What? This thread is one of the most long lasting and still active threads on the shmup meet forum. We just have our dry spots here and there.
Any who, yes the faux cab is addorable in a way. But also extremely effective. Dare I say super effective.
Oh by the way, if I buy a Batrider board, could you get a cabinet at AFC to put it in? I would donate the board if you could. Well maybe not donate but let you guys have it for a prolonged period of time.

I'd figure out a way to make this happen. Also thought about snagging one of their Neo Geo machines and buying carts for it, but I don't have the money for that yet. lol. My only concern is that we'd have to work something out so you can play for free or something. It's in their facility, BUT it IS your game, and I don't want you to pay to play your own game, lol. I'll ask about it though. See what they say and try to work something out. I'll just ask what they would do for that possible scenario.
Thinking about it, I'd buy some boards if we did that. Swap them out every so often or something? Seen some go for quite cheap through some of our contacts. I'll keep an eye out for Batrider too. I can ask around if you'd like.
WOW, this thread has blown up!
I haven't played any shooters in a while… been playing SMS and a little NES.
Saturday is good if folks want to come by.
For Ayanami,
We need to get another large scale gathering going soon! - I'll even bring my monitor and TV for additional displays! LETS DO IT!
For Mrtie,
I should be able to make it there that weekend of July 11. I regret I have not been able to come by sooner as gas prices have climbed and I'm still out of work (not for long likely though) I'll update first post with the information too

I might be free Saturday, not sure yet. What time would be good? I always seem to be way early. If I come I'll bring that Agetec stick for you.

I could probably give a few people rides. Although I'm part of the Corolla gang so space is limited.

I only ask because the Warren one is closer to me, but I already have a suspicion that the Troy one is going to be superior.
LOL. Yeah... the Warren location is... more redemption games and they don't really have any of the new stuff. It's too close for them to have all the same games, because then you're dividing the community too much. The customers are a lot different out there, and I wouldn't dare put a new game like SF4 over there. Quite a few machines have gotten beaten up pretty badly.
There is still construction going on where Universal Mall was, so once everything is up and running we'll see what we can do with the place.
EDIT - Just got my JP 360 in the mail today! Now all I need to do is buy some games. lol.
I can now do CAWMBOWS in T6. Also, on day 2 of me playing the game, I got a 27 win streak in BR.
This can only mean one thing: Michigan is really bad at Tekken. lol. Almost as bad as I am at Batrider.
I think I'm starting to understand the mechanics of the game (and the appeal to casual players- holy crap are combos easy) but some things still elude me, like how moves function vs. step. And step in general, really. Joe?
Now, it's time to go to VIOLENT CITY.
Blake-
I remember a thing you told me about that let's me see how much everything is worth point wise in Batrider. What would that be, senor? I'd like to see it/play with it.

lol streaks
basically certain moves track one way, not at all, or both ways (homing moves, which generally when they're done, will have like a white trail on them...I think one of king's is f+4? lol no idea). But this is a shmups board! lol
Katie's JP 360 is awesome Granted all she has is hexic atm, still awesome lol
I need parts… preferably a seimitsu stick and 6 sanwa buttons. I am going to modify the DC agetec stick - actually I need to since the stock stick has too much rebound and I was getting owned in Mars Matrix… It doesn't cause issue in Zero Gunner 2 - I guess tap movements are not necessary in that game lol…
AND…
I am going to be selling my PVM 2030 monitor as I am in the process of getting a PVM 2530 monitor! 25 inch display FTW!
Not a problem. What colors were you looking for? I ordered a ton of extra white buttons, so if you just want a quick fix for those they should be in some time in the next week. I don't have any spare seimitsu sticks though. I just placed an order, so depending on how it goes I'm not sure when I'll be placing another one. I've dealt with a few places for Alpha that sells them, so I'm going to see if they can work with me on shipping costs and/or pricing. I'll be sure to let you know what I find out =)
So who all plans on coming up to my place on Saturday July 11th? The dates getting a bit closer now, and just wondering what sorta yhead count I'm looking at or if it's just gonna be Jazz, Davey, and myself If you guys want more specific location /directions PM me, My house is about 60 miles north of the palace of auburn hills, up M-24, So it is a hike but it's not really unbearable.
I'd love to have you come out Zero Otaku and Ayanami.

so do You work for Alpha Amusements?
I'm a service tech up at their Frankenmuth arcades.
haha, no way. That's crazy.
Yeah, I manage the American Fun Centers owned by Alpha. Do some other stuff from time to time as well when they need extra help. How long have you worked up there?
I may be able to swing up for the meeting on the 11th. Work is a bitch, and there is also a fighting game tourney that I said I was going to go to. So I am very much undecided right now.
