@EC3_Arcade Can you come in for a casual weekend visit even when there are no events planned? I wanted to come over my Labor Day break…

This has to be the closest niche awesome place I could ever want to visit. And I will be in a couple months. Who wants to join me?

@cr0bar I got a whole warehouse of rare shit. My Egret 29 and sharp x68000 XVI are probly the 2 coolest of my stuff.

What’s your rarest computer, console or handheld? Mine is the Nintendo Switch Lite HDEV (HDH-002). Not sure how many were made but it’s nice to have in my collection ☺️

@GameXverse I have disc games. Third strike on cps3 hardware uses a disc

This is honestly getting ridiculous. 😂 It doesn't matter what game I post about anymore, there's always someone in the replies saying: "No disc, no buy." I get that some people prefer physical games, but are you really going to skip every great game just because there's no disc version? And btw, I've noticed that a lot of the accounts spamming this under every post were created either this month or last month. 🤔 Are physical-only gamers really this serious about it, or has "no disc, no buy" just become the latest spam trend on X? Genuinely curious. 👇

You're going to want to tune into this one! @EC3_Arcade sits down with for The Shmup Talk Show #3: youtube.com/watch?v=y25Tav… #shmup #stg

@KittenByKitten Pu li ru la. Its a pretty need beat em up.

Physical media fans, show me something from your collection 💿🖤

@KyoShiro3S Im adopted and due to HIPAA i was not given the information of my birth lineage. Im just happy to be an american and i consider myself a little bit of everything.

Can y’all stop with the flags… we don’t give a damn about how many are inside of you.. & most people don’t even know half of them.

@gowturtle Something something, Elena

I don’t know how but I’ll find a way to say “…expressing some heterosexual exuberance” while doing 3rd Strike commentary

@KyoShiro3S @Arlieth Lmfaoooo

Ok @Arlieth did you know about Ken’s low forward glitch vs Yun and if you do please explain. Thanks !

@Arial55555 it aint gonna hurt it.

@EC3_Arcade I treat my copy of Gain Ground SX as way more valuable than it actually is and would never put it in an actual CD player let alone leave it in my car lol I'm a coward ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Got an hour to kill so what better way to spend it sitting in the car listening to the gain ground sx pc engine CD ROM2

@ShmupRoom Whatever looks fun.

All honesty,truthfully,what are your gaming habits in 2026?

@spinelessaisha I got u beat. My threadripper 1950x build shit the bed during a power outage last night. Post error. Motherboard most likely shot. Apparently my UPS failed too cuz everything shut off on it.

woke up today, wifi repair guy was over he asked me to turn my pc on, i boot into windows instead of linux for him 5 minutes later, my pc blows up literally there's smoke coming out of it and the display is off and it's clearly not working anymore took it to the repair shop-

Batrider deserves to be ported!

With his crew at @ArcadeBrooklyn, @EC3_Arcade, and @SeThrowdown3S, he picked up #3rdStrike and qualified as a Jazzy Finalist in 2 short years. Representing Jazzy Online, @Skipper_NLW sails into Top 16 @ start.gg/jazzy2026 ! July 17-19, be at @AkihabaraDenver. You got next.

EC3 Arcade's MVC2 Storm Warning top 8! Another truly amazing event where everyone played their asses off and it made for a stellar tournament! Cant wait to do this again in October!

@RealGameHistory No. It looks really good. I just snapped this pic with my phone which sucks at taking pics of tubes
