Would it be possible for us to put a fan or two by the playing area? I'd even be willing to pick a couple up and donate them for the cause. I don't normally sweat much, but I got drenched pretty fast today and would like to avoid getting dripping wet so quickly in the future. :x

Okay Pro 2 owns pretty hard. I noticed that sometimes the Crossovers group shows up and sometimes the songs are integrated into the Pro 1 group. What's up with that?

I'm guessing just some errors the game is creating.
There's a bug right now that is screwing up the left and right selection buttons.

So I'll be living in Seattle for the summer, and I'd REALLY like to check out pro2 at power play.  Thing is, it's kind of a long trip for me (no car), so I want to go when I wouldn't be the only person there.  When's the machine most active?

Anyone know if the machine has the latest patch?

No it doesn't. Some one should contact Jim about it. I would but I have no info to reach him

Also can we get this topic title changed so it's not a "beta test location" anymore.
Because....you know.....the game is out haha xD

SFX totally posted asking about this machine in JUNE and nobody responded. That makes me feel sad about the state of our community.

And yeah, good point Keby - it's not a beta test anymore!

Removed the beta test thing!

I don't get to PP often, so I didn't know what to tell him.

Jim if you read this at all. The volume on PIU PRO 2 is incredibly low.
So much that the sound of my feet is drowning out the music. If you do see this, can you please nudge the volume up a bit please?

thanks

We apologize about the volume.  We had a group that bought out the arcade for a night and requested all the game volumes be turned down so they could "network".  My tech must not have turned the volume back up.

New location for the machine should also keep it cooler to play.

I hate to harp on the volume issue again, but the machine was still pretty quiet when I was there on Sunday. While it was tolerable when there was no activity happening around the machine, as soon as Outrun 2 started blaring (or worse, the tag team combo of Outrun + noisy kids) I was only able to hear the bass kicks.

Did you ask anyone to adjust the volume to your particular level during your visit?  I have technicians in the room at all times.  If you don't ask...we can't help. 

Come up and introduce yourself next time you are in.  We will ALWAYS try to please to players during their visit within reason.

Thank you for the feedback!

p.s. tonight we adjusted the volume up again and repaired a loose sensor for the group that was in tonight.

Indeed, the volume was sounding a lot better following that adjustment. Thanks.

I went here today and totally didn't realize that PRO 2 was at the front of the arcade instead of the back. In my opinion, that's a better spot to put it since it's well lit and more people can see where it is or whose playing. Also, the flashing lights weren't as blinding and didn't hurt my eyes as much as they did before in the back, where it's dimmer.

Agreed.
Good job Power Play staff

Oh, and pads were good, volume okay, etc. etc.

All in all, good day for Pump

I was there last night for a while with Ancsik and Dr Z.

PIU is in the front, and there is NO LIGHTING near the machine, so all of the LEDs are blindingly bright in the dark corner. It got annoying after a short while.

Most of the doubles charts on PIU:Pro 2 are just as "good" as ITG 2 double charts. (For any double charts 8 and below)

And if you ever wanted to play any of the racing games, Sega Outrun 2 is by far the best of the racing games at Power Play.

PS: If anyone can beat my .1 score for reflex time on the punching game, I'll buy you a couple of PIU:Pro 2 sets.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!? F*CK THAT NOISE! I drove all the way down there at 4pm, only to see that they had a private event scheduled. I asked the guy if it was going to be an all-night thing, and he said yes. That little prick. 'Cause of him I spent nearly two hours in traffic for absolutely NOTHING.

@Suko: Yeah, Keby had the same problem. I wish I'd have known you were in the area; you could have at least hung out here until traffic died down!

So Fridays seem to be a bad day for PIU. LOUD MUSIC due to lots of people at the bar who like getting drunk and being in close proximity to each other. :\

So PIU:Pro 2 was barely audible. At least everyone stayed over at Lucky Strike's bar though.

Also, Jim, none of the staff knew what to do with the $10 Lucky Strike/Power Play birthday credit that gets emailed out from Power Play on the month of your birthday.

Damn, I should've done that. Oh well, I forgot about that option tho. =D

Thanks for letting me know.  I will follow up with the marketing department and see where the communication about that got missed.  Would you mind sending me an email with the details: when you where in, if you recall who was helping you, guy or girl...I wiil follow up and get you taken care of.

Random note.

We are a quite a few patches down. I was wondering if we could get the machine updated to r14. It fixes a lot of sync and bug issues as well as adds a few new charts and songs that our machine is missing.

The power play machine is like....r8 maybe? Just wondering if this can get done anytime soon. The directions for updating the machine are on the website here.

May be headin' over here for a bit of some casual play around 7:30 with a friend that's never tried Pump before.

Since it's Friday, they'll have the dress code enforced; therefore I'd be avoiding 10+ footers regardless 

Going here tomorrow with Tuan & Zack. Other people should go.

I might join u guys after I get off work (~3:00).
