I always find it funny when I see the games you guys play together. It's always, "Okay. I play none of these games."

You guys should pass the sticks on one player games more. I remember a birthday part when I was like 8 and we spent all night passing sticks to beat Mega Man 3. And we all got to be happy when we won.

"Passing sticks" on Mega Man 3? Did you use the NES Advantage?

Do you want to play NBA2K with me Musket?

Or Escape from Tarkov?

I only have a dial up modem for my Dreamcast and I don't think dial up is possible anymore. But a lot of crazy servers exist, so I dunno.

somehow I don't believe that you're on dial-up, but more power to you if you are.

The dreamcast didn't have a broadband cable port is what I'm saying. I would have to hunt for one. Here's a crazy fact I'm not entirely certain about, but I think a worms armageddon Dreamcast community may still exist. For the sole reason I think no server is involved, you can connect to people directly. But I could be remembering this completely wrong. The Dreamcast still has shit going on though, it's wild.

Dreamcast is an old system, it itself might not even have broadband or wifi capabilities.

It was the first console to have broadband capability actually.

It's a shame that the Dreamcast died the way it did because it pushed the industry forward quite a bit.

I had a friend back in like 2015 who was still playing with his Dreamcast, I believe it.

Great system that was just too ahead of its time.

I feel like Sega always tried to be so experimental with gaming it killed them, and now it's a bit rougher to put out certain kinds of games, at least for a time. Seems to be getting easier now. 

Sega Channel was so far ahead of its time and it exposed me to so many Sega originals I would have never noticed. And when a twelve year old kid goes out renting games he isn't looking at Dynamite Headdy, Two Crude Dudes sounds fucking awesome.

I never had a Dreamcast, I was a PS2 kid in that era, but in retrospect I think what killed Dreamcast was how early it came out in regards to PS2 and Xbox, and also its library was lacking. 

The Dreamcast library is among the most amazing of any system and this can be legitimately disputable. In connection with RPGs, how many currently have an active combat system? As pioneered by Shenmue, and improved in Shenmue 2? 

I think another big fault of Sega is that they loved B movie humor and it just isn't popular. But Zombie's Revenge is uch a great game. And Confidential Mission. And Die Hard Arcade was silly as hell.

OH! And the had this arcade game called Gunblade I learned to wreck on one dollar. 50 cents per gun, one hit enemies and the other missiles when it had to. It had two giant machine guns with good force feedback and it felt like you were holding two giant machine guns on the side of a helicopter.

Soul Calibur is one of my favorite franchises and it got its start on Dreamcast.

To be fair, though, my first Soul Calibur game was SC2 on PS2. 

Wrecking SC2 on an arcade machine the first time I played it (with Xianghua, so hold your nose) felt really good. This was before I learned the lord of 15 second battles that is Taki.

Yeah, I tended to main Taki and Mitsurugi on SC2 but I was like 13 or 14 when I played that.

Picked up SC6 recently, it's pretty good. Now that I'm slightly better than a button mashing teen I've learned how devastating Nightmare can be if you use him right, but I tend to prefer the quicker characters in fighting games. Never did get good at Street Fighter, though. I was always more of a Tekken fan.

I've never heard that phrase before in my life. I'd have to assume it started with Atari 2600 players.

After thinking about this a bit I think it probably started in arcades. You lose and there's a line, you give up the stick in many cases. I miss arcades, I'd still go to them if they carried actual games and they weren't all sir prize a lot locations.
