I like pinball, and I play it every chance I get. I went to a pinball museum a few days ago, so I got to try many tables.
>Jungle Queen (pic related from IPDB)
I had never tried a table this old before. I like the unique double flipper arrangement, and the playfield art is great. The chimes are pleasant, too. Tables from the '70s like this tend to be inclined less than newer ones, so nudging is more effective and it's harder to get the ball trapped on a flipper. I like the simple rules. It's fun to clear the drop target banks.
>Big Guns
I had to play this one when I saw it, because it was noted as being designed by Mark Ritchie, whose work on Fish Tales I'm familiar with. More on that later, maybe. This table features 2 cannons that actually shoot the balls through the air and onto the habitrails. Also, there's a little game in the backglass that uses a smaller ball. I haven't seen either of those features anywhere else. It's an exciting table with top-notch presentation in both visuals and sound. Also, this thing is a beast. It's so heavy that I found it difficult to get any effect out of nudging.
>Riverboat Gambler
I had learned some of the rules for this table in advance, so I had fun going for the various objectives. There are 6 main ones, and while I got each one at some point, I couldn't manage to complete them all in one game. There's a spinning wheel in the backglass for the roulette minigame, and some extra buttons are used to place bets on it. There's also a gap at the top of the right outlane that allows the ball to go back into the plunger lane, not only saving it but also giving another chance at the skillshot. I like that feature.
I played some other tables too, but those three were the ones I played the most. I might write about others later, or maybe I'll go into detail about a few tables that are more local to me. What pinball tables have you played?

Finally, I played some more pinball. I didn't put up any big scores today, despite showing up in the autism uniform pictured at left, but I did see a few cool things.
>Fish Tales
As mentioned before, Mark Ritchie worked on this one. I like the simple rules and the funny theme. I had approached this table hoping for revenge, as the last time I played it, I couldn't start a multiball. This time, I couldn't even hit a single lock. The only shots I consistently found were the boat ramps. This table features Lightning Flippers, a contemporary Williams feature in which the flippers are 1/8" shorter than standard, which makes center drains a big threat. I kept losing the ball right after the ball saver expired. This even happened 3 times in one game. At least I got to hear the best voice line in the game (attached).
>Hurricane (upper playfield pictured)
It's the third in the trilogy of Comet and Cyclone, so now I've played them all. I got to watch the ball ride the double Ferris wheels, which was all I really wanted. Then, I did a soft plunge and accidentally got the ball stuck between the plunger habitrail and the sign over the right ramp. I could only free it by tilting, so I lost that ball. After that, I started Clown Time, but then drained immediately. Maybe a mere few seconds of Clown Time is all we get in life.
>Pin*Bot
This is an older table (1986) and the predecessor to Jack*Bot, which I've also played. It's another brainchild of Python Anghelo. There's a fun rule where you get 1 shot to hit a strobing light for a chance at multiball, but if you miss it, you have to build it up the hard way. I hit it on Jack*Bot, which has a similar rule, but I couldn't do it today. I did get to demonstrate an interesting mechanic: the 1-switch rule (conventionally replaced by a 3-switch rule on later tables). This rule ensures that if the ball drains before hitting any switch, it's returned to the plunger for free. This is necessary as a failsafe in case the ball kicker doesn't work, but on this table, it can be exploited by shooting the ball just hard enough to roll out of the pop bumper nest without hitting any bumpers. From there, it goes to the flippers, and you effectively get a risk-free shot. Because I wanted to see the rule in action, I drained on purpose, and I actually got it back. Then I shot again and lost it right away, so it all came out in the wash.
I wish I could have played for longer or at least done a bit better, but I still enjoyed playing pinball. All of the tables I played today are somewhat common, so maybe you've seen one before. I hope to cover Stern's Star Trek and Iron Man tables when I can. A nearby mall houses both, but it's in dire straits.

