Biggest arcade cabinet to show up in actual arcades? Probably Namco’s Galaxian 3 (which was a 6-player sit-down shooter): https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7889

I’d almost be tempted to order the Japanese version instead, mostly for MUSHA. Had a copy of it back when I owned a Genesis, sold it off later on, now the price has gone through the roof (there’s reproduction copies out now, but a complete original US version in box seems to go for at least $300 now, most likely more…

You have to beat chapter 8 to unlock this one, and the recommendation is that you beat the C-sides before trying it.

These dump trucks with trailers are all over the place around here (Western WA and you see them mostly on commercial/high rise construction sites during the excavation phase. I would assume they do it to be able to haul away the maximum amount of excavated material possible in each load.

I was one of the ones who rented it and played it for only a weekend back in the day (it was incredibly rare that we got the chance to rent a SNES from the local video store.) Didn’t get a chance to beat it at the time (that wouldn’t come until later on Wii VC) but it definitely left an impression. The fact that the…

Maybe not as popular as it is in Asia, but India influenced British food quite a bit during its time as a British colony.  Think of British Indian food as being something similar to American Chinese food or American Italian food and you get the idea.

The 99 cent Deluxe Double Stacks were the way to go for me. I know they still have the double stack on the menu but it just isn’t as good as the deluxe version was. It also helped that the drive thru at the local Wendy’s was blazing fast at the time, and a lot of the time you could be through the line and driving off…

Back when I played the first open Beta of WoW, I had been coming from 2+ years of playing Asheron’s Call, which was entertaining enough but also very primitive in comparison. With this context in mind, entering Stormwind for the first time and seeing how elaborately everything was may have been the single moment in a…

There was also a rather large organized protest of anti-vaxxers outside the expo hall as well.

Spending tomorrow at PAX, aside from that I’ve been playing a lot of Minecraft lately on my brother’s realm.  I’ll probably throw in a bit of Super Mario Maker 2 as well, bought it and have hardly played it yet.

Breath of the Wild.  Put well over 100 hours into it but never beat Calamity Ganon.

I hardly watched the show, but in our family, we still refer to anything really nerdy as being “pale kid” stuff.

Back into Minecraft, my brother recently started a realm to play on with some of our nephews so I’m trying to build some stuff. Might also pick up Dicey Dungeons, been seeing a lot of videos of it on YouTube and it looks  entertaining but replayability seems like it might be limited.

Just spent six days driving a Camry as a rental in California. There’s nothing particularly fancy about it, but it’s not completely gutless like most rental cars I end up with, it’s got plenty of room, only needed to put half a tank of gas in after around 225 miles of driving and even if it was bland enough that we…

Been playing Borderlands 2 again lately, and I think it holds up pretty well for its age in terms of mechanics, but I forgot just how annoying the character of Handsome Jack was. I get that they really, really, REALLY want the player to want him dead, but I was seriously tempted to just turn off the voices so I…

Although for F1 you could say the same thing about Michael Schumacher.

Dad build for TF2:  Play medic.

Don’t have a lot of D&D experience, but it leads me to wonder how one would make a character like Rincewind from the Discworld novels. An utterly incompetent “Wizzard” with basically zero magic skill and no other particularly useful skills, a tendency to attract disaster wherever he goes, but also an uncanny ability…

I feel like at this point they’re a dead studio walking, and we’re just waiting for the inevitable closure announcement.  

I don’t play a lot of gacha games anymore, but it seems to vary from app to app. Puzzle and Dragons (which I used to play quite a bit) makes it pretty easy to find, putting a prominent “Lineup” button on the rare egg machines leading to the odds page. Legendary: Game of Heroes (which I stopped playing a few months ago)…
