Arcade Pit: Round 7 - 04/06/22

Hilarious ending

PIT PIT PIT

this show is always the highlight of my week. Shame I can't catch it live any more

hoooo boy, grats to Team Juice for finally getting on the board

Meat Juice rulez. The drunk wario segment was hilarious.

Loved how close this was right up until the last twenty minutes or so. Really felt like it was anyone’s game until that well-timed steal.

Jeff got robbed in that opening challenge! He rang the bell before Rorie got to the door, which ends the stage! The refs are blind!

Oh man... Going in blind on Marble Madness on Ultimate race? AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH~ Doom on GBA is probably easier. And I am saying this as someone who has completed all levels of Marble Madness multiple times.

That Wario disaster was hysterical lol (for future reference, you gotta throw an enemy through those blocks) PA Master was brutal today too lmao. Fantastic game everyone!

2 minutes in and calling for a review! Jeff took that by a mile!

Just looking at the game list you know it's gonna be a good Pit.

Games with an angle are the best parts of Giant Bomb. Smight and P.A. Master are terrific hosts.

I was wondering that, thanks!

Picking Marble Madness over Super Mario Land 2 DX is insane. SML2 is a much much easier game.

Wario Land 2 is actually a great game.

This was a great and enlightening episode. Lucy was shockingly the MVP. And Jeff B despite not being big on video games played solidly throughout. They earned not being last. Tam and Rorie, who you'd think would be more knowledgeable about video games did poorly. But it was close for a while.

For the record: Street Fighter 2010 is a hard, but great game. One of many great NES games that were made in place of the developers not being able to do an arcade port of the originals. NES Strider and P.O.W are also good examples.

The sass levels in this one were at an all-time high.

Bakalar: "What is rollergames!?"

Me: Its that show Gerstmann was talking about on the bombcast this week!

Is there any reason in VG Hustle to not try and steal? Seems a bit OP at -20/+20 for a forty point swing. Why not just like 10 points?

@beatle: In the regular Sunday show, you see a lot of different skill levels and degrees of familiarity with the games. Sometimes you have two teams full of players who can reliably beat the games, in which case, not going for the steal is the safe points play.

Anyway, 40 points is a big potential swing, but it's not totally out of line with the rest of the game. A big Gamebler win can get you more still.

I’m going to see drunk Wario and the frat penguins in my nightmares, thanks.
