I have been MAMEd. (I am so fucking witty)
I've spent most of the day playing with MAME. Why? Fuck if I know. Oh yeah, I remember, I wanted to play JoJo's Bizzare Adventure. Well, MAME doesn't do that. At least not yet. (When it does, I'm prepared... if I remember to check for updates.) But anyway, so after that screwed up I spent the rest of the day playing with MAME and random games... fighters, mostly... and I learned my otherwise fucking awesome 20 dollar gamepad sucks BALLS at fighters. BALLS. It is fucking impossible to do the uppercut motion, and the hadouken motion is pretty tough, too. So I thought "Well, maybe they have a decently priced arcade stick online. Surely lots of people use MAME, right?" and I was totally wrong. There's a pretty nice one that has places for players one and two but it's like 125 fucking dollars. Balls. BALLS, I SAY!
The good news is, though, that it can play Beatmania. BEATMANI, BAYBEE! All I have to do is wait for this godawfulslow torrent to finish torrenting. GOD AWFUL SLOW! And then Beatmani. Hawt.
Other MAME-related things I have learned: I should stick with Puzzle League because I suck at Bust-A-Move. I also suck at Spy Hunter. Windjammer was a random game I remembered in a NeoGeo machine back in the day, and it's pretty damn cool, for only using a Joystick and a button. Mai is only really useful when I can use her uppercut explosion-keepaway-thing. I don't think the classic X-Men arcade game emulated has the classic "X, Eh-Eh-Eh-Eh-Eh- X-men... X, X, X!"
The end.
