The Streets of Rage Remake didn't fair too well. We hooked up Hobie's laptop via S-Video to the large Sony CRT. We had controller issue after controller issue. Everyone was making LAN party jokes. I think Hobie and Paul actually had the game running for a total of 5 mins with two working Xbox 360 controllers. This was after nearly 40 mins of troubleshooting, me relentlessly bashing Windows the entire time. At some point I suggested someone make a montage video of Hobie saying "fuck".The game ran beautifully on my Macbook in XP with the InPin PS1/2 to PS3/USB adapter, but we couldn't find a 2nd controller with a configuration that Remake agreed with. We finally shut Remake down on the main TV and let people take turns playing one player on the Macbook with a PS One controller.
Redline9 and I played through a pretty lengthy Story Mode session in Guardian Heroes at one point while the rest of the group took apart Streets of Rage 2 and Turtles in Time: Reshelled. We rounded out the night with Three Dirty Dwarves on the Saturn.
A video will be done, but I was working with a new camera and the focus settings were on a very undesirable setting. I know Redline9 was taking some video, so we will have to see what we can salvage.
Maybe if there's another Thanksgaming I could still bring it.
