    Yeah I'll try. I'd rather have another week of Popeye which I love, but I'd feel awful not posting anything this week.

    My scores are going to be terrible lol.

    Okay, thanks! I thought that might be the case, but I was concerned about not seeing the race number.
  4. mbd39
    Can you gather from the podium screen what race it is? It doesn't show the number of the race.

    Unfortunately I strongly dislike this game so far. I'm trying to force myself to play, but I'm not promising anything.

    Screw it, I'll just give my favorites. Platformer - Adventure Island Hack and slash - Ninja Gaiden Beat em up - Double Dragon 2 Run and gun - Contra Sports - Mike Tyson's Punch-Out Puzzle - Tetris Arcade - Marble Madness Racing - Bump n Jump Shooter - Jackal Adventure - Zelda, I guess. Rygar? This isn't a genre that I typically play anymore. There are some genres such as RPG, strategy and point and click where I have no favorites.

    You'll have flawed computer algorithms and old, out of touch politicians deciding. They're in way over their heads.

    You should try to beat Battletoads if you haven't already. You're a good enough gamer to do it.

    At the very least it will hurt content creators who do aim at kids, as well as borderline channels such as toy reviews and animation where it's more ambiguous whether it's content for kids or not.

    This might actually turn out to be a net positive if it means that regular Youtube becomes more for grownups and parents put their kids on Youtube Kids and other platforms. Maybe Youtube will have to be further broken up into multiple platforms such as Youtube Teen, Youtube Family and Youtube Mature. It will be interesting to see how this all works out.

    This move by Youtube has more to do with them knowingly tracking children under 13 who watch videos specifically aimed at young children, which is illegal under COPPA. Nothing to do with Elsagate. The new rules will just result in a lot of "for children" content creators ditching Youtube. Kids will keep watching Youtube but they'll just watch more adult content because of this law that is supposed to be protecting them. The whole thing is ironic and stupid.

    Popeye was an easier, more inviting contest. This game and its rules are kind of intimidating. I think that's why this thread has been more quiet. I'll try to finish a run.

    I bought an XBOX for Ninja Gaiden. I didn't give a crap about Halo.
  14. mbd39
    Here's someone else talking about it. Oh wait, same issue about the guy's head

    In case you don't know, COPPA (Child Online Privacy Protection Act) is an old law designed to protect the online privacy of children under 13. Youtube was recently hit with a huge fine for non-compliance. Starting in 2020, all Youtube videos will either be marked as "intended for children" or not. Those marked as being for children will face all kinds of restrictions such as no targeted ads, no notifications, no user comments, etc. The scariest part is that content creators can be hit with a 42k dollar fine per video for non-compliance. If the government deems that a video is "for children" and isn't marked as such, you can be fined by the FTC. So content creators can err on the safe side and mark borderline videos as being for children and lose all that ad revenue, or face the possibility of huge fines. I'm sure that many will just quit the platform altogether. Not that the FTC won't start targeting other social media. This is a nightmare. 2020 is going to be an interesting year for the internet.

    I would say the early or mid 80s through the mid 90s. Most of my favorite games of all time are from those years. You have the arcade classics and the golden years of 8 and 16 bit consoles and 2D gaming.
  17. mbd39
    Okay this is very nice to know. This had me worried.
  18. mbd39
    Recording your gameplay would be a nice recommendation to add to the rules.
  19. mbd39
    Agree, that's a good point.

    You don't have much time to get a pic between races. I'm glad I'm playing on emulator because that can be paused at any time. For those playing on real hardware be ready to take the pic.
  21. mbd39
    It's happened to me on both cart and emulator. You were just lucky if it didn't happen to you.
  22. mbd39
    Looking forward to giving this one a try. I hope it's not one of those games with a super steep learning curve for those who didn't grow up with it.
  23. mbd39
    I always got around 10k in stage 2. Not getting enough points in stage 2 may have been my problem. Stage 3 is worth massive points thanks to the birds, as long as Bluto doesn't decide to knock you off the platform while trying to grind them.
  24. mbd39
    Yeah exactly. At least the drop is enough easy to time when he actually cooperates.
  25. mbd39
    What's the most points you could get on stage one? I think the best I did was around 17k.
