The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

For you Forza Racers....

I entered in Monday nite racing over at Realistic Racing. Here is my fugly car.


Merc by jms493, on Flickr

We did a 39 lapper on Hockenhiem Short. I qualified 8/12 with a 1:09 and change. The poll was taken with a 1:07.144. I figured you guys would get a chuckle out of this. On lap like 35/36 I was lapped by the top 3 racers...lulz. One of them being the famous Hellisan. Those fuckers are fast. FYI I messed up once...that being having all 4 tires on the grass once.

So however many times you guys cursed me out...dont worry I get my ass handed to me in this league. I passed the 7th place car on the last lap after tailgating him for like 10 laps.
 
So, another giveaway here from your friendly neighborhood douchebag Sethmode. I picked up the Humble Indie Bundle and I have Steam or Origin codes (depending on your choosing) for the following games I don't care to really have another go with on PC:

Crysis 2 Maximum, Dead Space and Mirror's Edge. First PM, first serve...try not to be a dick and take them all if you aren't interested in them.

I can't remember what people think about Medal of Honor here. Is it worth a play through? Not unlike JMS, I value my game playing time at this point, and I basically did this bundle to get a PC Burnout Paradise, Battlefield 3 and Dead Space 3, so I could chuck MoH in the mix too if it's not really worth playing through (I'm leaning towards not playing it).

It wasn't too bad. I thought it was better than the second one. If you have the urge to play a modern military shooter campaign, it's not your worst option. Is it memorable like say Spec Ops, GR: Future Soldier or CoD4: MW, no. I'd hit you up for Mirror's Edge, but I think I'm just going to get the bundle myself anyways.

Did you get a new PC? Or will they all run for you, for the most part?

I'm very curious how the Dead Space 3 PC port is.

I'll just go ahead and say that MoH is on the table to. It sounds fine, but I have such a backlog at this point, fine isn't really going to cut it (that and I think I burned out on SP for military shooters on CoD4:MW:2).

Not yet, but I've been stocking up on Humble Bundles recently for when that day (hopefully sooner rather than later) comes.

Definitely a good call. I don't know why I wasn't doing the same. There were so many good deals I missed that I ended up paying so much more for because I wasn't thinking.

I know you're on Steam now, so keep an eye there too. I bought Arkham Asylum for under 2 bucks when I knew it wouldn't work. Enjoying it now in all of it's PC splendor (and double the cheevo points!)

Sethmode you are right...Deadlight is just starting to get annoying.

I was trying to remember when it was...I feel like it's shortly after you meet the Rat King?

It's a shame, because the game isn't bad, but the first third feels like a really great Flashback style/Prince of Persia style zombie game.
 
BIT.TRIP... Runner 2 is letting me know how hard it is to jump, float and duck at exactly the right time, as needed.

Yup thats it seth...jumping over spikes and diving through traps...sigh.
 
Who puts a spike ball there? Really?!

Meanwhile BIT.TRIP just laughs and tells me to do it again, Monkey... :lol:
 
I was curious at work this morning...so this is my current build in my PC

Part Manufacturer Price
  • CPU Intel I5 4670K------------$199
  • MB Gigabyte Z87-UD4H-------$75 (possible price error from Microcenter)
  • RAM Corsair Vengeance 8GB----$90
  • PSU Corsair HX750-------------$120
  • GRAFX Gigabyte GTX 760 ---------$250
  • Cooler Corsair H80 Liquid Cooler---$102
  • HDD Seagate Barracuda 1 TB---$60
  • SSD Corsair Force 90GB--------$150
  • Case Fractal R2 Midi V2 ---------$65
  • DVD LITE-ON DVD Burner-------$21
  • TOTAL $1,132

I went to newegg and added all those parts to the cart today and it came to with shipping $1,320. It really goes to show you the fluctuating prices of PC parts and the ability to snag the good deal here and there.
 
So, after reading about Gone Home...I bought it and "beat" it. It's a very interesting game. It looks nice and tells a story that is genuinely touching and feels pretty real. I'd recommend it, although not if you're picky about price points (it's 18 bucks even on sale right now for about 3 hours, at max, of play time).

I really wanna play it but I think I'm gonna hold off until a sale of some sort. I can't keep buying games when I have, by my count, 19 games I still have to beat/play.

I had the exact same outlook, and then broke down and got it when I realized it was only 3 hours. I then plowed right through it.

It's definitely not a game for everyone. But I can't honestly say it would put any kind of dent in your backlog reducing goal. It's a buy and beat.
