Fantasy RBI Arcade Game thread. Rebooted from 2018

darky, when you say you "dont want strictly a gaming laptop" i'm not quite sure what you mean.
the 'gaming' aspects of a computer are going to be the upgrades that you really pay for, and theres nothing to stop you from doing other things on it. theres certainly some different types of performance laptops, but i don't think you'll be doing much or any of the things where ou'd have to discern what type of performance you're looking for.

you want a decent gpu & cpu to run and stream games, but NES doesn't really call for much

[Darky]

That makes sense nomaaa. I made some wrong assumptions when I googled top laptops to stream Twitch and that took me to top laptops for gamers and then I ended up on top all-around laptops. I basically want high performance and max capacity everything. The brands are ones I am unfamiliar with, so that sort of stumbled me since I generally like to stick with Lenovo or HP. But hey, I'll be getting the best all-around out there and I don't care what brand - as long as it is not Chinese.

And I'm scoring your game right now - taking a few!

[nomaaa]

yea that's like scoring 2 games

[Darky]

Season's highest scoring game features 71 hits and 51 runs. Blue Foot Boobies prevail in hitting fest with RSanto's GWH.

5 hitters, Canseco, Adcock, Cedeno, TWilliams, Bench, hit multiple homeruns. Canseco and Bench register 3 HR - Adcock blasts 4 HR tying him with Mantle for season high in a game.

Purple Reign out-homer Blue Foots, 11-6, but Blue Foots hit 15 doubles to Purple Reigns 6. Fuentes' big day featured 2 doubles and 2 triples, 5 hits and 4 runs from the 8th hole. TWilliams goes 6/7, 7 RBI, 2 HR, and 2 doubles. Adcock's huge day gave him 8 RBI and Cedeno went yard twice and drove in 6.

Purple Reign down 12-2 after 4 innings, then 19-11 after the 6th. Courageously fought back to take a 21-19 lead in the 7th. Lead exchanges 3 times down the stretch with the Blue Footed Boobies showing strong will to win it in the end.

Blue Footed Boobies move into 1st place tie with Montreal, Hulksters, and the Empire. Purple Reign lose second straight and now find themselves in survival position for the playoffs, but still in reach of a bye during WildCard round.

3:00 p.m. Dee Nee time Week 14 goes down for our boys of summer!

The games will go in the precise order that you see in the schedule. So when game 1 is done, I start recording with the final score/newspaper clip showing and then reset the rom so I can start game 2 while recording - and the rest follows accordingly. That's the best I can do for authenticity right now.

This will be the last slate where I record games directly after each other which means it's only live for me. I'm at work today and I won't be able to go to the tech store to get a new laptop, but the plan is to do it tomorrow. So that means for week 15, we'll be going live on Twitch for the games, but I'll still post each individual game on YouTube. Also to insure authenticity and integrity, I am appointing Fighton as quality control. What I mean is that when I go Twitch live for the games, I'll go to nightwulf's RBI Editor to download the game rom and then load it into the rom while live on Twitch.

I will also export the player stats text file and post it to the stats thread while on record/Twitch live and the link will look like this: http://nightwulf.rbicentral.com/cgi-bin/rbi-editor2/rbi-editor.pl?action=textdump

Doing that will give anybody the opportunity to make sure the players attributes are precise and match the original Arcade ROM. So with these measures in place, everybody can feel secure and confident that there is no invisible hand trying to influence or control the outcomes of the games. I am running the league and I also have a team in the league, so I would like that there is system in place to ensure the games are authentic as well as the players' attributes/stats.

Hopefully I can figure out Twitch asap on my new laptop so there isn't a long delay until week 15.

Week 14 ... dog days of summer!

[fightonusc]

What a weird final play in my game. I've never seen that before.

[TempoGL]

[Nacho]

Jesus Christ MScott was really dealing.

[ryno]

Wow.   Stellar defense by the dicks on one hand.  Shitty defense on the other

[Darky]

What a weird final play in my game. I've never seen that before.

Never seen it either and what a way to end the game! Your Spiders are still in it - LET'S WIN THE WHOLE GODDAMN THING!
Your boys took down the Hulksters and now the Exposé in consecutive games with your backs to the wall. Shooty must have went through different stages of emotions, from rage to depression! Another odd sequence I witnessed was in the bottom of the 6th. You had Bonds on first and somebody else at third. Bonds attempted to steal second, but Morgan hit a liner to the 3rd baseman. The 3rd baseman caught it and threw it to the wall. The runner on third scored before Bonds was doubled up at first - never seen that either. You stole a quick run before the inning ended. Shooty must have went livid apeshit, haha.