I was at the same arcade again, so I played most of the same tables, but I also tried a new one.
>Bone Busters Inc.
I don't know the rules to this one, but I gather it has a skillshot similar to the one on Big Guns. This one requires you to engage an upper flipper acting as a diverter, which is done with an extra button on the right. It seems to lock a ball if you make it. Other than than, I shot for the drop targets, which is easy enough with the left side flipper. I like the theme and the art, and the angled inlane structure is fun. This one tilts with no warnings, so it takes some finesse to save a ball. Maybe next time I'll take a look at the rules printed on the front insert.
In other news, I finally got the multiball on Fish Tales. I hit Rock the Boat a few times in the same game, so I got a decent score of a bit over 50 million. If I want to beat the 300 million default high score, I'll have to score some jackpots.
I got the multiball on Pin*Bot too, and I made some fun saves off the center post. I still didn't hit the strobing shot, though.
>>3175
I played more Bone Busters. I had wanted to try World Cup Soccer, but it seemed to be out of order.
I couldn't make much sense of the diagram on the front, and the sound effects weren't working, so I went off the playfield lights to figure out what to do. As I thought, the skillshot locks balls. A ball can be sent the same way from a left ramp shot. The center shot starts multiball with any balls that have been locked. There may be some other condition necessary, or maybe I just shot it a lot with no locks. The ramp actually sends the ball over a gap and into a hoop, so it only counts for multiball if it has enough speed to make the jump.
There's also a captive ball on the top left. I think it collects a jackpot, but I'm not sure when it's eligible. The most reliable way to shoot it is up the left side, just over the side flipper.
The drop targets appear to collect some bonuses indicated by the lights next to them. The right inlane affects these lights, making new awards available.
The shots on the right look important, but I didn't make them enough to gather how they work.
Despite not knowing much about the table and not playing any better than usual, I was awarded with so many specials that I played free for at least half an hour and left it with more credits than it had when I started. I never figured out why it kept giving them out, but it was being very generous. There even seems to be a triple special available as a multiball award.
I hope to try World Cup Soccer next time. The playfield design looks fun. Several of the tables had their coin slots blocked, so maybe it was just time for maintenance.
Anybody remember the flash pinball game based on this Nike Total 90 commercial? Seems like it's lost media today.

I'm so shit at pinball, perhaps i dont understand the rules or gameplay. Also for whatever god damned reason the fucking pinball machines at my arcade have this fucking high pitch screech that'll bust an eardrum, all of them do this for some reason. I played three machines that i can remember, alien pinball, deadpool pinball and vemom pinball.
the alien pinball allows you to choose two story modes, alien one or two. had a hard fucking time playing this one. deadpool pinball was fun, kind of like an rpg with a story mode, you have to kill mystique, sabertooth and juggernaut by doing specific things and its timed because they are also are killing deadpool arcade videogame style. venom pinball is neat because you get to choose a host and it changes the way the pinball machine is used like certian things are changed, disabled and you get buffs like extra pinballs or whatever.
Presenting to you one of the most legendary source materials on Nico Nico Douga... You know him as the Unreal Gamer, Angry German Kid (AGK), or Der Echte Gangster but in Japan he was known under the alias Keyboard Crusher (KBC, shorted to Crusher sometimes) Kibokura, Kikura, and German-made VOCALOID.
This thread will evolve around sharing, translating, and discussing KBC videos, and any other stuff relating to KBC from Nico Nico Douga.
The oldest surviving video ever uploaded of him to Nico Nico Douga which was a very early time on there when Nico Nico Douga initially enabled uploading videos to the website: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm167 [Play] in which basically everything that he said in his very aggressive German voice was misheard as something completely else in Japanese which was a factor in spawning tons of MADs, specifically otoMADs (Sound MAD(Movie Animation Douga(Video)s), around this guy which was partly responsible for pretty much leading the MAD space on Nico Nico Douga forward. He was especially popular for how his keyboard smashing sounds were remixed in videos.
I have included a full translation of those misheard quotes + Romaji subtitles in the initial video but do note that a lot of the mishearings are left up to interpretation and can be misheard as something completely else by other users (some of them are my interpretations).
Translation note: If you are wondering about what m9(^Д^)ﾌﾟｷﾞｬｰ is supposed to be think of it as a Kaomoj of a index finger being pointed at you. it can also be written as 「ｍ９っ」 or 「ｍ９つ」 where 「つ」 signifies extending the thumb. Pugyah signifies mockery which evolved possibly from 「ぷぷぷ」 (pupupu). The full Kaomoj basically came to fruition when the 2channel's News Flash VIP was established in 2004.
I have no clue what the misheard phrase "Is created Hoimafu, Rose?" is supposed to mean but it's supposed to be super popular so If you have any idea I would appreciate it.
Believe it or not but the first ever otoMAD ever uploaded to Nico Nico Douga was a KBC video: https://nicovideo.jp/watch/sm662 [Play] though if you wondering what the first ever otoMAD that was created was it was Ogino House back in 2004: https://youtu.be/-FcLjBE0wZY [Play]
A lot of the KBC MADs usually come in different styles like using subtitles that aren't part of the misheard version or creating story based videos where KBC plays some kind of game and usually the story based ones often conclude with bad endings, such as the computer freezing or Crusher losing the game.
There are also videos where they reverse the footage to create even more potential mishearings a few popular ones being "EIRIN EIRIN" and "Haruhi" https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm23692618 [Play] and yes those are also used in otoMADs.
I will include in this post a few popular otoMADs from KBC that you might have even come across if you browsed Youtube back a decade and a half ago.

