Official Arcade Thread!

[DocWalt]

Bring it, gamers! :p

I started a curveball tournament, join up so we can help test the system :)

[Zaroth]

Bring it!

[DocWalt]

Twizted, bring the heat!

[Mean Green]

dude...the arcade thing kicks ass...like totally..

[DocWalt]

I'm addicted to curveball, lmao

[onebadmollafolla]

I have copious amounts of spare time at work. I will take some titles. Give it time. :D

[Zaroth]

This arcade might get me fired from work.

[DocWalt]

You guys have friggin insane scores in some of these games already, wtf!

[DocWalt]

This arcade might get me fired from work. For real :( So friggin addicting.

[Alan92RTTT]

IF you think its bad now. You should see some of the games that are not posted yet. ;)

It will take time to get them prepped so don't expect them soon.

[DocWalt]

oh no. If I lose my job, it's your fault :p

[Fletch]

Love this. Great playing while wife has a bad show on the TV.

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

Crap did I miss a tourney? I was re-wiring my garage all night :/

+1 for addicting. I think I played for a hour straight. It cut into TF2 time.

[DocWalt]

You can still sign up. It's a long-ish term tourny of curveball. You can set up your own tournys for individual games if you'd like.

edit: it's full now...

[Alan92RTTT]

I snagged the last spot.

Looks like tourneys and the dark theme have some issues.

[DocWalt]

Tourney is working fine on light theme.

Prepare to be crushed with my wicked curveball ;)

[pezcore]

I reclaimed my spot in penguin bash, ya jerk :p

[mb7050]

curveball oh my head hurts been playing that too long now

[DocWalt]

Ok, you're an ass, lol.

edit: bring it, mb!

[mb7050]

OOoooooooooooh shit. now my mouse is broken thanks to you !

Im back its over midnight and I´m still playing this stupid game wtf. lol

yeah your the man . neeed to sleep look at high score board.i played my ass off.

[Zaroth]

I keep dieing on level 6 on Curveball. I'm about to surrender to you guys. I want to reach through the screen and slap that other paddle.

[DocWalt]

I get to level 8 and get maybe one kill on the other paddle. So frustrating, lol.

[Mitoska]

I got a PERFECT game in Hexagon, won in 6 moves.. unbeatable, but maybe somebody will tie me. I'm in the curveball tourney.. kind of hard since I don't have a mouse!

[Zaroth]

You're a braver man than me Twisted. After 20 minutes of Space invaders I suicided. How you managed to want to play another 15 minutes is beyond me lol.

[Atrosity]

Need moar games. Moar!

[DocWalt]

Apparently, the world record on Curveball is up in the mid-high 40 thousands. What the fuck?

[Zaroth]

Uh oh. Doc is considering going pro.

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

After I figured out how to keep going infinitely I just started watching TV while playing. Once I hit 100k I decided to watch TV only and not look at the game, took me a while to die lol.

[stealthee]

The arcade is going to end up getting used to drinking games at 3s meets.

[DocWalt]

3SPA arcade drink-off? Well, at least I'm moderately skilled at most of the games there, lol.

[stealthee]

I think computer mouses are going to go flying once people are drunk enough and playing curveball.

I got 17,130 on my second try. I need to keep playing and take over that lead. ;)

[i3igpete]

the other day i spent 3 hours trying to match pez's score on penguin bashing

what is the difference between penguin bashing and yeti sports?

[pezcore]

single score versus total of 5 scores. Same game/physics.

[19Eclipse90]

Damn you assholes.

Every time I leave the arcade you guys take over one of my top scores... :(

[19Eclipse90]

Score keeper for Breakout is picky on when it wants to work. After 30+ minutes of playing, I beat the high score and it gave me "0".

[atarirx]

The arcade is great. I saw Spy Hunter and had to play. I have the original arcade cabinet in my basement! My next goal is to become Tetris champ but I was about 60,000 points short on my last try. :P

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

Score keeper for Breakout is picky on when it wants to work. After 30+ minutes of playing, I beat the high score and it gave me "0".

Well that works for me! :p

Edit: Since you were threatening my high score, I changed your goals. :D

[mb7050]

i paypal 15 $ to whoever beats docwalts curveball highscore (30465).

[stealthee]

I've been trying. Level 8 SUCKS.

[DocWalt]

LOL. It's beatable. I could beat it if I felt like it :p

[mb7050]

I dont know how you do it but I cant :)

[DocWalt]

I end up getting really frustrated on like level 4 or 5 when I lose a life, so I restart, so there's not loads of scores from me on the list, lol.