Lots to say here, but I succeeded in getting a new laptop today - Dee Nee! I got the processor I need to do the things I need to do with no lags, and of course to broadcast Twitch. Now I just gotta configure a bunch of shit and move over the BallStat/BallScore program and season stats to my new laptop. Hopefully nothing odd happens in transferring from my extra hard drive. The stats and all that are fine since I just put in my extra hard drive, but the program itself was downloaded to my old laptop. So we'll see if it goes smooth as far as the paths set on the new laptop. The big headache will be trying to figure out Twitch, but I'll get it done. Hopefully I'll have it figured out tomorrow for Week 15.

Yeah, my Empire didn't bring the sticks yesterday. The pitching was spectacular, but my RP bullpen isn't the strongest part of my team, and we've been able to avoid them with complete games or the second SP going the rest of the way and of course those 2 quick mercy rule wins I had during our 5-game winning streak. Gibson and Koufax and Strassy's bullpen were on point yesterday. This McCrmk is the real deal from the pen. And Tempo's guys were playing with their backs to the wall in an almost must win situation. I don't know what he told his guys or what Steely Dan song he now plays in the locker room, but they are on a roll and now in position to avoid the 6th, 7th, or 8th seed ... if they keep winning.

And Gehrig had a HUGE day for Ryno - I think he blasted 4 of them!

Nomaaaa team has now been coined the Kardiac Kids! How many 1-run games does he keep winning along with those comebacks in the clutch?!?!

Beef and Nacho's team - the free fall continues. And crazy that Shooty's team is on a 2-game skid. I think his players don't like living in Canada.

We got juicy storylines right now!

Recaps to come throughout the day. We'll shoot for week 15 tomorrow.

Team stats and team leader stats - I'll do my best. Gonna be a busy day getting Twitch in order and the configuration of shit, along with a visit to the gym. But this is my focus gentlemen!

[nomaaa]

i'll give you a ball stat

[nomaaa]

it's called MBYC

[nomaaa]

/mrrbi

[Darky]

/mrrbi

hahaha! I actually still use that once in a while to some dudes here - MBYC! For some odd reason, I thought about him and that idiom yesterday! Got a Lenovo ideapad L340 today - working brilliantly so far, but some issues with creating the proper paths for the scorebook/stat program from my external harddrive. Twitch is ready to go, just need to choose between Twitch Studio Beta or OBS. My new laptop had the hardware for Twitch Studio Beta, but should I go OBS? The pain in the ass will be running an actual Twitch stream as a test and having it go okay. Lotta steps to go through to set everything up.

I'll create a nomaaaa thread on the other board for questions if any come.

[nomaaa]

as far as twitch studio/OBS, go with what's easier for you. you just want the games up and running, not much more than that. it's a pain, but once you get it going, should be easy to do

games this week have been really exciting.save for MScotts gem. i'm on the last one now, couldn't believe the dicks pulled it out

[nomaaa]

spiders got it going late, but man, that 9th inning was a real doozy

[Darky]

Steely Dans Revenge surge into 3-way tie for WildCard playoff spot with third straight win. Clutch 9th inning hitting and pitching seals victory of the Empire. With the game tied at 8 in the 9th, Banks and Dawson hit back to back doubles to take 9-8 lead, TPerez then blasts second HR of the day to increase the lead to 11-9. McCrmk preserves the lead and picks up 3rd win with only 1 run allowed against the Empire's middle of the lineup. Entire Steely Dan pitching staff was spectacular.

Empire's five game winning streak comes to an end with paltry hitting throughout the lineup, drop into third place by tiebreaker with Montreal.

[Darky]

With backs to the wall, Cleveland Spiders shock Montreal Exposé to remain alive for the playoffs. Second straight victory over first place team. Spiders outhomer/outscore the #1 team in homers/scoring, get solid pitching and clutch hitting down the stretch to secure victory. Game ends on rare wild double play.

Montreal loses second straight - longest losing streak of the year for them. Shooty declines to talk to media.

Spiders now 4-4 at home, 0-6 on the road. Hand of God guides curving ball down the RF line into fair territory for B.Bonds 17th HR.

[Darky]

Roger Maris' gargantuan day lifts Swinging Dicks over U7 in extra inning thriller. Joltin Joe hits GWH in the 10th, Lee Smith holds off 10th inning U7 rally as game ends on 6-5-4 double play. Swinging Dicks move into 5th place, U7 slide into 6th place. Swinging Dicks out-homer U7 9-2. McGwire quietly threatening Mantle's 28 HR lead by hitting a pair of shots - now at 24 HR.

U7 hurts themselves by hitting into 3 double plays, fittingly the last DP ends game. Horner goes impressive 6/6.
