Giant Bombathon 2021 [Part 2]

Arcade pit was super fun

First blood!

Liked this a lot, great format and production.

This was so good, and probably the first time I actually did not miss the less tangible synergy that comes with beeing in a room together and messing around with old games and such.

I'm lost, is there meant to be something between parts 1 and 2 of this?

@dijidiji: No, well, kinda. I think Jan was on break when it started or smth., so the beginning is a bit confusing. That's why they try to redo the introduction, but it gets a bit lost in the confusion. Just stick with it for a bit, everybody gets the hang of it.

I don’t like using Twitch at all, but I think I need to make an exception for Arcade Pit. This ruled.

Thanks for hosting this section I had never heard of ArcadePit or Smight and definitely gunna watch more of their stuff now this ruled

Great show! I feel so bad for Jeff since he moved into a house with Netzero-quality internet. Use that Klout to publicly shame that ISP!

I was so confused throughout this. I love the concept but I feel like I was dropped in to the middle of something. The main graphics were not clear what was going on.

What a show with lots of great moments!

@alistercat: It is part of the problem of having a somewhat complex gameshow, that's been running for years, and being thrust into absorbing it all at once. Smight/PA do try to explain some things here and there, but to keep the flow of the show going, it's rough to stop and explain every single thing about an event every time one pops up. Especially for episodes where it's less serious business and more about having a sorta 'fun board game' time.

Pretty sure there's a video in the works to help iron out some of the event descriptions, and I know the fan-made Arcade Pit Records sheet does have most the ins and outs of rules posted. It is however a little rough to interject that into gaps in between events, and so it can definitely feel like stepping into a game that other people have been playing for years, and have that sort of confusion as to how it all meshes up.

9:50 Are you familiar with Mario Party:

Omg it wasn’t that hard to grok. Ya’ll like to complain about everything.

This was incredible. Loved it!

It was a little wonky at the start, but very quickly got into a fun groove. It was a good time.

I get the general gist, but missing the intro is a bummer.

Either way, holy hell, this show must be absolutely bonkers to produce.

This was great! Make this a new show!!

This was pretty awesome.

I've submitted so much stuff over the years and almost always forget it. For example the "Sonic having a brain freeze" was apparently me. I found a good template for drawing prompts is "Popular video games does something completely mundane". I think my favorite one I submitted was "Mega Man shaving".

Arcade Pit rules!

Arcade Pit is amazing! Would love for the gang to try again.

this is outstanding omg

this was awesome! that production value. please do get these guys on again sometime

This is wild! The amount of prep and moving parts for this seems like it would be a nightmare to manage.

Not a fan of Twitch - but Smight has definitely turned my head with this one!

Crossing my fingers for the GB team to get in on this again

Holy shit, this was a BLAST.

Can't wait to see this happen more regularly after the announcement!
