It'd be great if I could pay my bills in arcade sticks I don't need.
"Sorry, but what kind of currency is that, sir ?"
On a more serious note, you could indeed auction them on whatever auction site for RL monies and/or do what TW said and sell the parts one by one. Filthy rich or desperate people are ready to pay huge prices for things if they happen to be useful to them and they lack patience.
Hath Exchange and Bounties are two examples when it comes to EH currencies.

Maybe, never really ever bother selling things I win or no longer need unless it's to friends. Got like 10+ sticks around my home or so, I could stand to sell a few. My modded ones and the Eightarc Ebony are staying with papa though. Not letting my old Marvel 2 or ST Sticks go for the life of me. Got some extra Madcatz & GG/BB sticks at the house. Also got an AH stick and a Melty Blood one. Somewhere lost to the bad packing gods is a VF stick and Skullgirls Filia fight stick.
I'll see what I can do in the ways of selling once I find the proper packaging procedures. Worked as a shipper before and I can't stand ass packaging for shit these days.
On other fronts, UFGT8 mystery tournament was awesome and the SFxT auction made that game hype for a bit. Grandaddy Valle had to buy that Ryu though, he couldn't live with himself if he let that auction go.
It would be cool if you could sell me one of those sticks, lol.
Real talk though, I've been a pad player all my life, but I do wanna try to get better with a stick. Especially when I see how much better I've seen people play MVC2 with it. But I kinda found out it's really a preference and you can just as good as a stick player if you play on pad.
Sure, some executions, option selecting, and plinking among other things would be so much more easier on stick, but whenever I feel like I have the time to ever get one, I would be all over it.
I still feel like a Fanatiq or Inthul, though. But now the main reason I wanna get a stick would be to play fighting games on 360 because it would be a cold day in hell the day I play ANY fighting game on that fucking console with it's retarded D-pad.
Haha, I play on Pad and Stick. I like pad for a lot of reasons except for maybe precision. Esp. since I only borrow PS3s most of the time and only own my 360. Pad is hella shortcut happy and inputs are made easier when you know what to do. I play a pad viper and fuerte for those reasons or pad in general when I want. Except for throw teching and p-linking and the piano method. 360 controller throws a fit if you try that half the time. lphp, lkmk, lkhk, lpmp, etc. Light + anything isn't too bad. Medium + Heavy or any three buttons at once and the pad says screw you sometimes. Even with the 1 button version the game will still do regular fierce and roundhouse or fail ultra inputs if the controller doesn't give a fuck at that moment. Pad MvC3 characters is godlike though if they have fly combos, puts those combos on easy mode and one button dashes are extremely effective these days.
360 pad is the most unreliable piece of crap in existence though. Using triggers + bumpers is already kinda slow enough in some cases due to the time it takes to press them in/Negative Edge issues. If you do 360 pad your movements may "slide" easier but it has no sense of accuracy or precision. PS3 pad is way more accurate even if uncomfortable for me from time to time. I assume anyone is trolling when they use the stick on 360 or PS3 controller. You can spin an ultra on that but not much else.
Wow. When I read this, I almost shat my pants in rage. I sincerely hope people aren't gonna let this shit get shoved up their asses, and don't buy games with any of that crap in it. If this system is gonna be put in practice, or worse, become the mainstream norm, I hope the entire video game industry fucking crashes.
As long as they keep making Madden games and First Person Shooters, it doesn't matter what bullshit they shove down our throats, the gaming industry will thrive thanks to frat boys and stupid people.
Remember Asura's Wrath? The full game with the dlc is here. The battle between Asura and Akuma is pretty cool. Except the outcome (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
Watched the Asura SF DLC as soon as it was released, it was pretty cool except for the amount of playtime you get it out of it. It is really short esp. if you you want to wreck Ryu and Akuma which isn't really all that hard. Though I admit the DLC was something done for the fans or created by the biggest fanboys Capcom could find in their development department. Ending was eh but it was cool to see for the most part.
A for effort, C+ for execution but it is really entertaining and cool to see. I can't say go out and buy it due to length but it is definitely worth a view. For fans of SF and Asura's Wrath it is something you'll honestly enjoy watching hands down.

Idiots, my idea is much better. In game advertising. Example: Coca-Cola funds certain amount of development costs to have Coke bottles in the game or have the main character drink a lot of Coke or some shit like that.
They do stuff like that in movies all the time. A good example is Back to the Future. Pepsi put a lot of money into it and you see Michael J. Fox drinking Pepsi.
Games can be made with bigger budgets, sold at lower prices and everybody is happy. It also wouldn't make gamers mad about having their game forcefully paused to look at an ad.

Yep, though they're already doing that here and there. I recently saw a really clear example of that:
And I'm perfectly fine with that. In fact, I even think it's good; using real life products in games sort of adds to the realism...

I'd agree with LoS seeing as advertisers already put products in games, if you play sports games in game advertising is fairly obvious. Seeing as gaming companies want to profit off advertisements I'd do more in game with the appropriate atmosphere. Though I think sports games are the only ones that lend to advertising really well.
I don't need Ryu drinking NOS in between rounds in SF or Yuri Lowell finding NGE & Trigun figurines in his spare time. Which may be slightly awesome in the second case or blatant shoe horning in another light. Seeing as I pay for live and the game advertisers can lay off. Not like anything I'm getting is free but I've never known Microsoft to leave money alone when they see half a chance to get some.
I magically re-emerge after getting my ass handed to me by a "Long Gui". Why don't any of those FAQs mention that it uses Doom? Seriously, how the hell are you supposed to kill it if you can't tank-it-out?
