cyangames	Yes! Let's have cute PAC man figurines, puppet Mr do, galaxian badges and some sorta space invader stuff! Actually, all those things seem really cool! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Prepare for Epic Scores.. It's ArcadeBlock time! > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]27177023460[/flickr] TShirt : Zelda! [flickr]26844195264[/flickr] The usual rule is that my cousin Ryan gets all the Zelda stuff, but he ain't gettin' my TShirts!!! Arcade Score : 1/10 : Zelda isn't an Arcade Game. Except on very rare occasions. Lunchbox : Plants vs Zombies [flickr]27419200486[/flickr] This is a bit shit.. It's just a crappy metal lunchbox with a rather bland looking picture. Although I don't use a lunchbox, one does sit pride-and-place atop my shelves. It's a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup one. This won't be replacing it. Arcade Score 0/10 - PvZ might wish it were an Arcade game, but it really isn't, and has no right to be. Plushie : GrumpyMan? [flickr]26844225134[/flickr] From Warcraft, apparently. Looks like a generic grumpy warrior-bloke thing, to me. Not exactly the sort of plushie you'd snuggle up in bed with. Arcade Score 0/10 - Nope..! Stickers : Hmm... [flickr]27453603035[/flickr] Bases from Space Invaders?! Why red and not green? And why's the end one darker?! Very odd! > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]26844218094[/flickr] Ooooooh, it's a health bar! Arcade Score 10/10 - Might as well give SOMETHING 10/10, right?! PinBadge : Controller [flickr]27453476925[/flickr] Sweeeeeet!!!! Arcade Score 0/10 - Bit unfortunate, but you don't see NES Controllers in the arcade.. Well, not unless someone's got one of those belts, anyway. Magnets : Mario Maker Magnets [flickr]27177034600[/flickr] Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! Magnets are awesome, and making levels with magnets is super awesome! Bravo, ArcadeBlock! BRAVO!! Arcade Score 1/10 - Poor Arcade Block can't get a break from my extremely biased scoring! Total Score : 12/60 : Not the highesst score ever, but definitely a couple of the nicest items I've had, recently. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Not bad. Not bad. Like you though, I think the lunchbox and ogre are a bit mup.

rockford	Yeah, must admit to liking those a bit more. I didn't know any of the toys other than the Boglin, but it was still interesting.
Tue, 05 Jul 2016, 03:27
Jayenkai	Oh, blimey! > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]28102239275[/flickr] TShirt : Five Nights at Freddy's [flickr]27999669632[/flickr] I didn't know what this was, so had to check the "Things in your box" description card. Five Nights at Freddy's.. Arcade Score : 0/10 - shrugs Stickers : Sonic 25th Anniversary [flickr]28024755081[/flickr] [flickr]27822129570[/flickr] Sweeeet! No idea what I'll do with these, but they're really nicely printed, and are lovely and Sonic'y! Arcade Score : 1/10 - Sonic had an arcade game. It was weird! Ice Cube Tray : Mario [flickr]28024723611[/flickr] [flickr]28024729581[/flickr] Now you can have a mushroom in your drink! Arcade Score : 3/10 - Kinda scores, a bit. Notebook : Zelda [flickr]28102283065[/flickr] I think it's a notebook, anyway. This will, as with all Zelda gifts, be going to my cousin. Arcade Score : 1/10 - Zelda's no Arcade game. Sushi Set : Street Fighter [flickr]27999700852[/flickr] [flickr]28024684191[/flickr] I haven't got a fucking clue what I'm going to be doing with this, but... .. Awesome! Arcade Score : 10/10 - It doesn't get much more Arcade than Street Fighter.. ... Unless. Picture : Donkey Kong [flickr]27487791584[/flickr] A picture. I can print my own pictures. I have a printer. I'd much prefer a nice big poster, than a regular A4 sized picture. Arcade Score : 10/10 - Arcade!!!! Arcade Total : 25/60 : A New Highscore, perhaps!? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	A very eclectic box, that one, but give them a credit. 1UP!

