afaik Remedy had switched their priorities to multiplayer games and VR after Quantum Break bombed, so don't expect much from that teaser.

I was meh on spirited away, it wasn't bad and it was very pretty but I thought it suffered from nothing really sticking with me outside of some character designs

Also a podcast I listen to (We Hate Movies) had an exchange about basketball shorts once in which it was suggested that some creeps wear them bc they're the easiest kind of pants to do stuff like jerk off in a theater in. Always beware of the huge basketball shorts guy.

Holy poo poo this thread moves quick...PantsBandit posted:Barcades like you mentioned that just charge for drinks have a really hard time buying/maintaining new machines. Unfortunately arcade cabinets are expensive and finicky as gently caress, and a guy buying a couple rum and cokes and playing all night doesn't pay the bills like people shoving quarters into pacman. Humm, I don't know how but 16-Bit Bar+Arcade seems to be doing very very well.. They now have 3 locations with a ton of arcade games that always seem to be working and the one in Cincy is in a spot that I know the rent cannot be cheap and the one in Columbus has been there at least 3 years? Ben Smash posted:Ayo, fyallm, Killer Queen is awesome. You were at Logan Arcade, correct? Hit me up, that's my spot for hot Marvel Vs Capcom 2 action. Yeah we had some people with us that don't really like arcade games that ended up loving Killer Queen! I was actually at this place called Abari Game Bar in Charlotte NC.. The place was like an abandoned warehouse with not alot of games and was super run down.. Totally different vibe than 16 bit.

I dunno why a combination of a small cover (to catch people just coming in for games) and drinks couldn't keep a barcade afloat. I've never worked at a bar, but the profit margins on liquor and wine must be incredible.

Hullo possible Columbus friend. I've seen Killer Queen a few times; they have a set at Arcade Super Awesome (and I'm pretty sure I saw it at Ground Kontrol in Portland) and their league nights seem like a lot of hectic fun. The developers of KQ come by for a tournament there and signed some stuff. I've never played, but ten players for a $1 a game is a good way to market a new arcade game to the barcade group. Most of the places I seek out have pinball tables and those are almost never on free play. I look at a place like Level One Bar+Arcade (might also have Killer Queen) and wonder how they make enough for rent, staffing, and maintenance on dozens of arcade cabinets and a dozen pins with just (slightly over-priced) drinks. Even worse, I go to Arcade Super Awesome regularly and I only buy the drinks on special for $3 or less. It's my favorite hangout but I'll be damned if I'll pay $6 a beer when a cheaper craft is available. I can't really think of another new arcade game more recent than Killer Queen though, and it bucks most of the trends the arcade industry held onto for decades. MAME cabinets, I guess, but that's it and I wouldn't count it.

I'm not sure what the reasoning is, but you'd have to have a great collection of games for me to pay even a marginal cover and not just go to another location (or pay the cover for the night and never return). Some places will have bigger machines like DDR or likewise that costs money to play, but how many people who have to play before you'd offset the cost of even one repair call for a weak foot button, not to mention the initial cost of purchasing the machine and transporting it. One thing I'd say is in the favor of barcades is they always seem packed. It must hit all the right buttons for an era of people who grew up around arcades who are now old enough to drink and so soaked in entertainment culture that they'd rather play something with friends than sit at a table and talk.

Barcades all over Chicago. There's one that's a bit trash since it's a college bar but the pinball selection is great. Drinks are loving expensive and it's a massive meat market on the weekends. One of the originals in Chicago has a staggeringly large beer selection and a stage so that's usually a good spot to hit for a fun night. Barcades are great even if the people going aren't "into" games, after a few drinks most people will let you demolish them in mortal Kombat.

But yeah 16bit does charge for pinball and I think everyone is ok with that because of how expensive the maintenance is. I guess the barcades I am use to have a great selection of local craft beer and awesome drinks :HULK HOGAN :VODKA + LEMONADE + ORIGINAL BOMB POP POPSICLE And yeah I would say there are alot more people at these that wouldnt of went to an old school regular arcade... I tweeted at both 16 bit and the KQ guys saying they need to hook up and they both liked my tweet *gushes* I hope this happens!

I've posted about it before but if you live near Chicago and like arcade games you absolutely owe it to yourself to go to Galloping Ghost Arcade. Its a flat fee for all day free play of 550+ cabinets that grows weekly, its so sick. I miss it

I'm fine with paying for pinball because 1) it's a mechanical game with tons of moving parts that can be expensive to maintain and 2) most tables reward skill with replays and extra balls, and then you've got a 1 in 10 shot at a free game at the end with newer tables. With a little luck I can nearly double the value of my coin drop, something that's much harder on an arcade cabinet designed to eat money. I like barcades that remind me of the arcades I used to go to: dark walls, tinted windows, and lots of mirrored surfaces. If it's cramped and you can't hear anything over the deafening crush of sound effects, even better.
