Fuckin' Jacob's Ladder. Jesus. That movie did for ghost effects what Event Horizon did for space horror.
What am I watching?

So to relieve myself of the stress that came from preparing for my psych final tomorrow, which involved writing a paper I had almost lost when the power went out this afternoon, I decided to go and visit Seattle Gameworks again because dammit I need my Bemani fix. Most of what I played was stuff from yesterday. DDR Extreme I played with another guy only to find that the player 2 dance pad wasn't as responsive as the player 1 side. Pop'n Music I did well with all 9 buttons but god dammit that screen is atrocious. Also did better on Drummania, though timing and hand eye coordination still needed some work.
New games I did play however were DJMax Technika 3 and Too Spicy. Technika is quite interesting compared to the PSP games and DJMax Trilogy on PC, because unlike those games which were closely emulating beatmania, this one is all touch based. Icons appear on the screen and you tap them, or hold or swipe depending on the time of icon that appears. It's all Korean music, both licensed and in house, and it's pretty good.
Too Spicy though...man, that shit's awesome. Like, take the idea of a cover shooter, and turn it into a light gun game with two pedals to move left or right. It moves very fast, and some stages do some interesting things with the cover. One of them had you fighting on a boat during a storm, and the crates used as cover would periodically shift to one side of the ship or the other, so you have to constantly be moving to keep yourself from being exposed. Didn't get past that stage, though, but I'd be down to play more of it. Modern arcade games are fucking rad.
Also, I now noticed why the speakers on the Bemani games were pumped up so loud. It's because normally there's a fuck ton of people making background noise so they pump it up for players to hear. There were a lot more people there playing games than there were when I went yesterday afternoon. Evenings seem to get a lot more traffic there, which made me feel good that there are other people besides me that are willing to go to an arcade in this day and age.
Anyway, now to get back to studying for tomorrow, and since I already did my second trip this week, I'm gonna take a break from taking trips to Seattle for a little while, for time and money reasons. I need to set myself a monthly Bemani regiment so I can get the most out of it.

I'm just a poor boy from a poor family, and I want of nothing, so I can't join the Santa fun times. It's purdy cool that it's actually happening though, ya'll good folk.
I went there the last time I was in Seattle. I mostly played Taiko Drum Master. Nobody came to sit down at the SF4 machine with me.

I still need to make time for Taiko Drum Master. And Ghost Squad. And House of the Dead 4.I went there the last time I was in Seattle. I mostly played Taiko Drum Master. Nobody came to sit down at the SF4 machine with me.
So many games.

You love it
Something dumb that becomes sad then dumb again
I'm sorta disappointed that you didn't check Tank!Tank!Tank! at least once, but it's pretty cool there was a crowd getting hyped for bemani
EDIT: Wait shit I read that wrong. People in arcade is still cool though
Hey now, Christmas is great.

bad gameplay lol
Mrgoodwill bought me a thing, and I gifted out a couple copies of Sonic All-Stars Racing in return. I think I'm good on the Secret Santa thing.
You should be allowed to have fun if you want to, no one's stopping you.
It's up to you to join or not, no one is forcing you to. It's all good.

Hmm, Purolator actually impressed me. Showed up with my PS4 coffin a day after it was made, I scheduled a pickup and the guy showed up 15 minutes later. Delivery of the coffin to Sony takes a single day, so that means I should be getting my PS4 back somewhere between the 19th and 24th. Not too bad, as long as they actually repair it. I fully expect them to pull it out, turn it on, go "hey it's fine" and throw it back in the box without actually testing a game to see the corruption error.

I wish there were arcades around me.
The only game machine I know of is a pinball machine in the lounge area of my work.

Hopefully not. Did you add any info or fill out a form to detail the problem?
Snapshot King

Yeah but the field is a single line. All I could write was Hardware Issue - Visual Corruption. Ideally all my info should be in my file that I spoke to the guy on the phone with.
Oh... i guess i'm a fraud now.

My issue was that there was no picture output. It either was a HDMI failure, or a busted GPU, I never found out.
There was no problems before I took a flight back home, so it probably was a HDMI issue.
Confirmed!

I'm having the exact same fear for my GPU I RMA'd. Finally got received today so I'm hoping they'll issue my refund so that I can order my 970 before the Christmas shipping rush overloads and it takes a goddamn month for it to get to me.
Best case scenerio they send you a new one or fix it by swapping parts or something.
No!!! My life is ruined!

What the FUCK is this 4.1 GB patch for Evil Within on PC?
Literally all it tells me.

Worst case they don't even test it properly and send it back as is, or send me a refurb that was similarly un-repaired from a possibly even worse issue, which as far as I'm concerned is theft considering I paid them to repair it or send me an out of the box new one.

Optimization and bug fixes. You don't need to know what was fixed. Don't question it. Shut up.

Is ZombiU worth $13.99?

I really do though.
Seems to me like they're probably sneaking the DLC in with this patch because this is an absurd file size for "fixes."

I bet Liams right, playthrough 2 on PC with bugs ironed out, I'll have way way way more fun. But it sucks that you have to completely finish encounters to see how they were designed in order to enjoy the game. Conveyance is its biggest sin.
EDIT: Fucking nevermind, the topics in the steam forum are about how entire levels are uncompletable now due to the 4.1 gig patch. Likely do to save data somehow not being compatible jesus christ.