[mb7050]

you see i dont :D

I usually lose my first life at level 8 and then its straight downhill from there

[DocWalt]

My high score I made it to level 8 with full lives, and got one or two "kills" I'm not going to tell how I rack up points so easily, lol.

[19Eclipse90]

Well that works for me! :p

Edit: Since you were threatening my high score, I changed your goals. :D

I'll probably leave that one alone.

For now.....

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

Pezcore has been dethroned, it was a good run. ;)

[pezcore]

OK, 8 seconds on Penguin bash is insane. That means you got the highest score AND clicked submit while the sign was falling :mad:


I did get that fastest time on the lowest score though. Beat 3 seconds, Twizted :p

[Atrosity]

Penguin bash is at the capped highest score already. I google'd it.

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

lol I wondered if anyone would notice that. :D

I don't think I was in any hurry to click the sign though, you sure that counts toward the time? If so, there should be a second or two more available.

[pezcore]

^clicking the sign on the way down is how I beat your lowest time on the -563 score. :D





Penguin bash is at the capped highest score already. I google'd it.

Yeah I know, that's why we're talking about times.

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

What's that all about?

[DocWalt]

It cycles so people have a chance to "beat" you. Even though you can hold the all time high score. It keeps you playing :p

[19Eclipse90]

I was wondering the same thing, good to know!

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

Weak. I like my scrolling scores. They'll all be gone in a few days, lame.

[Atrosity]

C'mon people! You know you guys would like this check out my suggestion! :D

http://www.3sgto.org/showthread.php?641-Super-Mario-Brothers-for-Arcade

[TT4ME]

I'm not a gamer.. but I have some kind of love for Tetris. GL all!

[19Eclipse90]

Some kind of love? You made that game your bitch!

I'm pretty certain that score will last a long long long time as the best of all time. I sure as hell can't beat it!

[DocWalt]

Haha Hexxagon :D

[Atrosity]

Someone took my simon championship from me! AGH

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

I'm not a gamer.. but I have some kind of love for Tetris. GL all!

Give up your secret. I made it to level 9 and played twice as long as you did, and only got half the score.

[DocWalt]

Are you building levels up, Twizted, or just taking new lines whenever you get them?

[Atrosity]

Give up your secret. I made it to level 9 and played twice as long as you did, and only got half the score.

It's called don't rely on the single straight blocks to come down because it never will!!

[nogreatloss]

I was wondering how i was suddenly the frogger champion when i logged in this morning. I agree its kindve lame we will lose the "champion" tag...

[DocWalt]

Keep playing then, haha.

[CoreyB]

You guys are funny

[TT4ME]

I start on levels 7-10. Whichever feels good at the moment I guess. I then build it up until a long flat comes or I gotta take it down a couple with an L piece. 4x lines is where it's at. I tell you my secrets.. I don't think you will be able to beat me! :p

I'm still pissed you can't reverse spin the blocks like you can with the original nintendo tetris. I've been in the high 20's (level) there.

I also have PIP on my TV. I play tetris and mario in the corner while watching TV!

[mb7050]

well damn look who is the new curveball champion, it was easy

[DocWalt]

I told you, you gotta keep playing, lol. I was playing during lunch at work, holy crap, that computer was slow, took forever to load.

I'm the new Mahjong champion though... :p This version of it sucks, impossible to see the damn symbols.

[mb7050]

aww shit i just raised the bar had a good game

I still not get it made top scores at level 8 got two kills at that level. a game before that I made it to level 9 and got 3 kills there got much less scores

You're right, I don't think I will be able to beat you even with your secrets lol.

[DocWalt]

Yeah, there's a few tricks to pumping out big scores easily, I'm not going to tell how though, lol.

edit: for Curveball.

[TT4ME]

Uhoh, I see there is a new Tetris Champion.

lol

Did you miss the previous conversation about how it resets every week? There is an overall points leader, but a new "champion" is made every week.

Yeah, it's weaksauce. Wonder if we could get that changed. At any rate, all you have to do is what I did with Penguin Bashing :suspect: (wish there was a suspect smiley)

[TT4ME]

Kagato, you put up a good score.

However, I still have more in my bag-o-tricks! I'm back on top! :p

[Kagato]

Doh! Don't know if I've got it in me to do any better. Dunno what it is about this version, but it makes me feel stupid - I always used to be a Tetris ace but damn if it just doesn't rip me a new one sometimes :cool:

[TT4ME]

In my 20 years of tetris playing, I have never been beaten. Consider that a compliment to you! You had me for a couple hours. :D

I also don't like this version.. but it works ?!?

