DANK ART
It looked as if it was going to be one of those weird MAME Roulette streams of LordBBH’s where nothing decent comes up and a bunch of torture games are played instead. As fun as it is to see BBH play the torture games, I prefer seeing BBH get a few good games and occasionally a gem will make an appearance. BBH got a few duds, but he was able to bring his own special brand of acceptance to each game to keep the night entertaining and I drew a bunch of BBH Sheep Dank Arts to add to the fun.
If you grew up in North America, the chances that you’ve seen any of the Quiz-style arcade machines is probably low, but Quiz arcade machines were a huge deal in Asia and if you look into the depths of MAME there are LOTS of them all waiting to be explored and played (if you can read Japanese). I think to suffer thru them BBH will cheat and set things in MAME to get thru the game so that people can still see what the quiz games are all about.
It might be fun to make a quiz style BBH game but with arcade related questions and a bunch of the icons and inside jokes we have during the streams- I might be down for a cool project like that in the future if someone is a better programer then me!
Macaw finally got through his TMNT Gauntlet with the final GBA game which took well over several hours to run through and (surprise) it was one of the worst games in the entire Gauntlet run and this is including the “Colour a Turtle” game. It’s not that it was a bad game, but it was rather subpar to even the NES games which were actually fun. Suffering thru it, he finished the game and then returned to playing thru weird Japanese Beat’emUp’s the following day. Probably my favourite Dank Art from these three is the Predator one because it has the little determined Birb with the hockey mask and stick ready to go hunt with his embarrassed Predator pal.
LOUSY SMARCH WEATHER
The building is also haunted cause they had jails in the basement (perfect for dealing with todays politicians) and they used to hang people in the court yard right up to the 60’s. It’s kind of grim to know that when my mom was going to high school they were still hanging people in my future backyard. It’s really creepy when you think about it too much which I don’t because believing in ghosts is stupid.
However, there are people who do believe in ghosts and who get scared stupid when you tell them places are haunted so I would often take dates to this park and tell them about the hangings and ghosts to see how scared they would get. If they got scared I knew I couldn’t date them. If they told me they weren’t scared but then would go on about not being scared or asking about ghosts I would then challenge them to go look at why the lights were working in the abandoned Jailer’s house which only recently was demolished. I’ll just say no man or boy has ever broken into the jailers house with me but one girl did back in the day and we used to get into all sorts of trouble like that when we were teenagers.
However, now that the weather is getting better I’ll try to get out more with my camera and tour you around my little/not so little home town and show off some of the nicer places and their stories.
