Title: Went to the arcade today
Post by: tp4tissue on Sat, 03 October 2015, 02:44:46
Yup..

Pretty much all the people playing Fighting-games in China are #Ronery4evers  just like ones who play them in Murica'

I held my own in Guilty Gear XX  and The Last Blade

No, Blazblue or SFIV machine..

I got handled in Kof 2003..

________________________________________

Also, I've noticed that Girls roll their eyes just as much in China while watching their boyfriends play that Basketball freethrow game..

Like,, you know,  that'  I'm lamenting every waking moment emotion, when they're re-evaluating their relationship with the now far less desirable partner in front of them.


The boyfriend of course displays the exact opposite emotion, very sure of himself throwing ball after ball, as if some how this pointless exercise will win his woman's heart..

When the game clock ends,  the tickets come out,  boyfriend tears them with glee and proudly hands them to his female..


The female with all her strength manages to contort her face into a fake smile..

The boyfriend of course interprets this positively and will continue to put coins in the machine for the next half hour, before the female comes up with an excuse like she's tired and needs to go home.

YES.

If I win the lottery, one of the first pieces of furniture I would buy would be a TC3 arcade machine complete with light guns.

I get out when necessary...

I'm not against it,  I just prefer internet...

Like, for example.


Going to the arcade, I call the driver,  he gets off his butt, drives from his place to my place (20 minutes) ,  I gotta walk outside, get in the car (5 minutes)

THEN we go to the arcade (15 minutes)

I get to the Mall, walk in past the sea of people, walk to the arcade (7 minutes)

I get distracted, buy a milk tea, and an ice pop.. (5 minutes)

I exchange bills for coins (2 minutes)

I check out the competition, who I can potentially hustle (5 minutes)

Then I sit down pretend to suck (10 minutes)

Then I finally get a few matches in, Place some bets,  some side bets, (20 minutes)

Play the damn game for REAL (5-8 minutes)


I'm like already ****ing 2 hours in,  and I've made maybe 75-Yuan... which is $12 USD


I'm happy about this,  but man,  time efficiency  of AFK is Total POOO...

They had a bunch of NeoGeo machines,  (possibly bootleg roms though)  or maybe the whole thing is bootleg mame, not sure,


but no one was playing the metal slugs.

I've always wanted a 6 slot MVS cab, but they are so big and unwieldy. You need to own a house for that kinda thing.

I've tried it,   it's honestly just OK imho..

I think the game worked better on CRT screens..  It's not very appealing on LCDs..

I had to bust out one of my old CRTs to play it, because i just couldn't follow the disk on my LCD.


OVERALL,  I think super dodgeball is similar and has better pacing, and more time to feint and be strategic.


Whereas Windjammers, is completely an endurance race,  where you keep chasing the frisbee until your opponent gets tired,  or distracted by "boobs" somewhere..

I tried the DDR- Weightloss plan when I was Phat in middles school..

It didn't work,  because right after I played DDR, I would eat 15 dumplings + IceCream.. (http://i.imgur.com/3yMcIf6.gif)