[Kagato]

Yeah, think the thing that drives me nuts about this version of Tetris is that I've never played one before where you could get the same piece 6 freaking times in a row :mad:

[19Eclipse90]

Surely you Tetris buffs have seen this:
http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/aleen634/the-tetris-god-college-humor-video/30-35339/

I honestly thought I had some skills in the game, but you two have certainly shown me otherwise.

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

I just played Breakout for wayyyy wayyy too long. I think I missed my calling as a juggler.

[TT4ME]

nice..

i think we should be able to like posts over here. It would save me this post :D

[stealthee]

I dethroned mb, for how long is yet to be seen.

[DocWalt]

Until I play another game. Getting scores like that has gotten easy :D

[stealthee]

Sonofa, some already beat me. :p

[Atrosity]

Sonofa, some already beat me. :p

Haha that is how I feel then I see twisted with his scrolling championships, that sob! hahahaha :p

[TT4ME]

I finally had a decent game of Tetris. I actually started to get a bit bored near the end.. :D

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

I finally had a decent game of Tetris. I actually started to get a bit bored near the end.. :D

Look at you copying my unattainable high score line in the comments :p

[TT4ME]

lol, I had to search to see what you're talking about. That was pure coincidence!

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

lol, I had to search to see what you're talking about. That was pure coincidence!

hahaha no kidding, that's funny.

[Kagato]

Bah, here I spend a week and finally break the 100k point barrier and TT4ME has blown well past the 200k range :thumbdown: I forsee a lot more time at Tetris for me over the coming weekend :p

[DocWalt]

You guys are way too friggin good at Tetris, geez.

[TT4ME]

I'm just as good at Dr. Mario. Too bad they don't have that on here.

I think we need to get 2 player Tetris. We could have crazy battles/tourneys!

[Atrosity]

Oh god! Dr Mario! The memories hahaha!

[DocWalt]

I want two player curveball, lmao.

[stealthee]

I've been saying that since I started playing. Haha

[SilverJester]

I don't get any work done now....I've spent 90% of my time here at work playing on the arcade

[Alan92RTTT]

Glad to see you guys are having fun with this.

[stealthee]

I'm totally addicted to curveball. Once I get into my office at work thats all I am going to do on my lunch breaks. :lol:

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

Glad to see you guys are having fun with this.

The only thing I don't like is the scores disappearing. Makes it all seem so pointless (I realize video games are, in fact, pointless). Any way you can change that? It's killing my will to play anything.

[stealthee]

I like it. Its like you constantly have to defend your championship. Changing it would be like the Patriots winning one game and declaring themselves the champions of all time because they didnt have to play again.

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

I like it. Its like you constantly have to defend your championship. Changing it would be like the Patriots winning one game and declaring themselves the champions of all time because they didnt have to play again.

I'm fine with the champion score disappearing, that's what the "high score of all time" is there for. But any score you make gets deleted after a week. I think anything below the champion score should stay.

[stealthee]

You can look at peoples stats, and it will show their high score in each game still. Thats the only one that matters.

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

In that case, why even have a scoreboard for those that didn't make the high score then? Know what I mean? Just seems pointless if it's going to disappear after a week.

[DocWalt]

I'd say an additional high scores of all time list would be best. Keep what's there but add the all time list. Please.

[TT4ME]

Yea, an all time... or at least keeping personal bests on each players' page.

Are any of these suggestions even possible?

edit: I just made a tourney. There wasn't an option for days before d/q. 7 days is pretty long.....

[stealthee]

It keeps the challenge alive. It means there can be a new champion every week.

[TT4ME]

Sorry man, had to!!

I swear a few of the "All Time High Scores" are not legit in the slightest...

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

I swear a few of the "All Time High Scores" are not legit in the slightest...


All mine are legit. Good luck! :)

All of mine are legit, and some of them are just insanely good players, lol.

Hax. :suspect:

[DocWalt]

Those of you claiming people are cheating are funny.

[stealthee]

Haha I know.

I see you took one of my top scores away again. I think you cheated. :p

[DocWalt]

Haha. Suck it Brian.

[TT4ME]

Made a couple tourneys.

Join up!

Eskiv with only 2 tries should be fun.

[DocWalt]

Sweet :D Beat the all time Curveball score while playing distracted tonight. Made a ton of points on level 8 while my dad was yakking about how shitty the brakes on his MkI Fiesta were.

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

Arkanoid.

Mine forever.

[DocWalt]

meh. arkanoid is boring :p

[TT4ME]

I didn't know what arkanoid was until 5 mins ago.

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

I didn't know what arkanoid was until 5 mins ago.

Now you know what it is, AND that it's mine forever. :p
