read comments below the video,has a list of who the commentators on the video are,none of which really work in the game industry. My captions were close in fact on a couple of them in those pics,esp the "just here for the check" woman.

Haaahaha, I finally watched that Death of Arcades video and I was laughing so hard when that Seth Green wannabe said "WHY DO I WANT TO SPEND, IN THIS CASE, $54 DOLLARS FOR A GAME THAT GIVES ME THREE MINUTE BURSTS OF FUN!?". Too, too funny!

[Turbo D]

He makes it sound like a prostitute, lmao

  This guy is way to relax to review this game 

I stopped watching it after I heard him pronounce it as "Whys four".

[PCEngineHell]

The thing is we all know thats prob what he has to resort to,the $54 dollar for 3 min prostitute deal that is.

I don't even know where he came up with that number anyway. If he was referring to NEO AES he was way way off. If Neo Cd then maybe,but doubtful. These people don't seem like the type to know what a Neo cd is. The only reason they maybe slightly knew what the Neo was, was because of the lines the director gave them to read. The only actual titles mentioned in any form were obvious ones like Strider and Final Fight and Altered Beast. Basically the stuff these people got to play on PS2 complication disc or on their Celeron equipped eTower running Mame32.

 I mean,the ingame footage they showed was even from emus,not actual hardware. They must have did maybe 5 mins of research,subjected these non- gamer Sony age people to 20 mins of old school classics,games far far too hard for them,because arcade games require skill to survive and to save quarters,and twitch reflexes,which the Sony generation does not have. The end result was that these obvious non- gamers would then say negative things about arcade gaming on film because they obviously suck at it,thus helping to push said directors grossly flawed opinions.

Of course they omit any type of acknowledgement of the fact they are obvious non-gamers or that they were born far late into the 80ies to have played any of the games they are talking about. Only one person,the older dark haired women would have possibly been old enough to have played Final Fight back in 89,and even then,we know shes not the gamer type,so she doesn't even count.

These people were only picked because the director felt they represent todays fashion looks anyway. You can just tell. I mean,none of them work directly in the game industry in any way that even remotely counts,and being a guitar hero master or whatever doesn't fucking count. That doesn't make her even in the least bit legitimate,and def does not symbolize hardcore gaming,nor does her weak ass emo tats and do the math 2 wolves kissing t-shirt she nabbed from the mall. Thats not even in the same caliber/league as being the weakest Pokemon gamer in the world at a SNK/Capcom type game tournament getting their ass kicked. All she has proven is she is a monkey that can do finger memorization tricks and is amazed by bad cover versions of music,flashing colors, and ugly 3d graphics.
Oh,and she has the amazing ability to abuse the word "like" and repeat other peoples opinions and attempt to pass them off as her own or pass them off as facts....the equivalent would be kinda like a Teddy Ruxpin doll with a Michael Moore cassette tape trown in.  Her massive abuse of the word like and her last comments prove she doesn't have a constant thought process that last long enough to form educated opinions,let alone false/flawed ones for that matter.

[Kitsunexus]

She was kinda hot though, in a nerdy sorta way. 


/ i keed, i keed....

[Joe Redifer]

Unfortunately for her, that video is the hottest she has/can/will ever look.  If you check out her MySpace page (linked to on one of the other forums bashing her) you'll quickly think otherwise.

Also, it said that one dude was a "game developer".  What does that mean?  Probably that he tinkers around in DOS.

[PCEngineHell]

Not even Dos,he prob just develops different versions of checkers and mine sweeper on paper.

[esteban]

I'm too lazy to read the director's attempt to defend himself (I read a little bit), but I'm surprised that Mr. Helgeson hasn't copy-n-pasted his stuff here .

Of course, I should just read the comments at the place Michael linked to, but they are in reverse chronological order -- I hate that!

I stopped watching it after I heard him pronounce it as "Whys four".

Me too pretty much, but I got a big kick out of that and loved it.

I don't even know where he came up with that number anyway. If he was referring to NEO AES he was way way off. If Neo Cd then maybe,but doubtful. These people don't seem like the type to know what a Neo cd is. The only reason they maybe slightly knew what the Neo was, was because of the lines the director gave them to read.

Not only is $54 way off from what the games did actually cost, but I like how he specifically labeled the price with a 4 instead of just rounding to $55 or the more normal game price, $50. Anyway, if Neo Geo games were actually "$54 dollars" as he said, then I think we would've had a completely different outcome for the 16-bit era .

[Kitsunexus]

I think he forgot the 0 on $540. That's the only problem with the Neo·Geo, so damn expensive. >_<

However, I am of the opinion that it would be worth selling a kidney for. ^_^

[Joe Redifer]

I recently watched this on Youtube:

Games are not art?  Well check this out.  It's Shenmue related, so if u r a htr, then you should avoid.

[Turbo D]

That was pretty cool. I wouldn't mind having a video game painting on my wall.

Well... I'm playing around with my capture device
and captured my (a little rusty) playing of Vigilante for the SMS:
http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=815112375250469688&hl=en-CA

My initial plan is to see if I can make comparison videos between the SMS version and the TG version but for some reason I can't seem to find my Vigilante HuCard anywhere?

