Did you notice the VS level time increase on TGM?
So that outfit has a reputation of being slow to ship? Just curious, as the half dozen Sanwa's have yet to get here. We need two of them for the Blazblue as well, and may have to put that out with generic sticks until the Sanwa's get here. Crap!
ITG keeps jumping program back to factory settings, which also turns the timer back 0n. We need to figure out if you all want that IT cabinet upgraded to the hack ITG3? I am cautious with that idea!

Well, I have had a few problems with Akiba Shop in ordering from them when something that should have arrived within a week took about 2 weeks to arrive. That being said, they are probably the best site to go to for Japanese arcade parts so I would not hesitate to order from them. That sucks about Blazblue though; hopefully they arrive soon!
Also, thanks so much for increasing the level on TGM! I assume this means the game in doing better? With the nonstop play I have witnessed in the recent weeks, I would be very surprised if it wasn't.

Do it! I know I would play more on that cabinet if it had some new material. I've seen other cabinets with the hack installed and they look wonderful. Being able to compete with others on more songs would be great.

ITG 3 is looking like a good possibility.
Thanks for the infor on that supplier, Kevin. hopefully the sticks will show up soon.
TGM3 is doing a bit better with each passing week.

Kevin FYI,
You will be happy to hear that the sticks showed up today. But could be a couple days until they get installed, but at least they are here.

Haha, I think we are all excited. When I went on Friday, kapat, tada, and Matsuura were all complaining about the current sticks not working. Maybe Acme will be a place to set world records now...

If you can get to Seattle, there is a chance I can pick you up and take you to Acme. Granted, it would be a fairly short (2 hourish) visit but this is a possibility if you ever need a ride to Acme.

nah i don't NEED a ride so to speak, it's just the most incovenient arcade for me to get to.
either drive 65.4 miles and pay bridge toll, or take the ferry and drive like 20 miles. lose lose. except for the win of acme.

Bill, any chance we could be seeing this game in the future?

Seems like it would be a sweet game to get later on.

Never say never to that one. But honestly, I'm not sure yet if this game is any good. We will see how testing goes. Lot's of new music type games coming out next year. We need to figure out if any of them are going to be worthwhile.
BTW, what is the community's initial thoughts on the GH arcade machine?

(if GH = Guitar Hero) From what I've heard of the Guitar Hero arcade attempts, I didn't see stuff that makes the arcade version special.
DDR and the other Bemani all have been successful from Arcade -> home because the home features different stuff, while still missing parts from the Arcade. That makes both entertaining. Putting the same game we have at home in an arcade doesn't do anything for me. It would feel like I'm at a gamestop playing the game at one of their in-store kiosks.

Agree with the comment about a GH arcade machine - would much rather see the money put toward upgrading GF/DM to one of the newer V series mixes.

This is how I feel. The thing about existing Japanese music games is that they offer an experience in the arcade that cannot be replicated at home (without a lot of money)
Now a GH game would attract the casual, one-time gamer a lot more while existing music games tend to attract a more dedicated niche crowd who will continue to put money into the game over an extended period of time.. the question is would casual interest in GH be enough to allow it to make money for as long as some of these older music games have?

I second that request.
In other news, I went to Acme on Tuesday to try and play some ITG for once without having ridiculous amounts of background noise. No matter when I go or what I try, it seems that SOMEONE crawls out of a hole in the wall and starts that damn air hockey game. Every time, it never fails. It's actually a running joke around my friends and I that whenever we play, that machine will inevitably be used within 5 minutes. And so far our theory has not been disproved.
Seriously, can we either move ITG to the back (this would probably be what the Acme staff desires, seeing how they dislike how "loud" it is. Or can you move the hockey table away from the three dance games? It's super distracting and makes playing for accuracy really difficult for an audio player like myself.
On another note, I kept getting pad misses on the 1P Down arrow. Not just me, but my two buddies also. It didn't happen too frequently, but I was getting it about once every other song.
End Report.

Are you sure that being near air hockey is worse than being near Pop 'n Music, as far as noise is concerned? (This is not a complaint about PnM, but it's in the back of the room.)

The majority of the time I can get down to Acme is on the weekends and at almost ANY point on Saturday or Sunday all three dance machines are in constant use along with the air hockey table. I think that if the three dance games could be equally distributed in the room it would help a LOT to reduce the sound pollution. I don't care where the air hockey, ITG, or DDR machines are. I just think it's funny that they're all crammed together in the front, which creates an audible clusterf*ck when they're all in use.
I realize they're up front because they're the "hot attractions", but I'm just voicing my observations as a regular player and offering some advice that
may
(or may not) alleviate the problem.

Good news, new Sanwa sticks on Tetris
Bad news, gues where the Acme administration offices are located? Yup, on the other side of the back arcade wall. And whatever makes noise back there penetratrates that wall pretty well. Hence why no dance games are on the back wall or in that area. Also why Pop N got moved to that other wall. :-(

It's been a while since I've been there; usually every Saturday night I'm there, but work has occupied most of my time (same with school work).

Wow, lots of people were there on Thursday night playing the new Blue Blaze fighter. I remember reading about that game months ago, but I knew right when I saw it that it was created by the guys who did Guilty Gear. The art style is so similar, but way more fluid and beautiful in Blue Blaze. It was too crowded for me to try playing, but I'll definitely give it a go sometime later.

I went there a week or two ago... Playing BlazBlue was pretty cool, Max2 was in ok condition, ITG2 was ok, and SN2 was fine--though it was cool to see a Pop'n Music...
Decent arcade may visit again.