Jayenkai	Just the Shirts! Shirt Block is 5 TShirts, every month! https://www.nerdblock.com/shirtblock (0/50 : None of them are “shirts”) -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	A very curious selection, this month. > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]28728974886[/flickr] TShirt : SMASH! [flickr]28728823536[/flickr] Is it Smash Bros, or is it Smash TV? Who can say for sure!! Arcade Score : 0/10 : It's definitely supposed to be the original N64 Smash Bros logo.. ... Right!? Keyring : Key! [flickr]28728899386[/flickr] Add an extra key to your keyring, with this keyring key! Will be going to Cousin Ryan, as with all Zelda related items. Arcade Score : 2/10 : Link scores low arcade points. I'm still not convinced he should earn that.. Air Freshener : Toad [flickr]28142808824[/flickr] Nice, sure, but I have no car, so this is worthless to me. Bah, humbug! (And I'm NOT going to be one of those people who hangs a crappy little car-freshener in their bedroom!!) Arcade Score : 2/10 : Toad's popped up on Mario Kart Arcade. .. That's all I can think of! Figurine : Warcraft [flickr]28760259295[/flickr] Unboxed > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]28142800424[/flickr] Oh, yippee.. How is Warcraft still relevant? Does anyone even play it anymore?! Arcade Score : 0/10 : Nope.. No points here.. Move along.. Speaker!? : Megaman [flickr]28655312712[/flickr] Unboxed > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]28142816604[/flickr] It's molded well, and it looks nice. Unfortunately it needs both a USB power supply, and a wired 3.5mm connector before it'll work. ..but I can't use that from my iPad, and since my iPad is what I listen to 99% of my music on, it's next to useless to me. Which is a shame, 'cos it sure looks nice! Arcade Score : 2/10 : Megaman's popped up, on occasion. Signed Bollocks : Deus Ex [flickr]28760239965[/flickr] Don't know the game. Don't know the character. Don't know the voice actor. Don't know why this is in the box. Also.. > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]28655332702[/flickr] Don't know why he's missed half of his last name out.. Perhaps he was tired by the time he did this one.. Arcade Score : 0/10 : 99% sure this isn't an arcade game. Total Arcade Score : 6/60 - Not the best block. I've had much better. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Oh dear. Even as a fan of Zelda and all things Nintendo, pretty much all of that would go in my bin, had I subscribed to that Has the best already been seen? Maybe next month's box will improve things...

Jayenkai	Only 5 items in this month box.. Boooo!! > Reveal 🔎 TShirt : Zelda [flickr]29471618675[/flickr] Typically my cousin gets all the Zelda stuff, but he doesn't get the TShirts!!! This is Mine!!! Arcade Score : 1/10 - Zelda isn't an Arcade game. Mug : Tetris [flickr]29471612485[/flickr] It changes colour, apparently, just like those PacMan mugs that were doing the rounds last Xmas. Mmm.. Mug! Arcade Score : 0/10 - Tetris isn't an Arcade game. Figurine : Five Nights at Freddy's [flickr]28849673473[/flickr] I'm currently wearing a Five Nights at Freddy's tshirt from a few months back. I still don't know what this game is! Arcade Score : 0/10 - I don't /think/ it's an Arcade Game. checks It's a point'n'click, apparently. Nah, definitely not Arcade. K'Nex : Cat Luigi! [flickr]29437259616[/flickr] [flickr]29471599565[/flickr] Awwww ... Awwwwww Arcade Score : 1/10 - I seem to remember someone saying that Luigi's Mansion got an arcade port of sorts. shrugs And then there was the 5th object in the box. > Reveal 🔎 USB : SNES Controller!?! [flickr]28847087134[/flickr] Sweeeeet!! [flickr]29183098330[/flickr] Sweeeeeeeeeet!!!! Arcade Score : 0/10 - That ain't from no arcade... Total Score : A disappointing 2/50. But a good box! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	I've got that Tetris mug (as well as PacMan and Space Invaders). Niiiiiice!

