Mass Effect is alright.

noise will dig it.

I always choose medieval fantasy and steampunk over futuristic/sci-fi when I have a choice.

Serious question - how big are most arcade cabs really? Think I can fit one in the back of a Ford F-250 (it has a cap).

My wife says I can buy one (1) cab.

Cap? Is that a bed cover, or one of those things that sits on the bed and makes it look closer to a bronco thing?

If its the second, you should fit one no problem.

yeah I'm the opposite. I'll take Phantasy Star over Dragon Warrior and Star Wars over Lord Of The Rings.

But Dragon Age is amazing.

Hmmmmmm...... I think this may be an issue where terminology varies by region.

Well Phantasy Star is one of those weird combo settings. It's futuristic with spaceships and whatnot but there's still swords, magic, dragons, etc. I dig it.

The whole medieval/fantasy vs. space/sci-fi thing is an interesting dichotomy amongst nerds. I think most people like them both but have a strong preference for one or the other.

Yes. It will hold a standard Dynamo, or an astro city - I have transported both in F100s with similar caps in the last year. It will not hold a 4slot neogeo or a capcom big blue, without sticking out the back though.

Yeah, Phantasy Star's got the schizo-tech "sci-fi meets sword and sorcery" vibe to it like Star Wars. I've always enjoyed those type of settings too.

I lean more towards sci-fi than fantasy but they're two great tastes that taste great together.

Surely it's not hard to take the top off if you had to, is it?

yeah - I have also always been partial to the combo setting thing as well.

Are there any games w/ mechs and dragons? Cuz that's an awesome combo.
