The cake is a lie

Speak your mind, or lack thereof. There may occasionally be on-topic discussions.

I thought I was the only one that experienced this. Everyone I've mentioned this to looks at me funny.

And yes, Portal is as good as everyone says.

Just started playing Team Fortress 2. It's very very fun. I believe all the classes are good to play with.

Except the Pyros, I can't handle those.

I love using the Pyro but this may be one of the reasons I die constantly.

What could this possibly be?
Coin-ops have broadband over at Japan, or what?

I don't think so, but a lot of them do connect with other cabinets in the same arcade. I remember hearing about some arcade Counter-Strike game Namco released in Japan, but I didn't know they were releasing this. Look like a standard Deathmatch type of game, except with weird items (Snowmen?) and completely different models. Heck, it doesn't even look like a Half-Life game!

But, it does say INTAANETTO, which is moonspeak for "tubes".

Man, this may be even cooler than that golden seat at Hong Kong.

That's actually kind of old; I'd first heard of it in 2006, and even THEN I was being told it was old news.

Essentially, it's Half-Life 2, but extremely streamlined. And controlled by joysticks and pedals (IIRC). Most of the gripping plot was cut entirely, in favor of emphasizing the various skirmishes in the game (such as the airboat-helicopter showdown shortly before you reach Black Mesa East). I think there's a multiplayer deathmatch mode as well...

But yeah, that's what I remember about the game. Wikipedia has an article on the game, which is probably more accurate than whatever brain cells I devoted to this information.

I find the idea of the HL2 arcade hilarious, since the only interesting thing about HL2's combat was the gravity gun and that's not much for an arcade game.

The fact that the arcade game doesn't have the Gravity Gun at all makes it even more hilarious.

This is very very weird. I think the only thing that could be more weird would be an RPG coin-op.

No no! How about a Monkey Island coin-op? That could be fun.

Never pay more than $20 for it.
