The Occupation of Alcatraz was a 19-month long protest which began on this day in 1969, when 89 Native Americans and their supporters occupied and reclaimed Alcatraz Island as indigenous land.
The protest was led by Richard Oakes and Grace Thorpe. The group chose the name Indians of All Tribes (IOAT) for themselves and lived on the island together until the protest was forcibly ended by the U.S. government.
IOAT claimed that, under the Treaty of Fort Laramie between the U.S. and the Lakota tribe, all retired, abandoned, or out-of-use federal land was returned to the Indians who once occupied it.
By late May of 1971, the government had cut off all electrical power and all telephone service to the island. Left without power, fresh water, and in the face of diminishing public support and sympathy, the number of occupiers began to dwindle. On June 11th, 1971, a large force of federal officers removed the remaining 15 people from the island.

It is kinda of a shame that there aren't games that have a vast and deep story and world where you have to interact with it through a ddr dance pad/motion controls/music instrumental controller. I want some vast rpg where people struggle with an existential crisis and then you have to dance battle god at the end.
If God can't win one dance battle against some teenagers then I guess I'm atheist now
You're telling me a bunch of teens can win a dance battle against this??

You're right no power of friendship is getting one over him
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Tim Schafer claimed in 2009 that he tried to get Brutal Legend to work with a guitar controller but failed.
I believe it would have been interesting at least the rest of the game was a bit of a mess anyway imo
Persona 4 Dancing All Night
donkey kong jungle beat is close
I did play that game and enjoy it a lot, still have my bongos and never tried the rhythm game
Drakenguard 3 is likely the closest you'll get.
I actually been trying to work through the first 2 games before I play 3
Thats interesting. Are you fan of the neir series or are you starting the whole thing from scratch?
I played a bit of Nier on the ps3 and never got far, tbf I put the highest difficulty on and didn't wanna spoil myself in case if the other series was necessary. I did end up emulating drakenguard one and while the frame issues aside I just been doing my best to get through it kinda figuring a guide that will let me see the whole game without spoilers
you can play any game with a ddr pad if you're stubborn enough. shitty quicktime events do half the work for you
so I seen those attempts more like someone playing dark souls with a guitar thing
I tried playing Donkey Konga with a dancepad and had to fold the pad over itself and stuff to make it almost work, but it's just not good slapping a floor pad over a conga.
Ive had an idea for an rpg where you're a band on your that could use instrument controls
i feel like i've seen that on my steam recs or something but i can't remember a name
Well...my idea that will never be realized is better. Cause the vibe of mine would be a combo of Streets of Fire, Miami Connection and The Warriors. Where everyone is in a band, bands are sometimes also gangs and everyone knows martial arts. It would be called Road to Rebel City. The rhythm element in the mother 3 battles and the Runaway 5 from Earthbound kinda came together and then I got onto a big kick of watching movies with a lot of neon in the rain and clubs where the director's friends band is playing.
I'd play it just strumming the thing to get past walls of exposition
Just posteda more expanded version of my idea a bit below. Its something I thought of a few years ago and it bubbles up here and there. It would be more like the vibe of a 70s/80s movies like Streets of Fire and the Warriors. I have a very vague plot outline and a sick title: Road to Rebel City. It's also a vibe where the less exposition the better cause explaining shit would not be rock n roll. Everyone in this game is in a band, owns a club or is in a gang or a combination of the 3 cause rock n roll ain't a that you can quit at any time, rock n roll is a serious thing, like war and crime. Also everyone knows martial arts as well but that's not part of the battle system. The battle system is strictly rock n roll battles
Yeah something like this give me a reason to want to progress than getting a high score
I have figured out an rpg battle system to a certain extent around the instruments so different gear combinations are different tones which is kinda character class and those combined create a party class or genre and those influence what guitar hero kinda shit you do, ideally it would be played with pals but ff12 style telling the party AI what to do in advance and one person being in sync with that with maybe less leeway for fucking up for single player than for more people. You can play looser in multi-player than single player that way to make up for it being done by people.
I'd like this, getting friends along to play DND is hard enough so just being able to play solo would be a nice option
It's crazy how homogenized and wasteful the video game industry is with stuff. Especially peripherals. People spend so much money on steering wheels, fishing rods, analog dial controllers, barcode scanners, fight sticks/pads, light guns, etc. And then like 4 games, maybe, use them. Coolest thing I heard of was Starsky & Hutch on PS2 (and maybe other versions) supports steering wheel & the light gun so two people can play it like they're in a car together, one driving and one shooting. Or you could do both which seems like it'd be fun.
The Oniimusha games had a motion sensor katana controller. FF10-2 had some gimmick gun controllers based on Yuna's pistols. They spend so much money on this stuff and no one utilizes it.
Right I got my old ddr pad stuffed in my closet I'm annoyed that I barely use it same with my wii balance board, it might be because they hard to develop for but if they were more open source idk we might get something
plot twist god is played by mickie jackson.
I took on Miracle Johnson with kiryu before and lost
