I definitely remember the game you're describing, but hell if I can think of the name.

I really wish Ace Combat would get ported to Switch, as near as I can tell there’s an utter dearth of air combat sims on it and I just wanna blow up some dudes in a dogfight

I know it is not a sim but Crimson Skies was a great game, the sequel less so.

One thing younger people will not realize is that every old pc action game was awful because PC controllers were complete and abject trash until the xbox 360 came out. Just hundreds upon hundreds of godawful pieces of poo poo that were all terrible. Flight sticks? Awesome, an actual controller that could move a character to the left or right in a proper manner? Impossible.

I'm dying, y'all. Someone I work with posted in our agency group about a problem with a katana that her son bought at Epcot in the Japan pavilion. Despite living in Orlando, they had to get it mailed to their house (can't have weapons in the park, I guess) and it came in today. She was mad because when they unsheathed the sword there was an inscription on it and she thought maybe someone had bought it and returned it so they got a used sword. The inscription said "To my brother Budd, the only man I ever loved. - Bill". She had no idea.

He did not ask for the engraving. They were very surprised to see it. She said they didn't really examine the sword when they bought it and of course it got packed and shipped right after they bought it. I get the impression the kid is fairly young so I doubt he's seen the movies.

BigPaddy posted:Hockey tickets are cheap because the Coyotes suck. The area is close to State Life Stadium if you wanted to go into the Cards team shop in Glendale. Plenty of parks and trails for walking. Barrett Jackson Classic Car Auction is in Scottsdale that week. Mill St in Tempe is the student area if you want to feel old and you are close by to the Tempe “Beach” on the Salt River. Oooh cool. Thanks! I'll see what I have time for but this is a good starter pack for me. I am likely going to drive as it doesn't seem too bad from LA and I hate fed-exing my demo package. I might even stay an extra day if I'm feeling frisky.

Just hundreds upon hundreds of godawful pieces of poo poo that were all terrible. This but a slight change - it's not that the controllers were trash (though they largely were), it's that controller support was incredibly hit and miss. having the Xbox 360 pad become a default PC game pad not only meant most games supported it, but supported game pads period, which then begat developers allowing for more native support for basically all of the console controllers (especially now that many also support Bluetooth). Barudak posted:Flight Simulator is on PC, Console, and might even be able to be streamed to your mobile phone and kicks loving rear end for flying around our planet and seeing it. it's also available as part of Game Pass on PC and Xbox, and can confirm it actually runs and looks good on Series S.

Yeah, a bunch of the countries in EPCOT are like that. 20~ years ago, Japan was amazing for having stuff like import Gundam models and other stuff right when that was blowing up.

drat. This old PC gaming talk brought back the most vague memory of what I think was a flight combat game that didn't run well until I got a Voodoo2 graphics card (my only wait-in-line Black Friday purchase ever). I can't remember nearly enough to even describe it other than it was dark/set at night and was futuristic. Funny how that came back to me.

Is Ace Combat 7 cool? I don't want a story with it, I just want to fly around and dogfight. I love flying in GTA V, oddly enough. Barudak posted:Flight Simulator is on PC, Console, and might even be able to be streamed to your mobile phone and kicks loving rear end for flying around our planet and seeing it. I'm on PS4. I'd loving love it, but microsoft is almost completely empty from this household outside of my work email. Coco13 posted:Sid Meier’s Memoir!

Great look at very early computing culture. I'll have to check it out. Sid Meier is god to a 90s nerd like me. Gettysburg! was fantastic too, but wasn't as legendary as his other titles.

(I am unfamiliar with either but had a minute to look at things that might have needed a Voodoo 2 card.) Flight sims, well modern day flight sims, always seem to be prettier than other games in whatever era we're talking about. There's a reason this happens and why you can cheat on graphics, but I don't remember what it is. I guess you mostly don't have to render much other than the planes. I remember a couple/few years ago someone did a damned near perfect Top Gun opening sequence in some game I'd never heard of.

Did anyone play that ww2 dog fighting game about 10 years ago where you could steal enemy planes by landing at their airfield and then they'd end up in your hanger for other missions. It went right through the european campaign, to the pacific and then back to end with being able to fly a gloster meteor and me 292 etc. Now that I think about it even had missions where you were on a carrier fighting over the ocean and a lancaster bomber?
