LawfulWaffle posted: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. pinball dings like no other ding worth the drat 50c or 1$ every time!!!

jarbv posted:pinball dings like no other ding I live for the knock! e: Actually, to bring this back around to videogames, consider this a PSA not to buy Stern Pinball on PSN or XBLA. It has some tables not available on The Pinball Arcade, but the tables are all dark with no way of controlling the lighting, the flippers on some tables (notably the mini playfield in AD/DC) seem shorter than they should be, and outside of bundles table are $10 a pop. There's a lot of room for improvement before you bite that bullet. LawfulWaffle fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Nov 17, 2016 |

I love that scene, but the way it's been passed around gave me the wrong impression about what the movie is like. There's definitely magical, symbolic stuff going on, but it all linked to a greater storytelling whole. Totally enthralling.

I keep trying to be cheap and borrow Disney/Ghibli films from my local library but since they are mostly naturally kept in the kids wing every time I get one there's a ton of scratches or just gunk that keeps me from actually being able to watch them. I got to watch half of Ponyo before it turned to a slideshow, tho.

LawfulWaffle posted: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. Oh I'm very familiar with 16 Bit (I live in cinci). It's a bit of a unique case because it gets CRAZY traffic. I've never been to 16 Bit and not had it be wall to wall. Notably though the one in OTR used to have a Street Fighter cabinet and now no longer does, and I can't think of any cabinets they do have that would've been made within the last decade or so. Arcade Legacy is another barcade in cinci that has much more manageable crowds, though that's again reflected in the cabinet selection.

Marcus from Watch Dogs 2 is a good protagonist and he's written in a way that makes me feel weird when I kill someone in WD2. It's also weird that there isn't a non-lethal melee attack.

wizard on a water slide posted:It rules.  but, I don't know, the ending just seemed... silly? And I don't mean the kind of silly you would expect from a Mother game. I mean why did I go through with literally destroying the entire loving world after taking care of Porky and his goons? There didn't seem to be much of a point in pulling the last needle and resurrecting the dragon once the threat was thwarted.Did I get a bad ending? I'm pretty sure it doesn't have multiple endings though...

I didn't see any of these or the other ones you posted. Could have sworn that the top of the sprite was a skull for a head and that he had epaulets on his cloak.

That's the only ending, yes unless you don't move around when the "End?" graphic pops up, but most people instinctively do. There's an unused sprite that says something along the lines of "HAPPY END", so who knows what the hell was planned for the game originally; I'm thinking the original ending had worse implications and that graphic was meant to be sarcastic.

Wanted to share a little something with you guys. I've been playing the new Master of Orion (it's ok) and they made the very nice touch of creating individual portraits for all of your spies, for every race. Like each agent gets a unique, race specific portrait with no duplication as far as I can tell even with a roster of 10+ agents. I've playing the Alkari (space birds) and these are some of my agents. It's a small thing but it goes so far is making the universe feel polished and attaching you to the in-game atmosphere. Why can't all 4x games do this!
