The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

[padman59]

We should start a new minecraft game on VSN. I played it recently and it's got some pretty good updates over the past while.

The game needs "lives" built in and it's good to go.

I took a hiatus after Notch redid the Cart mechanics with the 1.6 update because I had just finished a rail network on my map, and just like that, it became useless.

Random thoughts:

The largest thread in the arcade is the PS3 MW2 thread.

The 2 largest game specific threads relate to MW2.

The top 5/7 threads not including stickies all relate to the PS3 only.

Personally analyzing the threads I see that 2009 was this forum's high point.

Lan's 360 rosters were easily the most traffic this site has ever seen, its not even close.

COD:BO only accounts as 21% as good as MW2 from a posting standpoint. (Which I agree with, Black Ops is terrible)

Mass Effect 2 is the only blip on the radar as far as 360 exclusives go, and its not even exclusive anymore iirc.


These are just random observations, don't get me wrong, I wish I had a 360, and I will. I plan on owning Halo:Reach to get my ass beat, Forza 4 to school newbs assuming the aids/physics are accurate, and possibly BF:3 if I don't get it for PS3.

We've talked about that on the podcast. As much as some people like to argue it seems the PS3 community is a lot stronger than 360 on this site.

Easily. The elimination of the Madden part of the forum alienated a lot of the MM PS3 guys which was a good reason for the stability of this forum. I belieive the 360 community prevails overall, but not here.

Now that is gone and all you have is remnants.

Not to knock this forum as is, but I'm not confident in its future.

If there is any contender to take down the FOOT:MW2 thread it will be the FOOT:BF3 thread.

Unfortunately I have too many real world responsibilities to make a significant impact

Just as another random thought I really miss the days of Halo 2. Playing with Twigg and his wife, talking shit with MVPete. I had 3 roommates and we had a 4TV, 4Xbox, 4halo2 setup. Get drunk, wax people in Halo 2. Now life sucks, responsibility is boring.

Twigg, do these names ring a bell at all?

soundcrimes, PunchinInfants, BigErn, ChronicBigErn, ScrubTwista?

:rofl: Man I am sorry, wingsfan also

Now that I think about it there is someone else that played with us a lot also, I can't remember his name, I think it started with a R

Scrubtwista went pro for a while, he still plays on the MLG tour periodically. There is a LAN center here that some of the pros used to play tourneys here, but I am too old to even step foot in there anymore.

I definitely remember PunchInfants and the BigErn guys but not the other two.

You're probably thinking about Ralnakor.

Those were good times. Pretty much every night we would play for hours.

There's a Minecraft update Thursday too.

I played sometimes with a friend that was reeeeeeaaally into it back at school, mainly watching, but I haven't been able to get into it on my own though at all. I guess just haven't had enough of a time commitment to sync in enough hours to really do anything.

If VSN had a server I'd be sure to check it out though.

It was in fact me (that hurts that I've already been forgotten...lol). I miss those days where we'd all get together for our legendary Halo nights.

In fact, MmmmmBeeeeer and I were teamed up in that tournament we did where it lasted a single round before the whole thing went up in smoke. As I recall, we dominated Twigg and someone else. Might have been MVPete.

Finally done with my final paper for my summer class. Going to get back into inFamous this weekend. I'll probably pick up Arkham Asylum tomorrow or Friday to play as well.

Just beat Shadows of the Damned, must rent guy's hope someone else here try's the game out.

Legion Hunter (Hard) was easy throughout the game but the last 2 bosses really are a bitch fun game all in all.

 

[Rudi]

I need a new game to play.

 

[Bmore]

With Duke Nukem behind him, Bmore sets out on a journey to Transylvania.

 

[Buzzman]

Pretty much the same way I feel. I'm a little tempted to get the Ico/Shadows of the Colossus bundle in September though.

 

[Twigg4075]

I'm not in that boat at all. NCAA, Resistance 3, Rage and maybe Madden before Batman hits.
