Question by Andrew H: What is the difference between an Xbox Pro and an Xbox Arcade?
Our old Xbox broke and we want to buy the cheapest one but, we want to make sure there isn’t a difference between the two.
Is it true that you can only play certain games?

Impressive: Arcade Themed Post-It Stop Motion Video

Note: No screencap is actually visiting do the video justice, so simply view it. If you do not like it I’ll let you pertain to my home and drill me but you’ve never seen me before so I will be offering you my roommate’s description.

This is a super outstanding computer game themed stop movement animation made by Michael Birken using Post-Its. It managed 2,304-hours (the equivalent of 96 days) stretching over 11 months to develop and consists of 5,772 individual frames. I can’t even fathom spending that much time on a project. Generally by the second day I have actually lost interest in whatever I was doing and I’m back on my usual feces at the bar discussing to the bartender why I’m back regardless of informing him just two days ago, “You most likely will not be seeing me for a truly, really very long time.”.

So It’s Come To This: Beer Pong Arcade Machines

|

Author: Nancy Kennedy

Because drinking beer is actually the least fun thing about beer pong, arcade manufacturer Bay Tek Games is releasing Beer Pong Master, a beer pong arcade game with zero alcohol. So…it’s not really beer pong is it? It’s just pong. Jk jk, just a waste of a dollar.

Normal beer pong mechanics are in play here, but you have a set amount of time (our machine was registered at 60-second games) to sink as many balls in the still-lit cups as possible. All 10 cups begin completely lit at the start of the timer, and once your first ball connects to the rim of any cup, the clock begins winding down until you’ve sunk a ball in every cup and dimmed all the lights, or 60 seconds has passed, whichever comes first

Man, this kind of makes me want to go play carnival games. Yeah, and I’m gonna win a big prize — none of those small or medium stuffed animals for me. I’m gonna be the guy carrying the GIANT BEAR. Fun fact: did you know that nobody ever actually wins the big stuffed animals at amusement parks and the people you see walking around with them are just employees paid to do that? Well that’s true and don’t even try to say you’ve won one or know somebody who has because that makes you a dirty liar.

There are very few things on this Earth that can make a view of the San Francisco Bay even more gorgeous than it already is, and a pier with 67 arcade games lined up side-by-side certainly qualifies as one of them. This stockpile of amusement will soon be making its way into our exhibit hall at Fort Mason for the Engadget Expand afterparty, and we captured this glorious vista fresh off the delivery truck. The usual suspects are here: NBA Jam, Street Fighter, Tetris, Tron, Pac-man, Qbert and even Donkey Kong, along with a litany of other classics. Take a quick break this evening and have yourself a good long look at our gallery of goodies below, as well as a video showing the setup in all its glory.

Finally, An Arcade Game That Gets You Drunk

|

Author: jos

Fighting game Beercade: The Last Beerfighter rewards the winner with sweet, sweet booze.

As anyone who has visited a bowling alley or Brooklyn’s own Barcade knows full well, alcohol and arcade games enjoy a special relationship. Now, thanks to the advertising agency McKinney, that relationship has turned downright intimate:

What's more memorable: sampling a beer poured by a bartender, beer rep or festival worker, or sampling a beer poured from a video arcade machine after you defeat your pathetic opponent in a game called “The Last Barfighter”? Everything about the Big Boss Brewery Beercade was handcrafted in-house at McKinney — from the classic arcade-inspired frame construction to the typographical styling and illustrations to the video game itself. It takes beer trial from forgettable smell-and-sip to memorable gloat-and-guzzle.

Yes: Arcade Fighting Game Rewards Winner With A Beer

|

Author: Laura Clark

The Last Barfighter is an arcade game designed for Huge Employer Brewing Company by the McKinney Ten Percent ad agency. It’s a two-player dealing with game that takes place in a biker bar (fantastic place for fights btw) and rewards the winner with a cup loaded with beer. God I enjoy playing games for beer. Rock-paper-scissors for a forty?

Beer-thirsty combatants can do battle with an option of 5 characters, all called after Huge Supervisor brews. After three rounds of extreme fisticuffs, fire throwing and unicorn horn impaling, the winner’s cup is fulled of a sample of beer from a keg placed within the equipment.

Are you thinking exactly what I’m thinking? “Play two players on your own and then just let one stand there while you pummel them for a free beer?” Damn yeah! However seriously, do not touch the controls or I’ll eliminate you.

Forget prize tickets or high scores. The minds at McKinney creative agency may have come up with the greatest reward for arcade victors — an ice cold pour of beer. Created as a marketing tool for Big Boss Brewing Company, the aptly named Beercade features The Last Barfighter, a Street Fighter-like arcade game set inside a biker bar. To begin, two players place their cups in the tray below their respective tap, which replaces the machine’s coin slots. Beer-thirsty combatants can do battle with a selection of five characters, all named after Big Boss brews. After three rounds of intense fisticuffs, fire throwing and unicorn horn impaling, the winner’s cup is filled with a sample of beer from a keg placed within the machine. Don’t believe us? You can click past the break for a video of the machine in action.
