    I may have to take you up on that, lol. See at least you have a HOUSE-now that would be the ticket. I take it you have a garage for this kinda stuff?

    I just noticed something weird with my Netflix playback: after a while the playback goes "dark," like it's going into a screensaver mode or something. The video along with its audio is still streaming at its normal speed, just darker. Is this normal? At the touch of any button on my remote the normal lighting levels return. Has it always been this way?

    Hmm...Exo you sure that story didn't take place in Thailand with THIS guy: (sorry if it's a repost)

    The arcade machine was a present, a product of an old's friends penchant for showing off during gift-giving times. The best part? I now have ZERO mobility in my 1 bedroom apartment. Wow thanks for all of the information man. Yeah I've dabbled with Burning Fight and SOR, but never really got into those games. Obviously I'm biased but I just saw them as weaker attempts at copying Final Fight, although I really did enjoy those games, especially SOR. I DEFINITELY want to check out that DDA, though. What did you think of the SEGA CD's version of Final Fight? It was a welcome title when the only other choices we had at the time were the SNES' incomplete and lackluster versions. Like you, I did not appreciate the reworked music score in this game either. If it ain't broke don't fix it! On another note, in order to break the monotony of walking to the right and beating people up for an hour straight, I try to add stupid rules to keep it challenging: I have the dip switches set to maximum difficulty where it's almost frustrating (why are there two sets of difficulty switches?), 1 life to start, and only 1 additional life after a determined point value, no weapons, and no super/crusher moves unless completely cornered...

    Oh yeah, I'm also a MAJOR Final Fight fan, from playing that game almost exclusively in the late 80's/early 90's in the arcades, owning it on SNES, SEGA CD and even as a ROM on my PC. The person that gave it to me had the machine restored over the course of months, complete with marquee, screen overlay and the rare side-art. I mean, this thing is cleaner and in better shape than any Final Fight machine I saw back in the day, and as a matter of fact on its way to me it was in Disneyland on Flynn's Arcade floor for a day or two-there was like $7 worth of quarters in the coin basket LOL. This thing is so cool I just want to take care of it. What troubles me is that there is no fan on the top of the cabinet to draw out all of the heat from the 25" CRT, and that thing gets HOT, so I may install some PC case fans or something. If any of you guys have any other ideas on how to take care of this freaking beast, please let me know. PS: So....do arcade machines still use CRT's or do they use LCD screens now? If so, I'm wondering why they didn't just mount an LCD panel in this cabinet for the obvious advantages that an LCD screen would have over CRT? Would this ancient game not look good on a modern LCD?

    Yeah but they couldn't fool "this" bastard, lol. And then a quick jaunt over to Google Image search showed me everything I needed to see...

    Quick question that isn't really "game" related but hardware related. I'm loving my new Final Fight arcade machine but I'm unsure as to whether I should turn it off when I'm not using it, or just leave it on like how it would've been treated in an arcade. Would constantly powering it on and off be somehow bad for it? Would leaving it on burn it out, so to speak? To me this is just a big cartridge based computer with a hulking CRT monitor on top of it and should be treated as such, but I just want to be sure. Thanks in advance...

    Awesome work guys, I am truly jealous of your abilities...

    On the other hand, I thought Kat Dennings was pretty amusing. Not a bad looker, either...

    I loved, no, liked the movie but I have a feeling that if Thor had come out all on its own, without the superhero/comic book movie genre that it's become a part of, that people would have more or less frowned on the movie. Instead, I think people are more willing to forgive superhero/comic book adaptations for their shortcomings because, "hey, it's not a great movie but it's a decent adaptation." Again, let me emphasize that I liked Thor but it certainly isn't the strongest comic book-movie. Unlike Iron man 1 lol...

    "Sigh" my crazy ex-roommate left this for me:

    The actor who played the pet store clerk really helped that moment out too. His wide-eyed expression was like "wow this guy is completely nuts" lol...

    Alright well how about gifts that we've wanted since childhood but decided we'd never be able to get our hands on them? I got a text from my sister while I was at work, asking me why there was a giant arcade machine sitting in the middle of my living room. We went back and forth over it, with me telling her that I had no idea what she was talking about and her accusing me of buying it, when she sent me a picture. What I saw was a factory-fresh looking Final Fight arcade machine. After some calls I tracked down my old roommate who was behind all of it. I'll get into more detail and post some pictures later, but he told me that over the last year or so he's had some professional aracade shop restoring an original Final Fight machine (circa 1990 I think) with a 27" screen. Jesus man, we played this game to death in high school together and now it's mine. I can't wait to get home!

    Lol I still obsess over 'Clash. I was so stoked that I found a decent quality 'boot with the 'Clash language track as an audio option on DVD; now I can retire my VHS...

    Shunya's the BEST. I have a few of those that I bought from e2046 but I had to stop buying them because it just waaaaaay too expensive...

    Robotech, just like most of you. I have to say that the story ended for me at Plus and Zero-I never bothered with '7 or anything else...

    ^^^^WOW. I put in a preorder for Wolverine's kid, whatever her name is, and Christy (?) from Tekken. The only ones that really caught my eye previously were Black Widow and Ms. Marvel, but they're all beautiful girls/statues...

    Daaaamn man, this is too tempting...

    Got a question also: if one were to buy the Super/Strike parts set, is that set compatible with any of the V2 VF-1 1/60's?
  20. myk
    WOW that's a lot of good deals there...

    Asides from the car, Sally Field's cute little ass is the only thing I remember from that movie...
  22. myk
    I think a lot of that had to do with Cruise having produced/directed/paid/written for or whatever he did with that movie. And, like anything else where an actor is dually involved with a film, it ends up being a stroke-fest for that particular actor...

    I guess they're just going to drop the whole Baroness thing? That's alright, I think I noticed more ninjas...

    Lol.....Oooooh wow. Unlike a character in a traditional MG game, I am totally speechless...

    Here's a thorough looking list of which VF1's tend to offer what to potential buyers: http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=4599 Personally, I gave up on the Yamato thing a long time ago. If I'm going to gamble with hundreds of dollars I'll take it to the casinos. If I want to pick up a good looking fixer-upper-project then I'll buy a 60's muscle car. But a pretty looking chunk of plastic? PASS...
