That I think is what's most important: acceptance of a wide variety of tastes. There are a lot of beers in the USA I'm learning to like but can't buy here. It sounds bad, but in November it sounds like I'll be doing some drinking at Disneyworld. EPCOT is like a covert- ops ode to beer lovers. The kids don't see in the buildings where you can buy beers you could stuff three laboratory fetuses inside. But hey, I think Coors isn't bad. It's a good cold beer when it's hot or after work, but on the other hand I like Corona too so feel free to pistol-whip me with a Desert Eagle. I also imagine pretty much any of us gave the house guest standard courtesy towards beer. let's face it: you're over at a person's house and they hand you a beer, you drink it. I hope you wont turn up your nose and say "I wouldn't put this mud-puddled piss in a parapelegic stray dog's bowl." We might dislike beers, but we can still TAKE 'em. Provided that beer isn't Michelob or Olde English. And in the end, I liked Fat Tire. Decent.
San Diego has Pizza Port which is awesome, not only because the beer is world class but the food is good. Its a pizza place with arcade games and picnic benches. So you can take the kids there and catch a buzz. Awesome place. Mind you, its not a kids place, but its kid friendly.
I just started watching House of Cards tonight. It's super enjoyable to experience it in little bursts of 30 seconds to a minute in between all the buffering.
I would love to own a golden age arcade, but it would probably attract the same assholes the original ones did, at least around here. But I would be picky of my selection. I would have to at least have: Double Dragon After Burning (full cockpit) NARC Rampage Galaga Street Fighter II: Champion Edition Street Football Super Zaxxon Star Wars (original two-coloured awesomeness) Sunset Riders Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Bad Dudes WrestleFest Virtua Fighter Hit the Ice! Shinobi Mortal Kombat II Operation Wolf IronMan Stewart's off road ...any you'd add? I'm a little high.
Galaga for the win! I loved that game. I even got it for my phone, although not quite the same of course. I would also need a Pac Man (regular or Ms.) game. Preferably a sit down one so my ass could get nice and fat as well. Go big or go home.
That X-Men game chassis was massive. I remember the first one was six players wide. And Ms. PAC Man was the best of the series.
There were so many gun games, I really don't know what to pick. I saw one called "Bulletstorm" where you essentially annihilate every single thing you see.
I like the Time Crisis games where you add the peddle element in addition to the gun. Area 51 has taken hundreds of my dollars. My favorite beat em up four player is The Simpsons. I am going to buy a raspberry pi, and build and arcade cabinet to play old school arcade games and super Nintendo games. I feel like a hipster, because most games made post Nintendo 64 don't really appeal to me.
Oldboy is a seriously twisted film. Fuck me. The one with Josh Brolin, if KiMaster was still posting I am sure he'd be jumping my shit for not watching the original directors cut in Japanese but fuck him. EDIT: And Tekken is the only arcade game I have spent coins on, I'd love to have one in my house.
Back when arcades actually existed outside of Japan, fighting games were pretty much all I wanted to play. Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, especially Tekken. Gotta have those in there to make things interesting, but my first thought of X-Men was already taken due to the awesomeness of that cabinet alone.
I do like the original's style and I think its better (they did I think seven entire hammer takes) but I also like that Lee's remake wasn't a carbon copy.
Do any of youse remember the pinballs? Two I loved were Funhouse and Dr. Dude. Frebis: The Simpsons was good (always used Homer) but imagine if they just waited a couple more years when 100 more characters were added to the show.
I long for a good Simpsons game. They just dont exist. I have always envisioned a zelda rip off (the old top down ones) staring Bart (Maybe with a Bartman costume change later in the game). There are endless villains, endless places, endless characters and they already have 500 story lines to pick from.