I am experiencing some problems though with Capturing the video though... I'm using an "ADS Pyro A/V" (Converts analog video i.e. composite to Digital i.e. "firewire" and iMovie HD.)  I'm getting tearing every 2 minutes or so (You can see it in the video in the first stage when I get to the two blue buildings with the "Maria Signs".)   Anyone have any clues?  (Looks like the audio slipped as well?  I think the originals are fine though.)

[CosMind]

yuzo koshiro spinning live in a tokyo club (koshiro's one of the maybe 2 cats who ever could make the genesis/megadrive sound chip sing).

ear love.

[Ninja Spirit]

Haha he got people clapping too, that's priceless

[Joe Redifer]

He's just standing there adjusting a little knob every now and then. 

koshiro's one of the maybe 2 cats who ever could make the genesis/megadrive sound chip sing

That's right, and the Saturn can't do transparencies and the TurboGrafx was a slow machine since it was 8-bit!

[Kitsunexus]

Whoever said that most people cannot make the Genesis sound good has most likely played like FOUR Genesis games in their life.


You hear a lot of SNES games praised for their music, but honestly just as much Genesis games have great soundtracks.

And if you start in on that "FM synthesis sucks blah blah blah", lemme just let you know:


You like the cock.


Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I'm just saying, you like the cock. You puff peters, you smoke fags (literally), the only instrument you can play is the skin flute, you like your ham sandwich with extra mayo, you slurp your vanilla milkshake through a long straw, you order the cream of Sum Yung Gai at a Chinese restaruant, etc...

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just sayin'. 

[Turbo D]

haha, that guy likes cock. Not that there is anything wrong with that 

[Tatsujin]

great arcade game in a great arcade:

[CosMind]

wonderful, folks...

glad that you so ably misconstrued my statement.

i never dogged on the gene's sound hardware with those words.  i dogged on all the weakling composers who never managed to properly harness it as masters like koshiro did.

seems to me like the cock is stuck deep in your own mouths. all that choking is rattling your brains and preventing you from really reading my statement.

anyhow, stupid of me to contribute to banal humor and flaming.  no hard feelings from me toward you.  simply put - i feel koshiro is hundreds of levels above a vast majority of those who composed for genesis/megadrive games.  sure, there are some good to great soundtracks out there - but very few on the same level of koshiro's (opinion).

 

[Kitsunexus]

LOL @ troll retcons, INTURWEBZ SRIOUS BIZNESS!


AAAAAAANyway, this is kind of an important video with me, it touched off my disillusionment with Cartoon Network.

It's smart, it's funny, it's clever and it got second place to fucking Kids Next Door. >_<

Fuck them.

[CosMind]

that is ace quality, for surely.

pass a "funk them" over from me to them, as well

Recently, I was bitten by the "crate digging" bug, tracking down those original samples used in rap (I recall some of y'all hate rap)

Long documentary on a drum beat you've heard EVERYWHERE but you don't realize it since they vary the speeds on it.

DJ Souliva exposes dozens of samples. His record collection is so huge he made 11 videos of these.

Just check out his profile for the other 8

If you can watch this troglodyte for more than 15 seconds, you are a masochist.

I watched the whole thing  .

I love it when he says VIRTUA FIGHTAR at 2:44!!! In fact the whole part of him listing his 32x games was great.

[Ninja Spirit]

More Percolator wackiness. The song is so mood altering, it can even crack a grin on cyborgs.

The funniest things about the Percolator, is that you can remix it with ANY song of your choice and it fits perfectly, almost doesn't matter what genre it is, or when a DJ plays with the popping noises themselves

[Turbo D]

Those videos are funny  Its time for the perculator 

[Ninja Spirit]

Speaking of percolator Turbo D, lemme tell you this story

While me and this guy was playing some Playstation, he was drinking some Kool Aid. After he took a swig, a big drop fell off his lip back into the glass and made that loud "WOOOOOMP" liquid sound. Already having a great deal of Kool Aid in his mouth, the first thing that came to his mind was the Percolator, he was about to burst out in laughter, tried to hold it in but it was too strong for him and he spit it all out nearly getting it all over his PS.

[Turbo D]

  great story 

[Joe Redifer]

Percolater.  I watched the videos and I tried to laugh, I really did.  But I couldn't find anything funny to laugh at.

[Ninja Spirit]

haha I rest my case

[Kitsunexus]

Wow, that Perculator song is shittier than anything I ever made when I was 7 with Mario Paint...

And here's a fun drinking game! Every time the 32x dude says "and things like that", take a shot of tequila. After 2 minutes, you won't even care that the video is shit anymore. You probably also won't feel your face when it hits the keyboard.

[Turbo D]

I could sure go for a blue cadillac margarita right now

This guy is insane. He has a bazillion videos already, most of them are Q & A style. Why would anyone ask this guy questions? I only watched a bit of one episode -- I honestly couldn't make it to the end. Maybe I'll try again later.

The 32X video was a masterpiece compared to these Q & A style videos.

I suggest we start watching them, Keranu. You pick the first one.

I have to agree this guys insane simple as, i couldnt watch all the 32x vid (youtube hates me  ) so i watched this

vid instead..............................*coughs*......................well what can i say if you watch the video he goes on about why he's a 'retrogamer'....and on and on. I think the 'spark' he talks about in the vid is nostalgia nothing more, and to those who watch the vid: 'oder games' 

EDIT: looks like you only have to watch half the vid (after he gives you the guided tour of his room) becasue he starts to repeat himself word for word
