Pineconeattack, or PCA is a semi-collaborative effort of sheer idiocy, perpetrated on teh interbutts for our own sick amusement, with articles about gaming, pop culture/fad and anything we find funny. Seriously, escape while you can.

Weekend Wrap-up: Neo-Geo, Pinball and L4D, oh my!

Things have been busy and all that blah, blah, and blah but this doesn’t stop us from having one of the best weekends in a long ass time. Saturday was a very special day for me. Not only did I score a sweet Neo-Geo game from El Gordito but I was able to bear whiteness to a rarity that I have never before seen with my very own eyes: my grandparents and mom playing a game together! Oh and co-op Left 4 Dead.

Okay let me set this up.

WTF!? Left 4 Dead Innuendo is Hilarious.

Do you have enough hard drive space? Game installs on “NXE”

avatar-body1.pngIf you are like me, you probably SOL when it comes to hard drive space. My 20 GB drive has been streamlined down to just enough space so I can cram Gears 2 onto the drive and that’s about it.  No more demos, no more videos and probably no more Xbox live arcade games.   My problem is that the solution is only $150 away, but I don’t want to spend that much on a 120 GB hard drive. So being the cheap ass gamer, I’m going to have to do the truffle shuffle for hard drive space and really choose which games I want to play without the jet drive spinning ruining my gaming experience.  I really want to Elite 360 but I just can’t justify the cost for a color swap and larger hard drive.  So being cheap, this info will truly be helpful.

The list below has been complied over at Neogaf. So without further adieu, here’s the long list of games…

Weekend Wrap Up: “Gears 2″ and “Left 4 Dead” Impressions

Yeah, I’ve been real busy as of late. I was getting over an ear infection and adjusting to some forced restructuring at my day job, which has definitely cut into my blogging time so sorry for being “too busy” for Pineconeattack. Luckily as a treat to myself to get over my week of suckiness, I traded in a few games and began my awesome journey towards killing some grubs in “Gears of Wars 2” and some bloody Z-words in “Left 4 Dead” this weekend.

The New Xbox Experience… Goodbye blades. Hello Avatars!

 So this morning I got the message that the new Xbox Experience (which has been having some launch stumbles by the way) was ready and willing to inject itself (in an extreme fashion!!!) onto my 360. Without a moments hesitation, I told it yes, do come in. How’d it go? Oh man. AWESOME!

First of all there [...]

Wanna Know WHY A Lot Of People Loathe The Wii?

Jesus. Fucking. Krypton.

I mean, seriously. I’ve been considering getting rid of my Wii, since there isn’t anything that I’m willing to shell out money for to play. Plus, with the bombardment of atrocities like the one above, it’s hard to actually defend the system at any given time. I think the [...]

Review: SoulCalibur IV Hori Fighting Stick EX2

After getting the heads up from Ancient Flounder about the killer deal on the SoulCalibur IV joysticks at Fry’s, I rushed down after worked and pick up one for myself. After playing around with this joystick for a couple of days, I’m actually quite impressed with its build quality. Hori is general know for their solid peripherals and for the most part the Hori Fighting Stick EX2 delivers. (Update: My stick committed suicide after less than a year worth of play.)

King of Kong 2 & Neo-Geo: Serious Monkey Business

So I don’t watch as much television anymore. I must be getting old. Hell, look at me, I just called TV “television.” Damn it, that’s not very l337

You know what makes me feel even older? How about a G4 spoof on two things I loved as a kid. Yeah, I’m talking about Donkey Kong and Terminator, baby. Continue reading King of Kong 2 & Neo-Geo: Serious Monkey Business

Inexpensive Hori Stick for 360 = Yes

Hey!

You!

Own a 360 and want a cheap arcade stick that doesn’t suck?  Well, get your ass down to the local Fry’s (or to the nearest one to you, for our non-local readers), since they are selling the Hori Soulcalibur IV arcade stick for a whopping $39.90+tax.  Aside from the artwork on the panel, it’s the exact [...]
