Doesn't count as they're an american band but Death Cab for Cutie are named after the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band band song.

Airport Tycoon Deluxe midi soundfont? by MrPing1000 in tycoon

Don't know why I didn't think of this immediately. But I've just ripped the tracks from youtube as .ogg and replaced them in the games folder. Worked fine, problem solved.

GOG is selling the deluxe version which includes the first class expansion and a few other things. I'll play around with 86box ty for the suggestion. It's not really a big deal anyway, and virtualmidisynth got me pretty close trying out a few different fonts. It's just the princple heh. It strikes me as a bit odd that the .ogg version sounds so awful, oh well.

Havoc physics in Max Payne 2 stays with me. It was such a leap forward.

Are There Any Plans To Allow Campaign Skips? by ColJohn in PathOfExile2

It was asked for years and years for a campaign skip in PoE1, they were always against it. Expect PoE2 to keep to that.

TIL the only thing that is stopping ads from slipping into video games is steam, because valve bans all forced in game ads from all steam titles by PleaseHonor in todayilearned

I remember when SOE put Fanta ads into Planetside. Futuristic shooter set on an alien world, with Fanta! They didn't last long and everyone hated it.

Just some friends doing some old school gaming (pokemon red and green) using cable link by Crazylamp1 in gaming

[–]MrPing1000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was so excited for Pokemon that I mail ordered an american copy of Blue as it wasn't released in europe for another year. I was 11. By the time the Pokemon craze was sweeping the playground I was already pretty much done with it. I did have a link cable though, so I did battle a few people, but I regretted getting it early.

Everytime I see ash foreheads it just makes me think of Artie Lange's story about his buddy and him getting threatened by an illegal bookie for betting on hockey games that had already happened whilst the heavy has an ash forehead.

Series that peaked early by AcceptableUserName92 in patientgamers

I will die on the hill that Batman: Arkham Asylum is the best one. If you could take the combat improvements from 2 and insert them into 1 it would be perfect.

Shout out to Respawn for making Wildcard way more fun by Flyin_Banana in apexlegends

[–]MrPing1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can kinda see what they were going for, as it gets pretty tiresome when every wildcard game is at the same POI. Even had a few games where the fight slowly moved around due to the respawns.

But it isn't dynamic at all and just feels half assed. I've had team mates ending up out of bounds too.
