¯\(º_o)/¯ I think this forum needs more...

[Dylflon]

My main goal in starting this thread wasn't so much to brainstorm getting new members despite me mentioning it in the first post.

Surprisingly, it was actually more to get ideas like Xantar just posted. Let's get some ideas out here for fun things we can have/do.

Let's get some games up and running.

I'm considering making another GT survival story but this time, the premise would be one of my own.

Would anyone be interested in that?

Funny you should mention gambling. I installed a casino hack a while back but never made it live because I thought people would find it too confusing. We do have vBookie which gives us a convenient way of placing bets, but only one or two persons have taken advantage of that since its inception.

We've setup regular activities in the past but people never stick with them. They invariably become bored or get caught up in real-life activities. It's hard to generate interest around a gaming clan since most of us are nintendo fans and nintendo online isn't exactly xbox live.

I could write more stories but that's not going to attract anyone. I can't picture a new user hanging around just so he/she can read the next exciting installment of "GameTavern 24." We had blogs for awhile but they weren't active enough to justify keeping.

I like the idea of regular wagers. Maybe if a few of us get it started then it will catch on with others. Top 10 lists might be fun too. I used to post regular silly polls for the front page but that kinda dropped off.

I still move for more arcade games.

It may not attract members, but they'll be fun for us.

I pine for pinball.

Ask and ye shall receive. I just checked and it looks like v3arcade has been revived as there is a new version out for vB 3.5. There should be additional games out now as well. I'll take a look if I ever figure out how to get registered.

[Neo]

Those of you who want arcade games do me a favor and track them down for me. You're looking for free games for v3arcade for vB 3.0.*. They should be zip files containing a php file and a couple images.

Btw, we are aware of the problem with the quick reply function.

Dunno how they are.

[Neo]

I'll install them soon as I get back to Austin.

Found the motherload: http://www.internetjunkie.org/forumdisplay.php?f=61

850 games. I wish there were some descriptions for them. All I know is we need a ninja turtle one.

Well I haven't played them yet but they look rather horrible. They're in the arcade now.

[Bond]

Those games are simply awful.

[Dylflon]

Truly terrible.

[GameMaster]

Terrifyingly traumatic.

[Teuthida]

Wow, those were remarkably bad. Sorry about that. How about that link with the 800+ games? Surely at least one of those must be halfway decent.

[Dyne]

Nothing is as bad as Super Dance, though. NOTHING beats it's total disregard for rhythm, its horrible excuse arrow detection, or its awful graphics.

[Swan]

I feel violated.


I agree with Dyne though. No rhythm. Just random arrows.
