It's pretty damn good. The concept is well-executed top-to-bottom.

I played SimTower a ton on my Mac back in the day. Absolutely loved the style and aesthetic of that game.
Had I known or came across any news of a sequel, I promise you this ad would have worked wonders on me, and I'd have been bragging to friends about how better Mac was in no time flat.

I'm watching West Coast Pro Wrestling right now (they're here in LA live), and it's a pretty good time.

A fine collection, which I can tell from experience is from a person who was purchasing these for play at their original release.
It is pure Dreamcast.

The Midnight Club series was so good.

Yup, on the PCB that you fashioned. The way you labeled everything, and cleanly wired it all up made it a snap. Basically a two second solder job.

All-in-all, I'd recommend it if you're looking for a modern replacement of the original Neo Geo arcade stick, or don't have something with the classic MVS stick layout.
So many games take this button layout into account, and it makes playing them much more enjoyable.

This stick also didn't have pin 9 (OUT3) of the DB15 tied to D, which caused a detection issue on soft reset for my NGCD console, giving me multiplexed inputs for a mahjong pad or 4 way adapter.
The wiring is well done and clean inside, so it was an easy fix. Might not be an concern for everyone.

The Seimitsu LS-56 comes with a square gate, which isn't great to me when it comes to the sometimes demanding precision of these older fighting games, but they do make an octagonal restrictor gate, and it was easy to install in the LS-4, which is very accessible, while still keeping that clean look.

The button / stick layout and placement feels really solid. It's easy to fit in your lap, the weight is nice, and if you want it on a table, the feet held it in place, so it's great in both situations.
In general, I also like the acoustics of it.

Much respect to you man. I appreciate you using your platform, media literacy, and voice to say what needs to be said.

I respect it, but that post about the white house social media guy was rather middle of the road.
Personally, I think framing any human as "The Flood" is exceptionally vile and unforgivable. I would have tried to make that position clear to the fellow, if given the chance.

Indeed. Playing both sides is really just a shield he can use as a defense to criticism later. "It's your fault you don't get it" or "We can't joke about anything anymore."
It's just naked capitalism. Nothing funny about it.

Yahtzee's review of Nine Sols is what got me interested in looking into it more and picking it up.
It's definitely one of the best games of its release year, if not the best. Certainly still a game that sits top of my mind as one of the best things to come out these past few years, easily.

Being provocative to get your eyes on the ad is the clear intent, but as to whether it is playing to the amount of stabbings in London or the pervasive (perhaps unwarranted) fear of being stabbed, is yet unclear.
It can go either way, and that makes it "successful".

I usually avoid Xbox stuff on PC for this reason, but I do have one instance recently where a similar thing happened on an Xbone.
I was trying to play local co-op in the Perfect Dark remake, and it kept spitting a log-in error, because we didn't have Xbox Live Gold.
FOR LOCAL SPLIT-SCREEN CO-OP!

I'd recommend the "Time's End" albums by Theophany as well, which are remixes to Majora's Mask, and are incredibly moody.
The second album is actually officially licensed by Nintendo!

In a American English, "visage" does not have the same "a" sound as "mirage", so I was having a good time singing along, and found myself purposely mispronouncing "mirage" to keep the rhyme haha.

I think OutRun 2 looks and plays better than C2C as well. I much prefer the tuning, which they really adjusted around drafting for C2C.
Plus the bonus levels in 2 are fantastic, and the added levels that C2C brings aren't as good as those introduced in 2.

It's an accurate portrayal of me when I am pounding some Gin Gins. So damn good.
They have other ginger products for baking, etc., and it's all top tier. Highly recommend any of it.

Square clearly knows what's up. I've bought several of their modern music releases, physical and digital.
Nintendo could learn a thing or two from them.

The Sound Selection album that came with the BotW Collector's edition was one of the main reasons I got it.
This has all the music you'd want from the $40 vinyl set, plus, you can digitize it.
