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.

I had to post this, just due to how well done it is and the choice of music. It’s some nice moments captured in time, especially the reactions shown of people watching the matches. Just cool stuff, in my opinion.

EVO 2010: Day 1

EVO started today and all I was concern about was getting my Rival Schools board up and working for players to enjoy. At an unfavorable last minute decision, the final instructions came and we were only allowed to bring 2 arcade machines instead of the original promised 4. The choices were easy to make. My big heavy purple cab had to stay in the garage while the two smaller cabinets had to represent the Las Vegas crew. I could go on and on about it not being fair but ultimately the verdict came from the top and we were just happy to comply with fan request with Rival School running on the Sega Astro City and Magical Drop 3 & Matrimelee running on the mini Neo-Geo 2 slot cab.

Review: Which Joystick Should You Get?

With fighting fever at an all time high and EVO 2010 is just around the corner, I have been receiving numerous emails asking the same question:

“Which joystick should I get?”

Now instead of constantly repeating myself I figure it would be a perfect time to break down the four more common easily attainable joysticks that you can easily find in North America. I don’t want to bog down this list with the plethora of Chinese, Korean & Japanese exclusive joysticks and variants because most of you probably have no care about them. I’ve broken down the list into three categories of cheap, moderate and expensive that can easily be found on Amazon, Game Stop or whatever domestic gaming shop and I hope this article will answer most of your questions and will help you on your way towards that perfect stick.

Just a reminder: EVO 2010 is almost here…

It’s in sunny ass Las Vegas, like normal. Why? ’cause Vegas is awesome!

We’ll be there.

We’ll be bringing machines for people to play on.

We’ll be taking pictures and interviewing people.

We’ll be sponsoring someone whose in the Super Street Fighter 4 matches (and you better fucking win…).

We’ll be buying exclusive Meatbun EVO shirts.

We’ll be all like, cursing and drinking and shit.

We’ll maybe probably not even close fuck you I’ll make them this time! No fuck that. Liar! EAT SHIT! MAYBE even make some PCA special shirts for the event. Want one? Better hope I finish Bizzaro’s first! Or else I’d be mean as shit to make more of anything! Want one? Make a great argument for me to waste my time doing so. Then hand me cash! We both win!

Because you can’t have PINCONEVOATTACK! without EVO!

Pinekast #52: Arcade Collecting 101

This week we are touching on a topic that is near and dear to Jango’s heart: Arcade collecting.

Jedah Doma, Decepticreep, Jangofatt and Baldy touch on our home arcade memories from Jango’s first crappy machine to the short run with NFL Blitz to the groups current love for SNK’s MVS setup. Decepticreep lightly touches on the age-old comparison of American joysticks vs. Japanese sticks. Learn about how JAMMA (Japan Amusement Machinery Manufacturers Association) standardized the arcade industry while also condemning them to mediocrity and Jango goes on and on about his love of the MVS (Multi Video System) setup. Hopefully, there are some interesting tidbits of info on how to start your own personal arcade machine on the cheap while learning about which popular boards have suicide batteries. Of course we touch on the advantages and disadvantages of having a personal arcade and why Decepticreep wants Jango to build him a SuperGun and why Jango hates Neo-Geo ports.

We hope you find this episode informative enough for you to start your own home arcade.
