won't notice for weeks until it catches me by surprise again. (Edit): vvv yes exactly that! StarkRavingMad fucked around with this message at 07:03 on Jan 27, 2014 |

I don't want to sound like I'm dogging on him for that, people have the accents they have and it's super hard to try and change anything about that unless you want to do vocal training or something. It's just exactly that gut reaction from the YouTube clip there of hearing it just slightly off and going "wip hwip wip hwip" until I don't even know what's right anymore.

As another NC poster, Brad is the only person in my life I've ever heard who actually says "hwip" without it being a joke. It's not a southern thing, I'm pretty sure it's not a northern thing, I doubt its a west coast thing, so where the hell did he get it?

Not every part of a state is necessarily gonna have the same accent. I have never had a problem with the way any of them have said anything, I don't see what the big deal is.

I meant more Vinny's 'button' thing. He's from Rhode Island, right? That's not an uncommon vocal tic for the New York area. And Wikipedia says that the 'wh' thing is common in the Southeast US so there.

British and/or South African apparently. Brad is the logical reverse of Brits who watch too much (as if there's such a thing) US TV and say 'trunk' instead of 'boot.' Only Brad is British.

Saying "inless" instead of "unless" is pretty huge a thing in So Cal. Dunno if it's just a regional thing, though. Either way it drives me crazy. fake edit: also how about when people drink a glass of malk.

I missed the arcade chat it seems but I want to chime in and say that if you never got in a fist fight with a stranger over some shady Street Fighter 2 hijinx you missed out sorely. 80's was a good time for arcade hanging but the early 90's were amazing, the crowds that would gather around a 1.0 Mortal Kombat 2 machine were loving surreal. Phoenix east valley was rife with them big and small, I lived in a good spot flanked by game filled pizza parlors and a bowling alley, there was a nickel arcade that charged a $5 cover with all the games accepting nickels, $10 would last an entire afternoon. Hustling kids $3 for a half finished Mk 2 Photocopy moves list was a great way for a young teen to fund a sick addiction. Last weekend I went to a pop up arcade that appears from time to time, http://ttdphx.com/2013/08/05/captain-cutaneums-arcade-85-in-photos/ it was ok but I'm not a huge fan of stuff from that early and just played a lot of two games that aren't done right in mame due to spinner controls, Tempest and Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator. If you're ever in Denver hit up 1up bar, they have a pretty good selection of games and beer. (The LoDo location, haven't been to the new Colfax "2up") E: Almost forgot to mention that awesome stretch when every Circle K, 7-11, and no name party store had a game or two, after '92 it was a lot of Street Fighter or MK but that was ok cause those we're the only two you really wanted to play, it didn't matter if you weren't old enough to drive yet because an afternoon walking around town meant finding a different small scene every mile or so (every major road in this town is about a mile apart in a big grid), any store with a fighting game came with a crew or two of kids from that surrounding neighborhood, if you liked to walk you could "network", getting new tips or filling in missing fatalities from your aforementioned photocopy moves list as you found new people that had new info. It's easily the thing I miss the most about games nowadays, back then if you were a "hardcore gamer" (technically no one was because that term was a decade away but you get what I'm saying) it meant getting out of the house and meeting new people face to face on a daily basis, exploring new neighborhoods to see what their 7-11 had. Now it means a social reject because all the games come to us as we hide in our poopsock cave, never knowing the value of "quartering up". If you traveled and hit touristy areas there was always an arcade with the crazy hacked boards, throwing fireballs in mid air and poo poo... and then one day Doom happened, and it all changed. Edit2: Vegas Arcades in the early 90's, fuuuuuuuuuuuuck man. Every game ever made and dudes from all over the world to show how Street and Virtua Fighter are really played, all the things you learned in the neighborhoods were trash in comparison.

So after the Game Room talk yesterday I've been watching the entire run in one go. It's been equal parts entertaining and enlightening so far, but the most astounding thing I've learned from it is that they were still pumping out 2600 and Intellivision games well into the late '80s, years after the NES was released. By that point everyone knew what a real video game could be and yet these American hardware makers were still hanging onto dear life with their ancient garbage systems. That's crazy!

One of my favourite moments is Ryan's reaction to that one Intellivision game that was released in 1990.
