Then why waste your time posting something about it?

Just let it go, man.

I post movie and game news about everything. That' what I do.

Haha, we're posting about random arcade games now? I read about this game in a mag probably about 15 years ago. It's perfectly playable via MAME. There are many gems just waiting around.

Check out the link D, Ninja Baseball Bat Man looks like your kind of game.

I think I have that on MAME.

Captain Commando is my favorite of this style of game.

Treyarch is doing the SP of Cod: Modern Warfare 3.

Always thought it was IW. No complaints from me. Black Ops was great!

For some reason it's the evil bats holding bats that cracks me up the most.

Sure thing. It should run great on MAME.

Completed Halo Reach. What can I say? This franchise just keeps soldiering on and although part of me feels that the announced Halo 4 is beginning to feel like milking the cow, I feel differently now. I'd like to see what 343 Industries is going to bring to the table. Finale Was a bit of a letdown and as for twists and.... .!!!

The fuck? The game isn't over yet!!!

Beright back!

Ok, that was hauntingly beautiful.

EDIT2: Dissapointed though I didn't get to take down a Scarab. That was a highlight in Halo 3 when you had to destroy 2 of them in the same area.

Gonna play Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2. The oldest game I have so might as well catch up from the bottom up. Never quite got into part I, but loved the R6: Las Vegas games a helluva lot. I'm ready for some tense, tactical action, picked the toughest difficulty setting.

Just noticed that Chrono Trigger is now available for download on the Wii Virtual Console for $8.

**EyesWideOpen** · 08-06-2011, 09:28 PM

Finally picked up a copy of Rock Band 3 and transferred over all my RB1, 2 and downloaded stuff. I managed to get a copy for $9. I've been playing it nonstop for the last two days.

Does anyone else find themselves buying as much "cheesy" music as they do "good" music? Especially with vocals I'd much rather play example "Any Man of Mine" by Shania Twain then some obscure indie song I haven't heard of.

I hope we get some Florence + the Machine and some more Yeah Yeah Yeah's besides Maps and Date with the Night.

This is the entire business model of karaoke bars.

**Spinal** · 08-06-2011, 11:02 PM

Rock Band is a party game. Karaoke is a social activity. They both work best when the full group is allowed to share in the experience. Which is why pop songs often work best. There's a time and a place for obscure indie favorites. But Rock Band and karaoke aren't it.

OH yes. I've bought dozens of games for RB that I would never buy anywhere else.

Oh, and EWO, what console are you on? Don't tell me you're a wimpy Wii user like Spinal...

90% of the time I'm playing by myself the other 10% with my wife so not too much partying going on.

And Bacon I play on 360.

Picked up Red Faction: Armageddon. Destroying your environment has never been so much fun.

Interesting. You also played "guerilla?" The destruction was definitely fantastic in that, but with a switch to what I assume is more of a Dead Space kind of game, I guess the destruction can't be as memorably satisfying and monstrous in scope as in the 2009 game. But then according to Eric Bogosian's Travis Dane, "assumption is the mother of all fuckups."