I've been working on this for the past several days now, and this is probably the first time someone has ever translated a full otoMAD collaboration into English. So basically, if you didn't know, otoMAD collaborations tend to happen when there is usually some kind of event to celebrate, like someone in the source material having their birthday, or you know, it's the end of the year, which is more common. In those collaborations, the Japanese creators all get together months before it's supposed to be released in some group chat or through email and pick a medley, then get parts assigned to them that they will create for that medley. However, a lot of the time, it might be that there is a medley creator, and that collaboration will have its full-fledged Nico Nico Douga medley made. (Good collaborations, like this, are a thing of the past now).
There's a few translation notes so I want to get to that:
1. A lot of the translations here are basically just Danmaku comments so you might notice that when KBC says something twice but it is interpreted differently each time it's just something the viewers misheard it as and thought it would fit better than the original.
2. The [Shakugan no Shana II OP] (5:20), [GONG](06:00), and [Sing & Smile] (9:55) parts, I have altered the lyrics completely for those parts meaning it doesn't actually translate but is my own interpretation for those lyrics. I thought it was a rather huge shame that the creators of those parts didn't alter the lyrics even slightly to match KBC's source material since that's rather the whole point of making a otoMAD so I did it for them.
3. Yes, if you didn't notice the parts at 3:00 [Beatmania IIDX 7th Style - Stoic], 04:49 [Kotoba no Puzzle Mojipittan OP], 8:49 [Battle! Champion] were altered visually to English but particularly Stoic as I've changed the Japanese system language to English completely so I'll also provide a separate video of that without the added subtitles.
4. Regarding the first part when it comes to Marisa Stole the Precious Thing part I'm a bit confused about the 「誰がダレガ can't be alive without you」translation, because I know that all English interpretations of that lyrics say 「誰がダレガ」 as "Who are you? Who are you? can't be alive without you" but shouldn't it be interpreted as Alice saying to Marisa "Who couldn't continue living without you?" due to her tsundere feelings towards Marisa? Anyways I did find an at.wiki page for the song that explains the meaning of it: https://w.atwiki.jp/aniwotawiki/pages/16297.html

In this thread, we will talk about the types of people you find annoying.
>gym people
Unrestrained people who feel compelled to talk about constantly going to the gym. The gym is beneficial to these people, as well as enjoyable for them. It becomes annoying when people these people shame skinny guys and act all high and mighty. The gym is regarded by some gym-obsessed individuals as a magic solution to issues such as being friendless or having trouble finding a girlfriend. You can benefit from the gym, but if you have deep-seated problems, it won't be helpful enough.
>Wise Guys
The self proclaims wise guys can be very annoying when they are not wise in reality. Despite claiming to be smarter than you, they will struggle to explain concepts you can understand when you are wise.
>Tough Guys
This last type has a lot of overlap with the other types I mentioned. There isn't much to say about these people online because their credibility is as good of a troll, but in real life, these people are cringeworthy. Rarely they will prove it, and most of the time they are just annoying faggots.19 replies (and 3 file replies) omitted. Click here to view. (Bump Limit: 250)

