  1. Are you still looking for someone to play against in Anchorage?

  2. Has anyone found some good 1920x1080 Revelator wallpapers?
  3. I own all of the CDs, but I have to rip them again. I might be able to upload them somewhere later.

    Not yet, have to set up some stuff to get the PS2 games out again. Got pictures of my stick, it's this one: http://imgur.com/9s3ikPB,uq3rYxP http://imgur.com/9s3ikPB,uq3rYxP#1

    The "Help Using a Joystick" Thread

    I don't know what modern stick I would want now, having gotten a PS3 after its successor has come out. PS2 is useful because I have adapters for my PC, Xbox 360, and PS3., It depends how much the stick costs, because I'd want to be able to use it on as many things as possible, and anything more than $100 would be hard to justify to the wife, especially with the decreased playtime I have had for games in the past 2 years. Guilty Gear is the only fighting game I have ever really gotten into in depth since the PS1. The problem is my price limit and the location I am in, Alaska, means I can't get a good supply of things to try, and custom builders aren't around. Shipping on something the size and fragility of a stick to Alaska is absurd.

    Arcade Stick vs Controller

    I've never not had the jump input problem. I've been trying to overcome it for at least ten years. I'd say it's not a "long adjustment time" problem, but that I cannot do it properly with my left hand. I'm not making a custom box myself because I can't solder (again something I have tried for 10+ years, and I always burn the circuit board or put solder where I don't want it), and I can't find anyone in Alaska to do it, so shipping a custom rig and keeping it from breaking during shipping is an absurd shipping cost. I can't justify more than about $100 for a controller, and even that much may make the wife mad.

    That Pelican stick is all I've ever been able to find in a retail shop in my state for a console I have owned. Custom builds are out with shipping cost and the sheer variety of parts that I have no idea how I'd feel using. It was $40 when I got it at GameStop.

    Arcade Stick vs Controller

    They are, but that's what I've had for a PC, short of the old 2-button joysticks in the 80s and 90s for PC and Apple ][ series computers. Flying games like Descent, or shmups, are about all I use a Saitek for on PC, otherwise I'm using a PS2 DualShock2 with an adapter. I have a Pelican PS2 stick too, but it's left-handed and I can't use it well. It was the only arcade stick I've ever seen in an Alaskan store, and it ran me about $40 10 years ago. I'm not really willing to spend $200+ including shipping to get a stick to Alaska for a custom build, just to have something else to learn on, especially when I don't know what I like out of a stick short of it being in the right hand. That's a steep price for an experiment. Playing with crossed arms doesn't give me a long time to work with though. I can stand it for about 10 minutes.

    Arcade Stick vs Controller

    The learning curve isn't "slight" to me. I've been trying for a decade now and still can't do a reliable 236 motion without a jump. At least, not with me left hand. If I didn't have to get a custom build to have a stick in my right hand, I'd have a much easier time, as I don't even have to practice to do inputs I want with my right. Why do arcades and consoles have the stick on the left, while PCs have the stick on the right (like Saitek sticks and old Apple ][ joysticks)? The only common access I had to sticks growing up was on a PC.

    The only stick I was ever able to find and get in Alaska without extremely high shipping was a Pelican PS2 stick with 8 buttons and turbo. I've had it probably 10 years now and I have never been able to do QCF motions without jumping (same problem with analog sticks on PS2 and Xbox and Xbox Dpad), unless the stick was in my right hand, which makes it very uncomfortable to play. I've been just using a PS2 controller for the Dpad and dealing with the blister and callous cycle on my left thumb if I've wante dot play games with this sort of input. Apparently a stick on the right can be custom built, but getting it to Alaska at an affordable price is the problem, as well as having it compatible with consoles I would use long enough. I've got PS2 adapters for my PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 to go in the USB ports, but I only obtained a PS3 or 360 this year, and have been on PS2 until then. Every PC joystick I've ever used, like the ones on the Apple ][ when I was growing up, and the Saitek X45 I have had for 8 years, has had the stick in the right hand and the buttons or rudder on the left. I found one local arcade with two identical game cabinets for a shmup, except one had the stick on the right and one on the left, and I could clear 3-4 stages on one credit on the stick in my right hand, but couldn't clear the first stage on one credit with the stick in my left. Any advice on what I could do? 10 years of having a stick I can't use, and being frustrated with my controller has been very discouraging.
  12. We need to know what all the bonuses do in AC+ Survival. Stats are generally self-explanatory, but things like Hunter Saver aren't.

    Arcana Heart

    I'm still trying to pick an arcana and character. I haven't memorized any full command list for any of them yet. Maori looks like someone I could get used to playing. It just seems I have torupe gettng 623 and super inputs to register much of the time I'm attempting them. I'm also working on a DualShock2, and I've got an old Pelican arcade stick that I've never got the hang of using (236 inputs always cause me to jump and are usualy incomplete, unless the stick is in my right hand, like PC joysticks are placed).

    Arcana Heart

    Well, I'm not having an easy time picking it up. It doesn't seem to recognize my inputs as well as GG does, and the homing button is something I haven't got the feel for. Then again, I've maybe put 2 hours of playtime in so far, and only one of my friends has bothered to even try the game.
  15. I rip the voice files to MP3 now and then through plugging my PS2's audio right into the line-in on my handheld MP3 recorder, but it takes time, and it only holds 128 MB at a time. It also shuts off from overheating after about 20 minutes of use. I generally only do one set (A, B, or C) for one character at a time, depending on what seems to be requested.