Thu, 06 Oct 2016, 13:15
therevillsgames	Arcade Score : 0/10 - Tetris isn't an Arcade game. According to the all knowing Wiki: While versions of Tetris were sold for a range of 1980s home computer platforms as well as arcades https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris
Thu, 06 Oct 2016, 13:34
Jayenkai	No! Tetris is black and white, is on a GameBoy, and only has one Next Block!! And there is no Hold!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Another Month, Another Block. > Reveal 🔎 TShirt - Controllers [flickr]30169610605[/flickr] I like this one. I really like it! I expect it'll get a lot of wear. Arcade Score : 0/10 - Nope.. Magazine - Retro [flickr]29540912734[/flickr] A Retro Retro magazine.. "Retro Replay" looks back at previous Retro magazines to pluck Retro Retro articles about Retro games. Retroception. Arcade Score : 10/10 - Can't fault it on it's Arcade score. Chip Clips - Mario [flickr]30085197231[/flickr] Three lovely little "Chip Clips" to clip closed the bag of "Chips" when you're done eating them, so you can save them for later. .. Who doesn't eat the whole bag in one go?!!? Arcade Score : 1/10 - People whinge if I don't give Mario a point! USB Hub - Genesis [flickr]30169592315[/flickr] Lovely!!! Not a powered hub, but still a lovely little thing. tries not to complain about it not being a MegaDrive Arcade Score : 0/10 - If your Arcade had one of these, then it wasn't an arcade. It was some old guy's basement! MegaBlocks - Assassin's Creed [flickr]29540746993[/flickr] You know what I REALLY hate about MegaBlocks? Their legs are so "flexible" that you can never get their foot-holes to connect to the sodding pegs! The legs keep flailing around whilst you're trying to push them in!! Arcade Score : 0/10 - And no-one will convince me otherwise. Total Score : 11/50 - A lovely collection, this month, although I could probably have done without the magazine if I'm honest. I never have time to read them. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Rejigged the [flickr] BBCode so that it no longer does those silly slideshow boxes, which were REALLY starting to slow things down when there were too many [flickr]s in a thread.. eg, this one!! Now it uses Javascript instead, though, so you'll have to have Javascript enabled to see the pics. Sorry about that.. But.. This is 2016, and Javascript isn't as deadly as it once was! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	It's time for some crazy scoring!! ArcadeBlock October 2016! > Reveal 🔎 TShirt : Gears of War 4 [flickr]30664539611[/flickr] Oh, they're up to 4, eh? Cool. I haven't played any of them. Arcade Score : 0/10 - No Arcade for You! Not-Lego Thing - Five Nights at Freddy's [flickr]30635950872[/flickr] What is this, anyway?! I should probably look it up. I'm too busy playing gamey games, though, like Rhythm Paradise/Heaven/Tengoku. Here he is built up. > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]30752637185[/flickr] Ooh. Arcade Score : 0/10 - Fairly sure it's not an arcade game. Poster - Mario Kart [flickr]30635937472[/flickr] What a lovely poster! 10/10 Arcade Score : 1/10 - It had an outing, but it's definitely not an Arcade game! Socks - StarFox [flickr]30752626795[/flickr] What's in the blocks? Hey, some socks! Who's on the socks? Yeay, Star Fox! Arcade Score : 0/10 - Nada! PinBadge - Zapper [flickr]30452111410[/flickr] I'm not 100% sure what this is supposed to be. It's shaped like a NES Zapper, but is much much darker than the usual bright and almost-fluorescent original. Maybe it's a "Almost, but different enough to avoid copyright infringement" version..? shrugs Arcade Score : 0/10 - The NES zapper might've brought the arcade to your home, but that doesn't give it an Arcade score! Figurine - CatWoman [flickr]30635934732[/flickr] CatWoman. What more can you say..? ..Not the proper catwoman from the classic camp-TV series, though, is it!? Arcade Score : 0/10 - Nah ah! Incidentally, when I laid everything out for the group shot, I tried to bend CatWoman's legs so she could sit down.. At which point.. > Reveal 🔎 [flickr]30664543501[/flickr] Group Shot - Mostly Tat [flickr]30664547831[/flickr] Total Arcade Score : 1/60 - Hurray for a single point. Not too impressed with this month's offerings. I'll probably wear the socks, and see if I can find somewhere to put the poster, but.. Meh.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