Absolutely, this is my biggest peeve. I consider myself an open-minded person. I have no desire to impose my beliefs on anyone. But one group I cannot stand? Mother.fucking.wiccans.
I hate when they get uppity about any of their beliefs being "the original." When they talk shit about Christianity just stealing/rebranding "wiccan" holidays. Blatantly false. Wicca was not a thing, barely even a word, before 1954 or '56. Its holidays are built off of a calendar that historical pagans would not have had any familiarity with. Wicca was a movement headed by post-WWII counterculture with the faintest veneer of historicity painted unceremoniously across its face. Every wiccan I've met has been legitimately low-iq, finding "faith" in nothing more than the feeling that they're owning the christian normie patriarchy. They are completely unwilling to engage in independent research, just as bad as the most bigoted fundie christian. When someone tells me they are wiccan I instantly know they are only interested in using faith and belief to boost a certain aspect of their self-image, not to provide moral framework or pursue profound truths or whatever else religion can be used for.
You wanna call yourself a historical pagan? Fine, I don't have any grief with that. If your beliefs are well researched and thought-out, whatever they may be, I can learn something from you and that's something I appreciate. Wiccans don't have that and never will. It's one of the biggest farces of the 20th century west, and that's saying something.
This isn't even getting into the outright delusional/vindictive side. I fully invite any wiccan here to lay your worst curse on me. Burn your oldest yew, your driest sage, your dankest weed. Bring it the fuck on, asshole.
I can't believe these individuals haven't been stated, but white knights are some of the most detestable people with zero actual backbone. I hate how they will put on an "alpha" act around guys usually, and then they treat females with kid's gloves no matter how cuntish they are. These people can never be reasoned with, or will they change because women will always get unearned attention, and the white knight will always be desperate. I don't see any way to successfully counteract this behavior because it doesn't bother most people.
People who promise and never deliver. Words lose meaning when you talk to this type of person. I don't want to associate with people who don't try to make their words a reality.

i was going to go in a long rant but i'll keep it short by saying this isn't new behaviour either. this isn't just now and because of muh trump and muh libs or something, take a look at old comicbooks since the '30s to atleast roughly the 90's, the coldwar, the commies, the natzis "muh racism" the russians, and in the 2000's it was the muslums as "terrorists"
the amount of moralfagging and strawmanning is unreal and there's always a bugaboo bad guy to be scared of. you always have to upkeep some type of social norm and if you don't, you must be "insert bugaboo here" and you better fucking watch out the bugaboo is everywhere.
i was reading an agent of shield comic and i had to stop reading that shit because of a character introduced called the "hate mongerer" who had a "hatred ray" that made people ""racist"" AND GUESS WHAT AFTER BEING UNMASKED THE HATE MONGER IS LITERALLY HITLER ZOMG HE SURVIVED and this shit was written in like 1963. i was watching the umbrella academy show and in season two a character gets transported back in time and participates in fucking black suffrage even though literally no one cares its the 2000's and that shit wasn't in the original comics and continuing onwards there was a show i used to watch called supergirl on the CW and it was pretty much a comfy show about an outsider and it was hardcore comicbook shit like the red tornado makes an appearance but then out of fucking no where the culture war makes an appearance and it becomes hardcore anti trump muh racism
these people are brainwashed even jews still jerk off about hitler and blacks jerk off about muh whitey at this point you really have to scoff at how obsessed people are about conflicts that are 100 years old or even just 8 years old.
although slightly unrelated of a topic if people want to consume media to escape they want to fucking escape not get sucked in to the culture war and its getting really old.
I hate people who will hold grudges. I can't do anything and I won't beg for you to like me again and there is nothing I can do.
